8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Successful five times from ten attempts, including in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, good) in April, but soundly beaten twice since; now on a retrieval mission and has to concede weight all round. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Tailed off in the mud in his Group 1 attempts last November and last month, latterly in the Coronation Cup at Epsom; progressive otherwise, including two Group wins last autumn and another at Newbury (1m4f, good; Tenability a close third) this April; that Newbury performance makes him a serious contender on form but he's not raced on ground firmer than good. |
2/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Scored on soft ground on debut; flopped in the German race won by Bay City Roller but otherwise progressive and overcame trouble to defy a Group 2 penalty in Group 3 contest at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut, taking record to 5-8; about 3l behind Lambourn at Chester last term but is now in the same ball park as that opponent on ratings, with a chance of further improvement to boot; adds great interest to this race. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has reportedly been plagued by injuries and hasn't been able to build on his sole win at Newcastle AW last October; still 4lb above his winning mark but does seem more effective on AW. |
5/1 |
|
7th 12 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Seems to have an aversion to anything away from soft ground on turf, but is proving consistent on the AW (2312); one for the shortlist. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term. |

10st 2lb |
Dual 1m3f/1m5f winner at Hamilton last summer; lightly raced since but back on track of late and posted a solid fifth of 13 in 2m York handicap 18 days ago; enters calculations eased 1lb. |
5/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Tailed off here on final run last season and pulled up at Musselburgh on reappearance, but this lightly raced 4yo got back on track when third here (1m6f, good) four weeks ago and could build on that effort; chance. |

3rd 9 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but unraced on soft since 2024 (trained was positive about it last September); no shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last two starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well again for second at Southwell (1m4f, AW); raised another 3lb but came from an unpromising position last time and still has more to give. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Five wins since July last year including one over 1m4f here; cheekpieces seemed to work well at York (1m2f, good) last time and a player in his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has a 5lb penalty for his narrow win at Pontefract on Monday (1m4f, good), having finished runner-up over this trip at Newcastle on his previous start; well-drawn; cheekpieces tried; place chance. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won maiden at Nottingham (1m, good) in June on reappearance but well beaten on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good; 10-1) six weeks ago; this currently looks a tough mark but this is only his fifth race. |
25/1 |

2 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well related and showed the right attitude on his comeback early last month but that was an ordinary maiden (runner-up since well held behind Song Brocade); yard among the winners but he needs more now handicapping and upped in trip. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he was beaten only a neck when third of seven here over 1m on stable debut last month; below that form when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut and needs to bounce back returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
4 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but he's dropped down the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm; 22-1); looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has some novice form at this trip; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Respectable third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, but his form went the wrong way in three subsequent runs for Marco Botti; record is now 0-8 and has plenty to prove for new yard. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Course winner last May and he doubled his tally when winning at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last September; however, he's been well beaten in three starts this year, including at Ayr (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) on his first start since wind surgery. |
12/1 |

12th 1 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on ground slower than good last season (1m1f/1m2f) and is still quite lightly raced but looked out of sorts on both appearances this spring and needs recent wind op to have made a difference. |
12/1 |
|
7th 12 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won handicaps last season when always prominent at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in May and Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; no show when 14-1 for reappearance one month ago, his first race on good to firm, but it's not hard to think he will be a lot more potent today. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Bred to appreciate 1m2f and that's the way it's been looking over 7f on AW this year, making some late inroads without threatening each time; open to improvement on handicap debut but stamina remains the key question over this far; had wind surgery after debut, now tongue tied. |

9st 5lb |
Well beaten on all four starts, including on handicap debut when ninth of ten at Newcastle (12.5f) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps up in trip and may have more to offer. |
66/1 |

9th 8 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in three qualifying runs over 7f/1m, latterly his yard debut after over a year off; now steps up markedly in trip (bred to stay) for handicap debut with cheekpieces also added; worth a look in the betting. |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

14-1, needed some riding when last of five in novice at Southwell (7f, AW) ten days ago and now sports a visor; stoutly bred, surely one for middle distances (at the least) next year. |

Modest form when fourth of ten in a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) in June on debut; refused to enter the stalls once in July and soundly beaten at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) four weeks ago, so he needs to show something very new. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in a Hamilton maiden last September (8.5f, good to soft; 10-11 favourite); hasn't fared as well in two runs handicapping this term, on first occasion finishing just over 3l sixth of seven at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) to Carlyle Square who's now 6lb worse off. |

5th 6 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |

Went very close in a maiden here (8.3f, good to soft) last September but was tailed off in final 2yo run and he finished sixth of seven on handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month; still unexposed but he needs to kick on again at this new trip. |

6th 2 (7) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Promise in his first two start but he was beaten 31l at Redcar (1m, soft) in October and refused to enter the stalls on his intended seasonal/handicap debut in April (14-1); not obviously well treated and has now been off for 251 days. |
