24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Godolphin gelding who is proving consistent (form figures read 11324); ran creditably upped to 1m6f at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, while leaving the impression a stronger pace would have suited; in the mix. |
4/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Worn cheekpieces throughout; form figures of 113 in 1m2f/1m4f novice/maidens, the third coming in a warm race at Southwell; left for dead by the winner on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but that was behind a Juddmonte horse delivering a career best; should stay. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces all three starts; ended well on top in a maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, soft) in October and a Southwell novice (at 1-7) in February; third of six in a warm novice at Southwell (again 1m4f on AW) in early April was creditable and he should have more to offer in handicaps over 1m4f+. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Ghaiyyath 4yo ran to a useful level of form on the Flat last year for Charlie Fellows at around 1m4f; yard debut effort at Galway was respectable, considering he was plenty fresh; interesting now switched to hurdles and one to consider. |

Maiden showed more than enough for Charlie Fellowes last season to suggest he could win races; below best when last seen at Newmarket in October; worth a market check on debut for Gordon Elliott. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |
3/1 |
|
6th 14 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |
10/1 |
|
5 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won back to back over 2m for Emma Lavelle last autumn and ran well to make the frame despite racing freely in a couple of Goodwood handicaps in May; one wonders if the drop back in trip will play to his strengths on stable debut but he makes greater appeal than most of these. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressed in three qualifying runs and he readily fought off a challenge to make winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; 5lb rise is only a footnote for an unexposed sort who looks like he'll relish this step up in trip. |
7/2 |

2 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressive form in three starts on turf without living up to his breeding, finishing second of five on his return from nine months off in a valuable Doncaster novice (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) 18 days ago; may step up again now handicapping with stable 67-210 (32%) here in past five seasons. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Godolphin runner who is well bred and cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; failed to meet expectations in two Newmarket events last term but perhaps he'll do better as a 3yo and now gelded; not written off. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Powerful yard, who won this two years ago, had a few disappoint at short prices of late; this lightly raced 400,000gns yearling holds obvious claims, having been gelded since winning his novice last summer (highly tried a couple of times prior) though. |
4/5 |

1st 5 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Solid second in Doncaster maiden on seasonal debut (1m2f; useful winner has advertised the form since); seemingly out of his depth in Epsom Listed event and Royal Ascot handicap since; respected back in calmer waters. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Flat winner whose hurdles form comprises a couple of second-place finishes and a late fall (beaten at the time); even off bottom weight, this looks a difficult task upped in class. |
33/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive last year, with the second of his two AW wins coming over C&D in December; this is his first run of the year but he has to be of interest. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went very close in a Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) last November but after being gelded, he's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m2f/1m4f) this season; still unexposed but he needs a major revival with visor now tried. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best two efforts from five starts have been on AW and he's been off since finishing last of six in a class 3 at Doncaster (1m2f, good; beaten 24l) in March; drops in grade and steps up in trip with a bit to prove. |
