21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
All was looking good when making it 2-3 in a C&D novice here in April; since then he's finished last in Listed/handicap company on either side of a good run to be fifth at Newmarket in July (strong 1m2f handicap); all hope is not yet lost as it's still early days, but he now has something to prove. |
16/1 |

10th 6 (7) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Raced on good/good to firm on turf; tailed off in a 1m3f Goodwood Listed race in May but this dual novice winner got his career back on track when fifth of eight in a strong 1m2f 3yo handicap at the Newmarket July meeting; back from another two months off with Oisin Murphy doing the steering; yard also runs Molveno. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 2-3 when staying on strongly to assert late on as 5-4 favourite in a novice at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; useful RPR with that convincing success but he was tailed off when switched to a Listed event at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; still unexposed but has a bit to prove after that heavy defeat and this is a highly competitive race for handicap debut. |

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. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
30th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Recorded his best efforts last year on AW, albeit was perhaps unsuited by soft going in both turf starts; gelded over the winter; open to improvement on this forecast better ground on handicap debut. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Favourite for both runs last season on the AW and prevailed narrowly at Kempton in December (1m3f); top connections have been patient and had him gelded; open to improvement but William Buick rides the yard's other one. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
18th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite at Chelmsford on his debut six weeks ago (1m2f) but it was a promising start and he looked a stayer in the making; sets the standard and capable of better; one of two runners for stable. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Caught wide when down the field at Lingfield in February on last Flat start and when well beaten over hurdles on his last two runs he was contesting hot 4yo races; on a competitive mark on last summer's Flat form and he was a Listed hurdle runner-up in October; not ruled out back in this code. |
6/1 |

7th 1 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Good Flat horse who won his first two starts over hurdles before a close second behind Minella Study in a Listed race at Wetherby (2m, good) in October; still has potential in this sphere but he was only 12th in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham last month and needs to resume his progress in this tough race; visor added. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Fair Flat racer who won easily over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in April, his second handicap; well beaten in valuable Fakenham contest since but back in calmer waters and on a more conventional track here; remains of interest, albeit the forecast rain may not be in his favour. |
6/1 |

9th 12 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who got off the mark over hurdles with easy success at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, his second handicap; hiked up 15lb for that but still can't be opposed with much confidence here. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Winner over 1m2f at Beverley (good) last spring and went agonisingly close to a second career success on Pontefract reappearance (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago; a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent another prominent showing if in similar form. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record is 1-10, the success off current mark at Beverley (1m2f, good) on reappearance last year; ran creditably over C&D (soft) in October; respected on seasonal debut. |
11/4 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1m2f winner at Beverley (good) in April on seasonal/handicap debut; has not improved on that form but close fourth of 12 when dropped back to 1m at Pontefract (soft) last time shows he has major each-way hopes. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reliable and progressive since sent into handicaps, including for a Hamilton win (1m4f, good) on penultimate start and close third at Sandown (1m6f, good) on latest; the latter was behind a Prescott-trained improver and the problem is that he faces another of those today. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent since sent into handicaps and had a bit up his sleeve at Hamilton 16 days ago (1m4f, good); 4lb rise is fair and interesting now sent further as his dam was a smart stayer. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two fair runs in 1m4f AW handicaps; likely needs more for the return to turf and longer trips might be his destiny as dam was a 1m6f Listed winner who finished third in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes, and whose winning offspring include a 2m winner; still not ruled out for yard that won this in 2024. |
