2nd 3 (4) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a modest 8.6f seller at Wolverhampton last September; not so good since and he'll need to be at his best to take this; is at least unexposed at the trip. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign in sellers, winning once and finishing third twice; well treated on best form but isn't sure to reproduce it and record of 0-8 in handicaps adds doubt. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it second-time lucky when landing a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last December; 0-7 since but he's been placed in two of his last three handicaps and ran better than the bare result back at Kempton (7f) last time; still unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off dangerous mark. |
11/2 |

8th 7 (2) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Connections got a couple of runs into him late last year and he managed a win (here); narrow personal best when upped to 7f this month (second, no match for winner; also here) before seemingly caught out back sprinting on Saturday; chance. |
7/1 |
|

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Good and bad this season but a slow start didn't help when blinkered for the first time at Kempton (7f) and he finished his race out well; quick enough for 6f and, if breaking better here, then should have a say. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |
4/1 |

13 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has some solid form to his name, notably seconds at Haydock and Wolverhampton; 2lb well in but there are other improving sorts on show. |
12/1 |
|
4 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, heavy) last summer, but he was around 5l behind Kinswoman at Haydock (5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October on final start for Alice Haynes; watch the betting on debut for new trainer. |
14/1 |
|
3 (6) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins this summer (5f, good to firm/heavy), on the second occasion at Glorious Goodwood, and another solid run when close third of six at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in August last time; this 3yo wears a first-time tongue-tie and can be in the mix once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in June before bumping into progressive winner at Haydock (5f, good), and back to winning ways at Glorious Goodwood (5f, heavy); this improving 3yo could take a 5lb rise in his stride. |

13th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well-bred colt who is out of a Group 3 winner; showed promise on his Wolverhampton debut (6f) in November and he buiilt on that when a close third over 7f there (7-2) last month; sets a clear standard on that form and he's open to more progress on this switch to Polytrack; tongue-tie added. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently, latterly when failing to reel in Gladiadora at Southwell (7f; 9-1); pestered for the lead, reportedly running "too free", when disappointing over C&D 11 days ago; possible. |
100/30 |
|
9th 12 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-26 but he was runner-up behind Romanovich over C&D last month and had another close call at Southwell (7f) 13 days ago; nudged up 1lb but he should be in the thick of things again. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Inconsistent maiden but posted one of his better efforts last time (9.5f, AW; second start for new yard) while shaping as if this new trip is worth exploring. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 for three different stables, ending up well held held on his debut for this one at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) last Friday after a seven-month absence; best watched for now; stable also runs Arlecchino's Rex. |
20/1 |

7th 12 (3) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up in 7f Leicester handicap in cheekpieces for Paul Attwater last July; only fifth at Salisbury later that month and changed hands for 1,000gns in the autumn ahead of this first outing for a new yard after 216 days off; cheekpieces removed, first-time tongue-tie on. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice for Harry Charlton, both over 6f on Lingfield's AW track; didn't get the chance to show what he could do (repeatedly denied a clear run) when eighth of 12 on recent Chester return for new yard; left the impression he'd have been involved in the finish with more luck and enters calculations. |
10/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice for Harry Charlton, both over 6f on Lingfield's AW track; has shown promise on turf; sold for 40,000gns in October; double-figure draw and revised mark both ask stiffer questions of him but interesting that Oisin Murphy, who rode him to success when last seen, is back in the saddle. |
11/2 |

1st 3 (8) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

C&D maiden win in January; yet to win a handicap but he has run several good races in defeat, including over 6f on AW the last twice; cheekpieces worn for those latest efforts are now dispensed with; should go well again. |
