16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ran surprisingly well to finish so close in last year's Queen's Vase over C&D but perhaps flattered by that given subsequent defeats (Group 3 and a strong handicap); gelded prior to tailing off on his hurdling debut at Cheltenham in November and absent since; the return of cheekpieces is no bad thing. |

7th 14 (14) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last three outings, all on good to firm; won a 1m4f Thirsk handicap on first occasion and he's 23lb higher today thanks mostly to his staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot; failed to confirm that improvement in 1m5f Newmarket Group 3 on latest start, admittedly not disgraced but that makes others look a bit more solid today. |

3rd 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Wore cheekpieces the last twice, winning a Thirsk handicap (1m4f) then appearing to improve markedly with staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Queen's Vase when upped further in trip; latter effort ties him in with a few of today's rivals; may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Below best at the end of last season and also well held on 7f Catterick reappearance, taking her record to 0-13; a subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect. |
16/1 |
|
11th 6 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Below best at the end of last season and she's 0-12; wears a first-time hood for this return, having worn blinkers then cheekpieces on final two runs last term; on a handy mark on last season's best efforts (including over C&D) and she's not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
6 (2) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-race maiden; started the season in good form but last two runs have been well short of her best; cheekpieces tried after one go in blinkers; handles Tapeta and well drawn to attack but there are risks attached. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
A two-time 1m4f scorer at Wolverhampton in the spring; rare poor effort when last of eight in 1m4f Newmarket handicap last time; the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Had plenty of chances from marks in the mid 70s last season, ending it with two below-par runs; her mark has eased as a result but it's not enough to tempt back from nine months off. |
40/1 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
3yo who was third on her stable debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in August and has an each-way shout on that form; however, she failed to settle when well beaten there (1m2f, good to soft) last time and has to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
8th 11 (10) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Made all in a small-field maiden at Bath (1m, firm) in May and best form when second on handicap debut at Sandown (1m, good to firm) the following month; left Andrew Balding for 35,000gns after two lesser efforts in July and it was a promising start for this yard when 33-1 but third of nine over C&D (good) three weeks ago; considered. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 in handicaps since winning a Chelmsford maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Alice Haynes a year ago, but his fourth of ten over C&D on penultimate start offers some hope; visor now given a go. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled in handicaps for Alice Haynes after winning a maiden here over 7f last January but he ran a solid race at Wolverhampton (7f; reported to have lost a shoe) on his stable debut 19 days ago, while leaving the impression that he's worth another go over this trip; contender. |
7/4 |
|
2 (11) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Narrowly off the mark on his second start in a Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) in January, but has regressed in three handicaps since; cheekpieces made no difference on turf debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last month (gelded since); best to look elsewhere. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two-time Flat winner, most recently at Southwell (AW, 1m3f) in April; made a modest start over hurdles when a distant third of five at Hexham (2m; turf debut) just over two weeks ago, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; could improve on that returned to a quicker surface. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2-6 on the Flat, the latter win gained in low-grade AW handicap in April (1m3f; RPR 68); no surprise if he features on this hurdling debut. |
9/2 |
|
1st 11 (4) |
30th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Much improved since sent handicapping, scoring at Newcastle (1m2f) in January and backing it up with an excellent third at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in February; big shout after a break with latest form working out really well. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won here over 1m1f in April (good to firm) and followed up at Bath (11.5f, firm) next time off a 6lb lower mark than today's; disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) 36 days ago but he did sit close to a strong pace and may be able to bounce back. |
5/2 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made virtually all in a five-runner race at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to firm) last month and followed up in another small field at Bath (11.5f, firm) 15 days ago; up 6lb for last time and steps up in grade, but can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |
6/4 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Dictated matters from the front to win in a small field at Yarmouth 12 days ago (1m1f, good to firm); effectively 9lb higher as they claimed 5lb that day, but stamina won't be an issue over this far. |

10st 10lb |
Failed to build on a mildly encouraging hurdle debut at Stratford (2m, good) in October in two subsequent starts, but heavy ground may not have suited over C&D in December; returns from a break for his handicap debut but needs a marked step forward. |

Had breathing issue when well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in June and, following a wind op, fared better when fourth (behind Stardrop) at Stratford last month; needs another big step forward today, though; hood added. |
