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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Close up in 7f events as a 3yo but she hasn't been her old self at 7f and 6f this year, in different headgear in two of her last three starts (none today); looks unlikely for now. |
20/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4yo maiden who has raced mainly at further; two duck eggs this term leave a doubt over current form; chance of revival depends on the effects of this belated return to sprinting, combined with first-time visor. |
13/2 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
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. |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m win for Andrew Balding last May; yet to win a handicap but she is dropping down the weights and she didn't run too badly at Windsor last month; still to conclusively prove she needs this far. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A fair 1m winner for Andrew Balding in 2025; largely below par for current yard though, racing freely when last of nine in 1m Ascot handicap on recent return; should strip sharper here though. |
10/1 |

9th 8 (2) |
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. |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't live up to market expectations in two attempts in juvenile hurdles (beaten 44l and 17l); recent Flat efforts, failing to beat a rival the last twice, are hardly encouraging either; potentially capable from this mark (handicap debut) but risky nevertheless. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
18l behind Mr Moonshine when tenth of ten at Chester latest (1m4f); slight ease still leaves him 4lb above his highest winning mark, and cheekpieces will likely need to inspire a career best. |
25/1 |
|
10th 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f/1m3f wins on the AW; showed little in two runs over hurdles before returning from a break and wind surgery with a fourth of ten at Southwell in January; now back from another break, others are safer. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won on fast turf at Yarmouth (1m1f) and Bath (extended 1m3f) in the spring; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat since; likely to be competitive with Conor Whiteley taking 5lb off. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on turf in the spring and has finished runner-up at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in two of his last three runs; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can continue the good work. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Disappointing last of four at Catterick in July but mostly in good form this term, winning twice; if back on song he should have a part to play. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

12-race maiden; failed to complete in last two starts (FP) and he's likely to be priced accordingly from 3lb out of the handicap; best to look elsewhere. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
7f winner here in December; banging at the door this summer, placed in five of his last six starts, the latest when doing best of the far-side group at Redcar (6f, good; holds Wee Dresser) 16 days ago; should be in the thick of it once again. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (2) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Overall record of 1-15, but he's been placed four times this summer including a close call in a Catterick handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot back in trip. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (10) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Newcastle in December; has finished runner-up in two of his last three starts, including when beaten a length there 26 days ago; switch back to turf is no problem and he makes some appeal. |
