25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Tongue tied all starts; beat a good one on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) last December and regained winning thread in quite valuable handicap at that track (1m2f) in May; gelded after weakening in 1m4f Royal Ascot handicap in June and weakened again on comeback at York (first-time cheekpieces) 18 days ago; blinkers tried this time and he's not one to give up on just yet. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Beat subsequent Group winner Merchant on his debut and kicked off handicap career with a third and a first over 1m2f; 6lb higher than for the last of those wins but he was only 13-2 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and has been gelded since that 10l defeat; could still be open to further progress and cheekpieces join his regular tongue-tie. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Improving colt who has strong handicap form this term and is 2-2 since upped to 1m4f, last time winning at Royal Ascot (good to firm) where he beat the subsequent Irish Derby runner-up; very much a Group performer in the making and commands major respect upped further in class. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Favourite for his two handicaps this season, both on good to firm and the win was never in doubt through the last 3f at York last time on his step up to 1m4f; 8lb rise demands more from him but he was impressive at York and the form has been boosted; Group 1 King George entry here next month. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (8) |
15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Edged it in the second of two very close finishes over about 1m on AW in December; failed to justify 11-10 favouritism in seven-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance 11 days ago but kept edging closer to go down by a length and 1m4f now seems plausible. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won on handicap debut here (1m, good) in May and has continued to progress, easily making all at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month; beat just four rivals last time and has a 9lb rise to overcome in this much hotter race, but this 3yo is clearly thriving and could play another leading role. |
9/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
All three turf starts have been on good ground; won handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m) and beaten a neck at Goodwood (1m) later in May; stepping up to 1m2f seemed to suit him well when he came from well off the pace for third of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) 16 days ago, which sees him raised another 3lb today and he faces some unexposed rivals. |
9/2 |

3rd 14 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Got up close home on handicap and seasonal debut at Newmarket in May (1m, good; beating the subsequent Italian Derby winner) and beaten just a neck here (1m, good) later that month, when again keeping on well having raced lazily at times; this step up to 1m2f could be just what he needs; chance. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Second-favourite for handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f, good) in June but had no luck, repeatedly checked in his run before ending up fourth of 12; no such problems when 4-5 off same mark in a six-runner race at Epsom (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, produced to score by 7l; given an 11lb rise but could still be well treated judged on that Epsom display. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Gelded after reappearance; second favourite for handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f, good) but had no luck, repeatedly checked in his run before ending up fourth of 12 (neck behind Navid on same terms); off an unchanged mark, he has to be of huge interest. |
5/4 |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Displayed ability in 1m AW contests in the winter and gelded since; this 105,000gns Teofilo yearling is in top hands and could be an improver now up in trip on handicap debut; interesting contender. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in ten starts at 7f-1m2f on a variety of surfaces, including in headgear the last twice; handicapper is trying to help but he'd only be of interest if getting market attention. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in first-time cheekpieces on AW this month (1m2f) and has now been unplaced all nine starts; drops back in trip with blinkers tried here; considered only if lively in the betting. |
14/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in his eight starts and he's been beaten 7l or more in last four handicaps (7f-1m2f); mark continues to fall and headgear is now added but he needs a transformation back on AW. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't progress as may have been expected following a 1m win at Southwell last March; dropped away to finish eighth of the nine runners on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m); enough to prove for now. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last March and runner-up at Ayr in September on final run for Kevin Ryan; sold for 10,000GBP in October; lacks a recent outing but is not ruled out on his stable debut. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his last four starts but those have been over 1m2f-1m4f and this 3yo is back down to the same mark as for his win at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; not written off now back down in distance. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Twice held off 1lb higher since making a successful return from eight months off at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February, including when behind two of these in the Rosebery; needs a resurgence and could probably do without the ground easing. |

Won three in a row to kick off his 3yo and handicap careers last term; back on the up when reappearing to score at Newcastle (AW) in February, before well held (made most) in a warm 1m3f AW race at Kempton; needs to resume improvement. |

Won three in a row to kick off his 3yo and handicap careers last term; resumed progress when reappearing to score in six-runner race at Newcastle (Tapeta) last month on the step up to 1m2f; up 4lb in this much harder race but tries another new trip and is unexposed. |
