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. |

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. |

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. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July 2025; well held in just two outings since, although the fact he went off at 2-1 for his Thirsk reappearance four weeks ago suggests a lot better was anticipated by his leading stable; it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' are prepared to give him a second chance. |

Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) last July; raised 11lb for that success and was well held having raced keenly at Goodwood (1m4f) next time; has been off for 373 days and has the hood applied for his return; watch the market. |

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. |

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. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; started off for new stable with two down-the-field runs over 1m in the spring, but fared much better when third at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in June and remains on a good mark. |

Ex-Kevin Ryan; won a 1m AW handicap in March 2025; stays 1m2f but below-par when tried over further; bit to prove. |

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. |

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. |

10th 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

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. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Ran respectably with visor fitted at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time, while shaping as if this return to 1m2f is worth exploring; still a maiden but could go well in the retained headgear. |

4th 12 (9) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Third of nine over this C&D last October when trained by Michael Keady but he beat only one rival home here over 1m2f on his stable debut nine days ago and his record now reads 0-18; drops back in trip with a visor added. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |

Generally disappointing since winning off 4lb higher on AW in February but was denied a clear run when midfield in competitive Haydock handicap (1m, good) three weeks ago and enters calculations in this lower grade. |

6th 14 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unplaced last five starts, not really finishing his races; carries obvious risks but his three turf wins came over 1m on good to firm ground and he now returns after a wind operation; he's well handicapped if the surgery has had a positive effect. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Scored off current mark on reappearance (1m2f, AW; in February) but hasn't been in the same form since, latterly back on turf, disappointing favourite returned to 1m most recently. |
