20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Never figured at Royal Ascot then looked a non-stayer over 1m6f in the Ebor; returns to calmer waters and drops back in trip, so may tap back into earlier progress (AW/turf) that produced form figures of 1211. |
9/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made debut at the end of 2024; won three of his first four starts, on last occasion a 12-runner handicap here (1m4f, good to firm) in May when he led over 2f out and narrowly saw off Stressfree; had been racing freely and prominently, so the widest draw at Royal Ascot (1m4f; just 7-1) posed a challenge but he didn't really fire behind Ethical Diamond; he was shaping up to be a serious talent before that and has now been gelded. |
16/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Not seen on a racecourse until the end of 2024 but he's now won three of his four starts; first three races were tight finishes on AW when trained by Charlie Fellowes; debut for this yard came in 12-runner handicap at York (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago when he narrowly saw off the challenge of Stressfree; up another 5lb today and has joined Wathnan Racing for their big meeting; has been racing freely and prominently, so perhaps the widest draw today will pose a challenge, but he's shaping up to be a serious talent. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Made good strides last season and scored twice at up to 2m, latterly at this track (good to firm); shaped encouragingly on 2026 return (1m2f); failed to build on that at Windsor (11.4f) nearly ten weeks later but takes another step back up in trip today; well handicapped if he returns to his best. |
9/2 |

4th 5 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Brother to the top-class Cracksman; made good strides for Dylan Cunha last season (scored twice at up to 2m) and he shaped encouragingly over an inadequate 1m2f when fourth of eight in handicap at Pontefract in April; appeals as the sort to do well in 2026 and interesting now back up in trip. |
7/2 |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well last season, including a win over 1m4f in April but he was best later on at about 2m (including at York); reappearance this term was pretty encouraging, considering it was over just 1m2f, and he looks a serious each-way contender. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Showed promise in three AW novice events when with Andrew Balding; has finished last on both starts for this trainer (1m and 1m3f, both AW); drops another 5lb but we need to see more before he can be recommended. |
33/1 |

13th 4 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Showed promise in three AW novices for Andrew Balding last winter including over this C&D, but having been gelded he finished last of seven on stable/handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago; may have needed it, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Showed plenty in three starts on AW for Andrew Balding, including when third of 12 behind two useful types at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in February; bought for 7,500gns since and gelded; hood added for handicap/yard debut; interesting contender. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; made favourite in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last time but the start proved troublesome again, very slowly away only to finish fourth of eleven; a clean break would put him right in the picture but that's by no means certain. |
4/1 |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; arrives with something to prove but wears first-time blinkers and it will be interesting to see if he's again towards the head of the betting. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par at Ripon (2m, good) last time but failed to settle and she was progressive previously, finishing third of 13 at Salisbury in August following a break (1m6f, good to soft; unraced on softer); retains potential; dam was a Listed winner on soft ground for connections. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and back to something approaching her best when close up after a break at Salisbury (1m6f, good to soft); in the mix. |

|
3rd 4 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and perhaps ready for a break when turned over at prohibitive odds in a three-runner race at Lingfield (2m) in June; has an 8lb higher mark to deal with now but could still have improvement in her; all turf runs on good or faster. |
