18th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Irish-trained gelding who has a US pedigree; two from two, both wins over 1m at Southwell; faces a stiffer task on bare figures upped in grade but is a promising type who could well rate higher. |

21st Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sold unraced in January for 3,400gns and looked money well spent when making all over C&D on debut three weeks ago (2-1 joint-favourite); open to improvement and he's a strong contender despite the widest stall. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
11-race maiden; only one effort of note since joining Jim Goldie but he drops into his first 0-60 having undergone wind surgery since last seen; interesting to see how strong he is in the market. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden but he's made a positive start for Jim Goldie and stayed on late into fifth in 1m Hamilton handicap 12 days ago; one to consider back up in trip here. |
100/30 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed in a novice and a maiden (both 1m) for George Boughey; low key (0-4, often slowly away) since joining Jim Goldie for 12,000gns; drops into a Class 6 for the first time, though, with cheekpieces added; no forlorn hope. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Came off worst in a pace battle with Granny B and ultimately 6l behind her at Hereford latest (2m, good); could still race more sparingly, but 3lb lower today and fared okay in a C&D juvenile last winter. |

6th 7 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped with promise in juvenile hurdles in December, and although his run last month on handicap debut was a shade disappointing, the heavy ground likely counted against him; hood worn the last twice is retained, and a better showing can be expected from this 4yo returned to a more suitable surface. |
13/2 |

4th 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Owned by Andrew Balding, for whom he was third in a 1m novice on sole Flat start; has shown enough in juvenile hurdles (hooded last time) to believe he can threaten in a handicap of this nature, provided he copes with the ground (unraced on softer than good to soft). |

12th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Cost 325,000gns as a yearling but he was beaten 12l on his Kempton debut and then 4l at Southwell when weaker in the betting (again over 1m); wouldn't be the obvious answer to a race of this nature on what he's shown. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f might be his trip but this far is worth exploring and he went close at Lingfield last time (good) despite starting slowly; very at home on soft ground and has won here; respected. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This looks his optimal trip, having won over it at Doncaster in March, and should be happier back on turf having been unable to take his usual prominent position on the AW a fortnight ago; one of the likelier winners. |
4/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual turf winner, the latest on his Doncaster reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in March; up 4lb and a player if as effective on Polytrack. |

3rd 9 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded before winning at Windsor (good to firm) last May and finished that season with further wins at Sandown (also 1m, soft) and Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm); on the premises when he suffered chance-ending interference at Newbury last time and this tactically versatile sort is well drawn to sit handy; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three of his seven handicaps (1m-1m1f) last term, including the last two; just fourth of 13 to Spanish Voice when favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but that was respectable; player on peak 2025 effort. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a roll when last seen, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) and on this course (1m1f, good to firm) in second half of last season; that form looks solid and he's been nudged up only 3lb for the second success; leading claims if ready to roll after seven months off. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising second in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) last January but he's struggled in both subsequent runs, including on handicap debut at Sandown (1m, soft) last August; still unexposed but he has plenty to prove after another absence; hooded first time. |
33/1 |

9th 8 (14) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Handicap and turf debutant who has a workable opening mark judged on the pick of his AW novice form; gelded since last run six months ago; market may give further guidance. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Three-time AW winner over 6f; yet to offer much over this far (0-5) and hasn't beaten a rival in his last two races. |
11/1 |
|
9th 5 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time AW winner over 6f, most recently at Kempton in May off a 1lb lower mark than today's; third on turf at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) after that success but he's been below that level over this trip in two starts since. |

5th 2 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Triple 6f scorer on Tapeta or Polytrack, and ought to have races in him on turf also judged on last month's Chepstow third (good to soft); this trip still seemed too far for now at Redcar latest, however. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Down the field when 9-2 for last month's handicap hurdle debut over 2m4f at Ayr; however, trainer's representative reported he may have been unsuited by the soft, heavy in places ground; showed promise in three juvenile hurdles towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft) and this 4yo retains potential back down in trip and back on better ground. |
4/1 |
|
9th 11 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
0-9 on the Flat but he's shown promise on all three hurdle starts and has potential off his opening mark judged on his close second at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; receives handy 4yo allowance and he could have a big part to play if seeing out this new trip. |
