13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 3yo whose best effort by some way came when second in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in April; that form has worked out well, with winner Big Mojo landing last week's Sprint Cup and third-placed Ain't Nobody taking second in the Nunthorpe, and he had an excuse (finished lame) when down the field in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup on his only subsequent outing; has since changed trainers (same ownership and stable); may still be unexposed. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fourth in Group 3 Greenham (7f, good) and improved again to keep on for close second in Group 3 Trial over C&D (good to firm); had the benefit of race fitness in the latter, unlike Big Mojo (first) and Ain't Nobody (third), but should finish to good effect in this big field; a visor goes on; each-way possible. |

2nd 7 (7) |
30th Apr 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has run four times and won novice races at Redcar (6f, good to firm) and at Lingfield (6f, AW; last month); hasn't run badly in Group 3s on his other two outings, the latest in the Greenham (7f) this month, but it's likely he'll need to take a sizeable step forward today. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Kempton handicap in June (6f) off a 3lb higher mark; not matched it twice in the meantime but has been gelded since his latest run and this mark should be within range; more appealing than many. |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Often leads, as when wide-margin winner of 6f Lingfield novice in January; had a tough task on handicap debut but two subsequent defeats, over C&D and at Wolverhampton, suggest he has his share of weight. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |
4/1 |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has some solid form to his name, notably seconds at Haydock and Wolverhampton; 2lb well in but there are other improving sorts on show. |
12/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins and most of his best RPRs have come on AW but his turf runs have come in stronger company than this; drops to 5f for the first time in his career; others look safer. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ran his best race for new connections when a front-running second of six at Chelmsford three weeks ago (6f); runs off the same mark here and has a C&D win on his record; one to consider. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who finished unplaced in his first 11 starts, but made a winning reappearance here on the AW in March; posted another solid effort at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; beaten 1l) 11 days ago and has claims if handling this switch back to turf. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Little in her first three outings, but much better when second of nine on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in May (winner landed her next three starts); off since but still worth a second look. |
7/1 |

22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not too many positives to be gleaned from her first three appearances (6f-7f novice/maidens, peak RPR 41); switches to handicapping in newly applied headgear, with her pedigree at least suggesting that she'll cope with this extra yardage; others preferred. |

Showed little in two starts last year and beat only one rival home on her return at Lingfield (6f, AW) in March; now drops to 5f with the tonuge-tie on for handicap/turf debut; watch the betting. |
