2nd 4 (7) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Dual novice winner (7f/1m) who confirmed herself progressive when strong in the finish to make a successful handicap debut at Ascot (7f, soft); a 4lb rise is fair and difficult to know the ceiling of her ability. |

Registered good-ground wins at Doncaster (7f) and Haydock (1m) in last two novice starts; may well handle softer conditions, being by Mayson; respected with further progress plausible. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo with a progressive profile; beaten neck when odds-on at Newcastle (7f) last month; usually travels strongly and should be at least as effective back at 6f; still on a workable mark and high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his novice here by 5l and looked on a workable mark for his handicap debut at Wolverhampton but he never travelled after starting slowly; wouldn't judge him on that performance and could be given another chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Built on a promising start (here and Doncaster) when downing the odds-on favourite in style at Newcastle (7f, novice; 15-8) over a fortnight ago; switches to handicapping on this similar Tapeta surface from a workable opening mark of 83; a fascinating contender. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only two rivals in a 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield but coped well with the 4lb rise to finish close up at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); firmly enters the reckoning. |
5/1 |
|
4 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo won a 1m2f Newbury maiden and doubled his tally in a three-runner 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield 13 days ago; only 4lb higher and quite fair to factor in further improvement going forwards. |
6/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won by a head in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) in May; ran creditably on handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) next time but soundly beaten when 16-1 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on latest; against Hot Dancer, this one probably needs overall improvement. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; unable to reproduce that form since, most recently on handicap debut at Doncaster, but gelded since and that may help him tap back into his initial promise; represents top yard; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; not discounted. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player. |
7/2 |
|
1 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Gosden maiden who's shown enough this spring to suggest he's on a competitive mark now; still to finish placed after nine runs, often at short prices, but no surprise to see him pop up; look for some support this time. |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Capable of fair form but he failed to go on for John and Thady Gosden last season and didn't offer obvious promise in two outings for this yard last month. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Capable of fair form but he failed to go on for John and Thady Gosden last season; off five months before a patiently-ridden seventh of ten for his new yard in 6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; can build on it now. |

0-13 and best efforts have come on ground on the soft side of good; hard to recommend from out of the weights. |

4th 12 (6) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Exposed maiden who's still to convince over this far; didn't offer much on her Redcar comeback three weeks ago. |
25/1 |
|
12th 13 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden who is unraced on fast ground; however, she ran a couple of promising races last autumn, including here, and reappears with her yard going well; one of two for stable; not ruled out each-way. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C&D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Rare run at shy of 1m when not far behind three of these over C&D last month; generally consistent but has only won once and didn't build on that back on turf last time. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was at Ripon (1m, good) last April but he's run plenty of good races since; last week's fifth of 14 at Newcastle (7f) was another respectable effort but he remains 2lb above the mark he defied at Ripon. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tailed off when upped to 1m2f at Leicester last July and absent since; however, prior to that she kept on well for fourth on her handicap debut at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in for her top yard at this sort of trip. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Beat one home on her debut but built on that in two novices in the spring and it was a respectable handicap debut when fourth of nine at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; stayed on) last time; can probably do better now upped in trip. |
4/1 |
|
1 (4) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made steady progress in her qualifying races, keeping on for fourth in Newcastle novice (7f, AW) on latest outing; moves back up in trip for this turf return; should have more improvement to come in handicaps. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence. |
