22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Trained last year by Richard Hughes, winning on debut then holding her form well, including two creditable efforts at Goodwood; sold for 70,000gns since last run; the betting may help to ascertain expectations on stable/seasonal debut. |
9/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ran well in competitive races on both handicap starts, more recently when close sixth of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in late July; proven over 1m3f and shapes as though today's trip will suit; must be considered. |
3/1 |

8 (8) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won debut (8.6f, AW) in April; came from last to fifth in a ten-runner Listed race over C&D (1m2f, soft) on penultimate start and last to third in 11-runner handicap at Southwell (1m3f, AW; met traffic) on latest, on both occasions looking capable of better. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all for both wins at around 1m on turf last year, each for a different stable; has run well on Tapeta, but Polytrack remains a question and he will need to do better than on his debut for this yard at Bath 15 days ago. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
One win apiece for his two previous yards, taking his turf record to 22411; ran well on AW last time and sold for 25,000gns since; interesting returned to this sphere on debut for another new stable. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eighth attempt when making all in a Beverley maiden (8.5f); left Charlie Johnston and made a winning start for new stable with another all-the-way success at Haydock (1m) in September; 9-4 favourite, something presumably not right (hung left and weakened quickly) when last of ten at Southwell in November; given a bit of time since; no surprise were he to resume his progress. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Back-to-back seconds over C&D and shaped as if still in form when sixth to Joseph over 2f further at Lingfield last time; not out of this; trainer/owner also represented by Forca Timao. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery in December and he has run three good races since, finishing fourth over C&D before two runner-up efforts at Kempton (1m); should remain competitive. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two good runs have followed a wind operation in December, notably when headed in the final stride over C&D five weeks ago; 2lb higher today but still feasibly weighted. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Second on Chelmsford Polytrack in latest AW race; tremendous progress last year once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; improvement stalled at Newmarket in the Cesarewitch Trial and Cesarewitch itself on last two outings, but he remains of major interest on this return. |
100/30 |
|
19 (7) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Tremendous progress once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; he was put in his place, improvement ending, when never-dangerous third to Reverend Hubert over C&D three weeks ago off revised mark, but he's able to race off 5lb lower today; considered. |
9/1 |
|
4 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Since sent handicapping in cheekpieces he's delivered form figures of 12111 and has looked seriously progressive since upped to 2m, again winning as he liked last time at Goodwood (good to firm); handicapper didn't hold back with a 10lb rise but that might not halt his progress. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11; has made the frame a few times over 6f here and makes his debut at this level, but he does have something to prove back up in trip; tongue-tie removed after one use. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden who's turned in three solid efforts in C&D handicaps, latterly when hampered late behind East Tyrone a fortnight ago; one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but he's gone close over C&D in two of his last four runs including a strong-finishing third last month; on the same mark here and he's a big player if he can back that up. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Still a maiden after eight runs but was seemingly aided by first-time blinkers when close third over C&D 12 days ago and has obvious claims if in similar form again. |
3/1 |
|
8 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fluffed his lines when odds-on for a C&D maiden in June and has run poorly a few times from the front since; inclined to pull hard since cheekpieces went on, so there are obvious risks on that front from stall 9 now switched to blinkers. |
16/1 |
|
4 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in three of his six races and has the form to be competitive off this mark now into handicaps; however, needs to bounce back from his worst run yet when tried in cheekpieces. |

1st 15 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August; didn't fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) next time but resumed his progression in no uncertain terms when close second in valuable 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on final start, form which was strongly boosted last weekend by the winner (Yabher) and third (Daiquiri Bay); could have a big say if the betting suggests he's ready to roll after 211 days off. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 12 (2) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Promising debut (good to firm) on sole run as 2yo; lived up to that on third attempt when winning his handicap debut at Kempton (upped to 1m4f, AW) in August but he did not fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) 16 days ago; needs to resume progress. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising debut on turf one year ago and came right back to that form, and more, when beating 12 others to make winning handicap debut upped to 1m4f here six weeks ago; 6lb higher but he's got a useful pedigree and almost certainly has best days in front of him. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Signs of some ability in a handful of starts for previous yard but he was beaten a long way out on his debut for this one, on Southwell AW (1m6f) in April; has worn blinkers and cheekpieces, now goes in a visor with a lot to prove. |
16/1 |
|
10th 3 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed bits of form when trained by the Kublers, latest when fourth of 16 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last October in first-time blinkers; sold for 8,000gns subsequently and switches to first-time cheekpieces on stable debut; one to watch out for in the betting. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unexposed; two best runs have been over 1m/1m2f on turf; didn't seem to stay when tried over 2m at Southwell last time; blinkers now tried; plenty to prove. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two handicaps last July (1m4f, good and 1m6f, firm); he has finished second in two of his three runs this year, latterly beaten a short-head at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); had just one run on slower than good and finished well beaten, so conditions may be a concern. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A dual 1m4f/1m6f winner last summer and back in decent form of late, fifth in 1m4f Beverley handicap 16 days ago; possibilities. |
