11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won a maiden and two handicaps from his five starts, the latest win at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f); good fourth of eight when upped to Group 3 at York (1m1f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; needs to maintain his progressive profile but that is possible. |
3/1 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has run four times, with his sole defeat coming at the hands of Wednesday's close Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; made it 2-2 in handicaps when winning in a big field at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago (1m1f, good; has also won on good to firm); today's company demands further and sizeable improvement but that can't be ruled out from this progressive 3yo. |
11/2 |
|
12 (13) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three runs have come on AW/good to firm; back to winning ways at Sandown (1m1f) in June on his first handicap start; did it in convincing fashion and this unexposed 3yo could take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All runs at 1m; tad disappointing in handicaps so far but again gave the impression he'd be worth a crack at 7f last time; could easily confirm earlier promise this evening. |
9/1 |
|
6 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began career with two seconds and a win; less successful in handicaps but he wasn't disgraced when sixth in a warm race at Southwell in July; withdrawn after breaking out of the stalls at Chelmsford in August; carries risks (well held here on only turf start) but he's well bred and lightly raced so there may be better to come from him yet. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on seasonal/stable debut gave encouragement again, followed by a decisive win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May; 14-1 but it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (good to firm; every chance 2f out) and he probably remained in form; needs a close look back at 1m4f. |
2/1 |
|
7th 15 (10) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His form eventually ran cold for the Gosdens last season but he's back on the up for his new yard, following his pleasing comeback at Newmarket with a decisive win at Kempton where he swept by late on (1m4f, AW); has low enough mileage to believe he'll cope fine with a 7lb rise and, despite not being Wathnan's first string on jockey arrangements, he's one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Novice win came here; signed off for the Gosdens with two poor runs but his reappearance run at Newmarket 12 days ago, following a gelding operation, was promising and strongly suggested that the new trip of 1m4f is what he wants; Billy Loughnane, who is 1-2 for the yard, takes over. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Six-race maiden on the Flat for Hugo Palmer; has shown promise when placed in both hurdles starts, latest when third of nine finishers at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month; looks sure to make his presence felt. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat but displayed ability and there was also promise in last month's hurdle/stable debut at Taunton (2m, good), where he was runner-up to a useful (but sadly ill-fated) prospect; in good hands to progress and he could have a part to play. |
3/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Safely held when fifth in first two handicaps, both times over 1m4f on turf; however, last month's Newmarket run came after a break and he might fare better now back on Polytrack and with cheekpieces refitted. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and backed it up with a solid third of eight at Doncaster (1m) 16 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sent off favourite and returned to form with a win at Redcar (1m, good) a fortnight ago; he did it a shade readily and can give another good account off this 6lb higher mark if backing up that latest performance. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (15) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Still has a stronger record on AW than on turf and is 0-8 in this sphere; however, gained sole win off current mark and has made the frame in both Redcar attempts; could go well. |

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 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
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. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-7, though he ended last term with much his best performance when third of 16 over C&D (good to soft; 125-1) in October; off eight months since, but would hold each-way claims if picking up where he left off; stable also runs Tilsworth Turf. |
11/1 |

3rd 13 (14) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
No worthwhile form in six starts, a bumper and five Flat races (6f-1m2f), the latest when beaten in excess of 7l over C&D (66-1); stablemate of Tilsworth Turf. |
100/1 |

12th 13 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Found improvement when winning a 7f handicap at Chelmsford in September; tailed off back at Chelmsford 11 days ago (1m) and plenty to prove from a wide stall. |
20/1 |
|
3 (7) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back to form to open account with clearcut 7f win here last month, her tenth start; it's hard to predict whether she'll build on that success but a 4lb rise does not seem excessive and she should be okay back at 1m. |
13/8 |

13 (2) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Kempton (1m4f) last May but he's been regressive since and was tailed off over C&D last time; record is now 1-12 and he needs a big turnaround. |

6th 8 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time hurdle winner (2m-extended 2m4f); has returned from a break with two solid Flat seconds but disappointed over hurdles at Fakenham in May in between; player if back to his best. |

2nd 4 (2) |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

8st 7lb |
Well beaten in his first four starts but he returned from a four-month break to finish a good second at Kempton 17 days ago; sent off at single-figure odds on that occasion so the improvement wasn't a bolt from the blue; this is a stronger race but he remains capable of better. |

Improved for a step up in trip/switch to handicaps last summer, winning twice on turf at around this trip (good to firm and heavy) before ending 2025 with a close second at Chelmsford (1m6f); still has potential after just nine starts and he's an interesting contender. |

Low-mileage 4yo who won in good style here (11.6f, heavy) 11 days ago and is now 2-7; 9lb higher in a stronger race today but could easily have more to offer over the longer trip; needs to be taken very seriously. |
