1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go. |

9th 5 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins during last season's progressive 3yo campaign (7f-1m); he's edging back down the weights but has failed to shine on his three runs this term and needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five handicap wins (7f to 1m; four in a hood) in a productive 2025, including on a fast surface, and he looked unlucky when third of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy; Kaleido ninth) in July; probably needed reappearance in March and likely didn't stay 1m2f when never competitive three weeks later; this mark demands a return to his best, though. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Reappeared having been gelded and has shown improved form this spring, going close at Kempton (7f, AW) then winning there (1m); has shown signs of promise on turf and he's a player if transferring his good form back to grass. |

5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Excuses in two nursery runs here last backend and turned in a career-best effort on his 7f comeback here three weeks ago, when coming away with a subsequent winner off 3lb lower; goes on the shortlist. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came at Wolverhampton in 2024 when trained by his previous stable and he's mostly struggled since joining this yard; off for 168 days and is best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

8th 8 (9) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has dropped 11lb lower than when making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last December, for a reason though and his last three starts (including two since a second wind op) were particularly poor; swaps cheekpieces for a hood. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

Still to add to his debut win but he has finished second in handicaps the last twice, over C&D and then at Lingfield (6f, AW); shouldn't be far away off the same mark as last time. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |
14/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 8lb lower) last July; fine on AW, as shown with near miss at Kempton (7f; beaten a neck) last October; sixth - faring best of the three involved in this race - in recent 7f Class 5 at Kempton; may strip fitter, with Mikkel Mortensen's 5lb claim handy. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has run very well in his last two starts over C&D, only going down by a neck in October; not seen since, though, and may just need the run. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
