1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Upset in the stalls when a disappointing favourite at this meeting last year (subsequently gelded); had a 1m6f win next time and solid performances when beaten about 3l on all three starts this season, sixth of 16 when back up to 1m6f at Royal Ascot latest; others saw it out better that day but he should have serious each-way claims. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 3-9 overall and going the right way in handicaps, finishing a clear second (from the front) over 1m4f at York (good) last time behind a sharp Haggas improver whom he'd beaten over 1m6f on final run last season (good to soft; first run after gelding operation); this return to 1m6f has to be a good thing; respected. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed over 1m4f at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood last summer but returned from a gelding operation to win at Haydock (sole run at 1m6f, good to soft) in September; made a satisfactory reappearance at Epsom 15 days ago and is still lightly raced, so could have more to offer; good ground and softer would probably be better for him than good to firm. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Went close in C&D handicap (good) at last year's Dante meeting in May; had been gelded when one of three of these who didn't see which way the winner went at Goodwood in May but better effort, albeit well held, when second at Beverley (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; not fully exposed and gets first-time cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who showed promise in handicaps at around 1m2f last year, finishing runner-up twice on good; shaped as if needing his Goodwood reappearance after a gelding operation and remains one who should be up to winning handicaps this season; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm at Windsor earlier in the week but should have a big say if allowed to take his chance. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Tongue tied all starts; beat a good one on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) last December and regained winning thread in quite valuable handicap at that track (1m2f) in May; gelded after weakening in 1m4f Royal Ascot handicap in June and weakened again on comeback at York (first-time cheekpieces) 18 days ago; blinkers tried this time and he's not one to give up on just yet. |
10/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Beat subsequent Group winner Merchant on his debut and kicked off handicap career with a third and a first over 1m2f; 6lb higher than for the last of those wins but he was only 13-2 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and has been gelded since that 10l defeat; could still be open to further progress and cheekpieces join his regular tongue-tie. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Unraced on softer than good; seventh start when off the mark in nine-runner handicap at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, returning to form and making most to win by a neck with Ride The Thunder back in fourth; raised 4lb but may have turned a corner with those new tactics. |

0-6; ran well to be fourth on handicap debut over C&D in April but hard to draw upon too many positives since then; was due to wear cheekpieces when withdrawn at Sandown last week. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Excellent progress last term included three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) in March-July and an agonisingly close call in the Melrose at York in August; close fourth in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot on final outing; well below that form on 2026 reappearance but that may have put him right. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |

Excellent progress included three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) last March-July and an agonisingly close call in the Melrose at York in August; close fourth in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot on final outing; better still is required but his record of improvement demands respect. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Progressing well, including three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) this season and he went agonisingly close in the 1m6f Melrose at York on latest outing; all 2025 races have been on good or firmer but he won on soft as 2yo; respected for that improvement but plenty more is needed at this level. |

On the up with a pair of 1m4f wins last summer but has unconvincing form figures this term, albeit met trouble in the Ebor latest; takes a marked drop back in trip now and still needs to prove he can defy a mark in the 90s. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Nicely treated, having gained sole handicap win (1m, soft) off 3lb higher; best efforts this term when runner-up on three occasions, including in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest start; possibilities if suited by the switch to visor. |
7/1 |

2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner; a mixed bag this season but has dipped to a dangerous mark and always a chance that cheekpieces could have a desired effect; ideally he'd prefer a tad further. |

A dual winner at Wolverhampton in January but drops into a seller after coming in last of six (in first-time cheekpieces) in 1m2f handicap at Salisbury last month; needs to bounce back. |

6th 5 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a 1m2f nursery win on soft ground one year ago; career has gone forwards again on last two starts with 1m2f wins at Epsom (good) and Doncaster (good to soft); 5lb higher than last time but he may have had more in hand than the margin suggests; player. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a 1m2f nursery win on soft; rather mixed this term but winning by nearly 3l at Epsom (1m2f, good) three weeks ago was a career best, sticking to his task very well up the near rail; back up 4lb but a serious player if that latest form is reproduced. |
7/2 |

1st 8 (8) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a nursery win at Yarmouth (1m2f, soft) but he's been a bit up and down this season and was only third of four at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last time; record is now 1-9 and others are more persuasive. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Early promise for Marco Botti, winning a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, Tapeta) in December 2024, but well beaten on handicap/turf debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) last April; makes stable debut (same owner) after ten months off; market should be revealing. |
7/2 |

11th 2 (7) |
25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won comfortably in a maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and creditable second to Circus Of Rome in a novice there (9.4f; a head in front of Hot Cash) four weeks ago; can still improve but this looks a tough mark for handicap/turf debut. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 1-18 but his win was off this mark over C&D last autumn; reported to have made a respiratory noise when tailed off on stable debut here in April but he's had wind surgery since and cheekpieces are added on his return; comes with risks attached but he needs watching in market. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner in the autumn and was a close third at Southwell (1m4f) on his penultimate run in January; left the Muir/Grassick stable for 17,000gns the following month; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his last win and he needs a close look for new yard; tongue-tie reapplied. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Successful in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last autumn and there have been some good runs in defeat since, including over 1m4f here 17 days ago; well positioned in that steadily run race and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
