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. |

3rd 1 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won heavy-ground Goodwood maiden at two and it was a convincing success on last year's reappearance/handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) one year ago; disappointed at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood subsequently but had been gelded when back on the scoresheet at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September; drops in trip for this comeback but not fully exposed. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
1-3 but all out in Goodwood maiden (heavy) this time last year; won in clearcut style on handicap debut at Sandown (also 1m2f, good; made most) on his reappearance in April; up to 1m4f but didn't shine in big festivals at Ascot and Goodwood subsequently; excuses both times, however, and there's plenty in his pedigree to suggest this trip will suit even better; definitely not one to give up on. |

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. |

Looked on the up when twice runner-up in 1m2f handicaps at Sandown and York last spring; not seen out after posting just a fair fourth at Newmarket in July but subsequently gelded and remains with potential for yard among the winners. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a very good 2025 (three-time 9.5f to 1m4f winner) and he signed off with a good sixth in 1m6f Ascot listed race in October when set a lot to do; hood goes on and can't be ruled out on his seasonal return. |
6/1 |
|
2 (6) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Moving up to 1m4f brought handicap wins at Newbury (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) and Newcastle (AW; impressive) this summer; creditable third in hat-trick bid in a strong handicap at Haydock (1m6f) four weeks ago; needs to resume his improvement but has a place chance. |
14/1 |

2 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Improved for the step up to 1m4f to win at Newbury in June (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) and subsequently demolished what looked a competitive Racing League handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, AW); hit with 11lb rise for last time but could take it in his stride over a trip that promises to suit. |

Form subsided slightly on final 2025 starts but now 2lb lower than his Carlisle win (1m, soft; acts on good) last June and he ran well for a long way in a strong Newbury handicap last month; may not be far away. |

9st 10lb |
Two front-running wins on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m and 1m1f) early in 2026; no impact behind Candonomore back on turf at Bath last time, when regular blinkers were left off, as today; likely other days. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistency seems far less evident in the last year or so but one trend has developed, as he's 3-13 on AW compared to 0-11 on turf; AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call here. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dead-heated off 1lb higher at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last April but he's not easy to predict and has finished down the field in his last four starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but others are more convincing. |
5/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

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 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |

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 |

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. |

25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

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. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden; two respectable efforts on soft at about 1m across August and September but he was beaten a long way a fortnight ago and that was the third time this season he's suffered a heavy defeat on good ground; cheekpieces removed for this AW debut. |
