3rd 8 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held by Wise Approach on Group 1 Middle Park running (6f) but otherwise proved a useful and consistent sprinter last term, winning at Royal Ascot (Listed) and making the frame in several other notable races; solid claims, assuming he has trained on. |
12/1 |
|
5 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Windsor Castle winner who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Flying Childers (5f, good; Group 2) at Doncaster most recently, taking record to 121234; very likely to give his running but has seemingly reached his ceiling (form has levelled off). |

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; Windsor Castle winner (5f) who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Richmond at Goodwood (6f) most recently, taking form figures to 12123; again in the mix. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (6f, good) last May; struggled on his last few starts for that stable and he's not threatened in his two outings since joining this yard; dropped another 3lb. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf. |
4/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Faced some stiff tasks as a 2yo after winning a Newmarket novice last May (6f, good); not on a bad mark on his best efforts now starting out for John Butler (sold out of Richard Hannon's stable for 20,000gns last October); has been gelded; betting to guide. |

Good-ground novice winner last year; not her first placing in handicap company when a close third at Bath two weeks ago after 142 days off; possibilities. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in a 5f Lingfield novice (good) last May; reached the frame in a couple of handicaps since but she's been hard to predict and was last of seven in her final run (6f, AW) last year; record is now 1-11 and comes with risks attached on her return; visor worn last time is removed. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All starts on good; beaten under 3l by subsequent Windsor Castle winner on 5f debut last May then finished third to subsequent Chesham winner at Newbury (6f) a fortnight later; latter event worked out extremely well so disappointing he couldn't get the job done at Bath (odds-on) the following month; not seen since but good chance of making a successful handicap debut/reappearance if ready and tapping back into that initial promise. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (9) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Out of a Queen Mary winner for his connections; showed ability when fourth at Goodwood (5f; has produced winners) on debut and stepped up on that when third at Newbury (6f, also good) three weeks ago; latter race is working out strongly and he holds clear claims. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 13 (10) |

Out of a Queen Mary winner for his connections; showed ability with his fourth-place finish at Goodwood (5f) while shaping as if this longer trip will suit; jointly sets the standard with stablemate French Affair. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade. |

11th 12 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Ran 12 times as a 2yo, winning three times; the ground may have been too soft when down the field at Newbury on his final run last year but likely a few of these will have his measure. |
33/1 |
|
3 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Admirably consistent gelding who is thriving on his racing, proving better than ever when seeing off five rivals in 6f Nottingham nursery (good to soft) 23 days ago; should give another good account. |

8st 10lb |
All three races have been over 5f on good or good to firm; raced freely, made most and faded on first two starts, here on second occasion; then met traffic problems when trying to come from the rear on latest outing; however, she's now dropped in class and does have some ability. |

8th 13 (6) |
17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Earthlight filly has gone too freely and failed to last home in a pair of 5f novices at Bath and Goodwood this spring; she's capable of better if becoming more tractable. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Effective on fast and soft ground; inconsistent seven-race maiden but he's had three close calls including when front-running in a maiden at Bath (5.6f) last month; on reduced mark now back in a nursery and he could make another bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
6 (9) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in the Brocklesby (5f, good to soft) on his debut and ran well for second on his nursery debut at York in July (6f, good to firm; first run after a gelding operation); not so good on his last two starts but this is much weaker and he has to be high on the list. |
2/1 |
|
10 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beaten a nose in the Brocklesby in March (5f, good to soft) and tapped back into that promise when close second on nursery debut at York (6f, good to firm); however, this is a hotter contest and he failed to shine in the Super Sprint two weeks ago (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained). |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won 5f novice events at Carlisle and Newcastle this summer before a fine third in the Super Sprint at Newbury (5f, good); highly tried since and today's return to 5f should be in his favour; not ruled out now making his nursery debut. |
5/1 |
|
6 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Ran well in the Super Sprint at Newbury during his spell over 5f; not disgraced when favourite for 6f sales race at Newmarket (good to firm) most recently, albeit failed to improve for the new trip. |
16/1 |
|
1 (20) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Found himself isolated from the main action when disappointing in a Group 3 at Goodwood; had been nicely progressive and was conceding weight to the front two (including Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane) when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury despite losing his focus and wandering when hitting the front; strong chance, provided he gets home over 6f (kept to 5f thus far). |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Record is just 1-9 but she gained the win (6f, turf) off current mark; should be competitive if taking well to first-time headgear. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Catterick nursery (6f, good to soft) in July; not seen to quite the same effect in three subsequent runs but she chased home an improver here (5.3f) last time and this return to slower ground looks a positive; in the mix back up in trip. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Struggled in three novice/maiden events before finishing last of 13 in a Chester seller (7f, good) in June; left Hugo Palmer for 1,000gns since; has lots to prove now upped to 1m and can only be watched on nursery/stable debut; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

No problem with the longer trip when third of ten at Lingfield (6f, AW) four weeks ago, but still needs to show she is capable of comparative form on turf. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Yet to kick on from her Wolverhampton third last September (5f) but she wasn't able to show what she could do at Nottingham on her recent return, having nowhere to go as the race was unfolding; steps up to 6f and remains capable of better. |

Promising third on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last September but didn't replicate that in a similar race in November; still early days on this return to turf and may have more to give. |

Ran well in the Super Sprint; comfortably held in the face of a stiffer task in the Gimcrack upped to 6f since and this is an easier assignment; still unproven beyond 5f, however. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Fairly useful over 5f and ran creditably in the Super Sprint at Newbury most recently; however, he looks a fair way below Gimcrack standard and doesn't seem to be crying out for the extra furlong yet. |

Mid-field in Norfolk at Royal Ascot before readily landing the odds in maiden at Windsor (5f, good to firm) later in June; has a bit to find with some of these but he's going the right way and impossible to discount. |
