4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden and front-running handicap winner last spring, who found her one Group and two Listed assignments much harder afterwards but those were her best form; all those were at about 1m4f but her second from off the pace at Toulouse on final outing gave hope for this longer trip; improvement needed. |
12/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Had 1m4f wins in the spring in a maiden at Southwell (AW) and handicap at Chester (good); 11-1 for Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) two months ago, racing a bit freely and never threatening in seventh of 11 but that is her best form; might still be able to build on that. |
8/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beat Caspi Star to win maiden at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March on third start and followed up on handicap debut at Chester (12.2f, good) last month, when clear with the runner-up; this is a big step up in grade but she's just the type her trainer excels with and she could have lots more to offer. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Prevailed in second-time hood at Taunton (2m, good) most recently, adding to his Flat win, and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; in deeper waters today but could go well. |
16/1 |

1st 11 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won a Goodwood maiden for Andrew Balding in June (1m6f, good to firm); improved on first hurdles run when neck second over C&D last time (heavy; hood tried); headgear retained; this faster is ground likely to suit; one with a chance. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Useful peak RPR of 94 on the Flat for Andrew Balding; ran to a fair level when last of three finishers on Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) eight weeks ago and should prove capable of better, particularly if a first-time hood helps him to settle better through the early stages than he did on that occasion. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has made incremental progress over 11 starts, overcoming a wide draw when beating 14 rivals in handicap at Chester (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; may be open to further improvement but that win came off a mark of just 80 and this is a significantly stiffer assignment. |
40/1 |
|
1st 4 (14) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice (once here) over about 1m2f last June and returned from layoff in prime form at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month, losing out only by a short head; still unexposed over 1m4f but has awkward draw. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved to win first two handicaps at about 1m2f, at Chester and Salisbury (good to firm and good), and later defeats came in higher grades than this; off since July; market can guide as to expectations today. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
11.6f and 1m6f handicap winner last year for the Gosdens; however, soundly beaten on both attempts over hurdles for new yard this spring, given wind surgery in between; player if he can tap back into those 2025 performances. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Two-time Flat winner at up to 1m6f, including on good, when with the Gosdens (RPR 87); 20-1 and never seriously involved on hurdles and stable debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month; since had wind surgery; more needed. |
10/1 |
|
8th 14 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Proved suited by the fitting of blinkers in last three Flat starts for the Gosdens, winning twice (11.5f/1m6f); removal of headgear is a possible negative but he otherwise brings potential to this code; check the betting for further guidance. |

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. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |
25/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored off 1lb lower in first-time cheekpieces at York (7f, good) last summer and is also suited by Tapeta but we haven't seen him since a low-key run on soft turf in September. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Showed promise in maiden/novice company for George Boughey, none more so than when runner-up to Michael Scofield at Southwell (1m) in March 2025; unconvincing over 1m2f-1m4f, and not yet threatened to click for Jim Goldie (0-2 since 12,000gns purchase); now on career-low mark. |
33/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Down the field for George Boughey last May/June in his first two handicaps (1m4f/1m2f) and sold for 12,000gns in July; beaten further still at Ayr (1m) in September on his only start for new yard; moves back up in trip and needs to tap back into his initial promise. |
20/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Down the field for George Boughey in May/June in his first two handicaps and changed hands for 12,000gns in July; however, this 3yo was placed in 1m maiden/novice races in the spring and can go well if tapping back into that promise now back down in trip on this stable debut. |
