9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Came up well short at Group level last summer but resumed his progression back in calmer waters with a 1m4f Newbury handicap debut success (good to firm) last August; this low-mileage sort has the potential for better again in 2026. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
First three runs were in maidens and he made all at Chester (1m4f, good) in May; the Derby proved far too tough for him next time and so did 1m6f Group 2 at Royal Ascot 11 days later; his sights are lowered dramatically for this handicap debut and he needs a close look. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
First three runs were in maidens and he made all at Chester (1m4f, good); the Derby proved far too tough for him only 11 days ago and he was so comprehensively out of his comfort zone that this race too looks hard. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Best effort when winning Goodwood handicap (1m4f, good) in May; respectable third in C&D Listed race two weeks ago, racing freely and finding no extra; may not have reached her ceiling just yet and she's high on the list. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Posted her first triple-digit RPR when landing 1m4f Goodwood handicap (good) on seasonal return; the form of that race was boosted by the runner-up winning a Listed race next time but she couldn't uphold it herself when behind a few of these in Pontefract Listed event four weeks ago, although the way she weakened quickly late on suggests something may not have been right. |
8/1 |

7th 9 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Prevailed in Class 3 handicap at Goodwood (1m4f) on seasonal debut, making it four wins from her last seven starts and breaking into triple-digit RPR territory; this improving filly figures highly in calculations. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run respectably on his three starts since; this is less competitive than those last three outings and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |
|
9th 6 (15) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins in last year's 3yo campaign (good/soft), two of them here (1m4f/1m6f); his form has gone the wrong way this season but he hasn't run badly off a reduced mark on his last two outings and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces and/or the return to Haydock will elicit a bigger effort today. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Two disappointing runs before a much more competitive show, still below form, when fifth of ten off this reduced mark in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot eight days ago; still needs to perk up somewhat but this is a drop back in class. |
9/2 |

5th 9 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
The initial positive reaction to a visor soon wore thin and he beat only one home at Newmarket last time (1m6f) with no headgear (as today); has dropped to a dangerous mark but with some major questions to answer. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all for hurdling starts for Daniel Steele this year, the latest his handicap debut in June, but showed significant ability on the Flat for Andrew Balding beforehand and is worth a glance in the betting before debut for latest stable. |
14/1 |

6th 12 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Well beaten in three starts for new stable in early part of this year and also struggled when back on the Flat last month; makes handicap hurdle debut off a lowly mark and with cheekpieces refitted, but has quite a lot to prove. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three starts, gelded before showing greatly improved form to win 12-runner maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) one month ago; asserted late on and in good style, suggesting that this longer trip can suit on handicap debut. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (8) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
140,000gns yearling; well-held third on Goodwood debut (1m1f, heavy) last October and was last of six when favourite on his Chester reappearance (1m4f, good) last month; may not have handled that track but he's been gelded since but needs a more dynamic effort on this drop back in trip. |

pressed winner, in touch with leaders after 4f, headway over 2f out, edged left and weakened inside final furlong |
