3rd 2 (8) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner signed off last season with excellent placed efforts in a Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) and a Listed event at Craon (1m, very soft); not disgraced behind Docklands in Listed Doncaster Mile on seasonal return; sharper for that and this British raider is respected. |

3rd 2 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins from his first five starts before finishing second on final two runs last season at Haydock (1m Group 3, good) and Craon (1m Listed, very soft); he has something to find today but this lightly raced 4yo is open to further improvement this term and could give a good account. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Took his record to 3-5 when producing a smart handicap performance over 7f here four weeks ago; only sixth in a Chester Listed race prior to that but that probably shouldn't be taken to suggest he can't make an impact at a higher level; all turf starts on good. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Windsor last June; gelded prior to finishing second on his reappearance/handicap debut 11 days ago (1m2f, good to soft), pulling clear with the winner having travelled strongly; a 3lb rise won't help but he isn't fully exposed and returning to 1m shouldn't be an issue. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; frequently up against subsequently much higher-rated rivals when in the frame first four starts then justified short odds when comfortably making all in Windsor novice (good to firm) upped to this trip in June; didn't look entirely straightforward that day so subsequent gelding operation may have sharpened his pencil and he's of obvious interest on this reappearance/handicap debut. |
10/11 |

1st 2 (3) |
16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten favourite over 1m at Nottingham and Chelmsford (AW) last month but continues to show consistent form (record reads 4323); good chance in this field, provided he stays the new trip. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed 3yo who won on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has been knocking on the door in both runs since; up another 2lb but she was only beaten a nose at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and is open to more progress; key player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won readily by 5l on last month's handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and might have been a shade unlucky not to folliow up here (1m, good to firm) three weeks later; moves up in trip today and could still have lots more to offer; good chance. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful pedigree (bred to stay 1m2f) and she's been a big improver from a very low starting point; hooded on last two outings, last time always front rank when justifying 6-5 favouritism by 5l in a six-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) on handicap debut; up 10lb and probably has more to give. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Promising third on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m5f, AW) in July but he's struggled in three subsequent runs; dropped another 3lb but he needs a major revival in first-time blinkers. |
20/1 |

5 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His third to progressive pair Deep Water Bay and Belgravian over 13.5f at Chelmsford reads very well (the fourth also won a hurdle next time); two lesser runs have followed but major player if first-time cheekpieces help him to recapture the Chelmsford form. |
4/1 |

8 (6) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Unexposed; below par at Yarmouth last time (1m6f, good to soft) having turned in a career best when third to two progressive sorts (both have won twice since) on handicap debut at Chelmsford (13.5f, AW); player. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-race maiden who has failed to back up debut effort; never figured in C&D handicap most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
14/1 |
|
9 (7) |
14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fair form at Newbury (1m, good) in April on debut but soundly beaten both starts since, 20-1 at Sandown last time when trying 1m2f (there are stamina influences in his pedigree); unconvincing for this handicap debut but it's a bit too early for the debut run to be forgotten. |

4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved since being fitted with a tongue-tie on his last two starts and got off the mark at Catterick (1m4f, soft) last month; it remains to be seen if he can follow up on forecast quicker ground but he is at the right end of the handicap to progress. |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D maiden third in April (good to firm; RPR 61) remains his best effort, though neared it in a newly fitted tongue-tie (retained) at Ripon latest; effectiveness on ground slower than good taken on trust. |
13/2 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Promising third at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) in April on second start but down the field in both handicaps (1m6f, good to firm) and a much bigger performance is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |

9st 4lb |
Attracted strong support on his debut in a valuable novice at Kempton (1m, AW) in October but beat only one home; plenty went wrong that day but he returned with a heavy defeat at Nottingham (1m, good; 14-1) one month ago. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Favourite for handicap debut over C&D (good) in July and duly showed vastly better form, getting on top in a sustained duel with the second; 10-11 at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and, although he took some pushing, he was comfortably on top through the final 1f; raised another 4lb but may well have more to give. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Quiet maiden runs at about 1m but went off favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (1m2f, good) and got the better of a sustained duel with the second (pair clear); raised 7lb but that might not be the end of the world. |
6/4 |

3 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Modest efforts to date, last two with a hood (left off here); step up to 1m2f should suit and he's an unexposed sort who can improve on handicap debut. |

Out the back in three maiden/novice runs over further but the last two runs haven't been devoid of promise; faces a more realistic challenge now handicapping, even from 3lb wrong; stable on a seven-month losing run but he needs a market check. |

Out of a well-related 8.5f winner but he's been tailed off in two runs at around 1m for Harry Charlton this spring; hood worn last time is now removed and he needs a transformation dropped in trip for new yard. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Pulled hard in three novice runs over 7f/1m; fitted with a hood and dropped to 6f for his handicap debut at Carlisle three weeks ago, a race where he settled better than had been the case and made some good late ground in the straight; still has some potential upside and he's more interesting than many of these. |
