4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reasonably consistent, including at Listed/Group level, until running poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; perhaps best watched as he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Successful at Haydock in sole handicap attempt then ran well behind a notable rival in Group 3 at same venue; no further progress in three runs since but he is proving reasonably consistent and returns to handicap level with Toby Moore taking off a useful 7lb; could go well. |

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. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his 2025 novice win over 1m2f but coped well with the return to 1m at Newbury (good to firm) most recently, comfortably making all and giving the impression he'll be as effective dropped back even further in trip; low-mileage 4yo who is improving and is by a sire whose biggest moment came on the straight track at Ascot, for this stable; major claims. |

1st 3 (7) |
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. |

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 |
|
4 (4) |
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. |

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. |

8st 4lb |
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. |
