28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Not disgraced in last year's Northern Dancer over C&D (good; likely softer) on sole start here; also won twice at Ascot (good to firm) last term; back to form on last two starts, latterly when beaten 2l at Musselburgh (also 1m4f, good) on Sunday; should make his presence felt. |

Won off just 1lb lower at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last August, his second win there last year; 0-12 on AW but close third on latest start (first with tongue tied) was up with his best form; should go well. |

Won a heavy-ground 1m maiden at Leopardstown in 2023 for Aidan O'Brien; failed to add to his tally for Archie Watson and three maiden hurdle runs since December poor; hard to make a case for entering handicaps but market worth a look. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
0-10 in handicaps; twice third over 1m4f at Ascot this year but last two efforts have been below par; dropped another 3lb but it's not enough to tempt. |
9/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-9 in handicaps; best form when second in the closing 1m2f race on this card last year; some respectable shows over 1m4f too, including with first-time blinkers (kept since) on penultimate start; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in a Shergar Cup race and not beaten far but others have more pressing claims. |
9/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 in handicaps; easily his best 2025 efforts were two thirds over C&D on good to firm, including when on the heels of Night Breeze on latest start, wearing first-time blinkers, but he needs to find extra. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best, superior to stablemate Ribba Hill; ridden out to win at Taunton (2m, good) after a break and the winner got away from him (he was beaten 12l) when he was penalised here over 2m4f; can be given another chance despite another 2lb, especially back in trip. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best; didn't show much in first four hurdle runs but he really got his act together when landing a gamble in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last Tuesday; has a penalty but that was a convincing win and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best but lost his way in that scene last May/June and has made a quiet start over hurdles; 33-1 and upped to 2m5f when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut last time. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won Haydock maiden (11.6f, good to firm) last June on third start and fair third of six in Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) next time; returned from absence with respectable fifth at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month, when the steady pace was against him; retains potential and not discounted. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Strong late bid to justify odds of 4-9 in a maiden at Haydock (11.5f, good to firm) last June; that was in between two good efforts, albeit wandering when third of six on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f, good) in July latest; gelded this March; after just four races, may have more to offer. |

9st 12lb |
Landed the odds with a 9l win in C&D maiden (good to firm) last July; 0-5 in handicaps since but he hasn't had the best of luck at times and was only beaten around 2l at Kempton (1m4f) last month; continues to edge down the weights and he's not ruled out back on turf; cheekpieces added. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well last season, including a win over 1m4f in April but he was best later on at about 2m (including at York); reappearance this term was pretty encouraging, considering it was over just 1m2f, and he looks a serious each-way contender. |
14/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well for his new yard last season, winning twice (1m4f/2m, good to firm); his current mark maybe isn't beyond him but he's never run over a trip this short and he's probably vulnerable on his reappearance. |
12/1 |
|
10 (3) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Regular improvement for new yard, including a win at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (2m, good to firm) in August and going oh so close off this mark in three-way photo at York (2m, good) on latest outing; he's well handicapped and, with a good chance that 2m2f will help with further progress, another bold show should be on its way. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won two AW novice races in March; only eighth of ten on his turf/handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month but he was made favourite for the fourth time in four races when running better at Kempton (1m4f, AW) 18 days later, albeit in only fifth of 13; dropped just 1lb; still has potential but he can go freely and has been a work in progress. |

Got off to a good start when winning Tapeta novices at Southwell (1m3f) and Newcastle (1m4f) in March, but disappointed on his turf/handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) this month (missed break/pulled too hard); has a bit to prove but a major player if resuming his progress. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flat and hurdles winner but already a far superior chaser; jumped well in front (although sometimes to the right) when completing a handicap hat-trick at Doncaster (2m, soft) six weeks ago by 17l; firmly on the up and deserves his chance in this higher grade. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner but he's looking a far superior chaser; bumped into a very smart novice on his chase debut and has since won two handicaps, the latest over C&D by some 8l (soft); an 8lb rise could have been worse for one firmly on the upgrade. |
7/4 |

1st 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; very solid form at Newbury (2m, good to soft) since switched to fences, finishing a good second (behind subsequent Grade 2 scorer) prior to going one better in a race that is working out nicely; may well have more to offer in this sphere and warrants major respect. |
