20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Never figured at Royal Ascot then looked a non-stayer over 1m6f in the Ebor; returns to calmer waters and drops back in trip, so may tap back into earlier progress (AW/turf) that produced form figures of 1211. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made debut at the end of 2024; won three of his first four starts, on last occasion a 12-runner handicap here (1m4f, good to firm) in May when he led over 2f out and narrowly saw off Stressfree; had been racing freely and prominently, so the widest draw at Royal Ascot (1m4f; just 7-1) posed a challenge but he didn't really fire behind Ethical Diamond; he was shaping up to be a serious talent before that and has now been gelded. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Not seen on a racecourse until the end of 2024 but he's now won three of his four starts; first three races were tight finishes on AW when trained by Charlie Fellowes; debut for this yard came in 12-runner handicap at York (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago when he narrowly saw off the challenge of Stressfree; up another 5lb today and has joined Wathnan Racing for their big meeting; has been racing freely and prominently, so perhaps the widest draw today will pose a challenge, but he's shaping up to be a serious talent. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten a head in this race last year and fourth of 22 here in the Ebor in August; began 2026 with another solid effort, when second at Ripon; not a prolific winner with his waiting tactics but big each-way chance. |

2nd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |

Smart handicapper who won at Haydock (1m4f, good) off 4lb lower last May and recorded several good efforts in defeat later in 2025; has gone well fresh before. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Likeable hold-up performer who has run crackers in top handicaps over 1m6f on last two starts, fourth of 22 in the Ebor at York (good to firm) before third of 14 to The Reverend (Dramatic Star second) in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock (good); all ground seems to come alike; each-way claims again. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Third in this race last year off 11lb lower; competitive almost every time last season, ending on a major high with 4l win at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; however, there have been a couple of blips and last month's poor show in Listed race at Kempton was one of those; needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won twice last year, the latest a handicap at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; never out of the first two in five completed starts on the AW, but not seen in nine months and there has to be a doubt over the suitability of a sharp 1m2f like this for him now. |
11/2 |

1st 5 (6) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |

Lightly raced 4yo who was progressive on AW prior to a blip at Newcastle in April, and he bounced back from that when third at York (1m4f, good to firm) in May; now 8lb better off with York runner-up Stressfree (who won next time) and he could be involved. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |
33/1 |

5th 5 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In the form of his life this winter with a win at Lingfield (1m4f) in February and close calls in his other three outings; those were on AW, which does seem to suit him particularly well, and also in handicaps, which leaves him with something to find in his first Group venture. |
40/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in this last year on sole previous visit to Newcastle and he's now 3lb higher; went close on first two starts this winter before winning at Lingfield (1m4f) in February; could run well but may prefer a longer trip. |

1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Gained a fourth Flat win with a hard-earned success in the 1m6f Old Borough Cup at Haydock last September; stamped himself as a useful recruit to hurdling when scoring at Cork last month. |

1st 6 (7) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked one to follow when impressive on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, soft) last September; failed to kick on from that initially but got back on track with convincing win in small field at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in July; could have more to offer for top yard now things have clicked again, especially now back up in trip, and he's not necessarily a soft-ground specialist. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Looked potentially smart when smooth winner on 1m4f Ascot handicap debut (soft) last September in first-time cheekpieces; hasn't progressed as might have been expected in three subsequent runs (favourite each time) but not disgraced either and may have found good to firm ground too lively (raced on softer than good otherwise) when fifth of 12 in a York Dante meeting handicap on reappearance (no headgear); still has time on his side and a potential class act giving weight away to lesser opposition in refitted cheekpieces. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Performed well twice over C&D last term but had the run of the race when belying his 33-1 odds for neck success at Listed level in September (good to soft) and looks no certainty to defy a 3lb penalty back here, unless things again fall his way. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has raced as far as 2m1f in 2024 and never shorter than 1m2f; third at last year's Royal Ascot came over 1m4f but he broke a losing sequence when diverted from top handicaps to a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood last September; the prospect of 1m now doesn't seem so ridiculous but a career best is needed. |
16/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
On a two-year losing spell and is 0-6 for current yard; still capable of very useful form, having been placed in handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood this summer; however, this seems a harder task. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |

4th 6 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run now up to 14, but his last couple of efforts have been encouraging as when second of six in a slightly stronger contest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; still on his last winning mark and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Drew a blank in 2025 but he ended that campaign with a good second in a big-field 10.2f handicap at York; two respectable AW runs this year but he will need to raise his game to take this. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Second at this meeting in 2024 but only eighth in this race last year; had an excellent autumn on AW and won again in January, but he's struggled to make an impact in recent AW starts and his record is a lot stronger at up to 1m3f than at about 1m4f. |
33/1 |
|
14th 3 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's never won off a mark this high and he needs to produce more than he's managed at Kempton and Lingfield on his last three starts; however, before those he won a 13-runner handicap over C&D with something to spare and the return to Newcastle could be in his favour; not ruled out each-way. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely disappointing for this stable under both codes and, after a brief respite on the Flat at Newbury in April, he refused to come out of the stalls at York last month, both times in this headgear; best hurdle effort when runner-up at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in October offers some hope on handicap switch, but current form is a clear concern. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Formerly useful for Kevin Ryan but was sold last July and has been comfortably held since on the Flat and over hurdles; this tongue-tie (tried once in 2023) returned on latest outing, along with first-time hood; 17lb below his peak mark, but no win since he scored twice at York in 2023. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Usually ridden patiently at about 1m4f in recent times but he made the running when fourth of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (good) last July, on most recent attempt at 1m2f (off this mark); found wanting since a convincing winner at Meydan in March and needs more for the now-rare 1m2f run. |

Triple Group 3 winner at 1m (good and soft) on the continent in 2022 and 2023; mixed over the last 12 months, with a much closer finish again last time but that was when finishing just seventh of eight; well handicapped judged on Meydan placed efforts at 1m1f and 1m4f early this year. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |

Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |
