6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Showed a resurgence in his form at Lingfield (AW) seasonal debut; did well on turf (6f/7f, good/good to firm) last May/June, winning three times, and looks interesting off a workable mark returned to this sphere. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well at Kempton in sole 6f AW run (as 2yo) but proved a far better 3yo, winning three of his first four turf starts, over 6f and 7f; his form deserted him later but he returns to action only just above his latest winning mark last June; interesting. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win to his name after 16 starts; made quite an encouraging return from a short break when fourth at Lingfield in January but disappointed back there since (both 7f). |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Just one win to his name after 15 starts; has some strong handicap form but he finished behind Tiger Crusade over C&D last month and the headgear experiment is now aborted. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Went without a win in 2025 but he's a reliable sort and posted a good fourth of 14 in 7f Kempton handicap in November; has gone well fresh so he's much respected after a break. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-14 since debut win in May 2024 but he often ran well in some quality handicaps last season; returns on a competitive mark having had wind surgery; could have a part to play if fully tuned up. |
12/1 |
|

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |

Placed four times for current stable and last two efforts can be forgiven (raced in the most disadvantaged group in Ayr Gold Cup latest); record of 0-12 since debut win is the downside. |
14/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Not added to his debut win but he has been placed on four occasions this season; got messed about early when down the field at York four weeks ago; cheekpieces now tried; stable looks to have stronger claims elsewhere. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
She's been a promising fourth on two of her three starts this season, at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and here (7f, good) a fortnight ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); might not be far away. |
11/1 |

4th 6 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

12/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
0-13 since her successful racecourse debut albeit highly tried on occasions, but she made a fine return when fourth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago and that form has already received a boost; well drawn and a big player from the same mark; stable also runs Callianassa. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a six-time winner (from 5f to 7f); ended up with a lot to do when good third of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago so he's a player off an unchanged mark. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won six races at 5f-7f between January and May 2025 but off after a lesser effort in July and down the field here on his return in April; has gone close over the extended 7f at Beverley so should stay an easy 1m if back to full strength but others look stronger for the win. |
20/1 |
|
11th 4 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Six wins in the first half of 2025, notably when seeing off 21 rivals at York last May; absent for nine months but Paul Mulrennan has been booked for his return (two wins and two seconds from five rides on him) and this should be run to suit. |

Good second at Thirsk on his seasonal return last month; sent off favourite at Ayr on the strength of it but could only manage sixth of the seven runners behind Starliner (Donna Nook second); cheekpieces return. |
4/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate is only 1-16 but he gained the win at Ayr and returns here off an attractive mark (peak one was 15lb higher); ran encouragingly at Thirsk (1m, good; 1l second) most recently, proving suited by the switch back to turf from AW. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Yet to add to his 2yo novice win but is down to a mark in the 60s for the first time now back on the grass after a two-month break; a return to form wouldn't surprise. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won 6f novice at Goodwood last May in good style; 11 months off before hard-fought win at Wolverhampton in April; only seventh on his handicap debut at York Dante meeting (7f, good to firm) but he travelled well before meeting trouble at a crucial stage; returning to 6f could spark further progress. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Truncated 2yo campaign featured a Goodwood win (6f, good); narrowly defied a penalty in Wolverhampton novice event (7f, AW) on reappearance, taking form figures to 211; ties in with Jolly Roger on that running; still open to further progress and is one for the shortlist. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Record is only 1-14 but he's attractively treated and proved resurgent with rallying fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third start for new yard; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |
10/1 |

11th 8 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way. |

11th 2 (15) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins and most of his best RPRs have come on AW but his turf runs have come in stronger company than this; drops to 5f for the first time in his career; others look safer. |

6th 1 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Comfortable winner of a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last December, but had a nightmare passage on handicap/turf debut at York (7f, good to firm) in May; returns from 166 days off having been gelded; worth a second look. |

Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in the autumn; faded as if needing his reappearance back here 17 days ago and ought to be sharper now. |

Won two of his first three starts, including a C&D nursery off 8lb higher, but the handicapper was in command for much of 2025; creditable third to Fortamour at Newcastle when last seen 145 days ago but he has more on his plate in this deeper race. |
