1st 6 (7) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only two rivals in a 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield but coped well with the 4lb rise to finish close up at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); firmly enters the reckoning. |
5/1 |
|
4 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo won a 1m2f Newbury maiden and doubled his tally in a three-runner 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield 13 days ago; only 4lb higher and quite fair to factor in further improvement going forwards. |
6/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won by a head in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) in May; ran creditably on handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) next time but soundly beaten when 16-1 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on latest; against Hot Dancer, this one probably needs overall improvement. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was an eye-catching third from the rear behind Warrant Holder over C&D (good) in May on his stable/handicap debut, following a year off, and four runs later he got off the mark at Ayr (1m2f, good) last Sunday when making most of the running; back up in grade under a 5lb penalty but he may well have more left in the tank. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who shaped well with third of 14 in 1m handicap at Carlisle 11 days ago, nearest finish; bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark with this return to 1m2f a likely plus. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Promise in three starts for the Gosden stable and he caught the eye when third of 15 at York (1m2f, good) on last month's stable debut; again shaped promisingly at Hamilton (8.5f, good) next time, despite the steady gallop not suiting, but was disappointing back at York 12 days ago, albeit he may have not been helped by ending up towards the far rail; drops in grade and he's the type to bounce back if getting this run to suit. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-11 on the Flat but won his final race for Jane Chapple Hyam, over 1m2f on the AW in January; quite useful in that scene and changed hands for 82,000gns; now gelded. |
5/1 |

1st 8 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-10 but he's been runner-up on his last three starts, most recently when bumping into a subsequent winner over this C&D 28 days ago; solid claims with the cheekpieces retained. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
First foal; dam tailed off in a bumper and half-sister to winners Grand Canyon (1m1f/1m2f Flat and 2m hurdle) and Alquimia (7f/1m); wouldn't be the obvious answer to a race of this nature; stablemate Serenity Blue is far more appealing on paper. |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
450,000gns purchase, by Frankel and closely related to Arc winner Waldgeist; kept on for close fifth in Newbury maiden (1m2f; started favourite) in May and should build on that effort; respected. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
16th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

450,000gns yearling by Frankel; eighth foal; closely related to three winners including Waldgeist (1m-1m4f including Arc; RPR 128) and Waldlied (1m4f Group 2; 112), half-brother to three more including Waldkonig (8.6f-1m2f including Group 3; 116); dam 1m 2yo/10.5f Group 3 winner (106); late foal who has an Irish Derby entry; newcomer to note from stable which runs two. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who made it two wins for the year when scoring easily at Chester (10.3f, good) in May then finished second of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, albeit no match for the highly progressive winner; yard has won three of the last seven runnings and he could be a contender. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 4 (15) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Appeared to act on good to soft last term (unraced on soft); has gone from strength to strength this year, first on AW but most strikingly when returned to turf for a dominant, front-running display as 10-11 favourite in 11-runner race at Chester (1m2f, good); 9lb higher today but highly respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on the AW since returning in February, easily justifying short odds at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March; no problem with the return to turf having won over this trip at Haydock (good) last August; can take a hold, but may settle better in this big field and he remains unexposed; a player. |

6th 10 (14) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made his debut just over a year ago; firmly on the upgrade when signing off last season with a handicap win at Haydock (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) and following up on his reappearance at Hamilton (1m5f, good; no headgear) where the narrow margin of victory masked his superiority (he overcame trouble); he's up a further 8lb but the improvement could keep coming; James Doyle prefers him over Wathnan's other pair; big player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made debut last May and all six runs were on good ground; maiden winner here who was increasingly competitive coming from behind in his three handicaps, winning in first-time cheekpieces from Ride The Thunder at Haydock (1m6f) in September when last seen; up 7lb, back slightly in trip and no headgear, but he's still one to note. |
7/4 |
|
9 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Made debut in May and all five runs have been on good ground; close third on handicap debut over C&D in July (Pole Star won) and clear second at Sandown (1m6f) last time when failing to reel in the clear leader; there's a suspicion we've yet to see the best of him and his trainer has won two of the last five runnings; could have a major part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has hindered himself by taking a good hold in a couple of 2m events since handicapping; chance depends on whether he settles better. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Beaten a long way in three qualifying runs over 1m2f/1m4f in May/June, including 22l last of three at Salisbury on the final one; has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut after a 100-day break; not bred to be a stayer but is a half-brother to some useful sorts and needs a betting check in a race where nothing arrives with compelling claims. |
7/1 |
|
1 (2) |
10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Hooded for both starts to date but he still pulled hard when said to have become unbalanced early at Newbury last month; there must be a good chance he over-races again, in a small field upped in trip, and he's up against it even if settling better. |

12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

28-1, green and faded when beaten 22l in maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) 27 days ago; should improve but he's probably one for further down the line. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fair form in three of his four starts (April-June) but sported a visor then blinkers on last two occasions and now it's cheekpieces, having also been gelded; signs of some concern there from connections but he's a lightly raced handicap newcomer who probably stays 1m2f, which he's bred for. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two promising efforts from his three runs this spring, including a fifth of 15 in the Wood Ditton (1m, good) in April and a third of five behind some useful rivals at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; looks open to more progress on this drop back in trip and he's in the mix with blinkers added. |
13/2 |
|
2 (4) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Positives to take out of his never-dangerous fifth in the Wood Ditton (1m, good) but he ran miserably at Newbury (1m2f, good) and now goes in headgear; Marnier is probably the yard's main hope here. |
8/1 |
