6th 4 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to form with clear win in first-time cheekpieces here (5f, good to soft) in early June but has not quite been at the same level on his three starts since and is not yet proven over 6f; goes without headgear today; needs to up his game. |
16/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A 2l winner in the new cheekpieces at Ffos Las but hasn't kicked on; behind Moe's Legacy latest. |

9st 11lb |
Cheekpieces on for first time when doubling his tally with 5f success at Ffos Las in June but only fifth of seven in retained headgear over C&D since. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won two of his five starts as a 2yo, including a wide-margin nursery success at Wolverhampton in November; he hasn't seen his race out in two handicap runs this year (5f/6f) but he should be sharper for last month's return from a break, he represents a yard that excels with this type and he has few miles on the clock; revival not out of the question. |
25/1 |

9th 4 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Didn't see out 6f when last seen five months ago (since taken out here on account of unsuitable good to soft ground); needs to prove this mark (11lb higher than when making all in an uncompetitive AW nursery last autumn) is within range. |

4th 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Big chance on this year's best efforts but his form dipped at York in June and last week's Great St Wilfrid seventh wasn't great either; unraced on slower than good; not sure what to expect. |
9/1 |
|
7th 12 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender. |
7/1 |
|
13th 5 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has maintained his consistency by posting form figures of 143, all in sprints at York, since joining current stable; beat Stargazed by half a length on the first occasion and ran well, despite a tricky draw the way things panned out, in notable handicap most recently; very solid claims. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His nursery win came here over 5f off 2lb higher; quiet in two runs for current trainer, the latest after wind surgery and a gelding operation. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner on turf for previous yard; absent and had wind/gelding operations since below-par effort on AW last December (stable debut); the market signals may give useful extra guidance on reappearance. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11th race brought his first win, when making all from stall 5 in 11-runner race over C&D (good to firm; at 11-1) three weeks ago under Taryn Langley; back up 3lb but inconsistency is the chief worry. |
11/2 |

1st 11 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Is 0-10 and not proving easy to catch right, last of five at Brighton (5f) 20 days ago. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-9 but ran his best race this year when third of eight at Goodwood (5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); just needs a bit more to shed his maiden tag. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
190,000euros yearling; showed speed before fading into third of eight on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; that gave her something to build on and she shouldn't be far away. |
