27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Came in last on his first three starts for current yard but revitalised by cheekpieces when bagging 5f Ffos Las handicap 23 days ago; needs headgear to work the oracle for a second time off 7lb higher here. |

1st 7 (7) |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Changed stables last summer and it was an inauspicious start for this yard when last of nine in course nursery (good to firm) in August; subsequently gelded but again trailed the field at Bath (also 5f, firm) on his reappearance last month; plenty to prove on his first go at 6f. |

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. |

10th 3 (8) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
All 2yo races at 5f, winning a Ffos Las novice in July and taking a good step forward when blitzing his rivals in a small-field nursery at Wolverhampton in November; not been missed with an 11lb rise and he will need improvement for the sixth furlong if he is to make it 2-2 on AW. |

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. |

3rd 15 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Came with a storming run from the rear to win at 40-1 here (5f, good) last month on his stable debut, and again finished strongly when 1l fourth of 16 here (5f, good) eight days later; he could improve further for this first crack at 6f and is high on the list. |
8/1 |

4th 20 (17) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Sprang a 40-1 C&D surprise last week on first start since leaving Archie Watson, finishing fast to lead late on; now 4lb higher but he hasn't had much racing and there may be better still to come. |

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. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (1) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Nottingham novice (5f, good) in June; disappointed on his nursery debut here (6f) last month but put that right dropped back to 5f at Windsor (good to firm; Army Bugler fourth) just eight days later; respected. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Moving up to 6f did not work out on his latest outing but he'd shown plenty (without improving much) over 5f before that, including when second of five in a Sandown nursery on penultimate start; back to 5f today but could be vulnerable against less exposed rivals. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-8 but he was third of nine at Kempton (6f, AW) last October; failed to build on his stable debut when down the field at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago and cheekpieces are now reached for. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't progress in six 2yo runs for Charlie Hills and was only sixth of ten when favourite on recent stable debut at Windsor (5f, good to firm); may have needed that run but he needs to raise his game back up in trip. |

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. |
