18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Still unexposed after only four starts but was a well-beaten 100-1 shot after blowing the start on recent stable/handicap debut at Lingfield (1m); upped in trip with cheekpieces added here; tongue-tie removed. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Down the field in three qualifying runs over 7f/1m on turf/AW for Marcus Tregoning; sold for 1,500gns in July; has a tongue-tie added now handicapping for new yard; probably best watched. |
25/1 |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
40-1 when eighth of ten at Salisbury (7f, good) last July; not seen again until Kempton (7f, AW; 100-1) 12 days ago when the deficit was roughly halved but he still finished only eight of nine; major work to do. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f, the most recent at Salisbury (good) in October off a 1lb lower mark than today's, but he went over today's trip at Goodwood (soft) last month; likely has quicker ground conditions today but has good claims. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His two wins have come over 6f but he is fully effective over this extra furlong; back to his last winning mark and he will be a danger to all if the ground is suitable (well beaten in one run on slower than good). |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Gelded and off six months before a never-dangerous fourth of five in 6f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; this dual 6f winner in 2025 can take a step forward now. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive sort who won over 7f at Kempton on reappearance and ran respectably on handicap debut (1m) last time; switches to turf for the first time but open to improvement and should go well. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
$210,000 yearling; made a successful return from 209 days off in a slowly run Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last month; open to further progress now making his handicap debut; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
$210,000 yearling; ran green when fifth on Wolverhampton debut last October and he built on that with a promising third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 24 days later; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on return. |

Ten-race maiden; creditable fifth of seven in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth last time (1m, good to firm); headgear retained; each-way chance. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden; placed in a maiden at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last June but he's been well held in seven starts since; failed to beat a rival over 1m2f last time and blinkers are now tried. |
7/1 |

10th 10 (5) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-8; placed in a maiden here last June but he's been well held in six starts since, five of which were handicaps; steps up in trip with better needed; others preferred. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkers did the trick when winning a Tapeta handicap for Roger Varian last autumn and he made it 2-2 in headgear off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft; cheekpieces) early in the month; been taken out on account of good to firm going before; player otherwise. |
9/4 |

1st 4 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off for Roger Varian with a victory at Newcastle (1m AW) in first-time blinkers; shaped okay on yard debut when in no headgear at Kempton (1m) and could be a factor now tried in cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended his time with Roger Varian with success at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta; first-time blinkers, now removed) in October; changed hands for 22,000gns soon afterwards; market useful on stable debut after 195 days off. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has lacked consistency for current stable but is only 1lb higher than when recording an account-opening success on AW in December; fighting chance provided he's back in similar form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when winning a 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; not so good twice in January and now returns from an 11-week break; Oisin Murphy booked so a better showing would seem likely. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (6) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when justifying support at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) last month; didn't fire back at that track three weeks ago but his penultimate form has worked out well and he's a player if he can get back near that level. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft) in September and followed up at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; held up for both and finished powerfully to be well on top; has just a 6lb penalty (due to go up another 4lb) and that gives her an excellent chance. |
2/1 |
|
1st 10 (12) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Built upon previous promise (7f/1m, AW/good) to win by 2l on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft) last month; finished powerfully and this unexposed 3yo could take a 6lb rise in her stride, upped in trip for her top yard. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Similar level of form in three novice/maiden runs (7f-8.3.f); needs improvement to make winning handicap debut but her pedigree strongly suggests there should be more to come and she represents a top stable; interesting. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Arrived following a win when a below-par fourth in this race last summer; always travelling well when winning at Chepstow 12 days ago, however, and she sneaks in here on the ceiling mark having been put up 2lb; player from a handy draw. |
11/10 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lost her way last year after a Yarmouth win (good) off 2lb lower; fair comeback on Tapeta last month was more like it, when staying on over 7f, and she holds decent claims (taken out recently on account of soft ground). |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; not as effective on turf and was completely tailed off in 1m Curragh handicap (good) on Sunday; eased in grade but others preferred. |
25/1 |

19th 11 (17) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; needs to step up on the form of her Leopardstown run last month; stable's Summer Island is probably more progressive, |
16/1 |
|
6th 11 (14) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; tailed off the following month off 7lb higher; good second in a claimer last time when conceding weight to better-rated rivals; capable at her best. |
