16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Two disappointing runs before a much more competitive show, still below form, when fifth of ten off this reduced mark in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot eight days ago; still needs to perk up somewhat but this is a drop back in class. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
The initial positive reaction to a visor soon wore thin and he beat only one home at Newmarket last time (1m6f) with no headgear (as today); has dropped to a dangerous mark but with some major questions to answer. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off last term with a win at Haydock (1m6f, good) on the only time he's worn cheekpieces; overcame trouble at Hamilton (1m5f) on reappearance and although it was hard work when he plugged on from the rear to be sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm; 9-4 favourite) it was his best performance on the figures and gave encouragement for 2m+; cheekpieces return. |
3/1 |

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. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 0-6 on Flat and 0-4 over hurdles but has largely consistent form, creditable third over C&D most recently; this race is of a similar standard; again has place claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; not beaten all that far in two of his three races over hurdles, latterly at Bangor in this new headgear combination; should have some role to play. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; encouraging third on hurdling/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he failed to build on that when a remote fourth at Hexham (2m, good); has something to prove after that and this looks tough on the figures; equipment returns including a first-time tongue-tie. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |

Soft-ground win (1m4f) for Ed Walker last summer; two heavy defeats for new stable this summer and may need more weight off her back. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A fair 1m4f winner for Ed Walker in 2025; off ten months and failed to beat a rival on her yard debut in 1m5f handicap here four weeks ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made winning handicap debut for Ed Walker at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) last summer but was sold for 13,000gns after a lesser effort in September and this stable debut comes after a 292-day break; market may guide. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all twice last season, latterly in good style over 1m6f here (heavy) in September; just 1lb higher today after lesser shows this term but the latest was a step back in the right direction and he stays 2m; case can be made. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win by 5l on heavy ground here (1m6f) in September and will warrant consideration if conditions become similarly testing today but his seasonal debut was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon. |

10st 9lb |
Progressive at ordinary level on the Flat last year, winning at Kempton (2m, AW) in October; however, well beaten on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and needs to be a different proposition today. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only made his debut in April and ran his best race yet when beaten less than a length into second of nine over C&D last month; just 1lb higher and remains open to further progress as a stayer; shortlisted. |

2nd 7 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Disappointing start to his handicap career with cheekpieces added when last of seven at Ffos Las (1m4f) five weeks ago; the headgear is quickly discarded now stepping up significantly in trip. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive maiden under both codes for four yards (trainer also saddles Tenadaay, who looks his best chance); hard to make a case for her back in the cheekpieces. |
50/1 |

7th 4 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
With her third trainer, first run for him when 40-1 and well beaten at Kempton (2m, AW) this month; overall scores are 0-8 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles, and clearly her best Flat effort was over 2m1f last September in a first-time visor; 6lb lower today but others are still preferred. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Lightly raced 4yo who finished third of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in July, but didn't back it up at Doncaster (1m, good) later in month; cheekpieces given a go, but something to prove back up in trip. |

1-1 in bumpers and placed in two of his six starts over hurdles, a bit better than stablemate Dino Bellagio; 16l third of four in maiden at Hamilton (1m3f, good to firm; 40-1) two weeks ago was not such a good start under Flat rules, though. |
