9th 10 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Respectable third to Goblet Of Fire on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May in a first-time visor; perhaps any beneficial effect from the headgear has worn off, as he ran poorly on latest start, but he is now 1lb below his last winning mark (from last July) and the visor is removed. |

11th 8 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good third in first-time visor (retained since) at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month and again ran well at Thirsk (2m, good) last time, when outstayed; last win came on soft ground last July; he's one to consider. |

5th 3 (11) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won two 1m6f handicaps last term; back-to-form third with a first-time visor at Newmarket (1m6f) four weeks ago, so he re-enters calculations despite earlier lesser efforts over 2m2f and 2m. |

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. |

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. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; perfectly satisfactory start over hurdles when third at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) six weeks ago, keeping on from midfield; open to improvement and high on the list. |

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. |
8/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in June and ran pretty well when 3l third of six at Bath (11.6f, heavy) three weeks ago; has raced only five times and further improvement is possible, but necessary today. |
12/1 |

3rd 7 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in June, leading over 1f out and drawing clear to justify favouritism; up 9lb but probably remains capable of better. |

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. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who made all in Flat handicaps on Tapeta (1m6f) and turf (2m, heavy) in the second half of last year; ended last season on a low note but he still has scope for further progress and needs watching in market on his return. |

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. |

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

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |

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. |
