1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-19 but has been placed ten times; returns from a break and is down to a career-low mark; hood worn on recent starts is left off; more exposed than the opposition and vulnerable to an improver. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-18 but has shown ability as when second of nine at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) ten days ago; return to this trip not a problem and he holds each-way claims again. |

2nd 1 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he got right back on track when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell handicap nine days ago, doing best of those held up off a steady pace; he's effective at this longer trip and is one for the shortlist. |

9st 4lb |
Fourth foal; half-brother to three winners for connections notably 1m2f Group 2 winner Lilac Road; bred to have a bright future but Tom Marquand rides once-raced stablemate Fan Club, who may be the yard's chief hope. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well-bred colt who kept on well for fourth of 16 on debut at Doncaster (7f, soft) in October; sat much closer to the pace before dropping out rather tamely at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago but it would be foolish to write him off after that. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9-1, kept on for encouraging fourth of 16 on debut at Doncaster (7f, soft) last October; this 260,000gns colt could have lots more to offer for his top yard and he's one to consider. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise over C&D (good to firm) on debut last May; best efforts since have come on AW, including his breakthrough success at Kempton four weeks ago (1m); up in class and back on turf but he does smack of one with a fair bit more to come. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-race maiden but he's finished runner-up twice including in a C&D handicap (5-1) two weeks ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he still has potential as a handicapper. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed once in four starts and that was when a well-held second of three in a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) in October; surprising if he isn't capable of better, though, given his pedigree and 240,000gns price tag. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made successful reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April but hasn't built on that, only tenth at York in June; bit to prove. |
20/1 |
|
10th 6 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Haydock maiden winner on last year's return and he again made a successful reappearance when impressively taking ten-runner Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) in April; bit below that form when beaten 8l at Goodwood (City Of Delight second, Urban Glimpse behind) off this mark six weeks ago, however. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive son of New Bay who returned with an impressive victory in 1m2f Nottingham handicap last month; hiked up 8lb but showed a good turn of foot there so big shout. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won handicaps at Newmarket and Epsom this summer before finishing down the field in the Royal Hunt Cup; only 14th of 18 at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) eight days ago but that doesn't tell the story of his run as he was travelling well but with nowhere to go for most of the home straight; he will need a career best to win but it is not out of the question. |
11/1 |
|
14th 4 (19) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 2-4 since being gelded features a success at Epsom on Oaks day when overcoming trouble; down the field in the Royal Hunt Cup 12 days later but perhaps the race came too soon; rested over six weeks since and may rebound. |
20/1 |
|
23th 17 (10) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Overcame trouble to win by 1l at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day, taking record since being gelded to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; returns to a hotter handicap but he's improving steadily and 1lb well in under a penalty; not dismissed. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player. |
7/2 |
|
1 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree. |

Encouraging third on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in December and filled the same position when favourite at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; in good hands to progress but others have more substance to their claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose by Qilin Queen (now BHA-rated 105) on debut last August but she's been below that level in four starts this year; cheekpieces (worn last time) are retained on this AW debut; others preferred. |
3/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ran to a useful level on her 2yo debut (beaten a nose by a filly now BHA-rated 106) but she hasn't kicked on this year, most recently beaten at odds of 4-9 at Ffos Las (1m, soft); cheekpieces now given a go. |
4/1 |

6 (8) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Inexperience cost her the race at Salisbury last August (1m, good to firm) when nosed out by subsequent Group 2 winner Qilin Queen; flopped when favourite on Haydock reappearance in May but she bounced back with a respectable third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; sets a good standard on her initial form and she's a key player on this drop back in trip. |
