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. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Free-goer who came from the rear for a close third behind Soames Forsyte over C&D last month and may not have been suited by the much more positive tactics when below that form at Wolverhampton (8.6f; ran without usual hood) a few days later; however, he's 0-16 now and has become frustrating. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
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 |

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. |

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. |
7/2 |

7th 4 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three starts over 1m, showing promise on the first of two turf runs; no match for a smart prospect when second of three on Newcastle's Tapeta when last seen in October but showed enough to confirm he possesses a fairly useful level of ability; has obvious unexposed potential now handicapping on his return (has been gelded). |

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. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden at Haydock (1m, good) last May but he's not really gone on from that in handicaps since; ended last season with two respectable thirds at this track (8.3f/1m2f) but he needs to find something extra after 161 days off. |
6/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won maiden at Haydock (good) in May and a good, plugging-on third here (good to soft; alongside Sea Poetry) three weeks ago; lesser displays over 1m2f (good) and 1m1f (soft) in between seem to dent his prospects, though. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field when 33-1 in C&D Cambridgeshire last September, before being gelded; however, he was reliable and progressive earlier last season and reappeared with a front-running 1m win here (favourite) 18 days ago; has 5lb penalty (same as his revised mark) but needs plenty of respect. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Easily made all in small field on the other Newmarket course in August on just his second handicap start; after a 10lb rise he turned in a respectable fourth of 11 at Goodwood (also 1m) a fortnight later but was down the field here in September's Cambridgeshire (1m1f, also good to firm); has been gelded and might have more to offer this term. |

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 |

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. |
