1st 2 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Began his career with a pair of 5f wins at Chester last May; progress stalled last summer but he returned from a 223-day absence with a good run back at Chester three weeks ago, third of 12 in a 6f handicap on good ground (wide draw); looks on a good mark but can he deliver away from Chester? |
11/4 |

3rd 13 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Career commenced with two wins at Chester (5.5f/6f, good) last May; not in the same form elsewhere subsequently but the return to this venue, combined with a gelding operation, may prompt a resurgence; one of three runners for his local stable. |
11/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Chester in May on his first two starts (5.5f/6f, good); down the field in Ascot Listed race (good) and Doncaster nursery (good to soft) on his last two runs, both over 7f; he may appreciate this drop back in trip and grade but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In the frame a few times, but 0-10 and recent efforts haven't been among his best; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-9 albeit placed three times including on Polytrack; well beaten in three handicaps, though, and disappointing for the others if he proves good enough. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-8 as a 2yo and ended his juvenile campaign with two below-par efforts; steps up to 7f for his reappearance and he is edging down the weights; the booking of Billy Loughnane is a positive one. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Early promise for James Horton last season but his campaign rather fizzled out; dropped away in the final 300yds at Haydock on his seasonal/stable debut three weeks ago but he may have needed the run and that was a 0-70; should last longer today. |
10/1 |

9th 12 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Early promise for James Horton last season but his campaign rather fizzled out; starts out for a new trainer (sold for 5,000gns in October) off a reduced mark; worth a market check. |
40/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two good placed efforts at Chester in the spring; gelded after finishing down the field at Royal Ascot and subsequent efforts have been underwhelming; drops into a 0-60 - an uncompetitive one at that - and a revival isn't out of the question. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight-race maiden who was safely held over 5f on first two starts for new stable this spring, albeit having encountered traffic on first occasion; ought to be suited by this move back up in trip, though, and may yet come good for David O'Meara. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (3) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Some fair efforts at up to 7f for Richard Fahey and Charlie Clover last season; bought for 16,000gns in October; had no luck in running on Catterick reappearance (5f, good) and is much better than he showed there; interesting from good draw. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 for Richard Fahey and Charlie Clover as a 2yo, recording his peak RPR when second of nine, beaten a neck, in a 7f nursery (good to soft; visored first time) at Haydock last September; sold for 16,000 one month later; down in trip for stable debut and goes without headgear. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No threat to winner but made good headway from the rear to finish second at Haydock (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; eased in grade here and looks well worth another crack at 7f; good chance. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 11 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
More encouraging signs with his staying-on fourth of 13 at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago; dropped 2lb for his troubles and now has headgear added for the first time; could have a bigger effort lurking. |
11/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two handicap runs have resulted in heavy defeats, the latest at Pontefract last week (had excuses); not solid but his best run did come at this track (7f). |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Has shown ability but remains winless after seven attempts and it would be a shock if his first win is registered in this warm contest. |
66/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second over C&D (good) in May but not in the same form again since, including when beaten in plating company two starts ago, and needs to up his game; refitted cheekpieces the headgear of choice today. |
7/1 |
|
3 (3) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Second of eight at Chester (6f) in May but he's been below his best in two starts since being gelded, including in a seller at Musselburgh (7f; first-time cheekpieces) 12 days ago; blinkers now tried on his first attempt over 1m. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Showed promise with second-place finish at Thirsk (5f) on 2yo debut; has regressed in two starts (6f) since but may stage a turnaround now handicapping. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Made a promising start when runner-up at Thirsk (5f, good) last May but he was well held when upped to 6f at Chester four weeks later; gelded since and has something to prove after 11 months off. |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Weakened into fifth on last week's nursery debut here (1m; blinkered first time) but he shaped much better than that, ultimately paying the price for trying to match strides with the easy winner; drops back to 7f and remains capable of better. |
8/1 |
|
8 (3) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has beaten a total of one rival in three starts over 5f-6f on turf; gelded since last seen and blinkers given a go, but a big transformation is needed stepping up another 2f in trip on nursery debut. |
10/1 |
|
8 (3) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Sands Of Mali colt has offered little in 5f Beverley novice and 5.5f Bath maiden this spring; significantly more is required. |
