3rd 1 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 2yo/3yo; he has faced some stiff tasks for his new yard this year and has come up short; his sights are lowered here, however, and 6f on fast ground won't faze him; respected now down into a 0-90 with headgear dispensed with. |
7/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins at 6f for previous yard but he was far from disgraced when seventh of 28 in 7f Victoria Cup here (good; first-time cheekpieces) in May; drawn on the wrong side when he finished last at the Royal meeting but he's dropped to a handy mark and shouldn't be discounted on this return to 6f. |
20/1 |
|
28th 26 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time 6f winner who ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Victoria Cup over C&D most recently, albeit taking record for current yard to 0-5 and failing to improve for a return to 7f. |

7th 4 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Won his first two starts in maiden/novice company; second of nine at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on his handicap debut last June but it has been tougher going since; latest third at Ripon was a promising enough return to action though and he should give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Shaped well on his first four career starts, winning an Ayr maiden (5f, good) and a Pontefract novice (6f, good); disappointing since, including on first run after being gelded (AW) last time; back after a break. |
14/1 |
|
12th 5 (8) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won his first two starts and he was a close second on his handicap debut last June (6f, good to firm); struggled thereafter, albeit pitched into a Group 1 at Royal Ascot; gelded during his 132-day absence; could still have some potential and switching to AW shouldn't be a problem. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since winning in first-time blinkers (retained) over C&D three months ago on second start for new yard and on AW; unexposed in this sphere and still has leeway in the handicap (peak mark was 16lb higher). |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In and out for George Scott this season but not disgraced over 7f at Chelmsford (AW debut) three weeks ago; can compete off a career-low mark so would have real possibilities if revitalised by a change of stable. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Promising 2yo for Jack Davison in Ireland last season; yet to shine for current stable and, although the handicapper is relenting, this looks competitive enough. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a modest 8.6f seller at Wolverhampton last September; not so good since and he'll need to be at his best to take this; is at least unexposed at the trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign in sellers, winning once and finishing third twice; well treated on best form but isn't sure to reproduce it and record of 0-8 in handicaps adds doubt. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Doing well for his new yard and nicely on top at the finish in a big field at York a month ago (6f, good to firm); up 5lb but looks a big player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he shouldn't be long in putting that right judged on his last two runs at Windsor and Newmarket (both 6f, good to firm); one to take seriously. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season with two close seconds in August (both on good to firm); returned to form with close fourth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season and he could play a leading role back here. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Kempton (cheekpieces first time); well beaten at Goodwood 17 days ago on his return from a 175-day break (gelded during the absence); better than that but still not easily recommended. |
20/1 |
|
23th 3 (14) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when successful over 7f at Kempton in December; no more than a respectable fourth back there (7f again) two months later and off since (has been gelded); Clive Cox is among the winners but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last two 7f wins came off just a 1lb lower mark, most recently in February, but he wasn't at his best in two runs last month on turf and the AW; others higher up the list. |
14/1 |
|
8 (3) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February; good second over 6f at Newcastle next time but his form has cooled in last two starts; bit to prove again and he needs to bounce back near best. |
12/1 |
|
8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins have been at 7f but he was a good second over this trip at Newcastle on AW finals day; didn't pack the same punch when fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time but he's still unexposed as a sprinter and is not ruled out back in trip. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Clung on for dead-heat in Chelmsford maiden (6f, AW) in March but he's not gone on from that and was always in rear here (7f) two weeks ago; on reduced mark with Oisin Murphy booked but he needs to rediscover his spark back in trip. |
11/1 |
|
9th 10 (9) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Short-priced favourite on each of his first four starts and clung on for a dead-heat at Chelmsford in March; smidge frustrating in handicaps since. |
10/1 |
|
12 (8) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Most of his best form has come on the AW, including when dead-heating in a Chelmsford maiden (6f) in March and when third of 12 at Lingfield (7f) last month; needs to show he can produce a similar performance back on grass; stable won this last year. |
