9th 2 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his seven starts; sent off the red-hot favourite for Ascot's Victoria Cup last month but he failed to fire, finishing 22nd of the 28 runners; gelded soon after and he remains capable of better. |
5/2 |
|
32 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb
|
Reserve; hindered by traffic issues in his final start of an otherwise progressive 2025 season that featured a Glorious Goodwood win (7f, good to soft); disappointing favourite in the Victoria Cup over C&D on reappearance but has possibilities if a physical tweak (gelded since) works a treat. |
9/1 |
|
22th 16 (19) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Well-bred colt whose record of 3-6 overall and 2-3 in handicaps (7f) features a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood; hindered by traffic issues at same venue when last seen (effort best forgiven); cheekpieces worn that day are retained; beat Defence Minister by half a length at Sandown last July; still open to further progress and remains of strong interest. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Won a 7f maiden on this card last year on his racecourse debut; struggled subsequently but this is a bit easier down another 3lb in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces when last seen); yard also run Jack Sparowe. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 13 came at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September; placed at Thirsk (7f) in April and Hamilton (1m1f) in June, before a slight dip in form; latest Ayr fifth (1m2f, beaten under 5l) respectable; 2lb lower, with claiming rider Shay Farmer booked, so isn't discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1-12; fair third over 1m1f at Hamilton three starts back but lesser efforts at York (1m6f and 1m) since; still 3lb above his winning mark and best form is at up to 1m1f; others more appealing. |
20/1 |

10th 14 (16) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Upped markedly in trip here (1m6f) four weeks ago and predictably failed to stay; previous form (7f-1m1f) is solid enough but a wide draw could be difficult to overcome. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who ran well in the C&D event won by Beagle Bay most recently but needs to build on that effort and to prove conclusively that his current mark is surmountable; balance of form gives doubt. |
11/1 |
|
4th 3 (11) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Low-mileage colt who showed progress last year but was perhaps flattered in French AW Listed event on final start and failed by a long way to repeat the form on handicap/seasonal debut; mark seems stiff. |

10st 1lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) latest start, registering a first handicap win; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected assuming he stays this new trip. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
0-7 in handicaps and expensive to follow but he's run some big races this season, most recently second of six at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) behind a well-handicapped winner; wears first-time cheekpieces and can be bang there off the same mark as last time. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
His only race on firmer than good was on debut, when runner-up; sole win came in a 1m Ffos Las maiden as 3yo; that's from nine races and despite being favourite in his last five handicaps but all three starts this season (1m2f, 1m and 1m1f; never nearer at evens last time) confirmed that he is well capable of being seriously involved. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well in defeat in Dubai on last two outings, off nearly six months since latest; successful at Doncaster (1m novice) and Newmarket (1m2f handicap) last summer on two most recent starts in Britain; ground softer than good would be an unknown, but he's lightly raced for his age and not ruled out with headgear fitted and a good-value claimer booked. |
13/2 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
650,000euros yearling; clear promise with his two frame efforts last summer and he found improvement after a gelding operation when keeping on well to beat his 15 rivals at Doncaster (1m, good) last month; still has plenty of potential and he's an interesting contender upped in trip on handicap debut. |
11/4 |
|
7 (6) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
550,000euros foal, 650,000euros yearling; has a striking pedigree and he showed plenty of promise when reaching the frame at Sandown (7f) and Newbury (1m) last summer; been gelded since but his form has plenty of substance and he sets the standard on his return; key player. |

21st May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Showed plenty of ability in two starts over 1m on turf for Andrew Balding last summer, the form of both races working out extremely well; changed hands for 85,000gns soon afterwards and makes his debut for his new yard after 11 months off having been gelded and with the hood removed; out of an AW winner; worth a market check. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 8.6f course winner during the winter and left low-key reappearance run behind when placed over that trip here in July; current mark ought to be workable but he needs to prove himself over 7f and is only Jude Maher's second ride under rules. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 12 (8) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in his last two starts here, the latest on his return from 144 days off this month; however, he was in fine form on the AW in midwinter prior to those below-par efforts, winning twice over C&D; may be worth chancing and market support would be interesting. |
9/1 |

12th 10 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Both wins this winter came over C&D but in Class 6 company; a career best will be required to take this back from a 144-day break. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished last on his handicap debut (first-time cheekpieces), upped to this trip having offered little in three runs over 1m, but wasn't beaten far in a messy affair; may ultimately want more of a test, judged on pedigree, but is one to keep an eye on. |

7th 7 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Well beaten in three novice/maiden events over 1m but he's bred to be suited by middle distances and may have more to offer now entering handicaps; cheekpieces go on. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
She remains 5lb higher than for her last win last August but that's because she's been admirably consistent in defeat this year, finishing second again at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm; acts on soft) seven weeks ago; likely to give another good account. |

Largely progressive sort in 2025 (when a two-time 1m2f winner) and she's continued on the up stepped up to 1m4f this season, finishing runner-up twice; the Ed Bethell team is in good form, so she should go well back from a seven-week break. |

7f win at Epsom last summer; three encouraging runs this winter, albeit beaten at odds-on at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (9.5f); this mark should be in range but she is by Mehmas so the trip is a question mark. |

Off the mark at Epsom (7f) last July; never-nearer second at Chelmsford in December after a break, finding only the warm favourite (won next time) too good; just mild late headway into fourth at Kempton (again 1m; favourite) and looks well worth a go over this new trip now back on Tapeta. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Ran okay when 5l fourth of five in C&D novice last September and it was her first run since when beaten only about 3l in sixth of ten on handicap debut at Beverley (8.4f, turf) a fortnight ago; her pedigree provides optimism that she'll have more to offer and she could be a contender. |
