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 |

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 |

7th 3 (11) |
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. |

7th 7 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
7f winner at Thirsk (soft) in September and he was back in that sort of form when close third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; sire and damsire both influences for stamina but this marked step up in trip is still a little surprising. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and reappeared with promising third there (7f, good) in April; kept on for fifth over this C&D (good) three weeks ago in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently, and the first-time hood may not have suited (left off today); possible player. |
9/2 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage son of Golden Horn who got off the mark at Thirsk (7f) in September; resumed from seven months off with a good third of 13 in another 7f handicap there 27 days ago; could do better still back up in trip with a hood fitted and rates a player. |

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. |
20/1 |
|
14th 5 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Showed plenty of ability on all four starts (AW/good) as 3yo, winning a 1m novice, but he seems to have been hit hard by the handicapper following his fifth of seven last November in a 9.5f Listed race on Deauville AW. |

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. |
6/5 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win in 1m Ffos Las maiden as 3yo; beaten favourite in last four handicaps but soft and heavy ground no help in 2025 and he's performed with credit against rivals with potential this season, over 1m2f at Newbury and 1m at Sandown (both on good; probably effective on soft); solid chance at this intermediate trip for yard with 34% strike-rate here, 10-29. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to good second, improving his RPR, at Newbury (1m2f, good) on seasonal debut; may well build on that effort and take another step forward; effective over 1m last term, including maiden success; major contender. |

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. |

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. |

20th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

550,000euros foal, 650,000euros yearling; useful pedigree; made the frame at Sandown (7f) and Newbury (1m) last summer, and the form has received several boosts; gelded since; leading player on reappearance. |

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. |

2nd 3 (2) |

4th 1 (2) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Justified favouritism last time, taking record in handicaps to 3313331 and strike-rate over C&D to 2-3; runner-up has boosted that latest form by scoring twice since; respected. |

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. |

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

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

She remains 5lb higher than for her last win last August but that's because she's been admirably consistent in defeat this year; runner-up at York (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday and she can be bang there. |

2nd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Appeared to show improved form when fourth of five at Southwell (1m, AW) in September on her final qualifying run; assessor probably hasn't left much to chance but she's the least exposed of these and may be able to have a say on this handicap debut. |

Runner-up in 7f fillies' novice and maiden events at Newmarket and Thirsk last summer; raced too freely when last of 13 at Newmarket on last month's return to action (1m, good); too much to prove for comfort. |

Only made her debut just under a year ago; best effort on second start when runner-up in 7f novice on the July course (good to firm) in June; not badly treated on that form but didn't build on it and ended last term with a whimper when tailed off at Musselburgh in August; market might help on this seasonal/handicap debut. |
