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. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's in a position to make matters better, having finished a close second at Ripon (1m2f, soft) most recently; has C&D form; enters calculations. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
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 |

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. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not seen to best effect when fifth at Ascot (1m, good) latest but prior to that he was a close second to Indalo (1m, good to firm) in July and this lightly raced 4yo is not ruled out in view of that penultimate effort. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has got better with each of his three runs this year, finishing second at Sandown (1m, good to firm) two months ago; there's every chance that he'll continue to progress and he's one to consider. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 10 (9) |
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. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), registering a first handicap win; 1m4f seemed to stretch his stamina at Goodwood; this is probably his optimum; merits respect; blinkers now instead of cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
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. |

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. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Promise in two 3yo runs for Andrew Balding and he ran a fine race on his seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (1m) in May, splitting a useful pair of Gosden horses; absent since and returns in a tongue-tie but he sets the standard and isn't fully exposed. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
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. |

6/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Second in three of six races, twice on Tapeta as 2yo and short-headed in handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June; made an awkward start from the widest draw at York nearly 12 weeks ago and raced too freely on that first attempt at 1m4f; needs to put that behind him but he's lightly raced and unexposed. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins were 8.6f on Wolverhampton Tapeta but he's been third on all four visits here; having been back to his best with latest win 11 days ago, and run creditably under Jude Maher the time before; each-way claims. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (13) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good running-on fourth of nine in 7f handicap here two weeks ago; a player off the same mark with this step back up in trip also a plus and Oisin Murphy now up. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
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. |

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 |

Won at Nottingham and Newbury (both 1m2f on good) last August and she's been admirably consistent since, including with four runner-up efforts this season; still 3lb higher than for her last win but this step back up in trip is no problem and she's respected with Ryan Moore booked. |

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. |

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. |
