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. |
11/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Held on narrowly, having hung briefly left, in 3yo handicap over 7f at Glorious Goodwood to take record to 3-5; this well-bred colt may improve further, provided he takes to first-time headgear; on the shortlist. |
9/2 |

1st 12 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Showed promise on soft ground on debut; proved suited by drop back to 7f in Sandown handicap (good to firm) most recently, holding on by half a length and taking record to 2151; bred to do better still, being a sibling to two Group 1 scorers for his connections; respected up just 2lb. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
12/1 |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Led late to make a winning debut at Newcastle in May (7f); well beaten at big prices in two handicaps in August and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt today. |

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. |
9/2 |

3rd 13 (6) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Lost his action and weakened at Catterick when last seen 199 days ago; prior to that he had comfortably seen off nine rivals in a C&D handicap (soft) in September; only had seven starts and there should be more to come. |

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. |
20/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
150,000euros yearling; 11-4 favourite in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) in April and and he made some promising late headway to finish third of 15; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he should be more streetwise this time; interesting contender. |
2/1 |

3rd 7 (12) |
16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

150,000euros yearling; New Bay half-brother to three winners, notably Son Of Man (Group-placed 6f 2yo; RPR 96); dam Group-placed in France (110); one of two runners for his connections. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Narrowly landed skinny odds in a Ffos Las maiden (1m, good) last July and although out of the first three in three big-field handicaps (1m/1m2f) subsequently, he was far from disgraced; gelded since last seen seven months ago but looks the type with more to offer this year. |
3/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two solid handicap efforts since making all in 1m maiden at Ffos Las in July; proved himself in the mud when fourth of 18 in Ascot handicap last time and the first and third in that both ran well in the Balmoral back there last weekend; surprising were this 3yo to have reached his limit after only five starts. |
4/1 |
|
16 (16) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made debut in May and runner-up on first two starts before making all at Ffos Las (1m) in July; made his handicap debut in a warm good-ground 1m2f event at Glorious Goodwood last time and ran well to be fifth of 18 despite being drawn widest and racing freely; drop back in trip looks a positive and his dam won her only start on soft; makes plenty of appeal. |

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 |

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. |
5/1 |

5 (2) |
20th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

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 |

9st 9lb |
Largely progressive sort in 2025 (when a two-time 1m2f winner) and she's continued on the up stepped up to 1m4f this season, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when fourth of 15 at Chester 13 days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |

4th 6 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent filly who won twice over 1m2f last summer and posted career-best form when close second on last month's reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good; clear third has won since); well drawn and Toby Moore looks excellent value for his 7lb claim against other apprentices; good chance. |

2nd 5 (11) |

A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025 and she signed off with an excellent second in 1m4f Catterick handicap in October; yard continues to go very well so she's a likely player returning off the same mark here. |

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. |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

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. |

She has not been beaten far in two handicaps at around 1m this spring, keeping on for a 2l fifth at Southwell three weeks ago; still has some potential and stepping up to 1m2f could unlock it. |

5th 9 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

10st 2lb |
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. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |

5th 9 (5) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has raced three times and finished second the last twice (7f, turf); there's every chance she'll be fine at 1m (mixed messages in pedigree regarding stamina) and could be the type to continue to progress; not ruled out. |
