16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held by Wise Approach on Group 1 Middle Park running (6f) but otherwise proved a useful and consistent sprinter last term, winning at Royal Ascot (Listed) and making the frame in several other notable races; solid claims, assuming he has trained on. |
12/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Windsor Castle winner who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Flying Childers (5f, good; Group 2) at Doncaster most recently, taking record to 121234; very likely to give his running but has seemingly reached his ceiling (form has levelled off). |

3 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; Windsor Castle winner (5f) who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Richmond at Goodwood (6f) most recently, taking form figures to 12123; again in the mix. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf. |
4/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Faced some stiff tasks as a 2yo after winning a Newmarket novice last May (6f, good); not on a bad mark on his best efforts now starting out for John Butler (sold out of Richard Hannon's stable for 20,000gns last October); has been gelded; betting to guide. |
12/1 |
|
16th 2 (24) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won his novice here over 6f in May; ran quite well in a nursery at Glorious Goodwood but pretty much tailed off in other four races since mid-June; has lots on at these weights. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won last May/June on first two starts and some creditable runs since, but he's finished held at Newmarket on both outings this spring (7f, good/good to firm), including behind stablemate Talk Of New York; others preferred. |
40/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts last May/June then fifth in a pair of Group 2 races; twice placed at Meydan early this year but beaten about 6l when third of five in conditions race over this C&D (good) recently and Cerro Blanco may well be the yard's chief hope under Billy Loughnane. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Brings useful 6f form that includes a success in the Woodcote as a 2yo and two placed efforts, since a gelding operation, at Meydan this year; a reasonably solid contender over this new trip, albeit William Buick prefers stablemate Talk Of New York. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |

Absent since narrowly justifying favouritism in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) ten weeks ago; not many winners have come out of that race since but he's open to progress all the same. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten five times since his debut win but has performed creditably when highly tried and being carried left by an errant rival did him no favours in the Super Sprint (had top weight); returning to 6f is a major positive and his stable has a great record in this race. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
0-4 since debut win (5f, good) but form is on an upward curve, and he ran well facing a stiff task when fifth of seven in Group 2 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last week; will need another personal best under top weight. |
14/1 |
|
4 (4) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable seventh in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but is now 0-3 since debut win and looking a touch exposed, at least over sprint trips; it remains to be seen whether this longer distance helps. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Windsor and then ran creditably in the Woodcote at Epsom (again at 6f, good to soft); had 97 days off prior to finishing down the field in a sales race at Doncaster (extended 6f) and not overly appealing on the back of that. |
50/1 |
|
16 (10) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Absent since running creditably in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) three months ago but is the sole runner for a trainer who landed this prize in 2019 and 2021; still unexposed and looks interesting. |
10/1 |

6 (9) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
From the first crop of a sire who was a smart performer for this yard; didn't have much to spare at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time but may build on that success and show further improvement. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice as a 2yo, notably a Listed success over C&D last August; life has been tougher since but both this year's runs have been creditable; proven course form and the stands' rail draw will count for plenty and she's one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon (6f, good) last August; that was relatively modest form for the grade and she needs to prove she's capable off this sort of mark, but is not discounted. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Well held in the Woodcote in sole 2yo start, then had gelding operation; fared better dropped in grade at Kempton (6f, AW) on reappearance, finishing third; could go well. |

3rd 6 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sent off 50-1 and beaten a very long way on his debut in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 11 months ago; gelded since and probably best watched on return. |
20/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Caravaggio colt; dam 8.6f AW winner (RPR 85), half-sister to two Group 3 scorers; the only runner who lacks experience but represents an Epsom stable and looks an intriguing debutant. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won AW handicaps at Southwell in February (5f) and Newcastle in March (6f); beaten 1.5l off this mark when third in a 5f Southwell handicap last time (Artista fourth) and could go well if as effective on turf. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for the drop to 5f when 1.5l too strong for Call Margot over C&D in February; defied a 7lb rise when narrowly winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle 19 days ago, form that was given a handsome boost when the runner-up won at Lingfield on Good Friday; another 4lb higher today but there could well be more in the tank and her attitude will continue to stand her in good stead. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the drop to 5f at Southwell last time, getting off the mark; the main question is whether she'll be as effective returned to a longer distance. |
