2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |

Won at Musselburgh last April and June; failed to make a serious impact since, albeit fourth of 12 back at Musselburgh three weeks ago; non-runner at Redcar on Thursday. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Efforts since last summer leave plenty to be desired, including last month's Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW; first start since being gelded); however, he is 2-2 here (1m/1m1f) and 7lb lower than when last successful; worth a second look; stable also runs Sir Paul Ramsey. |

Returned to form from a slipping mark when sixth of 11 in 7f handicap at Haydock 33 days ago; one for the shortlist. |

9st 8lb |
3yo who is 1lb lower than when first past the post over C&D in July (good; demoted due to interference); also effective on soft; down the field at Goodwood and York since but this is less competitive; not written off. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has faced stiff tasks in a Listed race and three Class 2 handicaps since winning her first two starts as a 2yo, including one here (7f); not easy to assess, but this is much easier and she could go well especially if the return here helps. |
8/1 |

13 (7) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Faded in Listed race on hat-trick bid last term and took backward steps this season with her heavy defeats in handicaps at Musselburgh (1m1f) and Royal Ascot (1m); best watched at present. |
66/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Dual winner but has made little impact in Listed/handicap company on her last two starts, going off 40-1 at Musselburgh two weeks ago; couldn't be entertained for this on the back of that run. |

3rd 15 (7) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Placed in May/June in his first two handicaps (1m/1m1f, good to firm/good) and he's of interest on that form; two lesser runs have followed (1m2f, good to firm/soft) and he has something to prove, but this 3yo remains lightly raced and is in top hands; not written off. |
10/1 |
|
10 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Has looked a bit quirky but his close second at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in June shows he's capable off this sort of mark; never a threat on quicker ground at the Newmarket July meeting but it was a hot 3yo only handicap; returns from two months off, minus the blinkers he's worn on last two starts and with his yard in excellent form; going softer than good would be an unknown but there's still a feeling he might have a bigger performance in him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he's gone close in two of his three runs since, including after a slow start on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; blinkers added) last month; up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the third since and he should have more to offer. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Landed seller on final start for Karl Burke at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in February in first-time cheekpieces; headgear absent when fifth of nine at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago on stable debut; cheekpieces back on; stepping up in trip but may need to come down in the weights. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win came on British debut last April (1m1f turf); not with Mike Murphy, who has hit form since this one last ran, long and twice managed third over C&D despite being unwanted in the betting; could be the answer from handy draw. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 (3) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

66-1 when third of nine behind Port Road here two weeks ago; chance if he can build on that but overall profile suggests that wouldn't be assured. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finally got the job done in Windsor contest (1m, good to firm) last week and did it comfortably, opening his account at the 18th attempt; great chance under a penalty, provided he's in the same form back down in trip; due to go up 4lb in future. |

1st 2 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

0-17 but he's a consistent sort and posted a solid fourth of 12 in 1m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came as a 2yo last August but he's been runner-up from off the pace on varied ground in three of his last five starts, over this sort of trip on last two occasions; each-way contender again. |
6/1 |
|
4 (5) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine. |
6/1 |
|
4 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good. |
