1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Reasonably exposed over shorter distances and remains a maiden; attractively treated on best efforts but chance of finally winning partly depends on the effects of new trip. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden who continues to race freely, so dropping back from 7f might be no bad thing; wouldn't be the percentage play, though. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins as a 2yo, notably a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good); not so good in 2026 but his mark is easing; hooded for this first run for Stuart Williams (sold out of Oliver Cole's yard for 65,000gns last month). |
12/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Registered his success in a 2yo sales race over 7f; seemed unsuited by the drop back to 6f last time (handicap debut) but this stiffer track may help; 2lb lower. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Saw off 25 rivals when winning a 7f sales race at Newmarket last October (good ground); two defeats in Listed company this year (1m, AW and 7f, good to firm) and now drops back to 6f; well drawn for his handicap debut but this mark not an obvious gift. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Registered an improved effort when chasing home a subsequent winner at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm; Fletcher seventh) one month ago; could be getting his act together and he needs consideration. |
4/1 |

2nd 10 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Always behind when 50-1 for seasonal debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; Panthere Noir third) one week ago; needs to have taken considerable benefit from that outing. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
2yo campaign concluded with good third in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft); just one start this year, when keeping on strongly for close Listed third at Sandown (5f, good) in June; this sharp 5f may not play to his strengths but he has a Group 1 entry and is one to be interested in. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Successful at Windsor (6f) and third in Doncaster sales race (6.5f) since having wind surgery, and the form stacks up well; gelded since the last run nine months ago; showed promise over 5f on debut; interesting with further improvement possible. |
7/1 |
|
9 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Thrice-raced colt who had wind surgery prior to showing clear improvement at Windsor (6f, good to firm; won going away) most recently; may well build on that performance and progress further; one to consider. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won C&D novice then close up in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (5f) last July before losing some momentum; gelded since and was never nearer than at the line on his Newmarket comeback (6f, good to firm) in May; open to improvement and no surprise to see him involved. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
6f novice win at Windsor last July before appearing to improve when fourth in the Group 3 Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; form hasn't worked out at all); struggled thereafter and he makes his seasonal/handicap debut off a tough mark; has been gelded since last seen. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (14) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won a valuable sales race at last season's Ebor meeting; improved performer this year, winning a Listed event at Newbury (6f, good) before a close seventh in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; disappointed at Newbury two weeks ago when reportedly finding the ground too fast; a penalty could leave him vulnerable today. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sole 3yo in this field; largely progressive colt whose form features wins in York sales race as a 2yo and C&D Listed event on penultimate outing; creditable seventh in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot latest; may have more to offer back down in class; major player. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut. |
7/2 |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded. |
10/1 |
|
3 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year. |
