14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Still a maiden after 12 runs and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he returned to turf with a respectable fourth at Goodwood (7f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) last week and this race is easier. |
4/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Placed a few times, though only four ran when second at Wolverhampton last time (7f) and that form is unconvincing; others preferred. |

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. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who had nearly 2l to spare when winning 26-runner sales race over C&D (good); held in fourth of seven on reappearance in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) but could benefit from that run and the drop back in trip; no surprise to see a bold bid back on the Rowley Mile. |

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. |
50/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Well held in four starts last summer (6f-1m), latterly on his nursery/AW debut; would want to see some support this time back from such a layoff. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
1st 8 (5) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
180,000gns yearling; promising third of 11 on his Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) in May, but didn't get home when fifth of seven at Goodwood (6f, soft) the following month; the return to faster ground may help and has undergone wind surgery; shortlisted. |

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. |

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. |
5/1 |
|
7th 13 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last August and his form went to a new level when an all-the-way Listed winner at Newbury (6f, good) last month, narrowly from Albert Einstein; this is his first Group-race assignment and further improvement is needed but he's an each-way possible. |
16/1 |

1st 10 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Posted good performances (won/second) in sales races last term and ran creditably off top weight in Newmarket handicap (6f, good) on reappearance; however, has something to find on ratings in this field. |

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 |
|
3 (6) |
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. |
