10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-4 with commanding win on nursery debut at Newmarket (1m, good) a fortnight ago; the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive but he's nevertheless high on the list after that latest performance. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Got up in final stride at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July on second start; only fifth in Thirsk novice (1m, good) since but jockey reported he slipped turning for home; retains potential and not ruled out on nursery debut. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Built on debut form when leading on the line in 7f Epsom maiden (good to firm) six weeks ago; those in behind haven't done much for the form since but he has the potential for better now stepping up to 1m. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has had plenty of chances but still a maiden (0-12); third to Karakula Dancer at Kempton (1m; beaten over 1l) on penultimate start before a lacklustre effort at Lingfield (1m2f; last of seven) latest; back in trip but others make more appeal. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent performer but he has had his limitations exposed at up to 8.6f; latest Kempton third came off this mark and any improvement for the new, longer trip will see him bang there. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who is developing into a consistent sort, albeit his thirditis this year reflects a lack of progress; surrounded by possible improvers in this field but is a solid contender on form. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made his breakthrough (sixth attempt) when coming from rear to justify support in a nursery at Epsom (7f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a clearcut success and he's open to more progress; shortlisted. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Saw out 7f well when runner-up on handicap debut at Leicester (good to firm; Sweet Lord fourth, Booziebrunch fifth); lost all chance at the start in a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery a fortnight ago; player back down in grade. |
3/1 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Saw out the 7f well when runner-up on nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) but coming up short in that Class 5 makes him opposable at this loftier level. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has been kept busy and scored for the second time this year when successful over C&D last month off 6lb lower; not disgraced in better company at Epsom eight days ago but may need to come back down the weights. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Exploited reduced mark with clearcut win at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month; evidently in good nick but went back up 6lb for that and this return to turf may not be ideal. |
5/1 |
|
1st 10 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only finished placed once from nine runs in handicaps (over C&D in the winter) and is fully exposed; hasn't always looked straightforward, hanging right more than once, and remains vulnerable to improvers. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on four occasions prior to his 7f handicap win at Salisbury in May; that form has worked out well enough to think this mark was in range and his disappointing run here 24 days ago can be excused (lost his position after some early scrimmaging); has to prove his stamina but he will be a danger to all if seeing out the mile. |
8/1 |
|
10th 10 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Wasn't winning out of turn when scoring by a neck from 13 rivals at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; second and seventh horses have won since so shortlisted from 3lb higher. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden but placed in four of them, including when a close third at Lingfield on last month's seasonal debut (7f, AW); that run can be upgraded (forced wide) and he should have no issue with the return to turf; more appealing than many. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark in a C&D handicap last week (good); has stiffer task with his penalty and was withdrawn on account of fast ground last month, but worth considering. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has led; 0-9 but he only just failed to hang on in an AW handicap (6f) on final 2yo start and he's run two good races over 7f (good and soft) for new connections this year; very likely to go well back over 6f. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly here (extended 5f, good to firm) recently when tried in cheekpieces but he was behind three of these rivals so more needed. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Second to none other than Zavateri on his introduction at Salisbury (good to firm) in June; not matched that since and was beaten 17l when favourite for his nursery debut at Ffos Las (also 6f, heavy) three weeks ago; conditions a legitimate excuse that day and now swaps blinkers for cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
1 (5) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Looked sure to win races when second of nine behind the smart Zavateri on his Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) in June, but has been bitterly disappointing in three starts since; needs a resurgence, but he has been found a weak race for his nursery debut; blinkers given a go. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Cracking purchase at 35,000gns as a yearling, and developed into a smart colt during a 2025 season that featured wins in three major 2yo races, notably the National Stakes at the Curragh (7f, yielding) where his gameness was confirmed; handled the July course at Newmarket in the summer but proved all at sea on the Rowley Mile in the Dewhurst, losing his unbeaten record (still ran respectably in fourth place); he's the pick on form and launches 3yo campaign in a race that his trainer's father Fulke won twice. |
2/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Star performer for Eve Johnson Houghton this term and his unbeaten record features wins in the July Stakes, Vintage Stakes and Group 1 National Stakes; prevailed narrowly from Gstaad at the Curragh (7f, yielding) most recently, displaying the same battling attribute that served him well at Glorious Goodwood; progressive, very game and top on ratings. |
7/2 |

1st 6 (1) |
14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Without Parole colt cost 35,000gns as a yearling and proving a shrewd buy, unbeaten in three starts; Salisbury novice, held off Coventry second Do Or Do Not in Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket, and extended margin over same rival when lasting out 7f trip in Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood, rallying gamely (Dorset a below-par fifth); likely slower ground and stiffer track will place more of an emphasis on stamina but has the right attitude. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Sole success came at Bath (5f, heavy) last October; shapes as though this return to 6f will suit but this is tough on AW debut. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Has been mostly in good form since cheekpieces were applied, winning on heavy ground at Bath in October and finishing runner-up on three occasions (good/good to firm); back up in grade but has each-way claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Cheekpieces have helped and he just looked to find Ascot's 6f stretching him in better company last time; whether today's easy 5f is too far the other way is the question. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Improved for the switch to nurseries, finishing third at Nottingham before beating 13 rivals at Southwell (6f) last month; stretched by 7f at Wolverhampton last time and could resume her progress back sprinting; lower draw would have been preferable though. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark (fifth attempt) with a last-gasp win in a Southwell nursery (6f, Tapeta) 18 days ago; up 4lb but she showed a good attitude last time and should have more to offer at this new trip; respected. |
5/2 |
|
4 (12) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Posted a solid effort when third of nine at Nottingham (6f, good) on handicap debut 28 days ago; better is probably needed on this AW debut. |
