1st 6 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Maintained his progress when repelling Victory Ace for a second AW success in May (1m) and Sandown last time didn't go entirely to plan after hitting traffic; remains of interest. |
4/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in Britain as a 2yo before winning a 1m1f conditions event in France last August; well held in a 1m2f conditions event at Chantilly last month (soft ground); not obviously well treated back in a handicap but new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Definite promise when third in a Newbury novice (6.5f, good) and an Ayr maiden (6f, good to soft) on last two starts; worth considering up in trip on handicap debut. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both starts at Newbury, better effort when third over 6.5f last time; however, gives the impression he'll be ideally suited by 7f+ which means this drop back to a bare 6f is a negative. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Haydock maiden and a Carlisle novice last summer; has gone close in three of his five starts this season but he was tailed off at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last time; needs to bounce back after that major blip and he's untried on AW; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrowly beaten on three of his four starts since being gelded, going down on the nod at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on latest; should go close again off an unchanged mark, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won 6f maiden and novice events as a 2yo; has posted three good efforts since being gelded, the most recent when narrowly denied in a three-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago; contender. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Promising profile included a Newbury novice win (extended 6f) last summer but it went into orbit, after running better than the bare result on Chester reappearance, when he got to the front over 1f out in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and held off allcomers; a 7lb rise may not interrupt his progress over 1m. |
5/2 |
|
1st 27 (28) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Contested a Group 2 last season after winning his novice; gelded in December; his comeback run at Chester was seriously promising when he had to be dropped in from a wide draw, then found trouble up the straight yet was beaten only 2l behind a shorter-priced stablemate; he's way better than that bare form and gets in off the same mark; possibilities. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Doesn't appear to have made any striking progress as a 3yo and he was beaten fair and square on handicap debut at Goodwood last time in a race contested by others in here who didn't get the rub of the green that day; looks vulnerable. |
50/1 |
|
6th 7 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Eased once beaten upped to 1m on Good Friday when bidding for an AW double; consistent sort otherwise, including on turf last year, and may rebound; however, balance of form suggests he's no certainty to defy his mark on handicap debut. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive in defeat on turf across his four 2yo starts and he reappeared with a novice win at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 16 days ago, when odds-on; further improvement is necessary if he's to follow up today, but that can't be ruled out and there's every chance 1m will be fine; yard in good form. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (17) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him. |
25/1 |
|
11th 12 (14) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Well-connected gelding; justified short odds in 6f AW maiden as 2yo; made a fairly ordinary reappearance but he was much better for it when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in early June, coming through to beat a useful type at this level; up 4lb but can achieve more. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field at long odds both starts; needs first-time headgear to have a transformative effect. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
50-1 when down the field on debut at Newbury (6.5f, good) three weeks ago and he's probably best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£42,000 yearling; first foal; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76) from talented family; gelded; others are more compelling than this Mehmas newcomer. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Close fourth over C&D in March and off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May; off 57 days before failing to figure at Wolverhampton (16-1) five weeks ago, but he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May and race may have come too soon when running flat three days later; still unexposed and may be worth another chance after a short break. |
