5th 6 (7) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Chepstow novice winner (6f, good to firm) who won a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month; no threat for the first two when third in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was still a good performance and he could be a contender now down in grade. |
6/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Narrowly justified favouritism in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) last time when looking well treated on his earlier second behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; steadily progressive but this is harder. |
25/1 |
|
2 (4) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Below-par favourite in French sales race (soft) last time; has progressive form on home soil, most recently second under a penalty at Thirsk (6f, good) behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; opening mark looks workable. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Twice fourth in 5f novices for Adrian Keatley last summer but has offered little in handicaps at Haydock (6f) and Kempton (7f) for his new stable this season; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Patchy form in three qualifying runs for Adrian Keatley last year and he was beaten a long way when last of 11 on his reappearance and handicap/stable debut at Haydock (6f; hooded) in April; goes up a furlong for his first bash at AW. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His nursery win came here over 5f off 2lb higher; quiet in two runs for current trainer, the latest after wind surgery and a gelding operation. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner on turf for previous yard; absent and had wind/gelding operations since below-par effort on AW last December (stable debut); the market signals may give useful extra guidance on reappearance. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender. |

2nd 6 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has remained in form since breaking his duck at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, albeit he didn't find much back at 7f on Newcastle AW recently; likely to give his running but others may have more scope off their current marks. |
4/1 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose by stablemate Surgeon Commander over C&D in January; won off a 4lb lower mark at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, and on the premises twice since, backing out of contention only late on at Carlisle (fourth) ten days ago; task isn't impossible. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Came good at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, his 11th start, and had awkward draw on the wing when fourth off new mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; remains very much of interest. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 and he's been well held since finishing runner-up in a maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last September, including when fading into seventh at Beverley (7.5f) two weeks ago; drops into a classified. |
20/1 |
|
7th 12 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in nine and well behind in six races since finishing second in a maiden last September; has tried cheekpieces and a visor in last two races. |
40/1 |
|
10th 10 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden; has plummeted in the weights since sent handicapping (down 16lb); weakened quickly when last of eight in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (5.5f) latest; difficult to identify many positives; headgear tweaked. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good) in June and short-headed by Naana's Shadow over this C&D (good) seven days later; not beaten far when sixth then fifth in big fields at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good to firm) on his last two starts; in with an each-way shout. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form over 5f and although he paid a high handicapping price for a wide-margin Redcar win in June, he so nearly overcame the 8lb rise at York next time against Naana's Shadow; had more to do at Ascot (good to firm) after but produced another sterling effort in a close sixth of 15; solid claims back against his own age group. |
13/2 |
|
6th 13 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Some solid efforts in maiden and novices (5f/6f) but he wasn't improving and could only carry that level over when sixth of nine on nursery debut at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; up in trip again for this AW debut. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in maiden/novice events over 5f/6f this summer; respectable fourth of nine in 6f Chester novice (good) last time; steps up to 7f for nursery debut. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unable to justify favouritism but still posted a sound effort when clear second at Redcar (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, on fourth start; will play a major role if in similar form again here. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
No excuses off her revised mark since a Nottingham win off 4lb lower (well drawn at Lingfield; some way below that level at Bath latest); completely exposed now. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Opened account in big field at Nottingham (6f, good) in April and posted another good effort when second of 13 at Lingfield (6f, good) ten days ago; back in action before 1lb rise takes effect; likely contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating 14 rivals at Nottingham (6f, good) last month (two of these behind), but didn't seem suited by the drop to 5f when fourth of nine there (good) 17 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and a major player back up in trip. |
7/2 |
