13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced as 2yo but was quick out of the blocks in the spring, winning twice on Tapeta (6f and 7f); has continued in form since and his recent sixth in a big field at York (7f, good; just behind Miss Collada) was encouraging; close up again. |

9st 5lb |
A model of consistency in five runs to date, winning twice on AW (6f/7f) and forced to race wide when third of seven at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; should be in the thick of things again. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
3yo who was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Sandown when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery win (AW) last backend came over 7f and she's run her last three races over that trip, but the drop back may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better. |

9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins for Heather Main came at Kempton; not at his best for this yard, including back to sprinting last time after a spell over further, and isn't obviously fancied from the outside stall. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Two wins for Heather Main came over 6f and he hasn't always convinced over this trip; never involved for his new yard last time, when trying 1m for the first time, and needs much more into a stronger handicap. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Thirsk on his seasonal and stable debut last month; only fifth back at Thirsk this month but the drop to 6f may have counted against him; not discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Better than ever when making a winning start for the Michael Dods stable over 7f here (good) a fortnight ago; 6f winner for previous yard last autumn so the return to sprinting shouldn't be an issue; respected off just 2lb higher. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won two handicaps for Roger Varian last year (7f, AW and 6f, soft); only fourth off this mark when last seen in October; sold for 34,000gns later that month; market to guide after his break. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

She's below her last winning mark and may have needed the run at Kempton this month on her stable debut; however, her form was patchy last season and her claims aren't compelling. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins for Alice Haynes include one here (6f); 3lb lower than when a close fifth of 12 over C&D in November and worth a market check on stable debut after four months off. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but he has not been with Jim Goldie long and his latest Musselburgh third (1m, good) was encouraging; Paul Mulrennan replaces an apprentice today and a bigger effort could be forthcoming. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 12 (13) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-10 and has come seventh on his three starts for this yard (7f/6f); however, he hasn't been running badly, with his latest effort coming in a big field at Thirsk, and there have been hints that his return to 1m may suit. |
16/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

0-9 but he hasn't been with Jim Goldie for long and getting back on turf should help; drop back to 6f another possible source of improvement. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Still a maiden but he has performed encouragingly in two runs, albeit both on Lingfield AW in December, since having wind surgery; returns to turf for this reappearance. |
10/1 |
|
6th 11 (4) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still a maiden after 15 starts but he's well treated on his peak form and was best of the rest behind Harryella over C&D 13 days off; has a big swing in the weights with his old rival and could be dangerous if he can back that up. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

14-race maiden who has gone backwards since May, notably so the last twice, and can't be recommended at present; wore a visor latest start, which is ditched for this AW debut. |

Won over 1m at Windsor in July and stepped up again returned to AW at Southwell last time; drops in trip but should give another good account. |

2nd 11 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Beat a subsequent maiden winner when off the mark at Windsor (1m; first-time blinkers) in July but her profile isn't particularly progressive and she has more to do in this company off a 4lb higher mark. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden who has worn various headgear since handicapping, producing form figures of 548; the switch to a tongue-tie needs to prompt progress. |
16/1 |
|
11 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Big prices and well held in both handicaps at about 1m this spring, on AW and at Doncaster but the return to 7f, even if it's a stiff one, looks the way to go; has worn other forms of headgear, visored this time. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |
4/1 |
