2nd 5 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Juvenile wins came in 6f novices; has held his own in 5f handicaps this year, doing well on the far side when fourth of 27 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) just behind Ten Carat Harry; return to 6f can suit; better claims than most. |
6/1 |
|
4th 20 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He has improved his RPR with each of his four starts, bettering 2yo form when chasing home Black Star Boy at Sandown (5f, good) eight weeks ago; unexposed at the trip but that latest form has taken some knocks and he's up 2lb. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chester (6f, good) last June on second start and comfortably followed up in novice there (6f, good) the following month; absent since and this handicap debut is a much tougher test of his credentials, but he's a bright prospect and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

10th 2 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent at two and his form spiked when winning soft-ground Listed event at Ayr (5f) in September; previously showed he stays 6f and not dismissed on this reappearance/AW debut, albeit easy turf might be more his thing. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded prior to making all and turning over a 1-5 shot in novice event at Lingfield (7.5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; may build on that win and improve further, having raced only three times; interesting handicap debutant. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Third in two starts over 6f at Chester (good to soft) and Hamilton (good) for James Owen last summer; makes his stable debut (same owners) after 31 days off having been gelded in the meantime; market helpful, but is a contender on his debut form in any case. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made a promising start when keeping on for third of ten on 6f Chester debut (good to soft) five weeks ago, with the reopposing Lucky Hero just over 3l behind in fifth; the one to beat with improvement likely. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Good second in sales and Listed races over 6f at York during his 2yo campaign; not in anything like the same form this term, including here, and still needs to prove that he's trained on; record is only 1-12. |
33/1 |
|
12th 6 (21) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two of his best 2yo runs came over C&D, including a Listed second in October (good); however, he's been a long way below that level on both starts this term, most recently in a 5f Listed race here (good) last month. |
40/1 |
|
10th 3 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sole success came in four-runner Hamilton maiden (5f, good to soft) but it was a fine effort when second at 66-1 in very valuable sales race at the Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) and bettered that form when runner-up in Listed event back here (good) in October; floundered on heavy ground next time, however, and down the field in Newmarket handicap on return; work to do even if this track brings out the best in him again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Often ran well in 2yo campaign and he got off the mark on his reappearance in a novice at Redcar (7f, good to firm); it's possible he'll stay this far but there is a question mark on that score, and also one about his current form as he's been well beaten on handicaps on his last two starts. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first victory in 7f Redcar novice on his return in April but he came in a well-held 17th in 7f York handicap 20 days ago; cheekpieces go on for the first time now. |
14/1 |
|
17th 7 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 as 2yo but improved a bit for gelding operation when making winning reappearance in Redcar novice (7f, good to firm; 11-4) three weeks ago; may find a bit more and he's more persuasive than many. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins on the AW at Newcastle and reappeared with a good fourth over this C&D in May; failed to build on that at York (5f, good) last month but now drops in grade. |
4/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of AW handicap wins; returned from five months off with a good fourth at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good); can win more races but perhaps not this one. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (12) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Improved for being gelded and bagged a pair of 5f nurseries at Newcastle late in 2025; back from five months off here but he's still not out of things nudged up 2lb. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Sole win in ten races came on final run of last season in a 5f novice; beaten four times since a gelding operation, no closer than about 4l; cheekpieces replace the visor tried last time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign by shading a tight finish 5f Leicester novice (good to soft) in October; returned with a couple of respectable placed efforts over 6f/5f this spring but ran poorly back at Leicester latest; has a visor added on the back of that and also switches to AW for the first time. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark by a short head in a 5f novice (good to soft) in October and subsequently gelded; two creditable efforts since returning from a break and steps back up to 6f with place claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Third of nine on his debut at Brighton (6f, good) last May but went backwards from that in two subsequent runs last season; still unexposed and now goes handicapping at this new trip but he needs to raise his game after six months off. |

Five-race maiden but she posted a solid effort when third of nine on her handicap debut at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; off since but should be suited by the step back up in trip. |

3 (1) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise when fourth of ten on her debut over C&D (good) in June and when filling the same position at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month, but the return to 5f seemed to find her out at Wolverhampton (AW) nine days ago; nursery debut. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner, who was beaten by a short-head on only other visit (6f) to Newcastle; won off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last October, but his last two efforts were low key - last of nine at Goodwood latest; first-time headgear needs to have a reviving effect. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW and has shown he can threaten off this mark; last run was disappointing but could bounce back, and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Held on to win by a short head at Wolverhampton (7f) in October and went close at Newcastle (6f) next time; gelded prior to finishing fourth of 12 here over 6f on his reappearance and now steps back up to 7f; contender. |
