1st 7 (1) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Solid in three handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and despite being beaten about 7l last time the headline-grabbing winner took up over six of them; looks likely to make his presence felt. |
5/2 |
|
3 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Competitive in two handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and his Hamilton conqueror last time was unexposed; has a race in him off this mark and he's proven on soft ground. |
9/2 |
|
5 (2) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Only 3l away in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup before coming from off the pace to win a Sandown maiden by 3l (1m2f, good to firm); strong in the betting for a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth where the ground was soft and he endured a wide trip; remains of interest. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on the AW since returning in February, easily justifying short odds at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March; no problem with the return to turf having won over this trip at Haydock (good) last August; can take a hold, but may settle better in this big field and he remains unexposed; a player. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Solid efforts in defeat in his first three handicaps, before taking his form to another level when winning a six-runner race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; he was 1-2 that day, made most and won in good style; 8lb higher and not nearly so well drawn but this could still be a good mark. |

9st 6lb |
0-10 but he's been runner-up on his last three starts, most recently when bumping into a subsequent winner over this C&D 28 days ago; solid claims with the cheekpieces retained. |
5/1 |
|
7 (12) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort who is 0-7, but after a few disappointing efforts he bounced back when fourth of 13 at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month (winner has gone in again since); could go well. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Showed some promise in qualifying runs at up to 1m2f; has yet to distinguish himself in handicaps but the ground was soft in his one attempt at this level on turf and perhaps he'll do better back on good ground. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Steady progress in three novice/maiden runs but he has finished down the field in three handicap runs; eased 6lb but hopes appear to rest on the drop back to 1m giving him a lift. |
10/1 |
|
9th 8 (2) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Five-race maiden who has finished midfield in two 1m2f handicaps; should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind him but improvement is required for the new, longer trip. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Juvenile hurdler whose consistent form features two wins over 2m1f at Fontwell; ran creditably in 4yo handicaps at Sandown and Ascot the last twice; gives the impression he's ready for a crack at this new trip; likely player, taking on elders who are largely exposed. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
2-4 over hurdles, the wins coming on good and heavy ground at Fontwell; dropped 1lb for finishing a 3l third on handicap debut at Sandown (soft) and there was enough in that run to believe he's handicapped to win again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in October before Listed fourth at Wetherby; back on the scoresheet at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in December albeit looked booked for second prior to Turenne's final-flight fall; improvement is necessary now tackling a handicap but can't be ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Fair form all five starts but well held in his two handicaps (1m2f) and may not yet have come far enough down the weights. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has shown fair form to date, posting a respectable fourth of nine on his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f) in September; he may do better still on his seasonal return. |

1st 10 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Made his debut only last June and has had just four races; long odds-on for 1m4f novice win in August and best form when second of six to Sing Us A Song on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, again good to soft; came from the back) in September; probably still a work in progress at that stage and he starts 2026 (for in-form yard) with significant potential. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for June's debut (1m2f) when second and recording a very useful RPR at Doncaster (also good to firm) the following month; wasn't overly impressive when off the mark at cramped odds at Ffos Las (also 1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago but did look better the further he went and this step up in trip is surely a positive; handicap debut. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved for June's debut run at Sandown when upped in trip and going close at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month; his dam was a Group 3 winner and he holds leading claims for his top yard. |

10st 2lb |
Second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last November, having attracted support; 25-1 when eight of 12 in maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) when next seen 11 days ago, still disputing the lead 2f out; the market moves have proved a good guide so far. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
4yo gelding who showed clear promise with close second at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last November, having attracted support; again it's worth heeding the market signals. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

Dual novice winner who was second (no match for the winner) in a C&D Racing League handicap before not appearing to stay 1m6f at Haydock (Class 2); remains of interest. |
4/1 |
|
4 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in July on second start and followed up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); no match for Circus Of Rome on handicap debut at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) recently but did well to beat the remainder and is 9lb better off with the winner this afternoon; could be suited by the step up to 1m6f and he's one to consider. |
11/2 |

7 (9) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

Made debut in June and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) on second start before following up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); this well-bred Frankel colt has potential off his opening mark; player on AW debut. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November, his tenth start; not seen again since but has a favourable draw and could plausibly have untapped potential over middle distances on turf. |
8/1 |
|
5 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-4 for Dermot Weld and 0-4 for current yard; best this term when staying on well for close third at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in July, despite hanging; it's possible to make excuses for his two starts since (AW debut on latest) and a return to form would give him a big shout; taken out of a soft-ground race at Leicester yesterday. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third over hurdles at Taunton (extended 2m, good) in March but failed to match that level on starts either side; cheekpieces are now applied for handicap debut and, while his jumping has lacked fluency at times, he's hard to dismiss representing top stable. |
9/2 |
|
7th 13 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 0-4 on Flat for previous yard; has lacked fluency in two attempts over hurdles (2m) but managed to run well, clear third, at Taunton latest; may take another step forward, especially if jumping better. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Well related (including as half-brother to a useful jumper) but 0-4 in these colours on Flat for Roger Varian, modest form in his closest finish; weak 11-2, 33l sixth of nine in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury (2m, good to soft) for new yard last month, looking best watched for the time being. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-race maiden who has failed to back up debut effort; never figured in C&D handicap most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
14/1 |
|
9 (7) |
14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fair form at Newbury (1m, good) in April on debut but soundly beaten both starts since, 20-1 at Sandown last time when trying 1m2f (there are stamina influences in his pedigree); unconvincing for this handicap debut but it's a bit too early for the debut run to be forgotten. |
