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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who made it two wins for the year when scoring easily at Chester (10.3f, good) in May then finished second of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, albeit no match for the highly progressive winner; yard has won three of the last seven runnings and he could be a contender. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 4 (15) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Appeared to act on good to soft last term (unraced on soft); has gone from strength to strength this year, first on AW but most strikingly when returned to turf for a dominant, front-running display as 10-11 favourite in 11-runner race at Chester (1m2f, good); 9lb higher today but highly respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-11 on the Flat but won his final race for Jane Chapple Hyam, over 1m2f on the AW in January; quite useful in that scene and changed hands for 82,000gns; now gelded. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
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. |

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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best efforts from his five handicaps were on last two starts when third at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) and beaten a head at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm); back up 2lb but his first win should not be far away. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hasn't had a lot of racing and probably his best effort yet in handicaps when a 4l third at Goodwood a month ago (1m1f, good to soft); he still doesn't look on that generous a mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Beaten between 6.5l and 11l in his three handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) and has only dropped 5lb; doesn't look a winner waiting to happen. |

7th 5 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made debut in June 2025 and has had just five races (beaten a neck on good to firm on second start); came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; Plage De Havre third) on reappearance this May; up 8lb but retains significant potential. |
6/4 |
|
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. |

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 |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C&D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist. |
5/1 |

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. |

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. |
