21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Probably acts on soft; off four months (given wind surgery) before shaping as if back in good form when mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) last month, not getting best of runs and finishing with more to give, which might also be encouraging for this first crack at 1m4f; needs a career best in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/2 |
|
11th 8 (15) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ended his time with Harry Charlton on a high for Pontefract win (1m2f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) last September; had three races in Bahrain in December-March, clearly best of those on first occasion and given wind surgery since latest; needs a career best. |
10/1 |
|
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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just ahead of Warrant Holder in a York handicap last time when neither were at their best; lightly raced 4yo with two 1m2f handicap wins to his name this season and, when second on good to soft at Epsom, he beat all bar a Group horse; stays this far. |
10/1 |
|
9th 1 (20) |
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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

A 1m2f AW winner for Jane Chapple Hyam last year; tailed off in two starts over hurdles so plenty of improvement needed. |

|
18th 12 |
1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |
11st 9lb |
A 1m2f AW winner for Jane Chapple Hyam last year; beaten 29l in a Cork maiden hurdle on stable debut last month; needs plenty of improvement from that; tongue-tie on. |
33/1 |
|
5th 13 |
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. |

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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when comfortably seeing off three rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; a 6lb hike in the weights could leave him vulnerable. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Just six races; came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; 8lb higher today) this May; the latter promised much, which was singularly unfulfilled when hot favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; virtually first off the bridle that day but a return to 1m6f on softer ground today ensures that he remains of major interest. |
7/1 |
|
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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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. |
