18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Highly tried after winning a York maiden (6f, good to firm) and a Newbury novice (6f, good) last season; gelded in November; disappointing this season; first run at 7f. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Highly tried last term after novice success; never figured in Windsor handicap on reappearance but may fare better with the outing under his belt; check the betting. |
10/1 |

9th 3 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden and a novice last summer before coming up short in stronger company; gelded over the winter; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Newbury last month (6f Listed; 40-1 at the time of withdrawal); this should be more suitable but others bring stronger claims. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran creditably last time when bidding for a 6f double (maiden previously); proving consistent and has form at 5f; in the mix, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough last week at Ripon (6f, good) and the 4lb rise could have been worse as the front two pulled nearly 5l clear; obvious chance in this weak race. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took a big step forward after seven months off/gelded when getting off the mark in C&D handicap 19 days ago; this son of Lope Y Ferndanez can make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |
11/2 |
|
1st 7 (12) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with a second to the reopposing Willowinghurn on 7f Musselburgh handicap debut (soft); may have more to offer in 2026 but the betting is perhaps the best guide as to whether he's likely to be fully primed for this first outing in 196 days (has been gelded). |
10/1 |
|
1 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Third at Catterick (7f, soft) in July on third start then runner-up in maiden over this C&D (good) last time; can give another good account and could be in the mix on nursery debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Fair 1m juvenile maiden; off nine months/gelded before posting a solid fifth of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month, giving the impression he's worth a try over a longer trip; considered. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on for neck second on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last September; soundly beaten at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 11 days later and he's unproven on slow ground, but he reappears having been gelded and remains one to be interested in given the Thirsk effort. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved for the switch to nurseries when a neck second behind Dunkeld Dreamer at Thirsk 11 days ago (1m, good) 1lb better off today but the winner wasn't doing much in front and the placings may not be reversed. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A good start to his career included a Thirsk maiden (5f, good to firm) win in August but his form tailed off (mitigating circumstances) subsequently and he was never a factor when beating one home on his return at Thirsk in April; off since. |
20/1 |
|
13th 7 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made all when beating The Lost Sock by a head over C&D last August; came up short in stronger races twice afterwards but there were mitigating factors; one of three runners for Kevin Ryan. |
14/1 |
|
3 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
The form of his maiden win at Thirsk last month has worked out well (5f, good to firm) and he raced away from the main action when mid-division in sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last time; however, others have more substance to their claims; below best on good to soft ground in July. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bit disappointing in similar event at Newmarket last time but otherwise a broadly progressive colt and can't be written off; ready winner of useful handicap at Newbury (7f, good) in his only other start this term. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won in good style in a big field on nursery debut at York (7f, good to firm) last August and soft ground may not have suited in the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury in October; returned with commanding handicap win at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight ago and holds leading form claims. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt as a 2yo when seeing off 14 rivals at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); improved for the step up to 7f when impressing in an 18-runner nursery at York's Ebor meeting (good to firm); only 5-1 for a Group 3 over C&D when last seen in October but he dropped away late on soft ground that may not have been ideal; could still have more to offer back on a sounder surface. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In the frame on all his three runs as 2yo; visored and failed to improve on his handicap debut when fifth of eight on Southwell AW (7f) in January; cheekpieces fitted with more required after a break. |
14/1 |
|
7 (2) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Just about held on for fourth when sent off joint-favourite for debut at York last month (6f, good to firm); this 360,000gns breeze-up buy is surely capable of better; left in Gimcrack after Tuesday's acceptance stage. |
6/4 |
|
7 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
360,000gns breeze-up 2yo; seventh foal; closely related to winners Byzantium (Listed-placed 6f 2yo; RPR 101) and Senorita Grande (6f AW; 66), half-brother to winners New Road Side (5f including 2yo; 84) and Pak Choi (7f AW; 80); dam 5f winner (81); interesting newcomer for a stable that won this in 2016 and 2017. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gelded prior to showing a bit of improvement in Ascot maiden (soft) in September and he stepped up again on handicap debut when third of seven at Epsom (also 7f, good) three weeks later; this 260,000gns breeze-up purchase might be capable of better yet. |
7/1 |
|
7 (5) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to showing a bit of improvement in Ascot maiden (7f) last time; this 260,000gns breeze-up purchase could take another step forward on nursery debut; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
7 (5) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
260,000gns breeze-up 2yo who has disappointed in two starts; still early days but a gelding operation will need to have made an immediate impact if he's to play a part here. |
