25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Successful at Chepstow (good) and Salisbury (good to firm) since tackling 6f; however, had little to spare last time and has something to find on ratings in this better grade upped further in distance. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Close up in the Lily Agnes at Chester (5f, good) on second start and comfortably made all when 11-8 favourite in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good) on latest; has a 7lb penalty against unexposed rivals but he's the pick on form and heading the right way. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Cost 60,000gns at the breeze-ups but he didn't offer much over 6f here (debut) in June, and fared even less favourably at Newbury (6.5f, good; 11th of 13, beaten 34l; first run as a gelding) a fortnight ago; blinkers now applied; risky. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
60,000gns breeze-up 2yo; late foal who faded into ninth of ten in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; 17-2) in June and has since been gelded. |

50,000gns yearling, 60,000gns breeze-up 2yo by Ardad; fifth foal; brother to 6f 2yo winner Najat (RPR 83); dam 1m4f AW winner (97) out of 7.5f/1m winner; late foal but from a leading yard and needs a market check. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Absent 289 days after winning Chester maiden (7f, good) last summer and made no more than a respectable seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Windsor (1m, good to firm) this month; needs that recent outing to have brought him on. |
6/1 |
|
7th 13 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field on his Salisbury debut last June (6f, good to firm); big step forward when winning at Chester one month later (7f, good) and that form has been handsomely franked; gelded in August; 289-day absence to overcome but almost inconceivable that he's not much better than this mark (the placed horses at Chester are now BHA-rated 78, 90 and 93). |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He isn't progressing but there was money for him at Wolverhampton 16 days ago (5f), only for him to be hampered leaving the stalls and then short of room soon after the start, ending up poorly positioned; didn't look straightforward in the home straight though and a wide stall isn't ideal for this free-going colt. |
7/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Finished closer when fifth of eight on nursery debut here (6f, good; 22-1) 13 days ago and he shaped as if moving up in trip would suit; needs markedly better but worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
100,000gns yearling whose well-bred dam was useful; soundly beaten on his three starts (6f, good to firm) and not obviously well treated off his opening mark, but improvement is possible and a market check is advised. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal. |
9/2 |
|
5th 12 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be. |
14/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual turf winner (6f) last summer and he's run respectably from the front at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in his last two starts; should benefit from his reappearance run last month and he's still unexposed at this trip; dangerous with cheekpieces reapplied. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign for Harry Charlton by winning a Newmarket maiden (6f) and running well in Newcastle handicap (7f, AW); sold for 90,000gns and gelded since; likely needs further progress on stable debut. |
14/1 |

1 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All starts at 6f on sound turf; big improvement second run and carried that over on next two starts, culminating with a win in Newmarket maiden (good to firm; Gouken third) in August; should have no problem with 7f and threatens to be very competitive on nursery/AW debut. |
9/4 |
|
3 (2) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sets the standard on the form of his seconds behind respected opposition over 6f at Salisbury and Ffos Las; finished clear of the third last time and the winner ran in a Group 2 last week at Goodwood (well held). |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored on handicap debut at Newbury (6f, good) in August and it was a good return when just failing at Kempton in March; took a big step backwards at Southwell (also 7f, AW) next time, although that was a little out of character so probably worth forgiving. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent since narrowly making a successful nursery debut at Newbury (6f, good) last August, including when beaten a head at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 18 days ago on his return from six months off; 2lb higher but has fewer questions to answer than most of these; major player. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finished second in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, good to soft; Listed) last October, form that would give him strong claims in this field; beaten as 4-9 favourite at Lingfield on his reappearance (6f, AW) but the winner there could be useful; should be involved once again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Son of Galileo Gold who was much improved on his final run in 2025 when second of 15 in Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar in October; holds leading form claims on his Polytrack debut in his bid to get off the mark at the eighth attempt. |
4/6 |
|
14 (13) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 5lb |
Looked a bit unlucky when fourth to Ardisia in nursery at Glorious Goodwood, but since then he's finished well behind Song Of The Clyde in sales races at York and Doncaster; 0-6 and beginning to look exposed. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Saxon Warrior gelding who shaped well in a trio of novices (6f to 1m) before posting a good fifth of 11 on his handicap debut at Ascot (1m) 12 days ago, fading last 1f; the clear form pick. |
5/2 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in novice races on first two starts (6f/7f) and again displayed clear promise when fifth of 25 in Newbury maiden (1m, good) last month, racing prominently throughout; likely contender on handicap debut. |
12/1 |
|
5th 16 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in both outings, gelded prior to good second at Kempton (7f, AW) on reappearance; one of the main form contenders upped further in distance and additional improvement is possible. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won on the July course in the summer and seemed suited by the drop back in distance when beaten only by Anthelia in Salisbury Group 3 (6f, soft; also handles good to firm) two weeks ago; should run her race but faces a stern assignment on form. |
50/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't really kicked on since creating a very favourable impression in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in July; however, she's held in some regard by her top yard (in the Cheveley Park) and, having raced freely in her races, this drop back to 6f might benefit. |
