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. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a C&D maiden (good) last July but he's been well held in three handicaps this season including over 7.6f here (soft) last month; still lightly raced but he needs to rediscover his spark back on quicker ground. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Landed 7f maiden here last July; off ten months and has failed to kick on sent handicapping this season, again going freely when last of six at Lingfield (7.5f) 13 days ago; could still do better if becoming more tractable. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
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. |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Newmarket maiden winner for Harry Charlton last August (6f, good to firm); subsequently sold for 90,000gns; best run for the Faheys when third at Chester last time; (7f, good); on a fair mark; a possible. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Left his stable debut well behind when sixth of 22 in traditionally strong York handicap (6f, good) a fortnight ago; the way he kept on in the closing stages suggests this return to 7f may suit; considered. |
9/1 |
|
6th 20 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won Newmarket maiden (6f, good to firm) for Harry Charlton last August on fourth start and runner-up to Advertised at Newcastle (7f, AW) on subsequent nursery debut; well beaten here (7f, good to firm) last month on seasonal and stable debut and something to prove after that, but not written off. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 6f winner at 2yrs; yet to add to his tally this season but has advanced his form, runner-up at York before a good C&D fourth last time out; firmly in the picture again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from 11 starts but he hit a personal best when going close in a 20-runner handicap at York (7f, good) last month; the first three pulled clear in that race and he's strongly respected off only 1lb higher. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 14 (19) |
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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
It took him nine attempts to get off the mark, justifying even-money favouritism in a maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) three weeks ago; however, a case can be made judged on his Listed second at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last October; not discounted. |
20/1 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has form figures of 212 over 7f, with the win in a novice at Kempton in May; built on that with an eye-catching effort back in handicap company over C&D (good) three weeks ago, repeatedly denied a run before finishing strongly for second once in the clear; that form has been boosted in recent days; good shout. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Only fifth on his handicap debut at Ascot (1m, good) before justifying odds-on favouritism in an AW novice over 7f; encouraging to see the second win as he liked next time, so this gelding could be on the upgrade. |
15/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
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. |

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. |
