17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Nearly all races at 1m+ but he travelled well before winning his first 7f handicap, at Thirsk in September, beating one who was well in under a penalty, pair clear; not clear run on Southwell AW since but looks capable of better back on turf. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over further but proved suited by the return to 7f at Thirsk most recently, opening his account at the 21st attempt; another win is far from inconceivable kept to this distance. |

1st 3 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He's 0-20 but he went too freely without his usual hood after six months off when fifth of six in 8.5f Wolverhampton AW handicap 13 days ago; can take a step forward now in refitted headgear. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win (from 25 attempts) came 18 starts ago in May 2025; she didn't run badly off her reduced mark at Stratford recently but needs something extra if she's to snap her losing sequence today. |

3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win from 24 starts was in a maiden hurdle last May; runner-up in a Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) this spring but she's not gone on from that was well held back on the Flat last time; tongue-tie is now tried and she needs to raise her game back in this sphere. |

4th 4 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over hurdles but a modest Flat maiden for Brian Ellison; comes here in good nick over hurdles for new yard, sixth at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; not out of things back in this sphere. |

17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Filly by Postponed; beaten over 13l when third to a 1-14 shot in a Ripon maiden on debut (1m3f, good; 66-1); not sure the drop in trip will suit. |

4yo by Postponed; third foal; dam placed 7f AW (RPR 67), sister to 5f 2yo winner Fangfoss Girls and 6f winner Neduardo, closely related to 7f-1m4f winner What Usain, out of half-sister to Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner Doric Charm; best watched on debut. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Son of Dark Angel landed 1m Carlisle novice in July but failed to build on it on his handicap debut when only eighth at Haydock (1m) 32 days ago; hood is reached for now. |
25/1 |
|
9 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has run just three times and he rallied to win at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) when last seen in July; hardly looks thrown in for today's handicap debut but he's unexposed and could find the necessary improvement to follow up. |
5/1 |
|
7 (11) |
10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Promising start when third of 11 here over 7f in May (good to firm) but he couldn't build on that when fourth of 10 at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago; slower ground would be an unknown but he is related to soft-ground winners. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and gained his fourth success when landing a 2m1f handicap in first-time cheekpieces (discarded today) last month on his final start for Brian Ellison; 3lb higher on this stable debut and he's won his only previous start on the AW. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations. |
7/4 |

5th 9 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June and has gone close in handicaps on his next three starts (including on good to soft), most recently behind subsequent Cambridgeshire runner-up Indalo in the Racing League at Southwell (1m, AW); this progressive 3yo is firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won Beverley maiden in June on his fifth start and has gone close the next twice, most recently beaten a neck in Racing League at Windsor (1m) a fortnight ago; has a 5lb rise to defy but this 3yo was clear of the third last time and is in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |

Unplaced in 12 starts and recent efforts don't suggest much is about to change; application of cheekpieces needs to make a big difference. |

17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise in maidens last term but best run when runner-up in Goodwood nursery in August (7f, good to firm; bilnkers on for first time); has been bit disappointing on both runs since, although beaten only 7l when sixth of eight in a Newmarket handicap on reappearance last month (7f, good to firm; no headgear); blinkers left off again; a possible down in grade. |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Showed plenty of promise last summer including a near-miss in a nursery at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm); flopped in his final run last season and has been gelded since but he still has potential after only five runs and needs checking in market on return; blinkers worn for last two starts are removed. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

The least exposed of these; very modest form in three qualifying runs around this trip but it was a good Chester maiden she was beaten in last time and that represented a step forward; not dismissed on handicap debut. |
7/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Only made her debut last month and well beaten in three starts over 7f/1m on turf; needs to improve for the drop in grade and switch to the AW. |
