27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f but gives the impression this return to 5f may prove beneficial and thus looks an interesting contender off a mark 7lb lower than his peak one; proved resurgent behind a stronger finisher at Kempton (AW) last time. |
14/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not matched his 2yo best in two runs this year but he drops into a Class 4 and today's switch to AW could suit; well treated if reviving. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two 6f wins (both on good) last summer but unable to maintain progress and he was tried in cheekpieces last September; never involved on recent comeback at Newmarket but he may come on plenty on just his second run since wind surgery with a tongue-tie fitted. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Upped 2f for his nursery debut at Kempton last month (1m) and made all to record a wide-margin success; beaten favourite at Chelmsford ten days later and now has a 3lb higher mark to deal with; not fully exposed at the trip though and returning to turf shouldn't be an issue. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Failed to threaten in three 6f races on turf but proved a very different proposition when switched to the AW for nursery debut at Kempton where he made all for an easy success (1m); 5lb well in even with a penalty and he did cost 115,000gns as a yearling. |
4/6 |
|
1 (1) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not really threatened in three starts over 6f on turf, but is bred to be better than that and this trip is more in line with his pedigree; market support would be significant on nursery debut. |

3rd 5 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Often ran well in 2yo campaign and he got off the mark on his reappearance in a novice at Redcar (7f, good to firm); it's possible he'll stay this far but there is a question mark on that score, and also one about his current form as he's been well beaten on handicaps on his last two starts. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first victory in 7f Redcar novice on his return in April but he came in a well-held 17th in 7f York handicap 20 days ago; cheekpieces go on for the first time now. |
14/1 |
|
17th 7 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 as 2yo but improved a bit for gelding operation when making winning reappearance in Redcar novice (7f, good to firm; 11-4) three weeks ago; may find a bit more and he's more persuasive than many. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell in May but a 10lb rise proved more than enough to find him out at York since, taking his turf record to 0-9. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (18) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell two weeks ago; however, he's gone up 10lb and his turf form is at a much lower level. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at Pontefract (6f, soft) on his final start last year but bounced back to form on his reappearance with a win over this C&D, making it 2-2 on the AW (gelded prior to that); not discounted off this 2lb higher mark. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
She would have gone much closer with a clear run in a handicap at York (7f, good) last month and a return to front-running tactics bore fruit with a Listed win at Epsom (7f, good to soft) latest; below par on sole previous run on fast ground but she has leading form claims under a penalty. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
AW scorer; 0-5 on turf but ran well in this year's Fred Darling and looked better than the bare form (met traffic issues) in York handicap most recently; this task seems to demand a personal best, however. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Handicap debutante who seems to face a difficult task and has something to prove off a mark that stems from a 7lb rise for her apparent good effort in the Fred Darling; failed to back up that form last time. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ran her best race so far when third of nine over C&D (good) last month; races off the same mark and a similar effort would put her firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
String of ordinary efforts last year and another on her comeback a few weeks ago; this is weaker if anything but she's still hard to enthuse about. |
6/1 |
|
5th 12 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Offered little in her five juvenile runs, just seventh of ten in 7f Newcastle nursery in November; others appeal more. |
50/1 |
