20th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
110,000gns half-brother to three winners, notably Enfjaar (7f-1m2f; RPR 117); 20-1 for novice here (1m, soft) last October but won that nine-runner race in impressive style from off the pace; finished last of five in Group 3 at Sandown (1m2f, good; 3-1) on reappearance in April but it's still early days and he sets a high standard back in calmer waters; strongly respected on first run since being gelded. |

110,000gns Almanzor half-brother to three winners, notably Enfjaar (7f-1m2f; RPR 117); 20-1 for novice at Newmarket (1m, soft) last October but won that nine-runner race in good style from two pretty useful rivals, coming from off the pace to lead well over 1f out; that was a striking debut. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
0-11 on the Flat and has been contesting low-grade handicaps at about 2m; unlikely to be winning this on hurdle debut. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Started off for Mike Sowersby with three good runs last autumn (all 2m, Tapeta) but his form then dipped and he's returning from a lengthy break; remains a maiden. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden; started off for Mike Sowersby with three good runs in the autumn (all 2m, Tapeta) but form has dipped recently and he's out of the weights in this higher-grade race; needs help from the new cheeekpieces. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Solid third at Newmarket (1m2f; form has substance) in latest turf start; gelded since; leading player on the figures and Toby Moore rode two winners for the yard last week. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Quite weak in the betting for his 1m2f novices at Nottingham and on the July course and was comfortably held on both occasions; Mothecombe could be the yard's main hope. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D novice (good to firm) for William Haggas last July and was third of 19 in a York handicap (10.3f, good) in his final run last season; well held on stable debut at Lingfield last month but he shaped as though he needed the run and that form has been well advertised by the first two since; dangerous if he can get back near best. |
9/1 |

7th 2 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent for William Haggas and he made all to land Leicester novice (1m2f, good to firm) in July; signed off for that yard with creditable third of 19 at York (10.5f, good; not clear run) off this mark in October; secured for 140,000gns a fortnight later and subsequently gelded; a player on stable debut/reappearance. |
