4th 2 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual novice winner last year and back to form in first-time cheekpieces when not quite getting home over 1m2f last time (runner-up won at the weekend); drops in trip with probably more to offer. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dual novice winner early last summer who's generally strugged in handicaps, including in two runs since being gelded; the drop back from 1m4f should help but this will largely come down to how he responds to first-time headgear. |
10/1 |

11th 3 (10) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two novice wins last May/June (1m2f, good to firm) and back on track when third in handicap at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; down the field at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) since on first run since being gelded but this 4yo remains lightly raced and is not written off. |

3rd 2 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Opened his account at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) last month and bettered that effort when a close third over C&D seven days ago off the same mark; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim is unavailable here, but another effort of that calibre would put him firmly in the mix. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made the breakthrough over hurdles at the seventh attempt, getting the better of the long-odds-on favourite in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm; 6-1) 12 days ago; what that form amounts to is questionable, and this Class 4 contest is much more competitive. |
4/1 |

1st 1 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Edging down weights for new yard; first three of those four runs were here and the second piece of form (2m, good; unraced on softer) gives him a chance. |
11/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Edging down the weights and the return to a more galloping track could help, but his claims aren't compelling based on what he's shown at Chester this year on his three starts for a new yard. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won a small-field maiden last August and he went close in 1m4f handicaps in his final two runs for Ralph Beckett; left that yard for 90,000gns last autumn; struggled on stable debut here (2m, good) in May but he was a fair fourth over the same C&D last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix back in trip. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-race maiden but she had a near-miss with cheekpieces added in a Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; showed a good attitude with that rallying effort and she's a big player off unchanged mark. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never made her debut until April when second at Yarmouth (1m2f, good), which remains her best piece of form; found nothing for pressure on handicap debut (1m2f) but didn't appear unfancied at 7-2 and could be given another chance in new cheekpieces. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Unusual profile, having been pulled up in a Tabley point-to-point last May before reappearing with three quick qualifying runs on the Flat (1m-1m4f, good/good to firm) this summer in cheekpieces; worth putting on market watch now up in trip for handicap debut. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown enough in two runs (7f, good and 1m2f, good to firm) to think he has a future but handicaps will offer him better opportunities after this. |
50/1 |
|
6th 9 (1) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Perfectly respectable debut at Thirsk (7f, good; fourth, 33-1) a fortnight ago; although weak late on there, he moves quickly up in trip, with the fact that his dam was a 1m-1m2f winner allaying some reservations; best watched for the time being. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Third foal; dam 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 82) for yard, from talented family; a market move would be interesting on debut but this Postponed gelding may be of greater interest when tackling further. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
13-race maiden; behind Satyress when fifth at Hamilton (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) last month before finishing second to an improving rival at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) eight days ago; drop in trip won't be an issue and he has each-way claims. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Best efforts have come at around 1m2f; ran okay when fifth of eight in first-time blinkers at Hamilton (1m4f, good) but they went very steady; might get outstayed over this far. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best efforts have come at around 1m2f and he hasn't looked to see it out in a handful of starts over further, latterly in first-time cheekpieces (switches to blinkers tonight) at Musselburgh 11 days ago; on a competitive mark now otherwise. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Geoff Harker; modest form in three runs over 1m/1m2f, all on good to firm; may improve now going handicapping; stable debut; lacks a recent run. |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Slowly away and always behind both starts (1m-1m2f), being sent off at odds of 250-1 over C&D (fifth of six) latest; low level handicapping awaits, so he can't be the solution; look elsewhere. |
100/1 |

5th 1 (9) |
27th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Slowly away and always behind in 1m contest at Wetherby last month on belated debut, achieving very little. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut over 1m3f at Hamilton (first-time blinkers) in July but he's not come near that form in two runs since and switches to the AW and a new trip with plenty to prove; headgear discarded. |
9/1 |
|
3 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in Hamilton contest (1m3f) and soft ground looks a plausible excuse for his poor effort later in July; this 3yo colt remains unexposed. |
11/2 |
|
5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Blinkers added for handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) 11 days ago and he improved to make all in eight-runner race at 25-1, with the first two nearly 7l clear; up 6lb on different ground but should stay and it's likely he will again be able to dictate the pace. |
