19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (1m) in June but only 17th in 7f York handicap since; he needs to get back on track. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
No great strike-rate but a switch to hold-up tactics worked a treat when landing a second career win at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, doing well to get up having not got in the clear until inside the final furlong; a shorter trip and different track mean similar tactics may not be as easy to pull off this time. |

1st 7 (6) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C&D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins in light campaign last season (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm/good) and he easily made all on his reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May; has a 12lb rise to contend with in this hotter race but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; top yard has won this race three times. |
6/1 |

1st 6 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ended last season firmly on the up with gutsy success in 1m4f Newmarket handicap in October; this low-mileage son of Sea The Stars has more to offer in 2026 and is well in the mix despite dropping in trip and up 6lb for his return. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (1) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Gelded in May and firmly back on track with waiting tactics at Redcar (second) and Sandown (last-gasp win) on next two outings, both 1m2f on good to firm; raced more prominently when soundly beaten at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f) on latest outing; needs to resume improvement over new trip. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a second at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; competes off same mark and will be a tough nut to crack if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came in an AW juvenile novice in December 2024; has ran well to be third on both starts this year at Bath and Salisbury; this also represents a class drop and he shouldn't be far away. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 11 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came in a Kempton AW novice in December 2024; has been beaten in eight handicaps since, latest when a place behind Nakaaha when third of six at Bath (1m, firm) last month; no margin for error off this mark but should find a race soon. |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of her three runs in maiden company, winning over 1m1f in May (good to firm); not seen to best effect on her handicap debut at Redcar six weeks ago; cheekpieces now added. |
16/1 |

4 (7) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Displayed a willing attitude, taking a step forward to get off the mark at Lingfield (1m1f fillies' maiden, good; second & sixth have won since); switches to handicapping at an appropriate level, with the possibility of further improvement to come; one to consider. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
20th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Promise on her debut here (1m, AW) in March and she took a good step forward when third of eight at Goodwood on her turf debut 17 days ago; still green there but made some stealthy late headway, leaving the impression this trip would suit; can progress again. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Upped to 1m2f for wins when favourite at Chelmsford (AW) and Redcar (good to firm) on last two outings; up another 5lb and 1m1f may not help, so strongly did he stay on last time, but he is progressing well and has just two to beat; the hat-trick beckons. |
2/5 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent; stepped up in trip, duly obliging at Chelmsford (1m2f Class 5; 85-40 favourite) a fortnight ago; reverts to turf with more improvement necessary (in this higher grade) to double up from a 4lb higher mark; it's possible that the task is achievable though; merits respect. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the frame on both appearances since his underwhelming seasonal/handicap debut in April; needs to find something extra to open his account today but the move up from about 1m may unlock some improvement. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
11-race maiden; only one effort of note since joining Jim Goldie but he drops into his first 0-60 having undergone wind surgery since last seen; interesting to see how strong he is in the market. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden but he's made a positive start for Jim Goldie and stayed on late into fifth in 1m Hamilton handicap 12 days ago; one to consider back up in trip here. |
100/30 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed in a novice and a maiden (both 1m) for George Boughey; low key (0-4, often slowly away) since joining Jim Goldie for 12,000gns; drops into a Class 6 for the first time, though, with cheekpieces added; no forlorn hope. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |
25/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored off 1lb lower in first-time cheekpieces at York (7f, good) last summer and is also suited by Tapeta but we haven't seen him since a low-key run on soft turf in September. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Made a decent start when chasing home a smart rival at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February; has failed to better that, unable to work his way into contention at Thirsk (1m4f; handicap debut) latest; visor newly applied seeking a spark; back in trip from a 2lb lower mark. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Frankel colt who is a half-brother to a middle-distance winner; no progress in three novice/maiden events this year but it's still early days and he's a possible improver now upped to 1m4f on handicap debut; stablemate of Arkinthestars. |
