1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 3-6 when winning a C&D handicap (good to firm) last September, making virtually all; gelded subsequently; reappeared with close fourth of eight in conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) three weeks ago and could show the benefit of that outing today; this 4yo is firmly in calculations. |

4th 2 (2) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Back on the up with a bang returned to 7f and ridden positively when ready winner of a handicap at Newmarket (good to firm) last September; subsequently gelded; has the potential for even better this year and his stable is no stranger to success in this, including in the Shadwell silks. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Second leg of novice double came in 1m event on the July course; no further progress in two starts over that C&D since but latest effort suggests this drop back in trip is worth exploring; not written off. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved with each of his three qualifying runs, culminating in a clear second behind a useful rival in Newmarket novice (1m, good to firm) last June; left Charlie Appleby for 80,000gns since; returns after almost a year off but he's bred to stay this new trip and is open to more progress on handicap/stable debut; interesting contender. |

2nd 5 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Half-brother to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov; fourth in a 1m Kempton novice (AW) and 1m2f Leicester maiden (good) six months apart; subsequently gelded; the Leicester form has been boosted but it remains to be seen whether this drop back to 1m is ideal. |
4/1 |

4th 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
360,000gns yearling and a half-brother to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov; posted an ordinary RPR when a one-paced fourth at Kempton in October but now goes beyond 1m and should make a better 3yo. |

11st 0lb |
Showed only minor promise during three-race Flat career and was pulled up (bled from the nose) on hurdling debut at Fontwell in September; tongue-tie added here; not the most obvious answer. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark here (1m4f) in January and added a Chelmsford handicap victory (1m6f) in March; below-par fifth off 7lb higher mark at Southwell (1m6f) last time though so more is needed here. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Successful under Kyle McHugh at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in January and Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month; ran another good race when second of nine off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) nine days ago and has solid claims returned to this trip. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Best efforts, including two wins this year, have all come for Kyle McHugh; maybe unwise to take his latest Chelmsford victory at face value and he'll need more again if he's to overcome a 7lb rise. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, Tapeta) last month, but ran poorly on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) last time (weakening when badly hampered); enough to prove. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last of five at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June in his only start for Kevin Philippart De Foy, but much better when a staying-on third of 13 on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month (met trouble); nicely bred and much respected if stepping forward again. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive, mostly at about 1m and on AW, until posting duck eggs in last two outings; may prove resurgent back down in grade, and pedigree suggests the return to 1m2f is worth a go. |
4/1 |
|
17th 8 (17) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Having been gelded last autumn he enjoyed a good stint on AW, winning twice (1m/8.6f); soundly beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time and he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf, but he remains lightly raced for his top yard and is not discounted under Ryan Moore. |
14/1 |
|
11th 10 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
He has a good record on AW, winning three times and runner-up on his other two attempts; got the better of Dosman at Wolverhampton two weeks ago but he looks held by The Lost King on their Lincoln Trial form. |
