9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Last of seven in 8.5f Beverley maiden 15 days ago; ventures into handicaps now with plenty more required. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Beaten 22l and 12l in maidens at Doncaster and Leicester; probably one for handicaps. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Keen early and weakened to be beaten 22l at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 22-1); the hood is retained and he's since been gelded; enough to prove. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
7f winner at Thirsk (soft) in September and he was back in that sort of form when close third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; sire and damsire both influences for stamina but this marked step up in trip is still a little surprising. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and reappeared with promising third there (7f, good) in April; kept on for fifth over this C&D (good) three weeks ago in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently, and the first-time hood may not have suited (left off today); possible player. |
9/2 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage son of Golden Horn who got off the mark at Thirsk (7f) in September; resumed from seven months off with a good third of 13 in another 7f handicap there 27 days ago; could do better still back up in trip with a hood fitted and rates a player. |

1st 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Came second in a low-grade handicap hurdle in May but his two Flat wins for William Haggas last year came in plating company and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark in this sphere. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Needed sellers to win on the Flat for William Haggas; four runs over hurdles, the standout being his 7l third in a juvenile race at Stratford; struggled since, latterly on handicap debut. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Signed off for William Haggas with a brace of selling wins (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat late last summer; three goes over hurdles but his fair third at Stratford (about 2m2f, soft) in March wasn't matched either side of it; will need to have his Stratford hat on for this handicap debut but it's still early days and that's possible. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Green on both starts for Harry Charlton but there was some encouragement in his fifth of seven at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on the second of them; has since changed hands for 14,000gns and joined a shrewd stable; not ruled out, especially if the market speaks in his favour. |
14/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Barely sighted when 50-1 for a 1m maiden at Newbury and sported a hood that day as well; hard to trust after that start, but has been gelded in the meantime. |
10/1 |
|
4 (9) |
12th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
70,000euros yearling; first foal out of a Spanish 7f-1m winner, half-sister to winners High Strung (Listed-placed 8.5f 2yo) and Pour Vous (1m4f/1m7f); somewhat offputting to see headgear on from the outset. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards but holds weak claims on his efforts for current stable; campaigned mostly at about 1m and has enough to prove back up in trip; blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn last time. |
25/1 |
|
9th 6 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Successful for two previous yards but holds weak claims on his two efforts for current stable; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
33/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all for both wins at around 1m on turf last year, each for a different stable; has run well on Tapeta, but Polytrack remains a question and he will need to do better than on his debut for this yard at Bath 15 days ago. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
First foal; dam was placed over 7f on the AW (RPR 67) and closely related to 7f 2yo winner Jacqueline Quest (relegated to second in 1,000 Guineas); gelded ahead of his debut but needs checking in the betting. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has shown some ability in a couple of maidens in the north; bare form is modest but he's the least exposed contender and may be capable of improvement. |
12/1 |
|
7 (6) |
24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
£18,000 breeze-up buy; never that dangerous at Thirsk (7f, good), beaten about 10l; best watched for now. |
25/1 |
