7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Minor form in 7f events on Kempton AW and at Epsom; seems unlikely to find the major improvement needed for first-time cheekpieces and handicaps will be a better fit shortly. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

16-1 and never got involved at Kempton a month ago (7f); likely up against it here. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

26,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 7f winner (RPR 83), sister to winners Mr Rumbalicious (2m Flat/2m1f hurdle) and Eye For An Eye (Australian 8.5f); already gelded; drawn wide; trainer yet to strike with 2yos this year; worth noting in relation to stablemate Galileo Island. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improvement was not required when winning a weak 7f maiden here last month (Inspectre 1l behind and 2lb better off today); has since finished last of nine in a Southwell handicap and he could prove vulnerable again. |
9/1 |

9th 8 (1) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up twice in handicaps on turf this term; probably didn't need to improve to win Brighton maiden (7f) last time, his 12th outing, but may remain competitive. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had plenty of chances with him now 0-11 but he brings the best form and cheekpieces are back on after flirting with a visor last time. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries on turf in July (the second in a match) and best subsequent effort when promoted to third over C&D last month; finished last of eight at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, though, and is already due another 3lb drop. |
16/1 |
|
1 (8) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a nursery on his turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in July with first-time visor (retained since) and followed up in a match at Bath (5f, firm) seven days later; has not been in the same form in his three starts since and still to prove he is as effective on AW. |
6/1 |
|
2 (6) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had plausible excuses in Class 5 the last twice, hindered by wide trip back on AW latest; may be better judged on July turf wins that give him a 2-2 record in Class 6; possibilities returned to this level. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Six-race maiden; runner-up at Kempton (7f novice, AW) in June, and third of five at Chester (7f nursery, good) a few weeks later; latest run was disappointing (last of four) and it is slightly disconcerting to see him drop into a seller in hastily applied blinkers; bit to prove. |
4/1 |
|
2 (1) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-5; shaped well when running on for third of five at Chester (7f) on his handicap debut last month, and a heavy-ground defeat at Goodwood since is probably worth forgiving; the step up to 1m could suit and the return to AW is no problem (runner-up here in June). |
13/8 |
|
10 (1) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Now 0-4 but he sat in last of five when third to Sir Albert and Champion Island last time at Chester (7f, good) and was closing on the front two late on; he could easily finish to some effect and make his presence felt if they go hard here. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
12-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on the AW three times for his previous stable (all in cheekpieces which are off today); missed the break and never featured in race won by Distillation at Wolverhampton (7f) 16 days ago; possibilities back up in trip. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-11 for William Knight but placed on five occasions, two of them over C&D; changed hands for 10,000gns earlier this month; each-way shout |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest run, back from a break in a turf sprint, is best overlooked; holds claims on a few of his placed efforts last winter but did look to find this trip stretching him in one previous go (C&D). |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Good run when second at Chelmsford on his nursery debut in December (5f; cheekpieces first time); struggled since and hopes rest on the new tongue tie giving him a lift. |
33/1 |
|
17th 16 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a good second in 5f Chelmsford nursery but he's failed to fire in three runs this year, last of six in 5f Newcastle handicap in February; hood is added after a break. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable second on handicap debut at Chelmsford in December (5f; cheekpieces on for first time) but below that form both starts since; blinkers tried last time but cheekpieces back on here. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
First foal of a 1m winner (RPR 87), herself a half-sister to a winner in France; non-runner due to a bad scope on intended debut at Chelmsford this month; training partnership had plenty of places but no 2yo winner this year; this colt is in the sales next month; market can guide. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Finished last on stable debut here in September, although that was his first run on slow turf; he shaped a couple of times over 7f for Marco Botti as though this trip may be a good fit and he did win a nursery off 5lb higher. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) last August before making a winning handicap debut over C&D (good) five weeks later; last seen finishing a below-form third of seven at Leicester in July, after which he left Marco Botti for 34,000gns and was gelded; mark fine and he's of interest, particularly if the market speaks positively. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored on his AW debut here (7f) in June 2025; has been campaigned exclusively on turf since and won at Goodwood (7f, good) last October; hasn't been in the same form this year and is tried in new headgear (cheekpieces); well-handicapped if he can get his act together back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has failed to improve for a visor but ran respectably last time and is nicely treated assuming the switch to blinkers works a treat; gained sole handicap win off 4lb higher last October. |
20/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over 7f on good/AW last year; reappeared with a promising fourth at Newbury in May, but he hasn't matched that form in three starts since; now drops back in grade but he needs to turn things around. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Kept on well to wear down Foothold close home over C&D four weeks ago, his first run at the trip; should have more to offer and can confirm those placings despite the 1lb worse terms. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 8 (11) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability in his three starts as when fourth of 11 in a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) six weeks ago; may be vulnerable to less exposed rivals in a race like this, though. |

Winless this season but he comes here in good form, not enjoying a smooth passage with fourth of six in 1m3f seller at Goodwood last month; very much one to consider from his low berth. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Nottingham (1m1f) in July; runner-up three times since, beaten a nose in handicap at Southwell (1m3f) last time; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Triple turf winner who bounced back with a creditable second behind an unexposed improver at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can repeat that latest form. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Generally progressive 3yo who held on narrowly at Nottingham (1m1f, good to firm) in July, his third win, and was second off today's mark at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) soon afterwards; big player if able to bounce back quickly from below-par run a fortnight ago. |

8st 13lb |
0-10 but was only beaten a neck in a 0-60 handicap over 6f here when last on the AW in March; has been placed over C&D and is shortlisted dropped to this level for the first time. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He went close off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March and a case can be made on that form but he's been soundly beaten back on turf on his last two starts; now 0-9 and he has to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
11th 10 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Best form when placed twice on Wolverhampton AW; only midfield back on turf (good to soft) last time but may do better back on faster ground. |
