2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has been described as a challenge by connections but he's a talented one and the drop to 5f suited when beating a smart rival (later runner-up at the Breeders' Cup) in a Group 3 over C&D (good; won a novice on good to firm) in October; nothing special on his recent return here but he was eased when his winning chance had gone and the return to 5f can suit; much respected. |

8th 13 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to prevailing narrowly in the Cornwallis (5f, good; Group 3) on final 2yo start, taking record on the Newmarket tracks to 3-3; effective over 6f and looks open to further improvement; carries 3lb penalty; respected kept to this venue in first attempt against his elders. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Gelded since flopping in AW Group 3 last time; recorded novice wins on the July course (6f) in last two turf attempts, leaving the impression he'll cope with this drop in trip; may do better still. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-10; runner-up in two of his last three races, failing to get a clear run when a close second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) two months ago; on a positive trajectory but with more required from 4lb higher. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear when third at Doncaster (good to soft) and second at Nottingham (good) this spring; enters the reckoning on that form and he may have had stamina issues over 1m4f in a Class 4 at York last time; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Gained first win over 7f on Lingfield AW in January but he hasn't been finding much over that trip on Tapeta and turf for new trainer; however, the return to 6f looks worth a go. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut. |

Brings the worst form, having achieved very little in both runs. |

10th 5 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
28-1 and offered little short-term promise when last of six (beaten 23l) on his Newmarket debut ten weeks ago (6f, good to firm); up in trip with cheekpieces added. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

£75,000 yearling; brother to 5f/5.7f winner Swift Asset (including 2yo/Bahrain; RPR 101); unraced dam out of 5f Listed winning sister to useful 1m winner The Illies; tongue tied on debut; market helpful. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Narrowly landed a C&D maiden a year ago, but failed to beat a rival on his return from 111 days off at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) in February and has been off another seven months since; has enough to prove for now. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (6f, Polytrack) on his third start but was unable to get involved on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) since; drops 1lb but on that evidence is not on an obviously lenient mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won C&D novice then close up in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (5f) last July before losing some momentum; gelded since and was never nearer than at the line on his Newmarket comeback (6f, good to firm) in May; open to improvement and no surprise to see him involved. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
6f novice win at Windsor last July before appearing to improve when fourth in the Group 3 Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; form hasn't worked out at all); struggled thereafter and he makes his seasonal/handicap debut off a tough mark; has been gelded since last seen. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (14) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game. |
11/1 |
