25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Absent and gelded since neck success in C&D maiden (good to firm) last June; his form has substance and further improvement is plausible; interesting on handicap/seasonal debut. |

Hooded both starts to date, improving plenty on his Polytrack debut effort when coming away with a long odds-on favourite (stablemate of Headmaster's) at Nottingham; flattered to get as close that day but remains open to improvement. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Two 7f wins in Britain last year for Willie Haggas included final start in Newbury handicap (soft) in first-time tongue-tie; bought for 48,000gns and okay comeback run (tired late on) behind a stablemate at Naas last month for which he is entitled to come on for but has a bit to find with several of these on that run. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
9st 1lb |
One of three for yard; won two for William Haggas, a 7f Haydock maiden (good) and a 7f Newbury handicap (soft) on his final run for that yard in October; bought for 48,000gns later that month and the market can guide on first start for new yard. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
7f maiden winner at Haydock in July (good ground); handicaps have proved more challenging since but he ran okay given he was trapped wide at Kempton last time (1m); tongue-tie now tried; still to prove he wants slow ground but in good hands and could yet find a surge of progress. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ran five times for the Gosdens, winning a maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good) last July; no threat when sixth of ten at 9-1 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) but this well-bred 4yo may have needed that run and is just the type his new trainer does very well with; a possible. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Placed on soft and fast ground in his first three maidens (7f/1m) before landing the odds with comfortable win at Yarmouth (7f, good) in July; made favourite for handicap debut but weakened to finish ninth at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy; Knights Gold third) a fortnight later; bought for 21,000gns in October and subsequently gelded; retains plenty of potential ahead of this seasonal/stable debut. |
9/2 |
|
16 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Placed on soft and fast ground in his first three maidens (7f/1m) before landing the odds with comfortable win at Yarmouth (7f, good) 15 days ago; this is a very different test on handicap debut but he's progressive and bred to be smart; one of two runners for the Gosdens and he needs a close look. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Ran a fine fourth (hooded) following an awkward start over this trip at Windsor on debut, form that has been franked by subsequent wins of the runner-up and third; should come on for that run and a player switched to AW. |
5/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |

Went for 65,000euros at the breeze-ups last spring; goes in a hood on her belated debut and is likely best watched. |

21st May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Showed plenty of ability in two starts over 1m on turf for Andrew Balding last summer, the form of both races working out extremely well; changed hands for 85,000gns soon afterwards and makes his debut for his new yard after 11 months off having been gelded and with the hood removed; out of an AW winner; worth a market check. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-race maiden; beaten favourite switched to handicap level last time (1m2f) but is bred to do better still, being related to a few winners for his owner, and can't be written off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Positives to take from each of his three starts over 1m in novice/maiden company; it looks as if he'll come into his own over 1m2f+ and the fact his sister Miss Dolly Rocker won at up to 1m4f bodes well; interesting handicap debutant; hood no longer deemed necessary. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown some promise when mid-division at Windsor (1m, good/good to firm) on his first two starts, both last month; may not come into his own until tackling further but still has an each-way chance today. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-12; beaten only 2l when fifth of 11 here over 7f in a classified event in February but he's not backed that up in two starts since; well held in five starts on turf and others are preferred. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
11-race maiden but he was beaten only 2l at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January and again there over 7f in February (classified events); his latest effort is worth forgiving (wide trip) but he has struggled in four starts on turf. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (10) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo with a patchy record, although he was beaten only 2l when fifth in a similar race at Lingfield under Jack Dace last time; each-way shout with a repeat of that form. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed; mainly modest form, best run when fifth of nine in a Nottingham maiden fillies' event last time (8.5f, good); tailed off on only previous AW start, but is a half-sister to Group 3 UAE 1m dirt winner, so the return to this sphere is worth exploring and longer trip (by Teofilo) should suit; contender on handicap debut. |
9/2 |
|
7 (2) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
100,000gns yearling who was beaten a long way when 28-1 for debut (AW) in November; bit better after wind surgery and 224-day break when eighth of 11 with a first-time tongue-tie at Windsor (1m, good to firm; 200-1) in June; still early days for respected yard. |
25/1 |

8th 11 (2) |
30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
100,000gns yearling who started 28-1 on her Tapeta debut last November, when beaten a long way; since undergone wind surgery and sports a first-time tongue-tie; market useful after such a layoff. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sister to Listed-placed 1m-1m2f winner Sinjaari (RPR 115); finished in rear at big prices in three qualifying runs but she wasn't beaten far at Kempton (1m) on her second start and that was promising; looks a possible improver now switched to a handicap and she needs watching in market. |
13/2 |
|
9th 10 (7) |
30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Huge prices for two Kempton runs last backend, showing more second time in a maiden that's produced its share of winners; this looks tough enough back from eight months off and handicaps are probably next in line. |
33/1 |

9th 6 (1) |
6th Nov 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

100-1, slowly away and never in contention in a 7f novice here three weeks ago; should do better in time but not easily recommended. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |

Opening Tapeta third in March solid enough but he went backwards from it when well behind Antipodes at Nottingham; goes in first-time blinkers off the back of that and may be one for handicaps after tonight. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Too Darn Hot colt who made a promising start to his career when third of nine in novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March; open to progress three months on with the yard going well. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 1-12 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he's held his form with three creditable efforts since; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
4th 13 (11) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 1-11 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he was a close third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last time; 3lb higher here but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims back in trip; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when comfortably seeing off 11 rivals in a 7f handicap at Southwell (AW) last month; solid fourth at Musselburgh since and he shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to 1m; arrives in better form than many; cheekpieces given another go; major player. |
