1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
5-1, impressed when going in at the first time of asking in novice at Haydock (7f, good) last July, showing a good turn of foot; off since but this son of Starspangledbanner remains with plenty of potential. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
52,000gns foal, 160,000gns yearling; tenth foal; Starspangledbanner half-brother to five winners notably Private Matter (5f-7f including 2yo Listed); trainer in fine form with 2yos and he's one to consider on debut, especially if strong in the betting. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won Kempton novice (7f, AW) last September on third start and followed up in warm conditions race at Newbury (1m, good to soft); failed to settle and didn't stay 1m2f in Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket last seen; wind op since and the hood could be a positive on reappearance; chance. |
13/2 |
|
4 (6) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Two seconds followed by a gelding operation and two wins; latest was in a traditionally strong conditions stakes at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, always front rank; unraced on firmer than good; tricky to settle and carries his head high but he's been galloping on at 1m and looks his stable first string on jockey bookings. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded prior to half-length success at Kempton (7f, AW) two weeks ago, taking novice record to 221; this Godolphin runner, who cost 400,000euros as a yearling, is open to further progress. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form from out of the blue in a first-time visor when getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking at Chester (extended 7f, good) five weeks ago; plenty went his way (got a dream run through on the inner after leaders went hard) and wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up. |
16/1 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden who has been out of sorts in his three runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a big turnaround back at this trip; visor added. |
20/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent nursery form features a win at Leicester (7f) in August and close second at York (1m) last time; chance of defying these stiffer terms depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |
|
2 (1) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won three-runner nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in August and ran okay when fourth of eight at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a bigger run today against some unexposed rivals. |
5/1 |
|
3 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close second at Doncaster (good to soft) and game winner at Leicester (good to firm) since switched to nurseries, both over 7f; raised only 1lb for latest performance and may remain competitive. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Improved form in 1m2f handicaps at the other Newmarket course on his first two starts this term, bossing a five-runner race (good to firm) impressively on second occasion; doing the same off this 8lb higher mark in 16-runner race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; 12-1) wasn't possible but he led entering straight until over 1f out and wasn't at all discredited in seventh (Princling fifth); could get run of the race this time and is one to consider. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Useful effort when winning on second start, making all over 7f on Kempton AW last August; a Group 3 next time proved too much, too soon, and he wasn't seen again until making his handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month, where he ran with more promise than the beaten distance suggests; drying ground a help and open to improvement. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Handicap debutant who has to overcome top weight and a near year-long absence but is worth noting if the market speaks favourably; faced a difficult task in the 2025 Solario when last seen; won on AW the time before. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Twice-raced colt who proved game with the hood fitted at Kempton (7f, AW) last time, turning over an odds-on Godolphin runner; may have more to offer in the retained headgear but this is a much stiffer task. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Close fourth over C&D in March and off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May; off 57 days before failing to figure at Wolverhampton (16-1) five weeks ago, but he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May and race may have come too soon when running flat three days later; still unexposed and may be worth another chance after a short break. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Left good-ground debut behind when making all over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; turns out he faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7lb to last weekend's Kempton Group 3 winner Five Ways back there (6f, good to firm again) last month, sticking on for a clear second in a style which suggests this step back up to 7f may help on nursery debut; William Buick retains the ride; considered. |
6/1 |
|
1 (7) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field at Haydock on last month's debut (7f, good) but he left that form behind when a front-running C&D winner three weeks ago (good to firm); he will need to improve again to defy a penalty but that's certainly not out of the question. |
7/4 |

5 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Always in rear and beat just one rival in 7f contest at Haydock, producing a modest RPR; doesn't look an imminent winner. |

Down the field at long odds both starts; needs first-time headgear to have a transformative effect. |

9th 8 (6) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
50-1 when down the field on debut at Newbury (6.5f, good) three weeks ago and he's probably best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£42,000 yearling; first foal; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76) from talented family; gelded; others are more compelling than this Mehmas newcomer. |
