23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who made his debut last May and progressed very nicely, his campaign culminating in Listed third at Ascot (5f, soft) in October; returned with Listed third at Naas (5f, good) where he might have won with a clear run; others have better form but he's unexposed and could have more to offer. |

3rd 7 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider from a yard that has started the season strongly; highly progressive last year, winning a maiden and two handicaps before a close third in the Listed Rous Stakes at Ascot (5f, soft); ground-versatile and, while he has a bit to find on paper, can't be dismissed. |
9/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who continues to raise his game, defying top weight in handicap at Doncaster (5f, soft) three weeks ago in game fashion; may have more in the tank but he'll need it in this higher grade. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Well-bred filly (a half-sister to the 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean) who looked a smart prospect when winning 5f handicap at Sandown (5f, good; shaped well on soft) in July; has not gone on as anticipated in 6f Listed races since, and she's on a retrieval mission here. |
16/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Merely fifth of nine in Listed race at Chester last month but she may not have been suited by the track and this lightly raced 3yo had shown glimpses of serious promise previously; cost 1,000,000gns as a foal and is a half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean; could yet make her mark at this level. |
8/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Had no luck when favourite for the Queen Mary on final start in truncated 2yo campaign; recorded a useful handicap win at Sandown (again over 5f; good) last month on seasonal debut and, having raced just four times, looks open to further improvement; ready for a crack at 6f; respected. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Gained a deserved success at Catterick (5f) in October and resumed from five months off with a good third of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
A third representative in this field for Robert Cowell; came good at Catterick (5f, good) last autumn after several near misses; possibly found heavy ground against him at Doncaster on final start and has since been gelded; not ruled out if ready to do himself justice after a break. |
20/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two minor wins as a 2yo; gained compensation for a string of near misses when winning last week's Catterick Dash (5f, good) in fine style; this will be a very different test of his skillset though and a 5lb rise may find him out; unraced on slower than good to soft. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 5f; successful three times for previous yard and beaten only half a length in both starts for new stable, while leaving the impression this return to 6f is perhaps worth exploring; in-form filly who warrants respect. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three turf wins, including over C&D, for previous yard; close second to Layla Liz when favourite at Wolverhampton (5f) on AW/stable/seasonal debut, doing well having come from a difficult position; could well reverse the placings and go one better. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Unraced on AW but she acts on most ground on turf and both siblings won on artificial surfaces; had some useful 5f form for Mick Appleby last summer but she can give herself plenty to do and may also need to improve to win off a highish mark. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record on the AW reads 1211 and he was impressive when making virtually all over 6f here eight days ago; 5lb penalty and return to 5f shouldn't preclude another big performance. |
11/10 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-3 on the AW when making all at Chelmsford (6f, AW) two weeks ago having been gelded over the winter; 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he has strong claims. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Less exposed on AW than on turf; form in this sphere comprises a success in C&D novice in 2024 and creditable second in Lingfield handicap (5f) on penultimate appearance; gelded since latest; one to consider. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won 5f maiden and novice races as a juvenile; seemingly has limitations in Listed races, twice finishing behind Hold A Dream, albeit beaten about only 2l by that one at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August when coming from well back last time; another tough task awaits. |
40/1 |

17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well when fourth of seven at 33-1 in Listed race at Sandown in June (5f, good to firm; Hold A Dream second) but she's finished down the field otherwise this season, most recently back in a handicap at Sandown. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Made a winning debut at Ascot (5f, good) last May and she also ran well in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting; returned after a lengthy absence this season but she's been well held in handicaps at Goodwood (5f, good) and Kempton (6f, AW); still unexposed and now drops back in trip but she has some questions to answer. |
20/1 |

3 (3) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning debut at Ascot last May (5f, good) and she also ran well in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting; absent for 11 months prior to a never-dangerous seventh at Goodwood 18 days ago; dropped 2lb but she needs improvement for the step up to 6f. |
