18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's edged down the weights for his new yard this season and has been placed off this mark on his last two starts, finishing third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) then beaten just a neck at Hamilton (1m5f, good); back up in grade this afternoon but he might not be far away. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f winner for Ralph Beckett in 2025; has steadily found his form for his current yard this season, posting a good third of eight in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster eight days ago; firmly in the picture stepping back up in trip. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Prevailed in second-time hood at Taunton (2m, good) most recently, adding to his Flat win, and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; in deeper waters today but could go well. |

1st 11 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won a Goodwood maiden for Andrew Balding in June (1m6f, good to firm); improved on first hurdles run when neck second over C&D last time (heavy; hood tried); headgear retained; this faster is ground likely to suit; one with a chance. |
2/1 |

2nd 10 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Useful peak RPR of 94 on the Flat for Andrew Balding; ran to a fair level when last of three finishers on Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) eight weeks ago and should prove capable of better, particularly if a first-time hood helps him to settle better through the early stages than he did on that occasion. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited. |

4th 16 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Acts on good to soft, unraced on soft; fit from AW and hurdling when good second of seven at Redcar (1m2f) five weeks ago, keeping on strongly; up 2lb and into a better race but needs a second look. |
18/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Caught wide when down the field at Lingfield in February on last Flat start and when well beaten over hurdles on his last two runs he was contesting hot 4yo races; on a competitive mark on last summer's Flat form and he was a Listed hurdle runner-up in October; not ruled out back in this code. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Excellent progress last term included three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) in March-July and an agonisingly close call in the Melrose at York in August; close fourth in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot on final outing; well below that form on 2026 reappearance but that may have put him right. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |

Excellent progress included three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) last March-July and an agonisingly close call in the Melrose at York in August; close fourth in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot on final outing; better still is required but his record of improvement demands respect. |
7/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Progressing well, including three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) this season and he went agonisingly close in the 1m6f Melrose at York on latest outing; all 2025 races have been on good or firmer but he won on soft as 2yo; respected for that improvement but plenty more is needed at this level. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Novice winner as 2yo; second in 1m4f course handicap at the end of May but could only manage fifth of six when 15-8 favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) since; up in trip; others are more obvious. |
14/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made just about all when winning an Ayr novice (1m, good) last October and put up his best effort since when second of ten in a Haydock handicap (1m4f, good) three weeks ago (Is I Right and Atlantic Sunset behind); back up 2lb, but subsequent wins by the fifth and sixth give the form some substance; respected. |

Made most and won by a neck in a good scrap at Ayr (1m, good) last October in his second novice event; however, put firmly in his place this term in a Listed event at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) and handicap at York (1m4f, good to firm; made most) one month later; dropped 2lb. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Respectable third to Goblet Of Fire on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May in a first-time visor; perhaps any beneficial effect from the headgear has worn off, as he ran poorly on latest start, but he is now 1lb below his last winning mark (from last July) and the visor is removed. |
14/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good third in first-time visor (retained since) at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month and again ran well at Thirsk (2m, good) last time, when outstayed; last win came on soft ground last July; he's one to consider. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won two 1m6f handicaps last term; back-to-form third with a first-time visor at Newmarket (1m6f) four weeks ago, so he re-enters calculations despite earlier lesser efforts over 2m2f and 2m. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made his debut just over a year ago; firmly on the upgrade when signing off last season with a handicap win at Haydock (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) and following up on his reappearance at Hamilton (1m5f, good; no headgear) where the narrow margin of victory masked his superiority (he overcame trouble); he's up a further 8lb but the improvement could keep coming; James Doyle prefers him over Wathnan's other pair; big player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made debut last May and all six runs were on good ground; maiden winner here who was increasingly competitive coming from behind in his three handicaps, winning in first-time cheekpieces from Ride The Thunder at Haydock (1m6f) in September when last seen; up 7lb, back slightly in trip and no headgear, but he's still one to note. |
7/4 |
|
9 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Made debut in May and all five runs have been on good ground; close third on handicap debut over C&D in July (Pole Star won) and clear second at Sandown (1m6f) last time when failing to reel in the clear leader; there's a suspicion we've yet to see the best of him and his trainer has won two of the last five runnings; could have a major part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good and heavy ground; won off 2lb lower over C&D for Charlie Johnston last autumn and he ran well over hurdles last month, on his second run for current yard; seems tactically versatile and he's in the mix off a workable mark back on the Flat. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn (sold for 165,000gns soon after); 9-2, weakened to finish a well-held sixth of ten in Ascot juvenile (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in January; should be capable of a lot better in this sphere. |
2/1 |
|
6th 8 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Not far off useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn; changed hands for 165,000gns in October; likely to be suited by longer distances in due course but he commands respect on his hurdling debut even so. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Form figures of 121611 in his six handicaps, with 2m aiding the cause at Newbury (good to firm) when he made all in cheekpieces on last two outings; up another 5lb but no shock if he again proves very tough to pass. |
13/8 |
|
8 (7) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sent handicapping this term and has won three of those five starts, last time upped to 2m when making all to justify favouritism with first-time cheekpieces in a five-runner race over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago; raised another 5lb but he's the only 3yo in this field and he's progressing. |
13/8 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Up in trip to score on reappearance/handicap debut in June (Wolverhampton, 1m4f) and doubled his tally when winning at Chelmsford (1m5f, also AW) at the start of this month; beaten on turf over 1m6f (good) either side of that but first time was creditable effort and it was a much better race than this 19 days ago; cheekpieces go on and he should stay this far. |
