9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3yo who has worked his way back into form this term and posted a good third at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in May before winning there (6f, good to firm) last month from one who won next time out; also effective elsewhere; respected up 4lb. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Steadily back to form this term, creditable third over C&D most recently; has slipped back to the mark off which his 2yo success was gained; this is a drop in class; therefore interesting on a few counts. |

3rd 9 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent since handicapping and is back around the mark off which he won a Nottingham nursery last August; hit traffic on the return to 6f last time and is one of the likelier winners. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Good effort when second of eight at Wolverhampton (5f) last month, always prominent; runs off the same mark but a bit more will be needed if he is to come out on top. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only beaten just over 2l into fourth of seven on nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) last month, but didn't back it up at Brighton (6f, good) next time; something to prove. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
He was stuck in the placings when running well this spring and again couldn't quite put it to bed when runner-up at Chester (6f, soft; acts on quicker) a fortnight ago; mark is creeping up but it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of it once more. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
More than capable of winning a similar race judged on his three handicap runs this year, latterly a second of 12 in a Class 4 at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good; third-placed horse has won since); handles good to soft but untried on slower; solid contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 12 (6) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Son of Pinatubo who has shaped with promise when third on both his starts this season, not enjoying a clear passage when third of 14 in 5f Beverley handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
6f AW winner in November (form solid) and several good placed runs followed; he has more to prove on turf but he won't be far away if able to transfer his form back to the grass. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Took well to AW when winning a 6f nursery at Chelmsford in November; hasn't always had the rub of the green since but latest C&D second was a good run and he goes off the same mark; big player if he gets away on terms. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since coming up short in Listed grade at York Ebor festival when bidding for 5f hat-trick; return to 6f presents a question mark in this competitive field and William Buick prefers Treanmor; however, cost 1,400,000gns at the Craven breeze-up a year ago and can't be written off. |
7/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
1,400,000gns breeze-up purchase who is 2-2 since dropping to 5f, latterly returning from a gelding operation to make light of an opening mark of 88 in a small-field nursery at Haydock (good); William Buick is on Military Code but this son of Acclamation looks capable of making his presence felt in this higher grade. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Nottingham (6f, good) in June on second start then got the job done at 1-4 there (5f, good to firm) last month; gelded since; cost 1,400,000gns at the breeze-ups in April and could have lots more to offer for his top connections. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins to her name, all on sharp tracks, the latest when making all at Thirsk (5f, good) 19 days ago; the combination of a 6lb rise, other pace and considerably stiffer opposition could leave her vulnerable. |
33/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 5f winner for Simon and Ed Crisford at two; made an encouraging start for new yard after seven months off when fifth of 14 over C&D last month so enters calculations. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won two of her four nursery runs for the Crisfords, including over C&D in September (good ground); improvement necessary to overcome this mark but she can't be ruled out on her first run for Robert Cowell. |
