18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is 3-10; gelded prior to reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW; looked better than ever) and had an excuse (raced in unfavoured group) when never landing a blow in the Victoria Cup over C&D since; could go well, provided this race pans out better. |

17th 14 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to justifying favouritism with 1l success at Kempton (7f) on AW/seasonal debut, opening his handicap account and taking overall record to 3-9; this Wathnan Racing runner may well be capable of further improvement; ties in closely with Mudbir on Sandown running last July; major contender. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Good efforts in 7f handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood last July; had excuses at Doncaster when last seen; been gelded since; on a good mark but this free-going sort could do with settling better. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Quite a useful sort but has a stronger record at Meydan than on home soil and came up well short when an outsider in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot most recently; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
16th 22 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Quite a useful sort but has a stronger record at Meydan than on home soil and his limitations were rather exposed, even allowing for a tricky draw, in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; wears first-time tongue-tie; something to prove back in a British race. |
40/1 |

6th 8 (8) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Did well at Meydan earlier in the year (7f/1m) and was a close third at Sandown (7f, good to firm) last month but he didn't really fire at Newmarket (third of six) last time; that took his record to 1-10 and others are more persuasive. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Form figures of 121 to start his career in the spring, including a 1m win off this mark at Goodwood on handicap debut, but he's not lived up to that; gelded before penultimate start, which was a fair effort at Ascot, but he did not show much at Ayr on latest (both on soft). |
14/1 |
|
11th 9 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Spring performances over 1m (121) represented a very solid start to his career; came up well short in a pair of strong 3yo-only handicaps in the summer but back on track after a gelding operation when fourth of 11 at Ascot (7f, soft) 15 days ago; that was his first outing for two months so he might come on for it; not discounted. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his seven starts; sent off the red-hot favourite for Ascot's Victoria Cup last month but he failed to fire, finishing 22nd of the 28 runners; gelded soon after and he remains capable of better. |
5/2 |

32 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb
|
Reserve; hindered by traffic issues in his final start of an otherwise progressive 2025 season that featured a Glorious Goodwood win (7f, good to soft); disappointing favourite in the Victoria Cup over C&D on reappearance but has possibilities if a physical tweak (gelded since) works a treat. |
9/1 |
|
22th 16 (19) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Well-bred colt whose record of 3-6 overall and 2-3 in handicaps (7f) features a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood; hindered by traffic issues at same venue when last seen (effort best forgiven); cheekpieces worn that day are retained; beat Defence Minister by half a length at Sandown last July; still open to further progress and remains of strong interest. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Developing into a useful 7f filly and did well to win at Chester (good) on seasonal debut, having been drawn wide and come from quite a difficult position; below-par favourite at Epsom on softer ground since but it may be best to forgive that effort; still of interest. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who can be difficult to settle but ran well in some quality handicaps last summer (including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and reappeared with a win at Chester (7f, good) last month; prevailed despite a wide draw and she could still have more left in the tank. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (11) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Sometimes races too freely, including when last seen, but otherwise a progressive 7f filly and her form includes good efforts in difficult circumstances at two major festivals last August; remains of interest. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win a handicap but not for a lack of effort and he ran well for second over C&D last month; perhaps stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last month and he is one to take seriously back down in trip. |
3/1 |
|
11th 8 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) a year ago, but is back off the same mark as when beaten half a length over C&D (good to firm) in May; soft ground not a problem and each-way claims if reproducing that form. |
12/1 |
|
3 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
6f AW maiden winner who seems to stay this trip; not at best on last three starts (hung left returned to AW last time) and will have to fare better if he's to win this. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained both handicap wins in tight finishes at Class 3 level, including at Redcar latest start; may well come up short in this better grade, for all that he receives weight all round. |

1st 1 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
3-9; didn't enjoy much luck when sent off one of the market leaders for the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month, but ran his race when beaten just over a length into fourth of 13 over the same C&D (good) a fortnight later; one for the shortlist down another 1lb. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Talented on AW and had more in hand than the narrow winning margin suggests when arriving late on the scene at Wolverhampton (about 1m) in November; was carried out of his ground when starting a forward move over C&D (good to firm) recently and has to be of interest in this lower grade. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won in spite of some errant tendencies on his 2yo debut last July (6f, good to firm); struggled in a Group 2 next time and two handicap runs this summer (after a gelding operation) haven't been chock full of promise; edging down the weights but others look more appealing. |
16/1 |

8 (2) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Slowly away and never involved on reappearance kept to 6f, making it two defeats since debut win; may rebound at some stage but pedigree suggests he's not screaming for this extra furlong. |
16/1 |

1 (7) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Overcame evident inexperience to win a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) on his 2yo debut last July; last of nine in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood when last seen 314 days ago; gelded prior to his reappearance/handicap debut; unexposed. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Having dropped a long way in the weights she looked about ready to strike when third of eight at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but she ran poorly back there (1m4f, good) 17 days ago; enough to prove after that. |
14/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
AW novice winner in October 2024 but she's mostly struggled since finishing seventh in the Nell Gwyn last year; has tumbled in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when third here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) 18 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
She made a promising start to her career and has tumbled down the weights, but she's struggled to get competitive this season and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied hood. |
