6th 12 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
In fine form since joining George Boughey, gaining a third AW win of 2026 at Lingfield (6f) in April; posted another good effort with third of 11 (a place behind Marcellinus) over C&D 12 days ago; must enter calculations. |

3rd 1 (12) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progress on AW this year features three wins; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, only midfield at Hamilton; bit to prove. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (14) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoyed an excellent winter on the AW, scoring three times at 6f, and comes here on the back of a good third of ten in 6f Lingfield handicap 19 days ago when not enjoying the smoothest of passages; can play a prominent role again back on turf. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Seven-race maiden for two different yards and he was well below form at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; dropped another 3lb but he's been up and down so far and others are more convincing; stablemate of Guernsey Lady. |
6/1 |
|
7th 9 (10) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Six-race maiden for two different yards but he ran into some trouble when a fair third in Ffos Las handicap (5f, good to soft) last month; dropped another 2lb and he could be dangerous on this step back up in trip. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising runs for David Menuisier whom he left for 9,000gns; gelded ahead of stable debut at Wolverhampton where he was beaten 7l in a small field; may have needed that after a lengthy break and there are races in him. |

7th 10 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Modest eight-race maiden; his C&D second last month was a remote one and he has since finished down the field at Southwell; others bring stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his first placing when second to an easy winner at Wolverhampton 11 days ago (6f); more will be needed back at 5f but this is uncompetitive. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Never threatened in two nurseries and again with blinkers tried at Lingfield 13 days ago; a tongue-tie is now added. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
No match for the winner in a small field at Lingfield last time when in new cheekpieces but his record here (2-2) heightens interest. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained both wins in 5.2f Brighton nurseries last summer; close second of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month, his second start this season, but didn't fire at Windsor a fortnight later; needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces and prove himself on an AW surface. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good) in June and short-headed by Naana's Shadow over this C&D (good) seven days later; not beaten far when sixth then fifth in big fields at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good to firm) on his last two starts; in with an each-way shout. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form over 5f and although he paid a high handicapping price for a wide-margin Redcar win in June, he so nearly overcame the 8lb rise at York next time against Naana's Shadow; had more to do at Ascot (good to firm) after but produced another sterling effort in a close sixth of 15; solid claims back against his own age group. |
13/2 |
|
6th 13 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Gained first win over 7f on Lingfield AW in January but he hasn't been finding much over that trip on Tapeta and turf for new trainer; however, the return to 6f looks worth a go. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in August on third start; finishing sixth of 14 at Lingfield (7f, AW) recently on his second nursery start and shaped as though he may benefit from this return to 6f; not ruled out each-way. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best run when winning a 7f Chelmsford maiden (AW) in August; pulled too hard when last of six over 1m on handicap debut last time; interesting back at 7f. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better with each of his three starts, as he's gone up in distance, culminating in a Chelmsford win a month ago; stamina not assured on the dam's side, upped another furlong and on to Tapeta, but he could well have more to offer if seeing it out. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
She looked a good prospect when winning twice last July but her handicap career hasn't gone to plan so far this year; she did show plenty of early dash at Ascot five weeks ago, however, and this sharp test could suit; dropping in class will help too; considered. |
4/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
2-2 as a 2yo, winning a 5f maiden at Yarmouth and defying a penalty in a Windsor novice ten days later; down the field in two handicaps this season; dropping down the weights but others look more solid. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 in 2yo campaign, both wins coming last July (5f, good); then absent until 11-2 favourite and merely mid-division in competitive 3yo handicap at York (5f, good) in May; needs to leave that run well behind but she retains potential for her top yard; no surprise to see a big performance. |
