3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
In good form in similar races under Georgia King lately, reaching the frame three times before resuming winning ways at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 31 days ago; the second from that race has won since so he retains handicapping scope off only 2lb higher but soft ground would be an unknown. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/AW handicap winner; second of 13 here (1m2f, good to firm) in May under Georgia King and has since twice made the frame under the same rider, the latest when third of seven at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last month; still unexposed on turf and respected back down in grade. |

3rd 6 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Bumper and 1m4f AW handicap winner; only three runs on Flat turf, the latest when second of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; not disgraced when Georgia King was on again back on AW latest outing; needs a second look. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Tailed off in Leicester novice (1m2f) last month but had shown some ability previously (1m/1m2f); goes handicapping off a modest mark in a first-time tongue-tie, and her dam was a 1m4f Listed winner; this lightly raced 4yo is a possible improver; one to watch in the betting. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Fine pedigree but finished a well-beaten last of five on her debut at Kempton (1m) in September; bit better on her reappearance when seventh of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f, also AW; kept on) last month; will probably be seen to best effect when handicapping over further. |

7th 1 (8) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Nice pedigree, but finished a well-beaten last of five on her Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack) last September; bred to appreciate the longer trip and a hood is given a go, but she still has enough to prove against the 3yos. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and gained his fourth success when landing a 2m1f handicap in first-time cheekpieces (discarded today) last month on his final start for Brian Ellison; 3lb higher on this stable debut and he's won his only previous start on the AW. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations. |
7/4 |

5th 9 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-William Haggas; followed up his easy Leicester win in June (1m2f, good; made virtually all) by finishing runner-up off a 10lb higher mark at Goodwood last month; up another 3lb and tries 1m4f for the first time; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 14 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
1-8 for William Haggas; second run for new connections when he resumed improvement to make all in ten-runner race at Leicester (1m2f, good; acts on good to firm) in June, well clear through the final 2f; those wins are two of the four times he's made the running, which will be more difficult in this larger field and after a 10lb rise but he looked good last time. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 albeit in the frame on ten occasions, as when beaten a head into second of four in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this looks a competitive race in which to attempt to break his duck, though. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful form in defeat as a 2yo; comparable efforts in handicap company at Goodwood (1m, good) in May and at Southwell nine days ago; leading form claims but could be vulnerable to something less exposed. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Progressive at ordinary level on the Flat last year, winning at Kempton (2m, AW) in October; however, well beaten on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and needs to be a different proposition today. |
66/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only made his debut in April and ran his best race yet when beaten less than a length into second of nine over C&D last month; just 1lb higher and remains open to further progress as a stayer; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Disappointing start to his handicap career with cheekpieces added when last of seven at Ffos Las (1m4f) five weeks ago; the headgear is quickly discarded now stepping up significantly in trip. |
5/1 |
