2nd 4 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Fairly useful on his day; good second over C&D last summer and made all at Chester this spring; has faced mostly difficult tasks otherwise this term but is the least solid contender on 2026 bare form; behind unexposed Westport at Royal Ascot. |
14/1 |

25th 16 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Well beaten in the Norfolk Stakes here last year; game front-running effort to win at the May meeting at Chester (5f, good) but well beaten in Dickensian's York race one week later; the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt in this field. |
66/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Raced mainly at 5f; won Doncaster novice (good to soft) last summer and bettered that form when fifth to Revival Power in Doncaster Group 2 (80-1) in September; doubled his tally when producing career best to make all in Chester handicap (good) on Friday; drawn on the wing but could be the sort to run above himself. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
His two wins have come in small-field affairs but he gave a good account of himself in the 3yo Dash at Epsom five weeks ago; effective on fast ground; others have more pressing claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Respectable rather than progressive on AW since a Wolverhampton win in December but he found soft turf to his liking when coming clear of his four rivals at Yarmouth (5f) last month; needs more off 7lb higher in this better race but further rain would help him more than some. |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning at Wolverhampton in December and he posted solid efforts on his next three starts; however, he was down the field at Lingfield 40 days ago and now returns to turf. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nursery winner at 1m; another good effort when third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) before perhaps unsuited by soft ground at Lingfield; enters the equation. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Stepped up on reappearance when third of ten over 1m at Windsor (good to firm) a fortnight ago, although he faded inside the final furlong and this sometimes keen goer wouldn't be sure to benefit from this slightly longer distance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent once handicapping last season before finding 1m2f beyond him latterly; entitled to have come on for his recent comeback, having been gelded, and this is easier but he's vulnerable to improvers now. |

6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Hooded and raced freely in all three starts; had an excuse when tailed off a Leicester (stumbled) but she's posted two fair efforts either side of that; now switches to nurseries; needs to settle. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hooded and raced freely both starts; fair debut when showing speed before weakening and hanging right at Chelmsford (6f, AW; 80-1); stumbled badly then eased and tailed off at Leicester (5f, good to firm; 18-1) three weeks later; will need to relax if she's to get home on today's forecast ground. |
33/1 |

8th 9 (8) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

35,000gns yearling, £9,000 breeze-up 2yo; dam unraced half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry; showed some speed before weakening and hanging right on debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW; hooded; 80-1); drops to 5f; stablemate of Excelerate. |

Broadly regressive maiden whose chance depends on the effects of physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Back to his best when finishing second of nine in a 7f handicap at Musselburgh 17 days ago; runs off the same mark today and another big run should be forthcoming. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Remains winless but he comes here in decent nick, fourth at Wetherby (7f) before suffering a poor run when ninth at Haydock (7f) last month; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden but has shown he can be competitive from his mark, including fourth of 11 at Wetherby (7f, good to firm; acts on heavy) 25 days ago. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Two C&D handicap wins this year, latter off 1lb lower than today; found it tougher on turf since but could bounce back returned to AW having been gelded. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Promising third with cheekpieces added on nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) and she ran to a similar level when second of four at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) last week; has set the pace in her last two starts and she's respected back in trip. |
9/4 |
|
4 (1) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Modest form in her first three starts but her recent nursery debut, where she made the running over 5f at Chelmsford (AW; first-time cheekpieces, retained) was more encouraging; still has time to do better. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not ignored in the betting on first two starts, some evidence of ability on Wolverhampton AW debut (5f) and easily excused subsequent defeats, over Beverley's stiff 5f and on good to soft at Doncaster 15 days ago; in the reckoning now handicapping with Matthew Poon an interesting booking; cheekpieces on. |

9st 0lb |
£30,000 breeze-up 2yo; half-sister to four winners including 5f Group 1 Nunthorpe winner Live In The Dream; didn't go unbacked but it was a low-key debut when beating one home in ten-runner Doncaster novice (5f, good to soft; 9-1) 16 days ago; surely capable of better. |
20/1 |

9th 10 (1) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
28,000gns yearling, £30,000 breeze-up 2yo; seventh foal; half-sister to four winners including Live In The Dream (5f including August 2yo debut/AW/Group 1 Nunthorpe; RPR 120) and Live In The Moment (5f/6f; 104); unraced dam out of 1m4f Listed winner; stable's 2yos are 4-18 at this track in the last five years; one of the more likely newcomers. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Improved for the addition of a visor when easily seeing off six rivals in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; well beaten on next three starts and sold out of Robert Cowell's stable for 2,200gns in May; fine effort when short-headed on his stable debut at Musselburgh three weeks ago and a repeat would see him go well despite a 2lb rise. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Easily best run when all-the-way winner for Robert Cowell in 5f Wolverhampton handicap in March but well held all three runs since; changed hands for 2,200gns since last time and this yard switch needs to spark a resurgence. |
