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. |

1st 1 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Doncaster novice winner (5f, good to soft) last July and ran well for second in a soft-ground nursery at Sandown one month later; highly tried since and came up short, albeit running a good race when fifth in the Group 2 Flying Childers; neither start this year suggests he is the answer today. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Doncaster novice winner (5f, good to soft) last July and ran well for second in a soft-ground nursery at Sandown one month later; highly tried since and he has come up short, albeit running a good race when fifth in the Group 2 Flying Childers; drops back into a handicap but he has to concede weight to some promising sprinters. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made it eighth-time lucky as a 2yo in a 5f nursery on Tapeta; not beaten far in 5f/6f handicaps here before an eyecatching third at Wolverhampton where he was dropped in from a wide draw; possibilities. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ran seven times last year and sole win came in four-runner nursery at Kempton (1m, AW); also effective on turf and gelded since last seen; however, unless he finds improvement he's vulnerable to less-exposed types. |
33/1 |
|

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Steadily progressive colt who won small-field Kempton nursery (1m) last month, his fifth run, and was creditable third in quite valuable event at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last week; up in trip here; good chance. |

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. |

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. |

Offered little thus far, including two sprint nurseries; tongue-tie added for reappearance. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten 7l or more in all four starts including on nursery debut at Newcastle (6f, AW; 12-1) two weeks ago; still early days but he needs a transformation back in trip. |
16/1 |
|
6 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't seen his races out in novice/maiden company (5f-7f) but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see him take a step forward now handicapping at a modest level. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden; largely consistent as a 2yo but made a low-key reappearance a fortnight ago (1m) and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (12) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mainly consistent in six starts as a 2yo without appearing to progress, going closest when beaten a head in a Salisbury seller (7f, heavy) in September; returns from six months off and will need to step up, especially from his wide draw; stable also runs Kameko Fever. |

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). |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Justified strong market support on his 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; finished behind the reopposing Liverpool Star at Southwell next time but resumed his progression when landing another 5f Newcastle handicap last month; edged out a next-time-out winner on that occasion so should still be feasibly treated after a 2lb nudge. |

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. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
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. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Everything clicked when running away with a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March (visored first time); nothing before or since to suggest he is the answer today. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Got off the mark when making all in a first-time visor at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month but he was comfortably held at Lingfield 27 days ago having been raised 9lb for that success; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Failed to live up to market prominence in his first three handicaps; showed his true colours fitted with a visor at Wolverhampton three weeks ago, making all and coming home clear; up 9lb and he is taking on stronger opposition but further progress is possible in this headgear. |
4/1 |
