24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |
8/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |
6/1 |
|
13th 8 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 3-8, with one of those wins on good to soft; endured a wide trip when placed at Chester last time but was beaten 4l and whether he wants 7f remains to be seen (confined to sprinting thus far). |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
On a long losing sequence and followed his second at Hamilton (6f, good) last month with a disappointing show at Haydock, notwithstanding the heavy ground; others have more pressing claims. |
25/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence but he got right back on track in a refitted visor with second of 12 in 6f handicap at Hamilton last month; up 2lb but that form is proving strong and he can go well again in retained headgear. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (13) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came on his debut in a 5f maiden on soft ground in May 2024 but he has posted some good efforts since; midfield finishes in three starts this year, including when drawn wide at York over 7f on his last two outings; drops back in trip and down in grade with the visor returning. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has added two wins this year, at 7f and 6f (both on good), the latest when coming clear in good style at Pontefract 12 days ago; back up 6lb but he's never been better and this easy 7f shouldn't be a problem. |
3/1 |
|
11 (7) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Form has an uneven look to it but he is capable on his day and his third at Chester (6f, good to soft) in August has been franked by the winner since; couldn't rule out. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Another good run last time at Chester where he was closing down the leaders over 6f (good to soft); returning to 7f looks a good move and he can give his running on all sorts of ground; just 2lb above last winning mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Chasing a hat-trick after 7f wins at Thirsk (good to soft) and Chester (heavy) last month; still of interest from a handicapping perspective but the drop in trip is a slight concern. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a long losing sequence in 7f handicap at Thirsk two weeks ago; hasn't always proved the easiest of rides but she's not out of things nudged up 2lb. |
15/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Not yet added to his debut win in May 2024 but there have been some cracking efforts in defeat in big-field York handicaps this summer; well short of that level at Ripon (1m, good) three weeks ago but he is on a dangerous mark and conditions shouldn't be an issue. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Has started off very well for Michael Herrington, landing a big-field handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and going close in another at Thirsk (5f, good; Spring Is Sprung fourth, American Bay seventh) three weeks ago; a further 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing in his current mood, particularly with the promising Conor Whiteley taking 7lb off. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him. |
8/1 |
|
1st 10 (13) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on his best form for Alice Haynes and he made an encouraging stable debut when a close third at Southwell three weeks ago; one to be interested in. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won 2yo debut but 0-14 since and his form has been rather mixed; close third off this mark over C&D (good to firm) on penultimate start is the big plus point this year; slowly away when no show over 7f latest; hooded last five starts in 2025 and now tries cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Successful over C&D on 2yo debut; 0-13 since but ran encouragingly at Windsor (6f) most recently, after a spell at Meydan; returns to this venue with a fighting chance off current mark. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Just one win to his name but runner-up in a big field at the Dante meeting here and again found only one too good at Southwell in September; however, both those runs were over 5f, he hasn't looked as effective at this trip and he never looked like getting involved over 5f here on Friday. |
25/1 |
|
8 (1) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a cracker to finish second of 22 in a hot 3yo C&D handicap at the Dante meeting; unable to build on that since but he returned to form when second at Southwell 17 days ago; that was a drop in class and a 2lb rise back up in grade could find him out. |
10/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Started the campaign in good form, notably when second of 22 at the Dante meeting at York (5f, good to firm); his progress has stalled more recently though and hopes rest on the drop into Class 4 company perking him up. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won a Class 3 handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and ran well for second back at that track last month; only sixth (Northcliff third) of 13 over C&D in first-time cheekpieces since, though. |
16/1 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Class 3 handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and ran well for second back at that track 26 days ago; 2lb higher today but the new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 11 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has had some ups and downs in handicaps but is 2-3 in them over C&D (latest win when getting the better of Indian Run in June) and was seriously impeded in the other; has claims with Billy Loughnane up for the first time. |
