4th 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat at his best; held in second when odds-on for hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good) but he built on that when trouncing two rivals at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last week; could have a lot more to offer in this sphere and he's respected under a penalty. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat at his best; unable to justify odds-on favouritism when second of six on recent hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good; winner beaten since) but ought to have learned from that experience and might be better suited by this easier track. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 4 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Productive on the Flat (best RPR 82), with plenty to admire about the manner in which he applied himself going down to King Of Berkshire at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start; trainer/jockey supplied the wide-margin winner of this (One Horse Town) last year; looks the one to beat. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who ran to a useful level when second in a C&D maiden and a 7f novice at Haydock on his first two starts; disappointed at York's Ebor meeting but that was a hot race and he's a leading contender back in these calmer waters. |
5/4 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Kingman colt and Royal Lodge entry who seems a winner waiting to happen, having finished a close second in a couple of 7f events, clear of remainder at Haydock (good) latest; brings solid claims to this bigger assignment. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
First foal of a useful 12.4f winner who gave it a good go from the front when a half-length runner-up at 7-1 on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; leading claims on this second start. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Third to two better-fancied rivals on seasonal reappearance at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April, and occupied that same position in a three-runner affair at Hamilton (8.5f) subsequently; a glance at his pedigree suggests that tackling this longer trip isn't an obvious move. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bettered his novice/maiden form when third of seven in a Doncaster handicap in April (1m, good to firm); that form looks solid and he remains capable of better. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't see the trip out when fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) in July but has been runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good) and Newcastle (6f, AW) in two starts being gelded; blinkers now go on and he sets the standard. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good effort when second over C&D (second start) in June; made a big move before not staying 7f here next time and was gelded before finishing a solid second of 16 at Thirsk (6f, good) last month; leading contender. |
6/5 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown promise all three starts, losing two places near the finish when fourth of ten at Newcastle (7f, AW; subsequently gelded) on latest; should be suited by today's drop back to 6f; remains open to improvement and commands plenty of respect. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
All six AW starts have come at Newcastle, winning a 7f novice there in January; returns from wind surgery but has plenty to prove under these conditions. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt in a 7f novice here in January and finished third of seven on handicap debut over 1m back at this venue last month; races off the same mark, but has a bit to prove back over a sprint trip. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Has made the frame over 7f on his last three starts but the latest was in a seller at Musselburgh and was no more than a respectable effort; speedy enough to cope with the drop to 6f. |
12/1 |
|
6 (4) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Made the frame twice over 7f at Haydock last month, finishing second in maiden then creditable fourth in nursery; raced only four times and has done enough to warrant respect in this field. |

4th 1 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise both turf starts (well held on AW in between), latterly second in maiden over C&D (good) 23 days ago; looks on a competitive mark for nursery debut. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Landed 6f Chelmsford AW novice for Simon and Ed Crisford as 2yo; shaped encouragingly for new stable when in the frame on Southwell AW and at Musselburgh but raced too freely when last of eight at Redcar (5f) last time; blinkers are reached for (tongue-tie also refitted); could bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f AW winner for the Crisfords as a 2yo; two solid efforts for his new stable but he finished behind Fille Unique and Data Fata Secutus at Musselburgh last month; needs to pull out more to win. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Raced on AW, winning 6f Chelmsford novice for the Crisfords last summer; led until well inside the final furlong when fourth of seven in 5f Southwell handicap on reappearance for new yard 18 days ago; if he comes on only a little for that outing he could take a bit of pegging back in this lower grade. |

Low-level maiden who reappeared with a heavy defeat at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; 33-1) last month; that took her record to 0-6 and she's not finished close than 6l to a winner so far; opposable from out of the weights. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat (0-6); never better than midfield in added cheekpieces at Thirsk (1m4f, Class 5; beaten over 10l, 40-1) three weeks ago; trainers sole representative in this in 2024 was an early casualty; stablemate of Steel Fixer. |
25/1 |

6th 11 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Has finished tailed off in four of his five runs including in a Beverley handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has lots to prove back up in trip and he's 4lb out of the weights; cheekpieces added. |
33/1 |

7th 12 (10) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Only eighth of 11 but showed improvement on RPRs at Kempton (1m4f) on handicap/seasonal debut, while shaping as if this return to shorter will suit; could go well. |
