15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Displayed plenty of ability in his five-race 2yo campaign and well backed ahead of last month's reappearance at Sandown (5f, good), where he was a 3l sixth of nine having been slowly away and denied a clear passage; could have a part to play if things pan out more favourably today. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Midfield in big-field nursery at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) last August when last seen; gelded since; however, close third in a nursery at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft) previously, showing good pace, and he's in the picture on that form; also effective on good/good to firm. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf. |
4/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Faced some stiff tasks as a 2yo after winning a Newmarket novice last May (6f, good); not on a bad mark on his best efforts now starting out for John Butler (sold out of Richard Hannon's stable for 20,000gns last October); has been gelded; betting to guide. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Record of 0-6 since debut success but he has a notable piece of course form, namely close second in nursery at last year's Glorious Goodwood; could go well returned to this venue with Newbury reappearance (stable debut) under his belt. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (13) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Easy win on his debut (5f, good to firm) and showed fairly useful ability in five subsequent starts for Richard Hughes, including a C&D second when last seen in September (solid form); sold for 160,000gns the following month; begins this campaign up another 3lb; big personal best is required on his first run for a trainer who won this race in 2022 and 2023. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark on second start (5f, good to firm) and ran respectably on handicap debut when beaten 3l at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft; not clear run) in August; gelded before sharing second (5f, AW) on reappearance in March and again didn't have the cleanest shot when fourth at Bath one month later; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (14) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from seven months off (gelded during his absence) with a dead-heat for second at Wolverhampton last month (6f); his win came on good to firm and this extended 5f should suit; not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Pulled hard in three runs after winning a small-field maiden last summer, over 6f on his final two runs, and remains relatively unexposed; perhaps the gelding operation will settle him down and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't built on a 6f win at Pontefract last summer, and two runs for his current yard have been some way below par; falling in the weights but needs to turn over a new leaf. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well held at 33-1 over C&D on stable debut 18 days ago; only 2lb lower here and others make much more appeal. |
33/1 |
|
11th 6 (11) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 1-6 for Charlie Johnston, the success over 6f (has form at 1m); failed to beat a rival when last seen and sold for 11,000gns since; perhaps best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season and ran respectably in 6f Group 3 at Ascot most recently; however, has probably already reached his ceiling, unlike some of today's rivals. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive as a 2yo, winning five times and also second of 11 in the 2yo race over C&D on Champions Day; should appreciate the return to a stiff 6f having weakened over 7f in the Greenham two weeks ago; one to consider. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Held over 7f the last twice and seems set for another supporting role, unless first-time headgear makes a difference; best form remains over 6f at Newbury. |
10/1 |
|
2 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown best form over 6f at Newbury and proved a non-stayer over a testing 7f at Sandown most recently; this is a sharper scenario but he has something to prove. |
7/1 |
|
1 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his novice win over 6f at Newbury (good to firm) and went very close in nursery over that same C&D (good) last time; possibly not crying out for this return to a stiff 7f. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Effective on fast and soft ground; inconsistent seven-race maiden but he's had three close calls including when front-running in a maiden at Bath (5.6f) last month; on reduced mark now back in a nursery and he could make another bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
6 (9) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in the Brocklesby (5f, good to soft) on his debut and ran well for second on his nursery debut at York in July (6f, good to firm; first run after a gelding operation); not so good on his last two starts but this is much weaker and he has to be high on the list. |
2/1 |
|
10 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beaten a nose in the Brocklesby in March (5f, good to soft) and tapped back into that promise when close second on nursery debut at York (6f, good to firm); however, this is a hotter contest and he failed to shine in the Super Sprint two weeks ago (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained). |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finished second in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, good to soft; Listed) last October, form that would give him strong claims in this field; beaten as 4-9 favourite at Lingfield on his reappearance (6f, AW) but the winner there could be useful; should be involved once again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Son of Galileo Gold who was much improved on his final run in 2025 when second of 15 in Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar in October; holds leading form claims on his Polytrack debut in his bid to get off the mark at the eighth attempt. |
4/6 |
|

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |

Looked a bit unlucky when fourth to Ardisia in nursery at Glorious Goodwood, but since then he's finished well behind Song Of The Clyde in sales races at York and Doncaster; 0-6 and beginning to look exposed. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Goodwood maiden winner (6f, good) but she's finished behind a few of these in her other races; cheekpieces will have to trigger a huge spike in form for her to be involved. |

|
12 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won over C&D (good) in June and has a more realistic chance on this nursery debut than when down the field in Listed fillies' race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); however, others have more substance to their claims. |
25/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Has the same form figures as Bella Lyra, albeit had a lot less to spare than that opponent last time; nevertheless, may build on that Goodwood win (6f, good) and show further progress. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden who hasn't progressed from his 6f Newbury third in July; the return to 6f may help after fading late over 7f at Brighton latest but Charles Bishop sides with stablemate Kesta. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-race maiden but was close third in Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) in July and she ran respectably when third of five in a Sandown nursery (7f, soft) 16 days ago; sets a fair standard back in a maiden and yard is 25% with 2yos here in recent years; key player. |
13/8 |
|
5 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Clear best sprinting effort when close third to Penhallam at Newbury on penultimate start; drops back in class after Glorious Goodwood defeat but doesn't seem to be screaming for the new trip. |
