11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Best form has come on AW and he hung left when 3l last of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May last time; however, the trip appeared to stretch him and he's off the same mark as for his win at Wolverhampton (8.4f, AW) in March; not written off back at 1m in first-time cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive, mostly at about 1m and on AW, until posting duck eggs in last two outings; may prove resurgent back down in grade, and pedigree suggests the return to 1m2f is worth a go. |
4/1 |

17th 8 (17) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Having been gelded last autumn he enjoyed a good stint on AW, winning twice (1m/8.6f); soundly beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time and he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf, but he remains lightly raced for his top yard and is not discounted under Ryan Moore. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Kicked off 2026 with two wins (6f, AW/good) and placed on next two starts, on the latest occasion beaten just a head at Windsor (6f, good to firm); well beaten at Salisbury since but on soft going; remains unexposed over sprint trips and is firmly in calculations back on better ground. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Started life in bumpers but won Lingfield novice (AW) and Leicester handicap (good) earlier this year on his first two starts at 6f; two good placed efforts last month, latterly when just claimed by Under The Twilight in blanket finish at Windsor (good to firm); one run away from a sound surface in this sphere, when last of six, does sound a note of caution. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Started life in bumpers but won at Lingfield (novice) in January and Leicester (handicap) in April on his first two attempts at 6f; creditable third at Brighton (6f, good to firm) ten days ago and he may build on that, as it came after four months off; could have more to offer. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ludlow dominates his career record, including for all three wins; recent efforts elsewhere (well beaten over C&D latest) suggest he's best watched. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All three wins have been at Ludlow over 2m; beaten 19l at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) three weeks ago and it may pay to wait until he returns to his favoured track. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third over hurdles at Taunton (extended 2m, good) in March but failed to match that level on starts either side; cheekpieces are now applied for handicap debut and, while his jumping has lacked fluency at times, he's hard to dismiss representing top stable. |
9/2 |
|
7th 13 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 0-4 on Flat for previous yard; has lacked fluency in two attempts over hurdles (2m) but managed to run well, clear third, at Taunton latest; may take another step forward, especially if jumping better. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Well related (including as half-brother to a useful jumper) but 0-4 in these colours on Flat for Roger Varian, modest form in his closest finish; weak 11-2, 33l sixth of nine in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury (2m, good to soft) for new yard last month, looking best watched for the time being. |

Showed no significant promise in two Flat novice races (7f/1m) last summer; 300-1 when unruly at the start on his intended hurdle debut at Exeter last Tuesday. |

9st 1lb |
Closely matched with Marry The Night and Kodebreaker on last week's C&D form; still has low mileage but she will need to pull out more to make her breakthrough. |

Unplaced in six starts; a wide trip didn't help when dropped to 7f at Kempton last time but still hard to make a good case for. |
