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. |
14/1 |

11th 10 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
He has a good record on AW, winning three times and runner-up on his other two attempts; got the better of Dosman at Wolverhampton two weeks ago but he looks held by The Lost King on their Lincoln Trial form. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
First crack at sprinting when winning a Polytrack maiden three months ago (effort well advertised since); stiffer 6f should suit on his return to turf (stays 1m) but it's doubtful he's suddenly improved and he's back to handicap company on a career-high mark. |
4/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage maiden who has a few pieces of placed form; good second over C&D (good to firm) most recently, suggesting there may well be a race of this nature in him. |
9/2 |

6 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in two novices; early days in handicaps and was too free on soft ground when favourite here two weeks ago; could be given another chance. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Ludlow; kept on for second behind progressive rival there (2m, good) last month, after a break, but may not be ideally suited by this switch to a left-handed track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario. |
9/2 |
|
9 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class. |

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. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
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. |

Showed no significant promise in two Flat novice races last summer (7f/1m) and can only be watched on this hurdling debut. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
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. |
