5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner who made all at Ripon (6f, good) in June and he had an excuse after missing the break in the Great St Wilfrid there last time; now drops back in grade and he's a big player if he can get back near best. |

6th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Positives include a C&D record comprising a win and a second and he arrives in top form; whether he is quite well enough treated for a race of this nature remains to be seen though. |

2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Stumbled/unseated in first-time visor (retained since) at Carlisle in May but posted a career-best when winning by 2l over C&D (good) in June, and he was denied a clear run when third of six at Pontefract (6f, good) subsequently; high on the list. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Had a wind op in June and he was back to winning ways at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; blinkered first time) in July; ran well in a hot race at York one week later but his form since has been less convincing; back down in the weights; handles good to soft, untried on slower. |
10/1 |
|
10th 4 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Record since wearing blinkers comprises a win at Chepstow, creditable sixth in competitive field at York and excusable effort (race didn't go smoothly) at Glorious Goodwood; could go well in the retained headgear. |
16/1 |
|
14th 7 (15) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
He progressed well over this trip last term and, following a slow start to this season, he was back in the groove in first-time blinkers when scoring at Chester (7f, good to firm) earlier in the month; finished close sixth at York (Pellitory second) under a penalty one week later and he's not readily dismissed. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Gained a second success of 2026 at Ripon (6f) this month and backed it up with a good third of 14 in Great St Wilfrid there 13 days ago; well in the mix off the same mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
In good form this year, winning a big-field handicap at York (6f, good) in May and adding a C&D handicap 12 days ago (good ground; Dark Cloud Rising second); up 5lb in a stronger race and it could find him out. |
7/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He hasn't looked ahead of his mark in four handicap runs this year but eased 2lb since latest and now tried in blinkers; tongue-tie left off today. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Highly tried last season and then underwent wind surgery; hasn't been far away in 7f/6f handicaps the last twice and it was a competitive affair last time at Leicester; has a chance. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Highly tried after his winning 2yo debut; had wind surgery prior to his return last month and he has shaped okay in both starts this summer, latterly a close fourth over 7f here 18 days ago; returning to 6f will suit but a step forward is required. |

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. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won in spite of some errant tendencies on his 2yo debut last July (6f, good to firm); struggled in a Group 2 next time and two handicap runs this summer (after a gelding operation) haven't been chock full of promise; edging down the weights but others look more appealing. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Slowly away and never involved on reappearance kept to 6f, making it two defeats since debut win; may rebound at some stage but pedigree suggests he's not screaming for this extra furlong. |
16/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Overcame evident inexperience to win a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) on his 2yo debut last July; last of nine in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood when last seen 314 days ago; gelded prior to his reappearance/handicap debut; unexposed. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Best results for Ralph Beckett, from whom he was picked up for 35,000gns last autumn (gelded not long after), came on the AW; new trainer 3-7 with runners here but an easy 6f looks a bare minimum, especially after such an absence; market useful. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it second-time lucky when landing a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last December; 0-7 since but he's been placed in two of his last three handicaps and ran better than the bare result back at Kempton (7f) last time; still unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off dangerous mark. |
11/2 |

8th 7 (2) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Connections got a couple of runs into him late last year and he managed a win (here); narrow personal best when upped to 7f this month (second, no match for winner; also here) before seemingly caught out back sprinting on Saturday; chance. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all and held on in tenacious fashion at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; handily drawn but he faces competition for the lead on what is only the second 5f start of his career. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Legends Classified Stakes here (1m; 40-1) last September; knocking on the door over 7f here (23) in recent times; competitively weighted from an unchanged mark, and a danger to all if allowed uncontested lead back at 6f. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Broadly inconsistent but his form at Doncaster features a success in last year's Leger Legends race and resurgent effort behind Bella Bisbee in latest start; better off with that rival and due to go back up 1lb in future. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
He has been revived by a switch to AW of late, finishing a close third at Wolverhampton (6f) last month before a dominant win back at that track 22 days ago; up 6lb but still feasibly weighted on his turf best; big player from a handy draw. |
11/2 |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

5/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Looked as good as ever when close third of 16 on seasonal debut at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in April but his form has dipped since and he has questions to answer on this AW debut. |
