17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; has shaped better on last two starts, finishing fourth at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft; pulled hard); might be suited by dropping back in trip; could go well. |
4/1 |

4th 11 (10) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-9 and had been regressive this year, but last month's fourth of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction; ran well on soft ground last September and he's not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Debut effort at Kempton (7f) was encouraging enough but he has finished down the field twice since; drops to 6f for his nursery debut and remains capable of better; worth a market check despite a wide draw. |
12/1 |
|
5 (3) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ability at an ordinary level over 7f here on debut; didn't replicate that on turf last time and, although he's bred to stay 1m, he'll be of more interest once handicapped. |
25/1 |
|
8th 1 (6) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only 5-1 at Kempton 13 days ago (7f) and showed some ability to finish midfield after starting slowly; likely to build on that. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all in a Lingfield maiden (1m2f, soft) in June but hasn't produced one effort of note since then; all hope rests on the effect that cheekpieces might have, though a hood did nothing for him. |
14/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in Lingfield maiden (1m2f, soft) in June, his fourth start, but all three subsequent handicap runs were very disappointing; hood removed after one use; leap of faith required to support him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Entered handicaps on the back of breakthrough win but has twice failed to beat a rival; could do with settling better and the fitting of headgear (hood) might help with that; trainer also runs Lord Mayor. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed signs of greenness but he was beaten only a neck when second of ten on debut at Kempton (7f, AW; 25-1) ten days ago; that sets the standard. |
6/4 |

4 (8) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
February foal by Alkumait; 13,000euros foal; 16,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Isle Of Avalon (1m4f AW; RPR 74), Miners Gamble (1m1f; 69) and Tigre Bianca (Italian 1m-11.5f including 2yo/AW); dam 1m4f winner (75), out of sister to 2yo Group 1 winners Listen (1m) and Sequoyah (7f); stable not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers. |

Showed nothing in two starts over 7f on Polytrack at Kempton and Chelmsford last month; look elsewhere. |
80/1 |
|
3 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten 28l when down the field at Kempton (7f, AW; 16-1; bumped start) at Kempton 17 days ago; big step forward needed. |
50/1 |

5 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

April foal by Tasleet; half-brother to five winners including Delegation (French/German 1m2f-1m4f), Monlora De Luna (French 1m), Saint Jimmy (Swedish 7f/1m) and Archipenka (Czech 5f including 2yo); dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 73); probably only of interest if attracting support. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won his maiden here on debut last August and is happier on the AW than turf on evidence to date; inclined to pull hard a couple of times since returning from almost a year off and needs to settle better now going beyond 7f for the first time. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning debut at Kempton (7f, AW) last August; kept on from off the pace into fifth of nine at Southwell (7f, AW) last time but he has a bit to prove on this surface having been below his best in both turf outings. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) last month and arguably ran better than eventual 13l defeat suggests when a weakening sixth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; eased in grade with Billy Loughnane booked here; worth a second look. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick in early summer, latterly over 1m2f off a 2lb lower mark; held since and will want a good test at this trip back on the AW. |
25/1 |
|
7th 9 (2) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
An improver this summer in completing a hat-trick in Class 6 handicaps (1m-1m2f); may have found the ground too soft here ten days ago but it could also be that he's now on a tough mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Big improver this summer, winning 1m handicaps at Bath and Lingfield before completing his hat-trick over C&D; not so good at Sandown last month and today's ground will be slower than he has been tackling. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to build on his debut third of ten at Kempton (7f, AW) last August but he didn't shape badly there over 1m on his handicap debut last month; that was his first start for 258 days and this Time Test gelding could be suited by stepping up to 1m2f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third of ten in a newcomers race at Kempton (7f, AW) last August, but two backward steps in the autumn; latest was on heavy going, so might be excused and he needs a second look on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual AW winner who has been in fair form back on turf (1m2f) in his last three runs; needs to find something extra to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and has shaped as though this new trip could suit; dangerous with cheekpieces added. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a solid record in handicaps, completing an AW double then making the frame twice on turf; however, has shown no further improvement for the switch to this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two AW handicaps (1m/9.5f) earlier in the year and, despite an 8lb rise, he ran well to finish fourth of 14 on turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (third has won since); major player. |
