11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Left good-ground debut behind when making all over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; turns out he faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7lb to last weekend's Kempton Group 3 winner Five Ways back there (6f, good to firm again) last month, sticking on for a clear second in a style which suggests this step back up to 7f may help on nursery debut; William Buick retains the ride; considered. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field at Haydock on last month's debut (7f, good) but he left that form behind when a front-running C&D winner three weeks ago (good to firm); he will need to improve again to defy a penalty but that's certainly not out of the question. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Always in rear and beat just one rival in 7f contest at Haydock, producing a modest RPR; doesn't look an imminent winner. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW. |
5/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a Group 3 at Kempton last September as a juvenile before finishing fourth in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket, both over 6f; highly tried without success this term and although his yard is going great guns, his mark looks high at present. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Useful colt whose 2yo form featured a success in AW Group 3 and fourth in the Middle Park, both over 6f; proved resurgent in 7f Listed contest at Chester most recently, making the frame; however, has something to find on ratings upped further in distance. |
33/1 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won 6f Group 3 on AW last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; that rounded off his 2yo campaign but he's been regressive in three runs this season and was down the field in a York handicap last time; has some questions to answer and he's untried at this trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who ran well when third in two 6f handicaps last month (good to firm); soundly beaten last of four in maiden at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) on Monday but he's not ruled out back in a handicap and back on good ground. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Third in two nurseries over 6f on good to firm ground this month, the first of them here; they were both 0-55 events, though, and that form may not be good enough to win even a modest maiden like this. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden whose closest finish was at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) eight days ago when joint-third of eight; needs to build on that. |

9st 4lb |
Only 100-30 for last month's Windsor debut (6f, good to firm) and although he was beaten 8l at the finish, he did offer some encouragement; could leave that initial effort well behind. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
42,000euros foal, 100,000gns yearling; second foal; Showcasing half-brother to Norwegian 7f 2yo winner Katsumoto; dam lightly raced half-sister to winners Nyaleti (1m Group 2), Sir Patrick Moore (Australian 6f Group 2) and Alsakib (1m6f Group 3); plenty to like on paper and yard is 17% with 2yos this season. |

9st 6lb |
Beaten upwards of 11l in three starts on turf (6f/6.5f) last summer; longer trip shouldn't be an issue on breeding and worth a market check on handicap/AW debut after nine months off. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Followed a Bath maiden win (firm) with an impressive return to handicap company at Haydock (5f, good to soft) in May; saddle slipped when down the field later that month and he's been gelded since; 7lb higher mark than at Haydock may not be too much to ask and he's one of the more interesting ones. |
10/1 |

12th 6 (4) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No Nay Never colt who arrives on the up, getting off the mark in 5.5f Bath maiden before coming home really strongly to follow up in 5f Haydock handicap eight days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

After winning a three-runner Bath handicap (1m, firm) in May he beat one rival at Salisbury and Ffos Las; drops back to 7f in new cheekpieces; comes with risks. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He got off the mark at the ninth attempt in a three-runner handicap at Bath (1m, firm) in May; however, well beaten at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) since and he needs to settle better today. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Third AW success in his last four starts when comfortably on top over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton eight days ago; he does need to prove he's as effective on turf (0-5 but was second in a nursery on soft last year) but he had them well strung out at Dunstall Park and could still be well treated even after a further 7lb rise. |
6/4 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW efforts better than his five turf runs, latterly when comfortably beating a subsequent winner over C&D early in the month; a 6lb rise demands more but he may well be up to it. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden; was sporting cheekpieces for the first time when well behind Trust No One at Newcastle (1m2f) on penultimate start and made little impact at Lingfield subsequently; blinkers added over this new trip; risky proposition. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Appeared to show improvement when third at Newcastle on his penultimate start (stepped up from 7f to 1m2f) but he failed to back it up when beaten 15.5l at Newcastle one month later (cheekpieces first time, retained); others look safer. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Improved for the step up to this trip when third to Trust No One and Onyeisi in a C&D handicap 26 days ago; cheekpieces now added and may do better, especially in a more truly-run affair. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained two emphatic wins in May after the cheekpieces went on, the second one over this C&D (good to firm); a 10lb rise seemed to find him out when third of four at Newbury (1m, good to firm) the following month and he needs to resume his progress; unraced on ground slower than good. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge. |
11/10 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Came good at seventh attempt, drawing clear to win comfortably by 6l in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (7f, good) ten days ago; 4lb well in under 6lb penalty here; obvious claims if suited by the new trip. |
