7th 5 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Landed 6f Chelmsford AW novice for Simon and Ed Crisford as 2yo; shaped encouragingly for new stable when in the frame on Southwell AW and at Musselburgh but raced too freely when last of eight at Redcar (5f) last time; blinkers are reached for (tongue-tie also refitted); could bounce back. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f AW winner for the Crisfords as a 2yo; two solid efforts for his new stable but he finished behind Fille Unique and Data Fata Secutus at Musselburgh last month; needs to pull out more to win. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Raced on AW, winning 6f Chelmsford novice for the Crisfords last summer; led until well inside the final furlong when fourth of seven in 5f Southwell handicap on reappearance for new yard 18 days ago; if he comes on only a little for that outing he could take a bit of pegging back in this lower grade. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Three ordinary efforts on turf punctuate four solid efforts on the AW, including when coming away with a subsequent easy winner over C&D off 2lb lower in the spring; may well be dropped in again from this draw and will be happier back up from 6f; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
7f AW win last September; good second at Wolverhampton on his reappearance but he was a well-beaten third at Newmarket last month (7f, good); others look stronger. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Narrowly landed the odds in 7f maiden on AW last September; up against it on final 2yo start but he was gaining with every stride when only just failing on Wolverhampton AW (7f; handicap debut) in April; up 3lb; needs more for the win but should have some improvement in him. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made it 3-3 in turf handicaps when overcoming trouble to win a shade cosily at York in May and it was a good second of 17 in valuable event at Goodwood (also 7f, good) ten days later; still progressing and he holds leading claims again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 15 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Overcame trouble to win a shade cosily under Saffie Osborne at York (7f, good) last week, taking his record in turf handicaps to 3-3 and record since upped to 7f to 2-2; may well show further progress and defy another rise in the weights; respected. |
5/1 |
|
1st 16 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Got up in the final strides upped to 7f at the Newmarket Craven meeting (good) last time, taking record in turf handicaps to 2-2; could well improve further and he represents last year's winning yard; shortlisted. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
String of costly defeats on the AW early in the year and remains a maiden; has the ability but hung left back on turf last month before not seeing it out on soft ground last time; risks involved running over 5f for just the second time. |
6/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-9 and he wasn't at his best (hung badly left) on a rare turf start at Windsor (6f, good; fifth) three weeks ago; needs to prove he can get the job done but he's on a handy mark on his consistent AW form earlier this year; not written off. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-8 but involved in close finishes over 7f and 6f (AW) in February and only just failed to get up at Lingfield (5f) in March; no serious impact at Southwell since but ran as though still in form and not ruled out if able to transfer his sand form back to turf (first run on grass since debut). |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Well positioned when winning final two juvenile starts at 6f on Polytrack; entitled to need the run on his recent comeback at Haydock (6f, soft) and open to some improvement regardless of what the weather does. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in a maiden at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last October and followed up in Kempton nursery (6f, AW); showed promise on soft ground last September; possible player if fully tuned up for comeback. |

Yet to show he can win races; first-time cheekpieces go on and he needs significant improvement. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Yet to make the frame in his five starts, tongue tied when fifth of nine in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 16 days ago; others appeal more. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Rattled off a Southwell hat-trick (6f) in January but he failed to beat a rival in 1m Windsor handicap last month on his return from a four-month absence; he needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
12th 9 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a mockery of his opening mark, winning three Southwell handicaps in a week at the start of the year (6f/7f); only fourth at Newcastle in his bid for a four-timer but that was a useful contest and his effort was right up there with his best; should stay 1m (half-sister a Group 1 winner at the trip) and his best days could still be ahead of him. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Looked a handful as a 2yo but he was gelded after his third run and he has been making hay in handicaps this month, winning three times at Southwell (6f/7f) in the space of six days; effectively 8lb higher than for the latest of them and tackling a different calibre of opposition today, but he is bred to be smart and this stiff 6f should be ideal. |
