25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
0-10 in handicaps; twice third over 1m4f at Ascot this year but last two efforts have been below par; dropped another 3lb but it's not enough to tempt. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-9 in handicaps; best form when second in the closing 1m2f race on this card last year; some respectable shows over 1m4f too, including with first-time blinkers (kept since) on penultimate start; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in a Shergar Cup race and not beaten far but others have more pressing claims. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 in handicaps; easily his best 2025 efforts were two thirds over C&D on good to firm, including when on the heels of Night Breeze on latest start, wearing first-time blinkers, but he needs to find extra. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Came up well short at Group level last summer but resumed his progression back in calmer waters with a 1m4f Newbury handicap debut success (good to firm) last August; this low-mileage sort has the potential for better again in 2026. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
First three runs were in maidens and he made all at Chester (1m4f, good) in May; the Derby proved far too tough for him next time and so did 1m6f Group 2 at Royal Ascot 11 days later; his sights are lowered dramatically for this handicap debut and he needs a close look. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
First three runs were in maidens and he made all at Chester (1m4f, good); the Derby proved far too tough for him only 11 days ago and he was so comprehensively out of his comfort zone that this race too looks hard. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Exposed multiple winner who could improve for having a recent run here under his belt, with that his first appearance in three months; handicapped to win again. |

3rd 1 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and returns to this sphere with a doubt over his current form; however, may prove resurgent off current mark dropped in class. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 6-17 at the track stacks up well (2-27 elsewhere) and he has dropped to a dangerous mark; hasn't looked to be in the form required to capitalise though. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; four placings from his six starts, including over this sort of trip in two novice events in April and a five-runner AW handicap on latest outing; wore cheekpieces in the latter and they are retained; he needs to find a bit extra. |
9/2 |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His three placings from five starts include one over C&D; handicap debut at Doncaster five weeks ago came in a hot race and over 14.5f, which he may not have stayed, a creditable effort nevertheless but he surely needs better to win this; cheekpieces are enlisted. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW (1m3f/1m4f) before 1l third in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) in April; unexposed but he needs to find some improvement now up in trip in a warm race on his handicap debut. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden (1m3f, AW; 30-100) in August, but held in three starts back in handicaps since (in blinkers last time); has raced freely, but he may settle better in a bigger field and this race has gone to a 3yo three times in the last six years. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |

Only 1-8 and disappointed at Windsor (1m3f; raced freely) when the return to soft ground was expected to benefit; however, could settle better in the new blinkers and he is a course winner. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

Record is 1-7, the win in 1m3f AW maiden two starts ago; beaten favourite latest but wasn't disgraced; well bred and may do better still. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Progressive sort who's scored twice this term and ran well again at Windsor (11.5f, good) 18 days ago; steps out of his grade but this trip might unlock more and he's a likeable sort who threatens to give the classier types a proper workout. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced on softer than good; ran well at Newbury (1m4f) most recently, taking record this season to 3431132; that consistency makes him one to consider. |
13/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Progressing and going up in trip has helped; front-running win when 4-6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in June and he saw off a Prescott-trained hotpot to follow up at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July; close third at Chester on latest outing and may still have more to give. |
