21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who ran to a useful level when second in a C&D maiden and a 7f novice at Haydock on his first two starts; disappointed at York's Ebor meeting but that was a hot race and he's a leading contender back in these calmer waters. |
5/4 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Kingman colt and Royal Lodge entry who seems a winner waiting to happen, having finished a close second in a couple of 7f events, clear of remainder at Haydock (good) latest; brings solid claims to this bigger assignment. |

2nd 2 (6) |

9st 7lb |
First foal of a useful 12.4f winner who gave it a good go from the front when a half-length runner-up at 7-1 on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; leading claims on this second start. |

9st 7lb |
200,000gns yearling, 220,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; by Too Darn Hot; holds two major entries; showed ability in Killarney maiden (1m, yielding to soft) while shaping as if this drop in trip will suit; interesting with improvement on the cards. |

220,000gns breeze-up buy and a son of Too Darn Hot; Group 1 National Stakes entry bodes well and has to be of strong interest. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Low-mileage 3yo whose form since handicapping features a reappearance win at Redcar (1m) in April and keeping-on second at Carlisle (1m1f) last time; may still have further progress in him and this return to 1m2f is worth a go; shortlisted. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Having been gelded he made a winning handicap and seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April; only fifth at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) since but faded late on and he could be in the mix over a furlong shorter. |
13/2 |

5th 11 (12) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-2 when seen in a very new light for handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, coming from rear to win a nine-runner race by nearly 2l going away; 7lb higher but there was plenty of encouragement for 1m2f in that performance; one to consider. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
York maiden winner for Ballydoyle over 7f before two good runs in Listed company on AW over same distance; ran to a similar level on first start for new yard after break when beaten 2.5l into fifth by Charles Darwin in Committed Stakes at Navan; friendless in market and ran poorly at Newbury 49 days ago; gelded since and chance if reproducing that Navan run back up in trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish colt who has performed creditably at Listed level since winning a notable maiden at York but needs improvement for the first-time headgear in this second start for new stable. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden who made the running on first three starts this term but switched to trying to come from the rear when hooded on both since; Newmarket latest (7f, good to firm; 40-1) was a positive performance as he seemed to be gathering momentum in the closing stages and was beaten just 2l in sixth of 11; dropped 2lb today and everything may well click into place soon. |
5/2 |
|
6th 11 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
It's possible that 7f on fast ground will represent his ideal conditions, and he's not had that combination in any of his four handicap starts this season; goes back up in trip today but from 2lb out of the handicap and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Beaten in three handicaps at a lower level this year, including when the warm favourite for his seasonal return (1m, good to firm); sprinting looks worth exploring but he will need a clear personal best to take this. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Fourth attempt when winning a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) in April; made most when below form on handicap debut at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, which can probably be forgiven from widest draw and he was second favourite that day; 5lb claimer is recruited for this hot race on first crack at about 1m. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Prevailed in Thirsk maiden (7f, good) last time, opening his account at the fourth attempt; may well build on that success and show further improvement, in keeping with his pedigree (siblings include a very useful performer for his connections); respected. |

1st 11 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

500,000gns yearling; runner-up to a smart prospect at Redcar (7f, good to soft) last autumn; faded after leading until over 1f out when second to a wide-margin winner at Newcastle (7f, AW) on reappearance; still has untapped potential; leading candidate. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Wore down a next-time-out winner (pair clear) late on when making it seventh time lucky in 6f Pontefract maiden (good to soft) under Jack Nicholls eight weeks ago; will be equally as effective back at 7f and can be made to look well treated on a few of his runs. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He has been expensive to follow thus far but he has been consistent in terms of his RPR and this is easier than the Newmarket handicap he contested three weeks ago; cheekpieces experiment quickly aborted; well drawn and he holds strong claims. |
4/6 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
360,000gns breeze-up 2yo; still seeking a first win and he has been expensive to follow thus far; that said, his Goodwood second (6f, good) last summer reads well and when third at Doncaster five weeks ago (7f, good to soft) he travelled through the race like a smart horse; the combination of a drop back in trip and the addition of cheekpieces could see him step forward now handicapping. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Doesn't appear to have made any striking progress as a 3yo and he was beaten fair and square on handicap debut at Goodwood last time in a race contested by others in here who didn't get the rub of the green that day; looks vulnerable. |
50/1 |

6th 7 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Eased once beaten upped to 1m on Good Friday when bidding for an AW double; consistent sort otherwise, including on turf last year, and may rebound; however, balance of form suggests he's no certainty to defy his mark on handicap debut. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive in defeat on turf across his four 2yo starts and he reappeared with a novice win at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 16 days ago, when odds-on; further improvement is necessary if he's to follow up today, but that can't be ruled out and there's every chance 1m will be fine; yard in good form. |

Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

160,000gns yearling; in these colours but with the Quinns when a massive eyecatcher in the prestigious Convivial Maiden at York in August (7f, good to firm), in which he suffered early interference before keeping on takingly for fifth; that form has worked out well. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has made serious progress since dropped to 6f, following an easy maiden win with an impressive handicap debut at Hamilton; ran off 10lb higher in a better York race (good) in June and he did really well to be a close second to Thunder Call who was slightly better positioned; upped another 4lb but closely matched with the winner; on the premises. |

2nd 9 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Beaten over 7f on first six starts before bolting up at 1-16 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) last month; built on that promise when impressive in 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) nine days later; in a higher grade this afternoon off 10lb higher but that rise might not stop him. |

Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |

Second run came in the valuable Convivial maiden at York; second favourite when winning from the front in a seven-runner novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, mostly in a clear lead before holding off the 4-7 favourite by a neck; bred to stay 1m2f+; open to further improvement. |

Stays 1m2f and acts on good to firm; put firmly in his place when 20-1 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown on reappearance but made late headway into fourth of ten off this mark to Lost Boys in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on handicap debut, despite racing freely in rear early on; could have more to give and a stronger pace today may suit. |

Yarmouth maiden winner who was fourth in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on his third 2yo start; put firmly in his place in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance but was 20-1 that day, may have needed the run and could be of more interest on this handicap debut. |

Goes well on ground softer than good; faced a simple task when winning novice at Carlisle in September and held her own against much classier opposition when third of 14 in Group 3 at Ayr (6f, soft) 11 days later; led for most of the way on that occasion and should make another bold bid. |

Runner-up at Goodwood (7f, heavy) in July on second start and bounced back from lesser run at York (7f, good to firm) for comfortable novice win at Carlisle (6f, soft) 11 days ago; needs another step forward today but her claims will be boosted if there's lots of rain. |
