4th 6 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Finished second in a Southwell novice last July on only AW start; has since shown decent form in various company at up to 7f on turf, with both blinkers and cheekpieces tried; sets the standard but he was only third at 8-11 at Redcar last time so probably vulnerable again. |

|
3rd 2 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise in defeat on all four starts last year, finishing fourth of 26 in a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good) in October when last seen; first-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers adopted last time; leading claims if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fifth of 20 in a sales race on the July course (behind Court Alert) before probably raising his game to finish third in a small-field novice at Ascot (6f, soft); could well improve for 7f and tries blinkers, but others are far more convincing. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two 5f AW nursery wins in the final third of last year; however, she's been unplaced over 5f on her four starts this year and the return to 6f doesn't appear to be an obvious plus. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

3rd 3 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Best of her three runs since going handicapping when dropped back to 5f at Southwell last week, finishing short-head second of seven (first two 7l clear of the rest); up 2lb but a contender. |
2/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

No better than sixth in her two handicaps but only beaten 2.5l on the former occasion and the latest wasn't as bad as the distance beaten suggests; cheekpieces left off now back at 5f; Sean Levey a positive booking for the stable. |

9st 9lb |
Won 5f novice events at Carlisle and Newcastle this summer before a fine third in the Super Sprint at Newbury (5f, good); highly tried since and today's return to 5f should be in his favour; not ruled out now making his nursery debut. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Found himself isolated from the main action when disappointing in a Group 3 at Goodwood; had been nicely progressive and was conceding weight to the front two (including Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane) when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury despite losing his focus and wandering when hitting the front; strong chance, provided he gets home over 6f (kept to 5f thus far). |

9st 7lb |
Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Faced some stiff tasks as a 2yo after winning a Newmarket novice last May (6f, good); not on a bad mark on his best efforts now starting out for John Butler (sold out of Richard Hannon's stable for 20,000gns last October); has been gelded; betting to guide. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Second in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August is the best form in this field; it's also, however, easily his best form (four races) after he trailed the field in a much stronger Newmarket sales race (7f, good) in October; gelded since and has to be considered seriously. |

26th 5 (8) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Could improve for the step up to 7f as he was strong through the line when second in a 6f sales race on the July course, which was improved form; this has the look of a much deeper race, however. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Ran better second time out at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and would have been closer but for hanging; quite likely capable of a lot better than he's shown. |

50,000gns yearling; at 4-1 he was noticeably short in the betting at Doncaster (7f, good) and was clear of the fifth; that form has been franked and he showed enough pace to believe he'll cope with 6f. |

Steadily progressive and bids for a hat-trick after wins at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (6f, Polytrack); clearly thriving, but may struggle to confirm Newcastle running with Nana's Boy George. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He had been threatening a bigger effort prior to last week's breakthrough success at Newcastle (5f), a race where he dug deep to scramble home in a blanket finish (0.75l split the first five home); not well in under a penalty but in form and stepping back up to 6f should be fine. |

Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Admirably consistent gelding who is thriving on his racing, proving better than ever when seeing off five rivals in 6f Nottingham nursery (good to soft) 23 days ago; should give another good account. |

The Bath maiden (5.3f, firm) he won on debut in August wasn't an especially strong event but he was well on top at the finish; failed to build on it in a sales race at Newmarket one week later but he was sent off the 7-2 second favourite and wasn't well drawn; capable of better and should be involved despite a penalty and a wide draw. |

Application of headgear yielded an upturn in fortunes but she was still springing a surprise when winning the 20-runner £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction at Newmarket (6f; 33-1) in August; failed to stay 7f in Sweden (fourth) latest; current mark looks perfectly fair if taking to AW. |

She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that. |
