11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Thrice-raced colt who had wind surgery prior to showing clear improvement at Windsor (6f, good to firm; won going away) most recently; may well build on that performance and progress further; one to consider. |

|
1st 8 (5) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
180,000gns yearling; promising third of 11 on his Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) in May, but didn't get home when fifth of seven at Goodwood (6f, soft) the following month; the return to faster ground may help and has undergone wind surgery; shortlisted. |
10/1 |

8th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lucky Vega colt who cost 180,000gns as a yearling; promising third of 11 at Beverley (5f, good to firm) where he fared best of the newcomers while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; major player. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced at 6f; won three times last year, notably a York Listed race (good; also won on good to soft); improved again when coming with a strong late run (started slowly) for 0.5l third to Coppull in Ascot Group 3 (good to firm) on reappearance three weeks ago; probably capable of better again. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Promise on good to firm on debut; won his next three starts, two novice events and a York Listed race, before pulling his chance away over C&D on Champions Day; improvement required now upped to a Group 3 but he's in excellent hands and still has some potential. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Form figures of 2111, all over 6f, reflect that he's progressing well; bagged Listed honours at York (good) last Saturday, making a smooth transition from novice level; commands respect. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite in a couple of 6f events on fast ground but has done enough to make him the form pick in this field; pedigree admittedly gives mixed messages as regards the extra furlong. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
170,000gns foal; 900,000euros breeze-up 2yo; sent off 9-4 favourite for his Newmarket debut (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, but could only manage sixth of eight having become unbalanced on the track, albeit he did show some ability (fourth has won since); a better performance is anticipated; hold entries in the Champagne Stakes, Mill Reef and Middle Park. |
4/1 |
|
4 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
170,000gns foal and changed hands again at a breeze-up sale for 900,000euros; eighth foal; half-brother to four winners including Two Stars (5f/6f; RPR 112), King Of Stars (5f; 106) and Hillcrest Avenue (Australian 1m/1m1f); clearly a likely contender given what he fetched in May. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Went close on handicap debut in September; odds-on but still improved on fifth start to win Lingfield novice (6f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January; didn't back that up when down the field in classy affair over that C&D one month later but return to turf should be no problem. |
25/1 |
|
10th 3 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Promise as a 2yo and made short work of four rivals in a C&D novice on last month's return to action (blinkered first time); 4lb rise for that means he is 7lb higher than when second in a C&D nursery last September (only handicap run); improvement required but conditions clearly suit him well. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-4 but he's finished runner-up in last two starts and latest was a close call on handicap/AW debut over C&D in September; returns after four months off, but he has a progressive profile and is a big player back in a novice; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to score but he's proving a reliable sort and not seen to best effect when fifth of seven in 1m2f Goodwood handicap 12 days ago; not out of things off a slipping mark. |
9/2 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Without a win but got back on track in a first-time hood when fourth of 11 in 1m Bath handicap two weeks ago; he's no forlorn hope on his first go over 1m2f with headgear retained. |
12/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise on his handicap debut when a keen-going fifth of six at Lingfield (1m) 78 days ago; hood goes on now after a break and he remains with potential. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Newbury maiden (good to soft) winner who was gelded after finishing down the field in Listed event here (also 6f) in October; coped well with the drop to 5f when taking good step forward to land Sandown handicap (good) on his reappearance three weeks ago; unexposed and likely capable of better again. |
12/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won with something to spare at Newbury (6f, good to soft) last September on second start then pulled hard when mid-division in Listed race at York (6f, good); gelded since, which may settle him down, and this well-bred sort has potential off his opening mark. |
4/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Left his debut (6f, good to firm) behind to win at Newbury (6f, good to soft) last month; takes a steep rise in grade but this well-bred colt was dominant last time and could have more left in the tank; interesting. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Limited encouragement when qualifying for this level and on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m, AW); however, she came home with a wet sail to take a close fourth at Bath (extended 5f, good) this month and things do seem to be falling into place now; likely contender. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Modest form in three 2yo runs and she was a well-beaten 40-1 shot at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut six weeks ago (8.6f); now reverts to sprinting. |
25/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Far from solid on her 2yo form over 6f but may do better now handicapping and upped in trip; check the betting for further guidance. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Stepped up from 6f when making a winning nursery debut over this far at Leicester (good) and had a bit up his sleeve despite the narrow margin of victory; the handicapper didn't hold back with 6lb but the front two were clear; will have to handle this softer surface. |

9th 7 (12) |

Five-race maiden; not beaten far on his handicap debut three weeks ago (1m, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) but he will need to raise his game to come out on top here. |

4th 4 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

Stamina on dam's side of pedigree and he shaped as though this longer trip would suit on his comeback over an easy 7f early last month; first-time cheekpieces will need to bring out a bit more on his handicap debut. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Left debut effort behind to finish second at Leicester (7f, good) last September; respectable fifth in another 7f novice at Redcar (good to soft) later in the autumn; gelded ahead of reappearance; ought to be thereabouts. |

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. |
15/8 |

5 (13) |
31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
750,000euros yearling; half-brother to Saffron Beach (7f/1m including 2yo/Group 1; RPR 121); however, he was tailed off at Chelmsford (6f, AW) as evens favourite, proving unsteerable round the bend, and a never-dangerous 11th of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; 11-1) nine days later in August. |

8st 12lb |
Placed twice in five completions last year, but having been gelded he ran a shocker on last month's Doncaster return (7f, good to firm); blinkers are given a go, but he still has plenty to prove. |

12th 1 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a good start in nurseries when third at Lingfield (7f) in October but too free when beating one in similar company at Kempton (6f) in December; since gelded and this son of Ardad could bounce back. |

3rd 11 (10) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Second in a 6f novice at Windsor last month; disappointing on both runs since, last time when upped to 7f for first time; others more convincing. |
