7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Couldn't justify favouritism on debut and bumped into the subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner next time, but made no mistake at Thirsk (1m, good) in August; flopped when favourite for five-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October but gelded since; sire gets plenty who stay; not dismissed. |

4th 1 (1) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Couldn't justify favouritism at Haydock on debut (7f, good) but shaped well in third; second to Royal Lodge winner in a hot Newbury maiden (1m, good) next time and he made no mistake at Thirsk a fortnight later (1m, good; form worked out well); open to further progress and could have been let into nurseries lightly. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
12,000gns half-brother to five winners; outran odds of 150-1 to finish a clear second at Thirsk (1m, good) and the winning favourite, who was given a fright, had previously chased home last week's Royal Lodge winner Bow Echo; with improvement on the cards, he's probably better in at these weights than a good many. |
12/1 |

2nd 9 (10) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

12,000gns half-brother to five winners, including Carpathian (German 1m7f/2m3f Listed; RPR 103), Yellow Tiger (1m3f Flat, 87; 2m hurdle) and Payment Plan (2m AW; 66); bred to have a future but it's likely best to look elsewhere this time. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) last October and has run with credit in handicaps over 1m/1m1f since returning in April, without looking ahead of his mark; this return to a longer trip may help, but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m novice winner at two and then gelded; slow starts weren't helping matters this season but raced in touch last time at Lingfield (1m1f) and they all bumped into an improver; could go well. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Often pulled hard last year and was gelded over the winter; this season his issue has been blowing the start and that's what cost him any chance last time; up to winning off this mark but has to be considered risky now. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with nursery wins over 6f/7f; unplaced first two runs in 2026 but back to his best in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by the blinkers he wore on penultimate start) when second of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. |

Ended his 2yo campaign with a pair of nursery wins; unplaced in two runs in 2026, including tried in blinkers three weeks ago; drops in class in new headgear; not a solid option. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-4 with commanding win on nursery debut at Newmarket (1m, good) a fortnight ago; the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive but he's nevertheless high on the list after that latest performance. |
4/1 |
|
2 (3) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Got up in final stride at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July on second start; only fifth in Thirsk novice (1m, good) since but jockey reported he slipped turning for home; retains potential and not ruled out on nursery debut. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Built on debut form when leading on the line in 7f Epsom maiden (good to firm) six weeks ago; those in behind haven't done much for the form since but he has the potential for better now stepping up to 1m. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Narrow winner of a novice at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and has been placed in all five handicaps since, including C&D; went down only to a progressive sort at Redcar (1m2f, good) last time and should give another good account. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow winner of a novice at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and has been placed in all four handicaps since; may have finished closer with a clearer passage when third of ten at York (1m2f, good) last time; another big run seems likely back down in grade. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
33-1 winner of a 7f novice at Thirsk last September; improved form from off the pace again in all three handicaps since, this season's over 1m4f at Doncaster and York; the latter was a warm race in which he shaped as if a return to 1m2f would be fine; up 4lb but on the shortlist. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has a good pedigree but struggled in three novice events, most recently when tailed off on Wetherby reappearance in June; still early days but he needs a transformation on his handicap debut. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

50-1, hinted at ability when eighth of 16 on 7f York debut five weeks ago but not enough to suggest he's likely to strike here. |

0-7 but last month's close second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) was a fine try; nudged up only 1lb; has a sound chance of going one better. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Lowly rated on the Flat (0-6); ran well to a point but ended up well held when fifth of six on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) in June; improvement required. |

5th 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat (0-6); never better than midfield in added cheekpieces at Thirsk (1m4f, Class 5; beaten over 10l, 40-1) three weeks ago; trainers sole representative in this in 2024 was an early casualty; stablemate of Steel Fixer. |

Has finished tailed off in four of his five runs including in a Beverley handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has lots to prove back up in trip and he's 4lb out of the weights; cheekpieces added. |

In cracking form since joining this yard and he was winning his third race from his last four starts when always in command at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; goes up another 5lb but he's progressing well. |

1st 2 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Thriving since joining Charlie Clover, justifying favouritism at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; Napolian fourth) 11 days ago; may have more in the tank, although this is warmer and he's 5lb higher. |
7/2 |

In good form since 8,000gns buy in April, winning off 5lb lower at Brighton in June (7f, good to firm; 8-11) before a good second to a subsequent winner at Doncaster nine days later (1m, good to firm); contender. |

Eight-race maiden but he did run one of his better races when third of seven at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) two weeks ago; claims if backing that up in a switch of headgear. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
