25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
1m novice winner last season on good ground before flopping when favourite for a five-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m, AW); also failed to shine on return at Chester in May (1m4f; having been gelded), so those two efforts in handicaps leave him with plenty to prove after 141-day absence. |

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. |

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. |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who raised his game to win a steadily run, seven-runner race at Newbury (good to firm) three weeks ago when upped to 1m2f, always prominent; back up 3lb but may have more to offer at the trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
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. |

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. |

2nd 3 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
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 Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Incurs 6lb penalty and steps up in class but he bids to strike while the iron's hot, having opened his handicap account with a comfortable win at York (1m2f, good to soft) on Sunday; may remain competitive. |
8/1 |

1st 17 (1) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7f novice winner on soft ground who had been consistent in handicaps before a disappointing effort when favourite over C&D two months ago (good to firm ground perhaps didn't help); into classier company this time but could run well off the lowest weight. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
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. |

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 |

7th 11 (7) |
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. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Nine-race maiden; second from off the pace over 1m2f at Doncaster and Haydock this summer; not disgraced on latest outing; looked effective here in his pre-handicapping days and looks worth a go at this new trip. |
7/2 |
|
7th 11 (7) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Still a maiden but he's getting closer, beaten just half a length at Doncaster (good to firm) in July and then by a neck at Haydock (also 1m2f; good) last month; possibly a shade unfortunate on latter occasion but this is a better race and he'll need to pull out a little bit more; that's not inconceivable, though. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Poor maiden on the Flat but showed some promise when third of six at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in August on his second hurdle start; place claims, probably at best. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
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. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

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. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) in August; two more placed efforts since and a must for the shortlist under Henry Callan. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 (4) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) one month ago; came up against another in-form rival when beaten 6l off this mark last time, but he likes to force the issue and this track might suit; can give it a good go. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
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. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

4th 9 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Six-race maiden; relatively unexposed but has a bit to find with Hood Wink on last time's C&D form; cheekpieces now tried. |
