4th 8 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Yet to pose a serious threat this season and unproven at the trip, but he kept on well for fifth in a hot race at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago, and he didn't run badly in a big-field 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time; not ruled out in first-time visor. |
16/1 |

14th 20 (12) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
He's yet to pose a serious threat this season but has run some respectable races, as when keeping on from the rear for fifth at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and this big-field scenario and expected strong pace could see him to good effect; interesting. |
50/1 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
His narrow debut success in August hasn't been added to in six subsequent starts, including in three handicaps this term, latterly at 10.5f; drops in trip from a reduced mark but others have more compelling claims. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins have been in sprint handicaps at Wolverhampton and latest was after wind surgery last week; hit a personal best with that comfortable success and he is a big player again despite conceding weight all round back in a classified event. |
5/4 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt here (6f) in March; not disgraced when fourth of ten over C&D last month but disappointed when sent off favourite at Leicester (5f, good) a week later; has undergone wind surgery since; needs to bounce back. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mehmas gelding who took a step forward when third of eight in 5f Southwell maiden 23 days ago; he may do better still with a tongue-tie added, so needs considering. |
3/1 |

1 (2) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
£260,000 breeze-up 2yo; third of seven on his Nottingham debut (5f, good) in June and, having been gelded, finished fifth of 11 under a positive ride at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) 18 days ago (over 3l behind Hypnotised); return to this trip may suit, but he still has work to do. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

£260,000 breeze-up 2yo; gelded since finishing third of seven at Nottingham (5f) three months ago when running on after a tardy start; open to improvement upped in trip. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Speedy type who will probably prove best at 5f; having first run after gelding operation and three months off when second to Wheels Of Fire at Sandown; may well improve for that outing and he still has untapped potential. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Two 6f wins as a 2yo; several creditable efforts this season but has looked held by the handicapper, fifth over this trip at Chester four weeks ago; needs something extra. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) as a 2yo; his best run this season came at Chester when a close second over 7.6f at the May meeting; good third at Hamilton last month (first run after a gelding operation); each-way shout. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two 6f AW wins as a juvenile and he nearly pulled off a step up in trip when going down narrowly at Chester (extended 7f, good) in May; had no chance of getting involved after getting badly hampered on the rail at Epsom in June; gelded since; open to some improvement but he's another trying a new trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-14, but his win was at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month and he went close on his return visit last week; looks interesting off same mark here and his last AW run was a good second over C&D in April. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Appreciated the step back up from 6f when finally off the mark over C&D earlier this month; showed the right attitude that day for Mikkel Mortensen and it will only have boosted confidence; one to consider upped a fair 2lb. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Regressive gelding who's had plenty of chances, in two forms of headgear; the handicapper's been quick to ease off and the step back up from 6f should help but his best efforts have come on the AW. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had a couple of close calls at Newcastle and over C&D in the spring, but he hasn't been at the top of his game in last two starts; overall record is now 0-9 and he needs first-time cheekpieces to make a difference. |
13/2 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-8; involved in some hard-fought finishes over 6f on AW but he probably needs a bit more than a close fifth of five in his first turf handicap, at Catterick in May; ran better than the bare result back on AW last week but still needs to show he's as effective on grass, especially with rain about. |
13/2 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Ed Walker; close second in two 6f handicaps on first two runs for Harriet Bethell; 2l last of five at Catterick last time (6f); drop in trip could suit; contender. |

1st 8 (17) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained two emphatic wins in May after the cheekpieces went on, the second one over this C&D (good to firm); a 10lb rise seemed to find him out when third of four at Newbury (1m, good to firm) the following month and he needs to resume his progress; unraced on ground slower than good. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge. |
11/10 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Came good at seventh attempt, drawing clear to win comfortably by 6l in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (7f, good) ten days ago; 4lb well in under 6lb penalty here; obvious claims if suited by the new trip. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has been running respectably in nurseries and now drops back in distance; vulnerable to anything progressive but should give another good account from low draw. |
11/2 |
|
8 (1) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kept on for third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and suited by the step up in trip when second there (8.6f) last time, when clear of the third; thereabouts if the return to turf isn't an issue. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Too Darn Hot colt who is out of 1m/8.5f winner; no impact in four runs so far but he made some late headway when third on nursery debut here (7f) 12 days ago; that was eyecatching and he looks interesting on this step up in trip. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and has continued in good heart, not beaten far when eighth of 16 in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) before close third of four at Goodwood (5f, soft); he's in with an each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to winning form over C&D (good) last month, aided by first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and the drop back to the minimum trip; respectable midfield finish in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last Friday and holds strong claims back down in grade. |
6/4 |
|
8th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All turf races have been on good or quicker but dam's best form was on soft; sole 2yo win was over 7f on the AW; ran well for a long way over 6f at Ascot on second run back and proved thoroughly at home over the new 5f trip at Goodwood (good; first-time cheekpieces) since, racing well within himself and coming clear for an impressive win; up 6lb but has better to come. |

Well down the field in three 6f maiden/novice races this summer but ought to be suited by this extra furlong and is another who may fare better now switched to a low-grade nursery. |

14-1 when soundly beaten ninth of 11 on last month's debut at Ffos Las (6f, good) and she's probably best watched for now. |
