25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran up against smart types on first two 7f starts, on this track and at York (both on good), keeping on pleasingly into third on debut, then ran to similar level next time; was in the right place at the right time, unlike the second, when winning a C&D novice in September; open to improvement as a 3yo; goes handicapping with cheekpieces fitted. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Third in a novice here in May and similar form when fourth at York (again 7f on good) four weeks later; better is probably needed but 1m+ can help and his stable bids to win this race for the fifth year in succession. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
A string of minor honours but no win from his eight races; disappointing on good to firm at Ascot in May, in between showing his best form at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and Sandown (1m2f, good); blinkers were fitted for that latest start, when he came from the back for fifth of 12 despite carrying his head high, and this race is markedly less competitive. |
5/2 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame in his last six starts, but was disappointing when fourth of five at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) last month; may not have appreciated the fast ground, but still has something to prove; blinkers given a go. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden but he looked unlucky not to collect on his 1m3f Kempton reappearance in April, just failing have been denied a clear run; has looked a little ungainly on occasions but he's talented enough to win races. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise at up to 1m in three maiden/novice runs on good or faster ground; cheekpieces enlisted prior to this handicap debut; new trip should suit and he is one to take seriously. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Some market support when showing fair form in a maiden at Sandown (7f, good) last July and novice at Haydock (1m, good) in September; carries head high but still enters calculations. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
By Australia out of 7f 2yo winner (RPR 95); 12-1 from 18-1 for maiden at Sandown (7f, good) six weeks ago, fading into sixth of 11 but he showed significant ability and should improve. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-5; both his handicaps have been at Chester (1m2f; good then good to soft); the third was encouraging and then reportedly unsuited by ground that connections described as tacky; cheekpieces go on this time and hard to discount. |
7/1 |
|
8th 9 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Has improved with each of his four runs to date, resuming from nine months off with a very good third on his handicap debut over C&D 13 days ago; well in the mix off an unchanged mark. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 10 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Finished closer each time in his three-race 2yo career and met trouble in running when fourth of nine at Haydock (1m, good) on final outing, looking on an even keel only very late in the day when running on well; gelded the following day; highly likely to stay and he's a fascinating handicap newcomer who needs a close look for any strength behind him in the betting. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
He's raced four times this season and has suffered heavy defeats on three occasions, but two starts ago he easily made all at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) and it might be dangerous to write him off. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Left his first three handicap efforts behind when making all with ease over 1m4f at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago, proving well suited by the significant step up in trip; an extra 2f ought to be within range on that evidence, although this is a much stiffer track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip. |

1st 5 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has contested four 1m4f handicaps this season and won twice in small fields on the AW, latterly despite veering badly right; 22-1 for red-hot race at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on latest outing but finished strongly for sixth of 19, which looked promising for today's test off 2lb higher. |
5/2 |
|
6th 18 (16) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Pontefract 1m2f winner (soft) as 2yo; contested three 1m4f handicaps this season and came a creditable third at Chester (good) in between winning twice in small fields on AW; latest win was despite veering badly right, away from the whip; up 4lb and, although he may have more in the tank, this race looks so much harder. |
28/1 |
|
1st 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Rounded off his 2yo campaign with a game 1m2f win at Pontefract (soft), after which he was gelded; made all to beat his sole opponent in a Southwell match (1m4f) last month but he could manage only third behind that reopposing rival at Chester (a solid effort nevertheless) three weeks ago; still capable of better; trainer also saddles High Storm. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort when third of 11 on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) last month; drop in trip may be no bad thing and cheekpieces are given a go; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't live up to market expectations in two juvenile runs and was tailed off on his reappearance here (1m2f, good to soft) in March; been gelded since and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come. |
6/4 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied. |
14/1 |
|
9th 6 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only beat two rivals home in his three novice/maiden runs as a 2yo (all 1m); gelded since last seen; surprising if this stoutly-bred 3yo couldn't leave those efforts well behind now his stamina is being more fully tested. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November but recent third of five here (11.4f, good to firm) was perfectly respectable and he may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m1f, AW) last November but has had a very mixed record at this level since, albeit this lesser test than at Newbury recently should be in his favour as he is down in grade and back on his winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last November; flopped on his first two runs this year but back on song with 5l third of 11 at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when shaping as though this step up in trip could be a good move; respected. |
