1st 9 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Favourite for handicap debut over C&D (good) in July and duly showed vastly better form, getting on top in a sustained duel with the second; 10-11 at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and, although he took some pushing, he was comfortably on top through the final 1f; raised another 4lb but may well have more to give. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Quiet maiden runs at about 1m but went off favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (1m2f, good) and got the better of a sustained duel with the second (pair clear); raised 7lb but that might not be the end of the world. |
6/4 |
|
3 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Modest efforts to date, last two with a hood (left off here); step up to 1m2f should suit and he's an unexposed sort who can improve on handicap debut. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice last year on good ground, latterly over 1m2f; close to best form when second at Hamilton in June but has disappointed either side of that. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over C&D (good; also suited by soft) last summer and left his low-key reappearance run behind when keeping-on second at Hamilton (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago; still on a workable mark; live claims. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Always towards the rear on reappearance over C&D (good) three weeks ago but may have needed that run; won twice last summer (1m/1m2f, good; including here) and he's on a competitive mark on last autumn's form (including on soft ground); he can be in the mix if bouncing back. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C&D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; can be competitive at this level if he takes well to hurdling at the first attempt. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Caught the eye when fourth of 14 at Haydock (1m2f, good) on penultimate outing, but his other two efforts since getting off the mark at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July have been underwhelming; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Having eighth start when off the mark at Doncaster in July, coming from the rear; readily seen off over 1f out at Sandown 15 days later but was back in good form when fourth behind an impressive winner at Haydock (also 1m2f, good; I Am Me 12th) three weeks ago; contender. |
5/1 |

4th 8 (7) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Eighth start when off the mark at Doncaster in July, coming from the rear; readily seen off over 1f out at Sandown (again 1m2f on good) 15 days later, however, and needs a lot better than that performance. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable. |
7/1 |
|
1st 9 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed narrowly in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m, good) last time, registering a first win since 2024; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form, which includes a Ripon success; headgear removed; should remain competitive. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Winless since November 2024 and tried in cheekpieces when a below-par sixth of 12 in 1m Redcar handicap last month; needs to bounce back with headgear retained. |
11/4 |

6th 5 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

A maiden after 12 runs and not yet proven over this fair but gave good account when third at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) last month and enters calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Still seeking first win (0-11) and now 10lb lower than when runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, good; 2-1 favourite) last August; weakened quickly when last of nine on reappearance at Carlisle (1m1f, good) 12 days ago. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |

9th 3 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame over 1m2f at Windsor (good/soft) on first two starts this year; third of six off this mark on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) was better form but he clearly needs to improve; early days. |
8/1 |
|
5 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
300,000euros yearling; ran poorly at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last November, but has made the frame in two starts over 1m2f at Windsor (good/soft) since returning in June; longer trip should be within range on handicap debut and worth a second look. |
6/1 |
|
6 (11) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
300,000euros yearling by Sea The Stars; dropped right out at Newcastle (1m, AW) last November and gelded in March; much better when third of 11 in Windsor novice (1m2f, good) last month; form has been boosted and he should build on that performance; strong each-way claims at the least. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |

9st 9lb |
Stepped up on her reappearance effort when winning at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, pulling clear of the rest with Lesrico who was runner-up; back up 5lb but she could have a bit more to offer over this trip. |
4/1 |

1st 10 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unraced on softer than good; struggled badly in her four handicaps last season but reappeared with a closer finish when fourth of ten at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; 16-1) late last month; needs to build on that. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded RPRs of 70 (twice) and 75 in her three novice/maiden runs last season; struggled badly in four handicap runs thereafter, dropping 9lb in the process; may bounce back at some point but she is risky back from a 202-day break. |

Off the mark for this yard with a last-gasp C&D win in February; a 3lb rise for that nose success leaves him vulnerable. |

1st 3 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win came on British debut last April (1m1f turf); not with Mike Murphy, who has hit form since this one last ran, long and twice managed third over C&D despite being unwanted in the betting; could be the answer from handy draw. |

Won maiden at Nottingham (1m, good) in June on reappearance but well beaten on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good; 10-1) six weeks ago; this currently looks a tough mark but this is only his fifth race. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well related and showed the right attitude on his comeback early last month but that was an ordinary maiden (runner-up since well held behind Song Brocade); yard among the winners but he needs more now handicapping and upped in trip. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Has become well handicapped, but is usually seen over further and the drop in trip didn't inspire him at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) last month; others preferred. |
