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. |

Comfortably prevailed at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time but is no certainty to follow up, having done all his winning in Scotland; on a career-high mark. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Novice win in 2024 remains his sole win in 18 Flat races and he has performed poorly in his two previous visits here; well-held third over hurdles last week; not overly appealing. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
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. |
16/1 |

5th 5 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Snapped a losing sequence when he landed an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good; stays further) in June; shaped as though this longer trip and stiffer track would help at Thirsk last time; should have a say. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Closely matched with Jesmond Dawn on last month's runs at Ripon and it wasn't going to be easy in a Class 4 at York last time (33-1); this is more his level. |
10/1 |
|
7th 15 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Arrives on a recent high after a win at Musselburgh and a second at Ripon (both 1m, good); should give his running but he's up in grade here. |

0-13 but has been placed on his last two runs; a visor replaces cheekpieces on this step up in trip and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; plenty of positives and should go close. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

11th 12 (9) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1m turf and 1m2f AW winner for the Crisfords but he never took off for Mike Smith and finished last of seven on his stable debut ten weeks ago; impossible to recommend without a market move to offer revival hopes. |

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. |

9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |

3rd 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

Got up late to win a 0-70 over this C&D in April off a 3lb lower mark but he was disappointing here in June following a break; needs to bounce back after two months off. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

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. |
