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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Usually held up; change of tactics backfired at Redcar last time so he may be best judged on August form, namely a comfortable win at Ayr and good third at Goodwood; not dismissed, despite remaining on career-high mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Better than ever on last two starts when winning comfortably at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) and a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, soft); ground firmer than good would be a concern. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
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. |

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. |

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. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Completed a hat-trick (1m2f/1m, heavy-good to firm) at Thirsk in May and returned to form when runner-up at Nottingham (1m, good) on October 1; well beaten at York (1m2f, good to soft) last Saturday but ran well for a long way and he's not discounted back down to 1m. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Compelted a hat-trick at Thirsk (1m, good) in May and he's of interest on that form, but two lesser performances have followed at York and he needs to get back on track. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed his fourth win at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June off 2lb lower; mainly creditable efforts since; soft ground may have been against him when below his best at Ayr last month, and he might have found the Redcar race ten days ago a tad too competitive; drops back in grade here. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole success in last two seasons came at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; possibly unsuited by soft ground when fading into fifth of eight at Ayr two weeks ago; ran well the time before and may rebound. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
15-race maiden but runner-up in two of his last three runs, including a bold bid from a wide draw at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; back up 2lb but he remains well treated on his best form and is a key player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 8 (11) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
14-race maiden; two good placed efforts in midsummer but he was a well-beaten fifth when strong in the market at Ffos Las (1m4f, good; visor replaced cheekpieces) last month; returning to 1m2f in his favour and handles slow ground; could bounce back quickly. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
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. |

Won at 1m on turf and 1m2f on AW for previous yard but he's failed to beat a rival in three runs for this stable, including over C&D; dropped 12lb since the first of them but can only watch. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

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 Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
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. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (5) |
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 |

Justified favouritism at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) on return from break last time, making it two wins from her last three starts (no win previously); upped in grade but may be capable of further progress over this distance; shortlisted. |

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. |
