5th 1 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Landed 7f novice at Lingfield on his debut in September but he has failed to beat a rival in both subsequent starts, going freely when last of six on his handicap debut at Newmarket (7f) four weeks ago. Hood is now reached for. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two runs last September, belying 25-1 odds when quite impressive over 7f on Lingfield AW; had a much stiffer task at Epsom after (about 1m, good), albeit ran as well as could have been expected in a three-runner conditions race; should have some handicap potential off his opening mark. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Belied market weakness with promising debut in Lingfield contest (7f, AW) and appeared to win with something left up his sleeve; gave the impression he'll stay this longer trip; open to progress. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
May not have achieved that much when justifying odds of 1-2 in a Lingfield novice (1m, AW; first start since being gelded) in February and was well beaten on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; this is only his second start on turf, but other look more compelling. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Delivered on 2yo promise when dominating five-runner Lingfield novice (1m) from the front in February; unlikely to have things all his own way in this much stronger race but probably still has potential. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Stepped up on debut when second over 7f here last September and advanced his RPR again when third in 7f Newmarket maiden later that month; those efforts set the standard here; has been gelded ahead of reappearance. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Some late headway when fifth at Doncaster (6f; 16-1) on penultimate start, and a similar story over the sharp 7f at Musselburgh subsequently; mark continues to ease and best run for previous trainer was on AW at Lingfield; no forlorn hope. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; bettered inauspicious seasonal/stable debut when fifth of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and, with this return to 7f likely to suit, could plausibly take another step forward here. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best effort for John Ryan (from whom he was picked up for 10,000gns) last year came on the AW; poor debut effort for his new yard a month ago and needs to improve a lot on that. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Wore cheekpieces last two outings and latest brought easily his best show as a 3yo, when soon close up for a rallying second of 12 over C&D (good; probably acts on good to firm); Bridge Of Eagles and Tambora were in close attendance that day and this one is now 1lb worse off; in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent as a 2yo, winning a novice at Salisbury in October (7f, good), but having been gelded he has been held in two 1m handicaps since returning in April; more needed upped in trip, though Oisin Murphy is 1-1 on him. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Similar form in four 2yo runs, getting off the mark at Salisbury in October (7f, good); never in contention in a Newmarket handicap on his reappearance (1m, good); cheekpieces now reached for. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Changed stables this spring and he was a close third on his first two runs for the yard (7f, good/good to firm) before a deserved win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month, getting off the mark at the tenth attempt with Flight Control and Three Non Blondes close up; respected up just 2lb. |
11/2 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to score but he built up a solid record for Simon and Ed Crisford and has shaped well on both runs for his new yard when a close third in handicaps at York (7f) and over C&D; can race off the same mark here so another bold showing is on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 12 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-8 but he was consistent for the Crisfords and made a good start for new yard when close third in big-field handicap at York (7f, good) last month; ties in closely with French Affair on that form and he's in the mix. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
3yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt when swooping late for a last-gasp win over C&D (soft) last month; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem; respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to score but she was runner-up for the third time at Windsor (1m) in May and then suffered a very poor run when beaten just over 2l into fifth in 1m Newmarket handicap four weeks ago; merits serious consideration despite 2lb weights rise. |
3/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to score but she looked unlucky when going mighty close on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) in September; bettered that form, despite taking a firm hold and being a little mucked about, when narrowly denied again at Windsor (1m, good to firm; Tamzan second) last Monday; hood added and she's 2lb well-in; key player. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who won on handicap/seasonal debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in April and good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) next time; disappointing at Musselburgh three weeks ago but could leave that behind back on AW; well worth a second look with yard in excellent form. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Picked up from Roger Varian for 40,000gns; edged home on his handicap debut over 7f and again did his best work late at Kempton (1m, AW) when closing in on Blues And Royals with whom he's closely matched; goes further again here with little weight to carry and looks a major player. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Picked up from Roger Varian for 40,000gns last autumn and had excuses on debut for his current yard (then gelded); easy to back, travelled well and got there in the nick of time on his 7f Lingfield comeback; improvement left upped 3lb. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Did well in his first four handicaps on the AW during the winter (1222), but last two efforts have been modest including on his return to turf last time; needs the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers to make a difference. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gelded and well backed when making all on handicap debut at Newcastle in December; runner-up on his next three starts but form dipped at Southwell (also 7f, AW) towards the end of March; having just his second go on turf and could be well drawn to attack. |
15/2 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nursery win in December (first run since gelded) came off a 12lb lower mark and he's been expensive to follow since; nudged up a further 3lb since his C&D second (first-time cheekpieces; retained) last time to Illy's Roo and needs to find a bit more. |

Triple-figure odds when showing low-level form at Lingfield in September (7f, AW) and two weeks ago (6f, good); hooded in the latter, having refused to enter stalls at Nottingham (300-1) in April; no claims yet. |
