10th 5 (23) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 6f novice races last season (good to firm/good) and added 7f Listed honours on the AW in February, after which he was gelded; never really sighted when behind some of these on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f; 18-1) but that was after nearly three months away; entitled to run better this afternoon but others are probably on kinder marks. |
66/1 |
|
12th 2 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Absent and gelded since bagging Listed honours at Lingfield in February when upped to 7f and making AW debut; needs to prove he can transfer that improved form to handicap level and back to turf; otherwise unexposed over this distance and hard to dismiss. |
16/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Two 6f wins at Windsor last summer before finishing seventh in the Group 1 Middle Park; unplaced but ran creditably in three sprint runs in Dubai this year; steps up to 7f with each-way claims. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ran quite well from the front when upped to 1m at Kempton (AW) last month, but managed only sixth when favourite at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) three weeks ago; now 0-10 and needs to find something extra on this turf return. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran right up to his best when fourth of 13 at Kempton (1m) two weeks ago; draw could have been kinder but he could have more to offer in blinkers. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice in five completions last year, but having been gelded he has run below that form in a couple of handicaps this term; first-time blinkers worn last time are persevered with. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
3yo who won his first three handicaps (6f, turf/AW) and bounced back from heavy Ascot defeat (6f, good) with respectable fourth at Kempton (6f, AW) latest; he has plenty of speed and this first crack at 5f is well worth a go. |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a Leicester nursery win; further progress with his two C&D wins in early April; well beaten in a big-field Ascot handicap in his bid for a four-timer last month; career-best effort required. |
10/1 |
|
19th 9 (20) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fine stamp who is unbeaten since contesting handicaps; made all to land his third such race when defying penalty to score at Kempton (6f, AW; Hallo Spaceboy second, Night Mission fifth) one month ago; also won on turf (good to soft, acts on good) and doesn't have to lead; impossible to ignore in current mood. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't progressed from a promising debut second at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in August on his two runs since (6f, good to firm/good) but there have been firm hints that this step up to 7f will help on nursery debut. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has made the frame in 6f events on good to firm ground at Haydock (second behind a subsequent scorer) and Newmarket (rallying fourth); one of the main form contenders. |
7/1 |
|
2 (3) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
45,000gns yearling from the family of Haydock Sprint Cup winner The Tin Man; 9-2 at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and finished an encouraging second after getting the hang of things late on; the winner had the benefit of experience; must be considered. |

£170,000 yearling; by Dark Angel; sibling to four winners, notably Trefor (5.4f/6f including 2yo; 103) and Binhareer (6f/7f including 2yo; RPR 95); holds two major entries; interesting newcomer. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced gelding who was placed at Yarmouth (6f) last time and could take another step forward; tongue-tie now applied; sole runner on the card for his Newmarket stable and looks interesting at this level. |
5/2 |
|
3 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stablemate of leading contender Division; recorded a meagre RPR with midfield finish at Windsor (6f, good) but looked green and may improve with the experience under his belt. |
10/1 |

6th 7 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win from nine starts came in a nursery at Brighton (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last September; clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month and it was another solid effort at Brighton (7f) three weeks ago; drops back in trip with claims. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a nursery over C&D (good to firm; first time cheekpieces) last September and was returning from 166 days off when a clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) on Saturday (taking her record under Ashley Lewis to 122); return to this trip should suit; respected. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Wolverhampton winner for Ashley Lewis last autumn off 3lb lower; runs in a sprint for the first time since handicapping and would want to see a bit of market strength back from almost six months off. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; fair efforts in the last two of his three runs for current yard but his latest second was in a three-runner race at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); this drop back in trip could suit but he needs to find more to make the breakthrough on turf. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; ran well on the second of two outings for current stable when third of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; this looks easier and he should go close, at the least. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on AW within five days in March and has perfomed just as well on turf since then; could have run better on stable debut at Sandown but this looks easier. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Sent off the 4-1 second favourite for his handicap debut at Lingfield in January but he ended up last of the nine runners (7f); now tried in blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
2 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown little in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack and may not come into his own until earning a mark; stable also runs the newcomer Rugby Union. |

4 (6) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed twice over 6f for new stable this spring (turf/Polytrack) and also has form over 7f; needs to bounce back from a poor turf run in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago but has slipped to a tempting mark and will be dangerous if he responds well to first-time blinkers. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; respectable efforts in 6f/7f handicaps for new yard this year and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him too much extra having been eased a further 2lb. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; placed in two of his three runs for new yard this season but he was beaten almost 5l when third at Kempton last time; edging down the weights but he needs to find more back up in trip. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Set a strong pace before weakening into sixth of 11, beaten 4.5l, behind Elashgar here (6f) last week; continues to edge down the weights and dropping to 5f may help. |
6/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Overall record is patchy; set an unsustainable gallop over 7f here 25 days ago when tried in a visor for the first time; well drawn now back at 6f and Sean Levey takes over for the first time; could yet come good off his reduced mark (dropped 10lb in four handicap runs). |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Finished down the field in all six runs and was behind Frankali when sixth at Lingfield (7f) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he took a strong hold last time and needs improvement with visor added. |
