11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Left good-ground debut behind when making all over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; turns out he faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7lb to last weekend's Kempton Group 3 winner Five Ways back there (6f, good to firm again) last month, sticking on for a clear second in a style which suggests this step back up to 7f may help on nursery debut; William Buick retains the ride; considered. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field at Haydock on last month's debut (7f, good) but he left that form behind when a front-running C&D winner three weeks ago (good to firm); he will need to improve again to defy a penalty but that's certainly not out of the question. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Always in rear and beat just one rival in 7f contest at Haydock, producing a modest RPR; doesn't look an imminent winner. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won two in a row at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) and Chester (5f, good to soft) before midfield finish at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) and runner-up to an odds-on winner at Chester (6f, good) last time; he's particularly effective at Chester but is not ruled out each-way on his first run here. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

Third Chester success when beating older horses over 5f (good to soft; has won on good to firm) last month; never involved behind Calico Blue in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot since but his 1131 course record suggests a much better run is likely now. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Had a bit to spare when making it third time lucky at Catterick (7f, good) 37 days; promising third on good to soft prior to that; should continue to go the right way for his top 2yo stable. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth of five when 5-6 at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) on debut but he showed more when third of five at Ayr (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago, albeit well positioned before well held; that sets the standard on RPRs; yard won this in 2023. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Overwhelmed rivals on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last September and even better in defeat in a Group 3 at Newbury after; looked sure to improve upon a useful return at Goodwood (7f, good) in May when upped to 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot but he could never gather momentum after getting hampered 2f out; remains one to be interested in. |
4/1 |

7th 11 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Bundles of promise last season even before winning easily on his handicap debut and finishing third in the Group 3 Horris Hill when soft ground might not have been to his liking; his reappearance offered lots of hope for the future, finishing fourth of 17 at Goodwood (7f, good) behind horses with kinder draws and nothing was finishing stronger than this colt; running style and pedigree shouts improvement over this longer trip; he might be the one. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) in June and ran well off this 5lb higher mark when 1l fourth of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's necessary if he's to return to winning ways in this hotter contest. |

4th 12 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Sole 3yo in this field; maiden last term; gelded prior to posting form figures of 131 (over 7f-1m) this season, the wins on sharp, left-handed tracks, namely Catterick (good) and Chester (good to soft); open to further improvement, should take well to Thirsk and receives weight all round; respected. |
11/4 |

1st 9 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two narrow wins over 7f (good to firm) either side of apparently failing to stay 1m at Goodwood in June but he found just the one pace when sixth of 11 at Ascot last month and it remains to be seen whether he's still on a winning mark. |
3/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made the breakthrough when scrambling home in Catterick maiden in May and he broke his handicap duck with another neck success at Leicester (also 7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he might be capable of better. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Didn't have to improve to reward odds-on backers in a 7f maiden at Catterick in May; creditable fifth in a 1m handicap at Goodwood two weeks ago and the return to 7f in a slightly weaker race should see him on the premises. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden who ran well in all three handicaps at 7f and 1m, making most when runner-up over this trip at Newmarket (good) in September; this looks a tough race in which to get off the mark; yard also runs Mr Seagull. |
14/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
0-6 but has run well in all three nurseries, including over C&D and when second to Big Song at Newmarket latest (1m, good; beaten about 3l); he's 4lb better off with Big Song today and could be the better suited of the pair by this return to 7f; blinkers replace cheekpieces; might not be far away. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

0-5 but positive performances in this visor in his two nurseries (7f, good to firm/good to soft), most recently keeping on for second at Doncaster (albeit no match for the winner); 1m is worth a go; might not be far away. |

Ended 2025 with a pair of AW wins, the second coming over C&D off 5lb lower; the handicapper has been in command this year but he's not discounted back on AW. |

Nursery wins on final two starts last year (7f/1m, AW) and he returned to form when third of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; today's longer trip could be within range for this Without Parole colt and he might not be far away. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed promise against talented rivals before winning a 7f Sandown handicap (soft) last August, relishing that stiff finish; creditable show in a higher grade at Doncaster after before well held in a valuable sales race last October; gelded since and he should stay 1m; of interest. |
12/1 |

25th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Softening ground wouldn't harm having won his 7f Sandown nursery on soft and run perfectly well off his 4lb higher mark at Doncaster (good to soft); this is a different kettle of fish altogether and he probably lacks the scope for the improvement that he'll need. |
