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. |

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. |

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

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; on the up this season, running well from a poor draw at Chester (6f, good) on his reappearance before winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; took his form to a new level when beating older horses at Chester (5f, good to soft) and the manner of that success offered hope of further progress; 1lb wrong under his penalty but horses arriving on the back of a recent win have fared well in this race (Latin Lover won, Dream Composer and Radio Goo Goo both placed) and Toby Moore takes off 7lb; central draw perhaps not ideal but plenty to like otherwise. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
The only 3yo in the line-up; began career with two course wins (5.5f/6f, good) last spring and built upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance when scoring at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn today and could still have more to offer if suited by this trip-and-ground combination. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Began his career with a pair of 5f wins at Chester last May; progress stalled last summer but he returned from a 223-day absence with a good run back at Chester three weeks ago, third of 12 in a 6f handicap on good ground (wide draw); looks on a good mark but can he deliver away from Chester? |

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 |

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 |

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. |
9/1 |

4th 4 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Ended his steadily progressive 2yo campaign by scoring readily at Doncaster (sole handicap attempt) then running well in the Horris Hill at Newbury, both over 7f (soft/good to soft); may well have more to offer this term and enters calculations on reappearance. |

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. |

3rd 4 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |

Promise as a 2yo; gelded prior to his reappearance in which he won a 7f Catterick maiden in good style; hit with a 6lb rise for that but 1m should suit and further progress seems likely; trainer in good form. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in a handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month and got off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a steadily run maiden at Catterick (7f) 20 days ago; steps up in trip (his brother stays a 1m) and has place claims returned to a handicap. |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive winner of two of his three AW handicaps as 2yo, at 7f and 1m, and his reappearance fifth of nine on the Rowley course (1m, good to firm) in May hinted at better to come; never reached a challenging position over C&D in June but has less to do this time; has to be considered. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Built upon previous promise (including on turf) to win two nurseries in a row at the end of last year (7f/1m, AW); respectable fifth on last month's reappearance on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) and could show the benefit of that outing today; possible player. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark at the eighth attempt in Chelmsford nursery (7f, AW) last November on his second AW start, and he again had plenty in hand when following up at Kempton (1m, AW); needs to transfer that improvement back to turf but he did show promise on grass last season; not ruled out. |

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. |
50/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Bounced back with a bang from a disappointing nursery debut when responding well to see off a short-priced favourite over 7f at Sandown (soft) 12 days ago; a 4lb rise doesn't look too severe with the front two clear and he's one of few in the line-up who has proved he's effective on going softer than good. |
