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 Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Acts well at Chester (three course wins; had the widest draw there last week) but he did win away from that track at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May; this test looks a stretch off his current mark |

Wins at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) and C&D (good to soft) this summer; lacklustre run at York last month and while his course record reads 11312, stall 10 might complicate matters. |

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. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Performed with credit in three good 3yo handicaps this year and didn't get run of the race when third over 1m at the Newmarket July meeting last time; should be fine back at 7f and is probably a major player. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
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. |

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. |

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. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off nine rivals at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; those in behind who've run since haven't done much for the form but he's a 3yo on the up. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (6) |
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 |

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. |

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 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two of her three wins have been over this C&D, the most recent in a steadily run race 26 days ago, form that has since been franked by the second; now just 3lb higher and is considered, but stall 13 doesn't make things easy for this prominent-racer. |
7/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Off the mark when winning at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last November and followed up over this C&D next time; only 2lb higher than for that most recent success but he faded into fifth behind Starlight Time here 16 days ago; each-way claims. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won soft-ground nursery at Sandown (7f) off just 1lb lower at the end of last summer; creditable 2l fourth of eight in 7f Ascot 3yo-only handicap (good) 13 days ago, shaping as if this return to 1m may suit; that was only his second outing of the year so he's also fresh for this stage of the season; interesting. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Sole win came on soft ground at Sandown 12 months ago when only 2lb lower; since then he's performed okay in two handicaps on either side of a sales-race assignment; has yet to prove himself on fast ground but this is only his second run after a gelding operation; wouldn't be too dismissive. |
