16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Brother to a fairly useful 1m4f winner; finished seventh in three qualifying runs last year and he returned after a gelding operation with a well-held fourth on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in April; needs to find more but it's still early days and he's a possible improver on his step up to this trip. |

4th 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seventh on his debut at Salisbury (1m, heavy) and twice on the AW (also over 1m) in novice events last year; gelded since last seen 141 days ago and now steps up in trip for his handicap debut; market should be informative. |

90,000gns yearling; seventh foal; brother to 1m4f winner Genesius (RPR 84) and half-brother to winners Quest For Fun (6f/7f; 96) and Brielle (1m; 85); dam placed 1m 2yo/8.5f (69), half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 1 winner Parish Hall; one to watch on debut. |

9st 3lb

Ended 2025 with a pair of wins in Kempton nurseries (1m and 7f); he has struggled in two handicaps this time around, however, and comes here with a point to prove. |

8th 6 (2) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two nurseries here last autumn (C&D, 7f), latterly off a 4lb lower mark; made a low-key comeback on rain-softened turf recently (Trio third; Crafty Blue behind) but should fare better back on Polytrack. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Pretty useful form when second in a novice at Salisbury (1m, heavy) on second start, when he beat all bar the market leader and they were clear of a subsequent scorer; close third of five when 5-6 at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on latest outing was fairly lacklustre in comparison, but he's very much the one to beat if reverting to his Salisbury form. |

Up and down in his short career to date, running badly on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month; others appeal more. |
40/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but showed there was a race in him when third in a similar contest over C&D last month; sold for 16,500gns to join new yard subsequently and should be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He fared no better for the step up to 1m4f when fourth of five at Southwell two weeks ago, finishing 16l behind Crown Inn To Win; bred to be useful but he arrives with a point to prove. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Pretty useful in two of his five efforts as 2yo; second favourite for handicap/seasonal debut over C&D (good) 18 days ago but weakened in the final 1f into fourth of eight; that was creditable but he needs to build on it. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Close second in a Goodwood maiden (7f, good to soft) and dominant novice win at Salisbury (1m, heavy) were easily best of his five efforts as 2yo; two of the others were in France; needs to resume progress but will stay 1m2f and is one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5 (8) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Entered in the Royal Lodge and the Dewhurst; dropped out tamely in a French Group 3 last time but had run really well to push a promising Ballydoyle prospect close in a 7f maiden at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft); hard to beat if returning to that level. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Newbury novice (7f, good to soft) for Richard Hannon last September but that was a shock at 125-1 and he's not gone on from that in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he was out the back on recent stable debut at Beverley (first run since gelded) and others are preferred. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
125-1-winner of 7f Newbury novice but he backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m York handicap later in the autumn on his final run for Richard Hannon; gelded/changed hands for 48,000gns since and needs considering for his new yard. |
14/1 |
|
4 (3) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Left his first two runs (1m, good/heavy) miles behind to win at 125-1 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; has an attractive pedigree, so that latest performance is unlikely to be a one-off, and he has the potential to be better than this opening mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Raced rather lazily and finished about 6l behind Lucky Sevens when fourth on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) but has obvious scope to build on that performance over this longer trip. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has beaten one rival in three starts (7f-1m); has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut and makes sense to check the betting; stable also represented by Darkest Red. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Beat nothing home at Epsom and one home at Sandown, both over 7f on good ground; no appeal for now. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark on her second start, at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last September; likely found the step up in grade too hot when last of five in a Listed contest at Pontefract (1m, soft) the following month; makes AW/handicap debut and worth a market check. |
11/2 |
|
5 (3) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Well-beaten third of ten on last month's debut at Salisbury (1m, heavy) but found considerable improvement to win a four-runner novice at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last time; she's a likeable prospect and is in excellent hands to continue to progress. |
3/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |

9-2, didn't achieve a great deal when making late headway for 10.5l third of ten on 1m Salisbury debut (heavy) 15 days ago but should improve for the experience. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made a low-key debut on heavy ground last September but landed a gamble at Bath (1m, good to soft) the following month and made all when odds-on again in a five-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March; the latter performance was on the workmanlike side but gave plenty of encouragement for this longer trip on handicap debut. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made a low-key debut at Salisbury (1m, heavy) last September but he left that form a long way behind when landing a gamble at Bath (1m, good to soft; 10-11) the following month; has a penalty on his return but that latest form has worked out well and he's open to more progress on this step up in trip; strong contender. |
4/6 |
|
6 (9) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two places and almost 2l behind Ethereal Charm at Salisbury last month (1m, heavy), having been sent off way shorter (10-1 versus 150-1); some promise in that debut effort even so, but a good bit more needed. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only modest form shown in a trio of 1m novices at two, too free when seventh at Bath in October; she needs to take a big step forward now going handicapping. |
33/1 |
|
9 (7) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Knew far more about the job at Salisbury latest (1m, heavy), making all until headed 2f out; bare form of that likely well below what's required here, but she can find her level in handicaps after this. |
50/1 |
