1st 7 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in two 1m AW novices late last year, but is a much better performer now contesting handicaps on turf, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago (runner-up was bidding for a five-timer); much respected from 3lb higher if as effective back on Tapeta. |

1st 4 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ran well when upped to 1m4f at Thirsk (good) in May and has run to a similar level in both starts since, including when second of five at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip. |

2nd 6 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

0-6 but he went close in a Thirsk handicap (1m4f, good) in May and backed that up with a creditable third in similar conditions at Goodwood last month; on the same mark as last time and he should be in the mix again; cheekpieces added. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two nurseries here (1m/7f) last October and ran his best race since when second of six at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; continues to drop down the weights and he's a player if he can build on that last run. |

2nd 5 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won two Kempton nurseries (1m/7f) in October but has disappointed on all four starts this year; needs huge boost from the new cheekpieces. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
All three turf races as 2yo were on soft or heavy, making most and rallying stoutly to win a maiden at Nottingham (1m) on final outing; gelded since; seemingly no doubt that he will still be suited by 1m2f+ and nothing to prove if the ground is testing; one to note on seasonal/handicap debut. |

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. |

|
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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Improved form in 1m2f handicaps at the other Newmarket course on his first two starts this term, bossing a five-runner race (good to firm) impressively on second occasion; doing the same off this 8lb higher mark in 16-runner race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; 12-1) wasn't possible but he led entering straight until over 1f out and wasn't at all discredited in seventh (Princling fifth); could get run of the race this time and is one to consider. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
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 three handicaps since, including two for new yard around 7f at the start of the summer; a three-month break needs to have had a reviving effect. |
25/1 |

10th 7 (5) |
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. |

0-8; not disgraced when third of seven in a similar contest over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, but will need to do better again if he is to make an impact. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Posted a fair effort when sixth of 13 in a classified event at Windsor (1m4f, good to soft) last month but he was well beaten at Epsom two weeks ago, taking his record to 0-7; now back into a classified. |
10/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a novice at Hamilton (1m, good to soft) in September on her second start but was well beaten in a Listed event at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time; good effort when beaten a head at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on her reappearance and has solid claims if seeing out this longer trip. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seventh to Arc Ole Ole when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York in May; made favourite again, however, in six-runner race here (again 1m4f on good) 15 days ago and always close up to win by a neck, finding plenty for sustained pressure; up 3lb but it looks as if 1m6f will suit him well. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won at Bath (1m, good to soft) last October on second start and followed up in Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in March; only seventh of 14 when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) five weeks ago but he should retain potential. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seemingly exposed as ordinary, the step up to 1m2f not making any difference last time; is a half-sister to a couple of winning stayers, but that's rather clutching at straws. |
25/1 |
|
9th 4 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest at best as 2yo (best effort on second start) but tenth of 12 on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (AW; 80-1); having dropped back to 7f that day, she now tries a new trip. |
40/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
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. |
