2nd 6 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Shaped with encouragement on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f) in April and built on that at Thirsk (1m4f, good) 34 days ago, finishing second of 11; up 3lb but he should have more to offer over this trip; major contender. |

2nd 3 (5) |
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. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
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. |
14/1 |

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. |

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. |
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. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (16) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Mixed bag as 2yo but improved form in two 1m2f Newmarket handicaps this term; had it all his own way up front in five-runner race last time (good to firm) but stretched clear impressively from over 1f out; 8lb higher in a much more competitive affair today, but runner-up Sahara King went close in the always-strong London Gold Cup next time; considered. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
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. |

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. |

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 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |

Showed a bit more when dropped into a classified and sixth at Windsor (good to soft) three weeks ago; still fairly early days. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Fourth on seasonal/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) was his best result but a heavy defeat in 11.6f handicap at Lingfield (good to firm) dents any appeal. |

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. |
33/1 |
