17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
0-6 this year but he's been knocking firmly at the door, including in Group 1 events; tends to come from behind and ended up with too much to do when fourth in C&D Group 3 (13-8 favourite) two weeks ago; somewhat unlucky (needed to be switched) when a fine third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup here in June; may still have potential and dangerous if getting the rub of the green. |

4th 8 (2) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
A better sprinter than the bare form suggests as he hasn't had much luck this year, having to make a detour when a fast-finishing third of 22 in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup here (6f, good to firm) in June and seemingly not as well suited by the track at Newmarket when fifth in Group 1 July Cup next time, when also having to negotiate a difficult draw; he only just failed to win a Group 1 at Deauville (6.5f) since and looks sure to go well back here. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Minor honours in half of his eight races, including twice on AW (once C&D) last month; hanging left did not help the cause when favourite at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 11 days ago but that experiment with a longer trip is abandoned and a tongue-tie is enlisted. |
6/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
He's beginning to look exposed despite just the seven races; last month's fourth at Kempton and third at Southwell (both 1m on AW) were his first returns this year; needs to find a bit extra and this longer trip is worth a go. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced gelding who was placed at Yarmouth (6f) last time and could take another step forward; tongue-tie now applied; sole runner on the card for his Newmarket stable and looks interesting at this level. |
5/2 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stablemate of leading contender Division; recorded a meagre RPR with midfield finish at Windsor (6f, good) but looked green and may improve with the experience under his belt. |

38,000euros foal, 42,000gns yearling, 75,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; Blue Point half-brother to Italian 9.5f winner Flamenco Bay, out of 5f AW 2yo scorer (84); major stable; heed the market signals. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June and again there the following month after a lesser effort on turf; possibly did too much too soon there next time and was reported to have hung right throughout when failing to beat a rival at Kempton (6f, AW) three weeks ago; 0-8 on turf. |

All or nothing of late and did too much too soon at Wolverhampton 26 days ago; rather watch in this company; course debut. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Showed some promise for Andrew Balding last year but he has beaten just one rival home in three starts for new connections (including after a wind op before the latest); drops back to 6f with a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
14th 13 (14) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has weak claims on her AW efforts for new yard and chance partly depends on the effects of a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f for Andrew Balding last year and he was last of six at here over 8.5f on his handicap/stable debut 37 days ago; drops back in trip with a tongue-tie applied; better needed. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Made the breakthrough in a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) in April but he's been well held in three subsequent runs including over C&D; overall record is now 1-8 and he needs to get back on track. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Couldn't reward market support on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f) in March but he got the job done dropped to 6f at Southwell (Tapeta) one month later; only midfield at Wolverhampton last month but things didn't go to plan that day and he remains unexposed at this trip. |
11/2 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Showed improved form when getting off the mark at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; never figured when fifth of nine at Leicester (6f, good) last month; not one to give up on. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won 6f maiden on Newcastle AW as 2yo for previous yard but has found it a mighty struggle since, without and with headgear (first-time visor today); has much to prove over this stiff test and needs more weight off back. |
25/1 |
|
11th 1 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Newcastle maiden (6f, Tapeta) for George Boughey last October, but he's struggled in four runs for new yard this year; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a major revival back on AW; blinkers removed. |
33/1 |
|
10th 3 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not solid on his 7f form this term for new yard but may prove resurgent back at 6f in first-time blinkers; gained his 2yo win over this trip. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Not quite the same horse on Kempton AW last time as he had been over C&D in August, firstly when depriving Pennine Way (good to firm) before finishing a close second next time, but should have a part to play back here. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-14, but his win was at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month and he went close on his return visit last week; looks interesting off same mark here and his last AW run was a good second over C&D in April. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Appreciated the step back up from 6f when finally off the mark over C&D earlier this month; showed the right attitude that day for Mikkel Mortensen and it will only have boosted confidence; one to consider upped a fair 2lb. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Fair maiden who went too freely tried in cheekpieces when last of ten in 7f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; could bounce back now the headgear is dispensed with. |
8/1 |
|
10th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No improvement for handicapping yet but she has finished third in three of her last four starts; cheekpieces now added but when tried in blinkers she pulled hard and was well beaten. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed over 7f-1m at Southwell in two of her five starts; reportedly ran too freely in newly applied blinkers (discarded now) at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; it's back to basics now. |
