17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In good form over 1m/10.3f (good) prior to winning at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) in August; kept on well for respectable fifth in Listed race at Newbury (7f, good) four weeks ago and could build on that latest performance now back up to 1m; no surprise to see a big run. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
AW winner who belatedly opened his turf account in Chester handicap (7.5f; back from a break) most recently; however, appears to need another career-best performance to follow up. |

9st 6lb |
0-16 on turf but usually runs his race; runner-up at this track (10.5f, good) when last seen in May; may find this on the sharp side having not been seen in races less than 1m since his juvenile days. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Returned from a break with a convincing handicap win at Southwell (7f, AW) in August; of interest on that form but his best performances have come on AW or soft/heavy going and he was down the field in a Listed race at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago; something to prove on the forecast ground. |
28/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Had wind surgery after finishing sixth in the Lincoln on his reappearance and returned with a career best to comfortably win 7f Southwell handicap seven weeks ago; that was his first outing over short of 1m and he won't need to raise his game much more to make an impact in his first Listed race. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has some flashes of smart form (including on sole AW start when second to Notable Speech) so it's disappointing that he's won just once in ten races, and more new headgear was tried when sixth on his reappearance in the Lincoln; that was a pretty good effort from off the pace and he returns from another break after wind surgery and with no aids fitted; has a fair record when fresh, so dangerous to dismiss. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in February and soft ground and the lack of a recent run were probably against him at Yarmouth last month, when the visor was absent (back on today); however, he was well beaten and it's hard to be optimistic on the back of that. |
25/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Promising start for this yard when beaten 3l at Meydan in January before winning an Abu Dhabi handicap (1m, good) with more in hand than the winning margin; respectable fifth back at Meydan in February but below that form at that track the following month; first start for 194 days and the market may help to assess his prospects. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
On a long losing run but a useful AW performer at his best; off 7 months before coming in only 11th in 1m1f York handicap on his return last month but this C&D winner bounce back. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Smart handicapper at his peak but his form tailed off in the second half of 2025; has a reduced mark to work with as a result but the betting is perhaps the best guide after 198 days off. |

Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |

7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |
13/2 |

8th 2 (10) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back. |
10/1 |

8th 15 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Seemed disappointing last time but perhaps had an issue as a tongue-tie is now fitted; has plenty of respectable handicap form otherwise and was an unlucky third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup earlier in May; not written off. |
14/1 |
|
18th 11 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) last September on final 3yo start and returned to form when third to Mirsky in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained), which he may well have won granted a clear run; lightly raced and in top hands; firmly in calculations. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Nottingham maiden (1m, good) and a Yarmouth handicap (1m1f, soft) last year; respectable sixth (Mirsky third) of 12 in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance three weeks ago; wandered around a little under pressure there and now refitted with the cheekpieces he wore once last season; could resume his progression and much respected from a handy inside stall. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

Winless this year and only 2-36 overall; however, a repeat of his recent third in what looked a stronger race at Newmarket (1m1f, good) would see him on the scene. |

3rd 7 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Has an overall strike-rate of 2-35 and winless this year despite the odd respectable effort; he'd be a surprise winner against rivals who have greater scope for improvement. |

11th 9 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

10th 6 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Haydock maiden winner on last year's return and he again made a successful reappearance when impressively taking ten-runner Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) in April; bit below that form when beaten 8l at Goodwood (City Of Delight second, Urban Glimpse behind) off this mark six weeks ago, however. |
