9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second run came in the valuable Convivial maiden at York; second favourite when winning from the front in a seven-runner novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, mostly in a clear lead before holding off the 4-7 favourite by a neck; bred to stay 1m2f+; open to further improvement. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a neck on first two runs before his front-running and rallying fifth of eight in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm; sole run in cheekpieces) in October, just over 2l behind third-placed Del Maro; clear before halfway when 11-10 for a four-runner novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago but had to battle for a short-head win; while he still looks a work in progress and 1m4f+ is likely to suit, he'd be a surprise winner of this. |
14/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a neck on his first two runs last year before excelling himself to finish fifth in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in October; should go close if ready to roll. |
4/9 |
|
6 (2) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten a neck in maiden at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) and novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft); did his best work late on last time (wears cheekpieces today) and that was promising for 1m2f but he is bottom of this pack on ratings. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ran twice over 1m at Ayr last autumn, on second occasion stretching 5l clear when 2-7 in a four-runner novice (heavy); made his reappearance in a warm handicap here last week, weakening markedly behind Stoneacre Donny but perhaps both in need of the race (28-1) and stretched by the 1m4f; better may well be forthcoming this time. |
25/1 |

10th 2 (10) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran twice over 1m at Ayr last autumn, on second occasion leading over 1f out and stretching 5l clear when 2-7 in a four-runner novice (heavy); this warm handicap is a very different assignment, while some of today's rivals look more stoutly bred, but he's unexposed and promising. |
12/1 |
|

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Weak in the betting but showed promise when third on debut over C&D three weeks ago (good to soft), faring best of the newcomers; open to improvement and holds leading claims this afternoon. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Showed ability in novice company but no immediate impact in handicaps when down the field at Hamilton (8.5f, good) 19 days ago; raced freely that day and will need to settle better over this longer trip. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has been brought along steadily, going freely when fourth of eight in 1m Wetherby novice 19 days ago; looks to have more to offer now going into handicaps. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well-bred gelding who bettered low-key 2yo debut when respectable fourth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to soft) in September; should have more improvement to come this year but a minor role may be his best hope here. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record in small-field handicaps reads 212 and he finds himself in another one; may again enjoy the run of the race in front and has a good chance of seeing it out. |
2/5 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form sent handicapping over 1m4f for both starts this term, taking second at Wolverhampton (AW) and getting off the mark at Leicester (good); both were in small fields but the former race has had its form boosted substantially and the latter ended up as a clearcut win after he went on over 2f out; latest 3lb rise probably underestimates him. |
11/8 |

1st 2 (3) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Advanced his form after a five-month absence (gelded) when runner-up in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap four weeks ago; up 2lb but he's well in the mix. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Half-sister to a triple winner for her connections; achieved little last autumn but may fare better now handicapping; check the market signals for further guidance. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and ran to the same very modest level in two Ayr events (1m/6f) on easy ground last month; unlikely to have a say. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
5,000euros yearling; 22-1 and it was an inauspicious debut when beaten 49l in 1m Ayr novice (good to soft) in September; has been gelded and goes up in trip for this comeback, both of which might help, but probably one for further down the line. |
25/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Coco Bear (6f including 2yo; RPR 85), Three Yorkshiremen (1m-1m3f including AW; 79), Si Senior (5.7f 2yo/9.7f; 72) and Primeiro Boy (5f turf 2yo/7f AW; 68); the betting should be a good guide as to expectations. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
She's raced three times (7f-8.4f) and her most promising effort came when keeping on for third of five over 7f here last October on debut; this Ulysses filly could improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut and is one to watch in the betting. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Finished well for third of five on 7f Redcar debut (good to soft) last October but form is nothing specials and she was well beaten at Bath later in the month. |
28/1 |

11 (5) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Made a nice debut when also hooded at Redcar (7f, good to soft), finishing well for third; the runner-up won a decent race there earlier this week; bred to stay 1m+; respected. |
