2nd 3 (13) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran respectably in Listed grade at Chester last time; record of 2-2 in handicaps includes a 6f win at Glorious Goodwood in 2025 (good to soft); interesting back at this level. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins in a busy 2yo campaign, notably the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in October; retains ability but others bring stronger claims. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Five wins in a stellar 2025 included the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy, but his form has plateaued this season; ran respectably in Listed race at Epsom on Oaks day but he'll need much more to figure here. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Often slowly away but his refusal to race at Redcar last month was a new low; blinkers tried there are quickly dispensed with; hard to recommend after latest display. |
16/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran his best race of the year when third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, his first run after a gelding operation; regular slow starts aren't ideal and the switch to blinkers isn't enough to earn him the vote. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a Ripon novice (5f, good) last June and ran well on his handicap debut at Ayr (6f, soft) in September; hasn't featured in two starts this year and has been gelded since last seen in May. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Lacks recent match practice and gained his sole win off 9lb lower but on the plus side his yard is enjoying a fine summer; worth a second look in the betting. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Represents last year's winning stable but was beaten fair and square by Ardisia in Ayr nursery last month and now meets that rival on 10lb worse terms; hard to see him turning the tables. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Promising in his first three 2yo runs but he couldn't quite cut the mustard in nurseries thereafter; gelded prior to his reappearance; still has time to do better but he returns in a warm race. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Of interest on the form he showed on his first three starts but stepping up to 6f hasn't helped in either nursery run; eased in class this time and he's high on the list back at 5f. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing favourite on nursery debut at York but he'd shown considerable promise previously and is well worth a second look given that his trainer has won three of the last five runnings; unraced on slow ground. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won his first two starts (6f, good and soft); generally struggled since but his reappearance third at Pontefract (only run in cheekpieces) was a promising effort; sold for 58,000gns since latest; starts out for David Loughnane off a reduced mark; worth a market check. |
25/1 |
|
15th 11 (15) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won last June on first two starts (6f, good/soft) and encouraging third in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (6f, good) on his reappearance; soundly beaten over 7f at Goodwood since when minus the cheekpieces (same today) and, while the drop back to 6f could help, others are more compelling. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
On a good mark on his 2yo best and he has been far from discredited on his last three outings, including when beaten 2l in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 12 days ago; might have a say. |
7/1 |
|
9th 11 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
On a good mark on his 2yo best; retains ability and he has run with credit on his last two starts; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins as a 2yo, including here (5f, good), and he has run some solid races in defeat this year; latest fourth here (5f, good) came in a Class 2; one to take seriously upped a little in distance and dropping back down in class. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads; narrow Chester winner (7f, good to firm) last August on handicap debut and he ran much better back there in June than he had the time before at York; another bold show is on the cards. |
8/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Course scorer at 2yrs; returned with a good third at Beverley (7.5f) in April but beat only one in 20-runner handicap at York (7f) 20 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
25/1 |
|
19th 22 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
1-13; showed he retains all his ability when third of ten at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) on reappearance, in the firing line throughout; this is warmer but he could make the frame again. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Disappointed at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago; earlier Windsor third was a solid effort though and the return of blinkers (worn at Windsor but left off latest) could see him resume his progress. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has led; won 6f Windsor novice as 2yo, also in the frame in Listed events; found little when upped to 7f on Newbury comeback but finished close up back over 6f at Windsor recently in new aids (tongue-tie retained, blinkers discarded); stamina still to be proved over 7f but can't rule out. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won an Ayr maiden (6f, good) and a C&D novice (good to firm) last August; some fair runs in handicaps this season, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten a long way with cheekpieces added at York last time; stablemate of Bleep Test. |
8/1 |
|
13th 14 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more. |
25/1 |
