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. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season but isn't totally solid on 2026 efforts and has probably already reached his ceiling anyway; seems unlikely defy a 3lb penalty and top weight. |

Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season and ran respectably in 6f Group 3 at Ascot most recently; however, has probably already reached his ceiling, unlike some of today's rivals. |

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. |
7/1 |

8th 7 (3) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Best form when winning a Ripon novice event (5f, good) and second in Ayr nursery (6f, soft); chance of emerging on top in this competitive handicap partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

Of interest on his two best efforts last year, namely a 5f novice win and a good second in a nursery at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting; market useful back from a six-month break. |

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. |

3rd 8 (7) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Newmarket trainer won this last year; short-headed at Windsor (6f, good) in July on second nursery start then went one better at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft); however, he failed to make an impact at Doncaster (6f, good) only last Friday and has to leave that run behind. |

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. |
6/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
220,000gns breeze-up 2yo who has raced at 5f so far, showing plenty of promise when second on Dante meeting debut here before beaten about only 3l when seventh (Old Is Gold eighth, Shaman Champion ninth) of 23 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; comfortably landed short odds in a four-runner maiden at Hamilton since and interesting now stepped up to 6f for nursery debut in a race his yard has won three times since 2015, including last year. |

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. |
25/1 |

11th 8 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Gelded prior to finishing 2l third at Pontefract (6f, good; wore cheekpieces) on reappearance, posting best effort since starting his career with two wins; ideally needs to settle better back up in distance but otherwise has possibilities off the same mark. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Looked seriously good when winning last June on his first two starts (6f, good/soft); failed to kick on subsequently in Listed race, Group 2 and a nursery, but returns having been gelded and he's a strong contender if tapping back into his initial promise; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

Scored over C&D last October but is reasonably exposed now and faces a stiffer assignment in this field; came up well short in a notable 6f handicap back here last time. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Three 2yo wins, including here, and ran well when third of 14 at Hamilton (6f, good) last month; however, was no match for winning stablemate Red Spells Danger and has since finished unplaced at Thirsk; others preferred. |
50/1 |

8th 2 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time juvenile winner (including 5f York nursery); better form in defeat this season, prominent for a long way when a very good third of 14 in 6f handicap at Hamilton two weeks ago; interesting reverting to 5f. |

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. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kept busy as a 2yo with 12 runs, winning a 7f Chester seller (good to firm); left the impression a stiff 1m at Pontefract (soft) just stretched him on final start; this slightly shorter trip could therefore suit on reappearance but he has a much more exposed profile than most; has been gelded. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
10th 7 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Raced over 6f as a 2yo, winning a Windsor novice by daylight last June and third in Listed race here three weeks later; soft ground excuses his poor run when last seen; improvement required for the longer trip and/or a gelding operation if he is to win today. |

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 |

3rd 6 (2) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-7 in handicaps but he's on a reduced mark and was a creditable third of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) two weeks ago; that was his best run for some time and he has claims if he can build on it. |
