23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Record of 0-6 since debut success but he has a notable piece of course form, namely close second in nursery at last year's Glorious Goodwood; could go well returned to this venue with Newbury reappearance (stable debut) under his belt. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Easy win on his debut (5f, good to firm) and showed fairly useful ability in five subsequent starts for Richard Hughes, including a C&D second when last seen in September (solid form); sold for 160,000gns the following month; begins this campaign up another 3lb; big personal best is required on his first run for a trainer who won this race in 2022 and 2023. |

Much the most exposed of these and arrives here off the back of a particularly poor run; cheekpieces introduced last time are now removed. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 7f Southwell victory and comes here on the back of a solid third of four in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap in March; not out of things with cheekpieces added. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Added to his Bath maiden win when landing a 7f handicap at Southwell (Tapeta) in January; only 2lb higher today but he's been well held in his last two runs and has stamina to prove at this new trip. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut. |
7/2 |
|
3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded. |
10/1 |
|
3 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins from eight starts, latterly in a nursery here (7f, good to soft; unraced on worse) last month when ridden by 7lb claimer; always-prominent third of ten in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good; 7-1) 15 days ago confirms that she has a leading chance in this field on form. |
13/8 |
|
3rd 8 (4) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Regained the winning thread in Newbury nursery (7f) last time when racing off a mark of 82 and ridden by 7lb claimer; far from certain to follow up on these terms. |
12/1 |
|
4 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Easily made all at Brighton (6f, good) in May on third start then mid-division in the Group 3 Albany at Royal Ascot; she weakened on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft) in July but saw it out better on good to firm when second of six at Newmarket (also 7f) last time; probably wants the ground to dry out. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden and novice winner (6f, good to firm/good) last summer who was a shade disappointing when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and his neck second of 13 at Newmarket (also 7f, good) was much more like it on his comeback last month; mixed messages have come out of that race but still commands plenty of respect. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded since never landing a blow in Newbury nursery (7f) on final 2yo start when bidding for a hat-trick after maiden/novice wins over 6f; represents major stable and may still have more to offer; not written off. |
8/1 |
|
5 (9) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran green on debut here (6.5f) in June but he left that form a long way behind when winning at Haydock (good to firm) last month; had to roll his sleeves up but it was still another step forward when defying a penalty at Carlisle (also 6f, good) 18 days ago; considered on handicap debut. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive; won Newcastle nursery last autumn and went down narrowly in Southwell handicap on reappearance; both those runs over 1m on AW (ran respectably on only turf outing); may be ready for a step up in distance but should still be thereabouts. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Came good at fifth attempt, winning five-runner Newcastle nursery (1m) from off the pace in October; not seen since but remains unexposed over this trip; contender if fully tuned up. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Second of nine at Chelmsford in August (7f); no improvement for the switch to nurseries at Newbury two weeks ago but still ran okay; the step up to a mile needs to spark extra. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored on handicap debut at Newbury (6f, good) in August and it was a good return when just failing at Kempton in March; took a big step backwards at Southwell (also 7f, AW) next time, although that was a little out of character so probably worth forgiving. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent since narrowly making a successful nursery debut at Newbury (6f, good) last August, including when beaten a head at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 18 days ago on his return from six months off; 2lb higher but has fewer questions to answer than most of these; major player. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive, exposed maiden who wasn't best suited by the way things unfolded behind Legacy Rock over C&D last time; 5lb better off with the winner, which gives him claims, but he didn't conclusively prove his stamina that day. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Maiden who has been campaigned only over 6f/7f; had a consistent spell last summer but not in the same form since; chance partly depends on the effects of the new trip. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (8) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up in maiden company on two occasions last June (both 7f) but he's not built on those efforts in three handicaps, including two since being gelded; drops back to 6f with cheekpieces back on (worn once previously); others preferred. |

Didn't run badly on his seasonal return last month (first start after a gelding operation) but he is only 1lb lower and needs to raise his game a notch. |

4th 10 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Failed to build on earlier promise when seventh on his handicap debut at Newbury (7f) in September; since gelded and could still do better on his seasonal return with his yard going well. |
20/1 |

10 (11) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Stepped forward from Windsor debut when a never-nearer fifth in useful-looking maiden at Sandown (good) in July; looked a potential improver but didn't build on that when fourth of nine on AW debut at Kempton (also 7f); by no means one to give up on returned to turf in his first nursery. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second of seven on his nursery debut last July (7f, good to firm) but that was followed by two lacklustre efforts (gelded before latest); back down in trip for his reappearance and goes in blinkers for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
11 (8) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form in qualifying runs and two nurseries, but it may be encouraging that his best form in the latter sphere came when second over C&D (good to firm) in July; has been racing freely so a gelding operation may have helped too. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Didn't look progressive in his qualifying races over 6f but was only a length away on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) and he was keen enough in that race; only 1lb higher and there's every chance he'll settle better this afternoon. |
