23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable sixth to Startled at York last week but finished out of the first two for the first time and failed to show further progress; that defeat suggests he's not the percentage call in another competitive field. |

6th 3 (10) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Doesn't seem totally straightforward but he has a solid record (2122) and may do better still; gelded prior to good effort behind Passing Thought at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut; in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Delivered on debut promise when winning Thirsk novice (7f, good to firm) last August and probably bettered that form when second in a quite valuable Ayr race (7f, soft) a few weeks later; makes handicap debut after seven-month absence (gelded in the autumn) but should have more to offer. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Comes with a degree of risk having been turned over at odds of 1-8 in Pontefract maiden (1m) on seasonal debut, extending his seconditis; otherwise again sets a useful standard on his Group 3 effort at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; siblings include a 1m2f winner. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Frankel colt who showed progressive form in defeat last autumn, culminating in good second behind the market leader in the Horris Hill at Newbury (7f, soft); went close over 1m at York (good) the time before; clear top on the figures. |
1/6 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The only maiden in this field and jumps up in class; however, has raced only twice and went close at York (1m, good) the latest time; bred to do better still, being related to several winners for his owner. |

3rd 1 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D handicap (good to firm) in July; took further steps forward when second of 17 in the competitive Melrose at York (1m6f; winner Infraad gave 6lb) and second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy); moves up to Listed grade and two rivals have better form but he's heading the right way. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
He's won on ground ranging from soft through to good to firm; strong finish for 4l sixth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and won over 1m6f there next time; took another step forward when second of 17 in the competitive Melrose at York (1m6f) a fortnight ago and he's a leading candidate despite a 5lb rise for last time. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Has won on various ground; strong finish for 4l sixth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and that handicap form has worked out exceptionally well; as expected he was suited by the step up to 1m6f when winning at Ascot last month and could have more to offer at this trip. |

3rd 7 (4) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Well-backed winner at Ayr (7f, soft) last September on sole 2yo start and made it 2-2 in Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, AW) last month, again doing it cosily; has potential off his opening mark and the booking of Ryan Moore is a bonus. |

1st 1 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
320,000euros breeze-up purchase who justified strong market support at Ayr (7f) in sole 2yo start, scoring in the style of a useful prospect; entered in two Irish Classics; looks well up to defying a 7lb penalty. |
10/11 |
|
4 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
70,000euros yearling, 320,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; Wootton Bassett half-brother to six winners notably Talbeyah (8.5f-1m2f; RPR 99) and Sarrocchi (7f 2yo/1m Listed); dam 7.5f/1m winner (including Listed); has to be of interest in view of that purchase price in May, all the more so if well backed. |

20th 23 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a good season and his Ascot win (6f, good to firm) in August is solid form; well beaten behind a few of these at York four weeks ago, though; ran okay on soft at this meeting last year. |
20/1 |
|
17th 19 (19) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He has not looked back since dropping to 6f in May, winning three times including an impressive success at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; two solid C&D runs on his record too but a 6lb rise since Ascot, allied to slower ground, could find him out; the only 3yo in the field and that age group have won the last two renewals. |
15/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Thriving since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and then performing with great credit in hot sprint handicaps on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be bang there once again. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Failed to beat a horse home in three starts last year; gelded since and has been a completely different proposition since returning this month, winning two classified events at Yarmouth (1m/1m2f, soft) and one at Wolverhampton AW on Tuesday night; looks open to more progress and he has leading claims. |

4th 7 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden who has finished down the field in her last three starts and she hung right at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a transformation back on AW; blinkers removed. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well when third of six to Amber Hamur at Hamilton (8.3f, good) last month but two lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; kept on for third of six at Hamilton (8.3f, good; wore cheekpieces) last month but safely held on AW since; sports first-time blinkers for first attempt at 1m2f; others appeal more. |
8/1 |
