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. |

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. |

1st 5 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has contested four 1m4f handicaps this season and won twice in small fields on the AW, latterly despite veering badly right; 22-1 for red-hot race at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on latest outing but finished strongly for sixth of 19, which looked promising for today's test off 2lb higher. |
5/2 |
|
6th 18 (16) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Pontefract 1m2f winner (soft) as 2yo; contested three 1m4f handicaps this season and came a creditable third at Chester (good) in between winning twice in small fields on AW; latest win was despite veering badly right, away from the whip; up 4lb and, although he may have more in the tank, this race looks so much harder. |
28/1 |
|
1st 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Rounded off his 2yo campaign with a game 1m2f win at Pontefract (soft), after which he was gelded; made all to beat his sole opponent in a Southwell match (1m4f) last month but he could manage only third behind that reopposing rival at Chester (a solid effort nevertheless) three weeks ago; still capable of better; trainer also saddles High Storm. |

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. |

4th 6 (11) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has made serious progress since dropped to 6f, following an easy maiden win with an impressive handicap debut at Hamilton; ran off 10lb higher in a better York race (good) in June and he did really well to be a close second to Thunder Call who was slightly better positioned; upped another 4lb but closely matched with the winner; on the premises. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Beaten over 7f on first six starts before bolting up at 1-16 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) last month; built on that promise when impressive in 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) nine days later; in a higher grade this afternoon off 10lb higher but that rise might not stop him. |
6/1 |
|
1st 10 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Improving son of Cotai Glory who spreadeagled his field on his first go over 6f in a Ripon maiden nine days ago; a most interesting handicap debutant. |

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. |

3rd 4 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Modest maiden who wasn't discredited in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of nine in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; needs to build on it if she's to gain a first win at the seventh attempt. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has gone rather backwards since a good autumn effort on AW, disappointing favourite on handicap debut (7f) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new trip and first-time headgear. |
