12th 5 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
7f novice winner for Ed Walker; made a successful stable debut off 4lb lower in March (7f, good to soft) but hasn't kicked on from there. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins from six starts for three different yards but he was disappointing in a 7f handicap at Thirsk (ninth of 13) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's untried on AW. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly-raced 4yo; attracted support and made a perfect start for new connections when seeing off 14 rivals at Doncaster three weeks ago (7f, good to soft); 5lb higher in a better race but there was a lot to like about the way he responded to pressure last time; can do better. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back in form when second to Krissy over C&D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (12) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed 17-race maiden but he has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran well when second over 1m1f here 17 days ago; others still appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden who can be difficult to settle and was well beaten at Ripon (1m, good) last month on sole previous run beyond 7f; however, he kept on strongly for seventh of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) last time, suggesting this trip might be worth a go, and his mark continues to fall; visor removed. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers. |
100/30 |

3rd 4 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Only had the seven races and could improve for going this far judged on her keeping-on fifth over 1m2f at Pontefract; was beaten only 2.5l that day. |
2/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is yet to score but has shown ability across his six starts; latest third of 11 at Chester (7.5f, soft; acts on quicker) was a respectable effort and it's impossible to say he's not capable of better. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham in April and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to shorter looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f, but dam's side of pedigree offers encouragement now up a furlong on handicap debut; worth a second look. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Attracted support into 13-2 on debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) but he missed the break and was always behind; well beaten at Haydock (7f, good) 68 days ago and has since been gelded. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Attracted support into 13-2 on Doncaster debut (6f, good to firm) in May but he missed the break and was always in rear; should be more streetwise this time but he needs a transformation upped in trip; stablemate of Grey Jaguar. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced filly who needs improvement for the fitting of tongue-tie. |
40/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beat only one rival home after an awkward start on debut at Southwell (7f, AW; 66-1) this month and needs to have taken a big step forward from that now switching to grass. |
66/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Third foal of a 5f 2yo winner (RPR 79) who is closely related to smart UAE 6f-9.5f winner Faulkner; the betting should help guide as to expectations. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some promise when fifth on debut over C&D (good to soft) in July but he went backwards from that effort here on quicker ground in August; return to slower ground could help but he may be one for handicaps. |
33/1 |
|
4 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lacked the pace to get competitive in a C&D maiden (good to soft) on his debut three weeks ago; open to improvement but it is a must. |
50/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
35,000gns yearling; fourth foal; Mehmas half-brother to winners Inhaler (5f-7f; RPR 86) and Love Trophy Power (5f/6f; 77); dam 7f winner (73), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Frederick Engels, smart 6f winner Colonel Mak and prolific 5f-6f winner Piazon; market can guide on debut. |
