20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last September; promising seasonal return in May but two runs since have been less encouraging, including behind Annie Edson Taylor here 18 days ago. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last September; promising seasonal return in May but she hung left and dropped right away at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) one month later; could resume her progress on slower ground after a break. |

Ended four-race 2yo campaign with win on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) and recovered from awkward start to finish third on last month's reappearance at Catterick (6f, good); upped in trip; shortlisted. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Soundly beaten in sales race at Naas (6f, good to yielding) last time but showed promise on his first three starts (5f/6f good), including a debut win at Beverley and close third in a Thirsk novice; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Beverley novice winner on debut over 5f on good; okay fourth in valuable event and ran to a similar level upped in trip at Thirsk, conceding weight all round; needs more. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both starts on good ground at Beverley over 5f; made a winning debut in April and built on that when a respectable fourth in the Two Year Old Trophy in May; kept on that day, suggesting this step up to 6f should suit; respected under the penalty. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this year (7f-1m2f) have hit his handicap mark but again ran well off this one when a close third at Redcar last month; unlikely to be far away. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably won a C&D apprentice event under Conor Whiteley in July; unpenalised when he followed up in three-runner Newmarket handicap (1m2f, also good to firm) the following week; new 10lb higher mark has kicked in but he's respected in the hat-trick bid. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Had been looking exposed until upped to this trip (ran right away with a Redcar handicap nine days ago); no penalty for that apprentice-race win and will be fully 9lb higher from tomorrow, so his claims are obvious. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Acts well at Chester (three course wins; had the widest draw there last week) but he did win away from that track at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May; this test looks a stretch off his current mark |
20/1 |

5th 4 (10) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Wins at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) and C&D (good to soft) this summer; lacklustre run at York last month and while his course record reads 11312, stall 10 might complicate matters. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promising third on debut over C&D (good to firm) in June; well beaten in Glorious Goodwood (6f, good) next time then not disgraced despite finishing last in the Group 2 Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm); difficult to assess ahead of this nursery debut but his dam was a useful sprinter and he's a possible improver for his in-form yard in a first-time tongue-tie. |
9/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in a maiden at Glorious Goodwood, failing to back up his Pontefract placed effort; clear bottom of this pack on the figures and therefore needs huge improvement. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 in handicaps since winning a Bath maiden (5.7f, soft) last September; second of ten at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in April, but has gone quiet again on turf since; cheekpieces need to make a difference. |
15/2 |

5th 1 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sharply regressive since winning a soft-ground Bath maiden (5.7f) last autumn, turning in three tame efforts since returned to turf; this is easier again but it's hard to find many positives. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

On a reduced mark; ran well when second at Kempton (6f) in April but he has failed to build on that promise twice since; others stronger. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made all in a valuable Musselburgh seller (5f, good) in June but has beaten a total of one rival in two 6f nurseries (good to soft/AW); down another 2lb and return to 5f may help, but enough to prove. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Nice attitude when making all in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 8-13 favourite) in June; given a three-month break thereafter but failed to shine (bumped at the start) on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f; 8-1); now 3lb lower, with a 5lb claimer booked; AW debut; still early days. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Gained the second leg of August double (6f) at Chelmsford; went too freely last time; drops to 5f in another change of headgear. |

8th 5 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has switched between cheekpieces and a visor on last few starts, running well each time; visor back on today; won two nurseries in a row last month (6f, good to firm/AW) and third at Haydock (7f, good) last time when fading close home; unraced on slow ground; firmly in calculations now back at 6f. |
4/1 |

1 (4) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces. |
