4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All four runs at 6f on tracks with a stiff finish and she looked well suited by the stamina test when successful on handicap debut at Pontefract (good to soft; has handled good to firm) in September; raised 3lb and off since but should do better as a 3yo. |

1st 8 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
A tad underwhelming at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month after a break but she showed promise over C&D (good to firm/good) on her first two starts and pedigree provides hope she can be better than her opening mark. |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 as 2yo but improved a bit for gelding operation when making winning reappearance in Redcar novice (7f, good to firm; 11-4) three weeks ago; may find a bit more and he's more persuasive than many. |
14/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-7 when below par in Goodwood nursery last October when last seen; gelded since; however, he finished in the first three on five occasions last season and his trainer won this in 2022 and 2023; possible player. |
5/1 |
|
6 (9) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-6 but has run really well in all three nurseries (7f/6f, good to firm-soft), most recently a close third of eight at Pontefract in a first-time visor (retained); there's every chance he'll again be in the mix. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Began his career with a pair of 5f wins at Chester last May; progress stalled last summer but he returned from a 223-day absence with a good run back at Chester three weeks ago, third of 12 in a 6f handicap on good ground (wide draw); looks on a good mark but can he deliver away from Chester? |
11/4 |

3rd 13 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Career commenced with two wins at Chester (5.5f/6f, good) last May; not in the same form elsewhere subsequently but the return to this venue, combined with a gelding operation, may prompt a resurgence; one of three runners for his local stable. |
11/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Chester in May on his first two starts (5.5f/6f, good); down the field in Ascot Listed race (good) and Doncaster nursery (good to soft) on his last two runs, both over 7f; he may appreciate this drop back in trip and grade but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

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. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from ten starts came in a maiden at Bath (5.5f, soft) in September when trained by Kevin Philippart de Foy; solid effort when runner-up at Kempton last month but he was reported to have run flat at Bath four days later; could bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
His 2yo win came at this track (5.7f, soft); running himself back into form for new stable, never out of the first two when second to an unexposed opponent at Kempton on Wednesday (6f); still inclined to over-race but dropping back in trip might help. |
9/2 |

2nd 11 (5) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Regressed after maiden win for previous yard; proved resurgent over 6f at Lingfield (on second run for new stable) most recently and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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. |
