26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
2yo campaign bookended with wins and went close on reappearance this time around (sole AW start); quiet since and the fitting of a tongue-tie and returning to 6f haven't helped of late. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Went close on seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March but largely disappointing over that trip since; too well handicapped to rule out on this return to 6f but others have more pressing claims. |

15th 13 (18) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won at both sprint trips as a 2yo but he hasn't been at the forefront of calculations in three turf handicaps this year and has ground to make up on Quantum Power on their recent Newmarket run; looks to have his share of weight and fitting a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning a Ripon novice in April and he came up short in Listed/Group 2 company; back on track when second of seven in a 5f nursery at Haydock two weeks ago; raised 2lb and likely he will need to improve again to defy top weight here. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (8) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won easily at Ripon (5f, good) in April but found out in a higher grade on her next two starts; back from a small break when a fairly underwhelming third of three over C&D (good) on her nursery debut seven weeks ago; raced freely that day so may do better if settling this time. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won easily at Ripon (5f, good) in April on second start and mid-division on next two starts in a Listed race at Sandown (5f, good) and the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); now drops back down in grade for in-form trainer and could be a serious force on his nursery debut. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) for William Haggas last August; has mixed record since but she got back near her best when third at Newcastle (6f, AW) in May; 1lb lower after a short break and she's a player if she can back that up. |

3rd 3 (9) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Haggas filly who was said to have been unsuited by rain-softened ground when well below market expectations last time (taken out at Doncaster over the weekend after the going eased); should do better. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His nursery win came here over 5f off 2lb higher; quiet in two runs for current trainer, the latest after wind surgery and a gelding operation. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner on turf for previous yard; absent and had wind/gelding operations since below-par effort on AW last December (stable debut); the market signals may give useful extra guidance on reappearance. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins over 5f on sharp tracks, most recently when making all at Thirsk (good) in May; found out by Ascot's stiffer test and tough company at the Royal meeting in June and needs another push to win off her current mark. |
25/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins to her name, all on sharp tracks, the latest when making all at Thirsk (5f, good) 19 days ago; the combination of a 6lb rise, other pace and considerably stiffer opposition could leave her vulnerable. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) for Raphael Freire in July but that was a narrow success and she's taken backward steps in two nurseries since; now returns to quicker ground but she's not really progressed and others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Narrowly justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire in June; solid effort, despite hanging, when third of eight in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) at the start of the month and far from discounted back down to 5f. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire, while shaping as if this return to 6f is worth exploring; may build on that success. |

9st 8lb |
Won 5f maiden maiden last summer but ended his 2yo campaign with a disappointing effort and ran as though something was amiss on last month's reappearance; sports new cheekpieces for first attempt at 6f; needs to get career back on track. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Won Leicester maiden (5f, good to firm) last summer; may not have been suited by good to soft ground when disappointing on final 2yo start but has fitness to prove after ten-month break; has been gelded. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark in a Leicester novice in June and his nursery debut fourth behind Lil Brother at Windsor (also 5f, good to firm) last month was a solid effort; hasn't always looked entirely comfortable on quick ground so this forecast easier surface might suit. |

3yo won a restricted novice at Windsor (6f, good) last year for Eve Johnson Houghton; weakened late on under positive ride on first try over 7f at Dundalk on latest; stamina to prove for this trip. |

4th 4 (4) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

6f Windsor novice winner for former yard; three turf runs for this yard have all been at that trip and yet to get closer than 4l to the winner; mark sliding but unproven on this surface, and others make more appeal. |
18/1 |

9th 10 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Won a Windsor maiden (6f, good) for Eve Johnson-Houghton; never involved for this yard at the Curragh (6f, soft to heavy); better effort over C&D (good) in this headgear when not getting a clear run before running on for third; can do better again off 3lb lower. |
