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. |

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. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 5f winner last year when trained by Paul Attwater; beat only one rival home on his stable debut in December and has again been below his best in two starts since wind/gelding operations, albeit 6f on soft ground probably stretched him last time; dropped another 2lb and a tongue-tie is on for the first time. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

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. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

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 |

10th 22 (12) |
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. |

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 11lb |
Second run back from an absence (during which he was gelded) when going close in new cheekpieces at Ffos Las (6f, good); thereabouts, for all that this sharper trip might not be absolutely ideal. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
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 |

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. |
