1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Upset in the stalls when a disappointing favourite at this meeting last year (subsequently gelded); had a 1m6f win next time and solid performances when beaten about 3l on all three starts this season, sixth of 16 when back up to 1m6f at Royal Ascot latest; others saw it out better that day but he should have serious each-way claims. |

5th 14 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 3-9 overall and going the right way in handicaps, finishing a clear second (from the front) over 1m4f at York (good) last time behind a sharp Haggas improver whom he'd beaten over 1m6f on final run last season (good to soft; first run after gelding operation); this return to 1m6f has to be a good thing; respected. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed over 1m4f at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood last summer but returned from a gelding operation to win at Haydock (sole run at 1m6f, good to soft) in September; made a satisfactory reappearance at Epsom 15 days ago and is still lightly raced, so could have more to offer; good ground and softer would probably be better for him than good to firm. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Just six races; came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; 8lb higher today) this May; the latter promised much, which was singularly unfulfilled when hot favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; virtually first off the bridle that day but a return to 1m6f on softer ground today ensures that he remains of major interest. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made debut in June 2025 and has had just five races (beaten a neck on good to firm on second start); came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; Plage De Havre third) on reappearance this May; up 8lb but retains significant potential. |
6/4 |

1st 10 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Made his debut only last June and has had just four races; long odds-on for 1m4f novice win in August and best form when second of six to Sing Us A Song on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, again good to soft; came from the back) in September; probably still a work in progress at that stage and he starts 2026 (for in-form yard) with significant potential. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Edging back down the weights and now 3lb higher than for the latest of two wins over 1m6f last September; wore cheekpieces in a void race last month, but this is effectively his first start in them; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
7 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Has three wins on turf but has gone off the boil on his last two starts; swaps a visor for first-time cheekpieces on AW debut; not out of this but new headgear needs to have an impact. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Prevailed in second-time hood at Taunton (2m, good) most recently, adding to his Flat win, and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; in deeper waters today but could go well. |
16/1 |

1st 11 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won a Goodwood maiden for Andrew Balding in June (1m6f, good to firm); improved on first hurdles run when neck second over C&D last time (heavy; hood tried); headgear retained; this faster is ground likely to suit; one with a chance. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Useful peak RPR of 94 on the Flat for Andrew Balding; ran to a fair level when last of three finishers on Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) eight weeks ago and should prove capable of better, particularly if a first-time hood helps him to settle better through the early stages than he did on that occasion. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Progressive sort who's scored twice this term and ran well again at Windsor (11.5f, good) 18 days ago; steps out of his grade but this trip might unlock more and he's a likeable sort who threatens to give the classier types a proper workout. |
7/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced on softer than good; ran well at Newbury (1m4f) most recently, taking record this season to 3431132; that consistency makes him one to consider. |
13/2 |
|
7 (1) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Progressing and going up in trip has helped; front-running win when 4-6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in June and he saw off a Prescott-trained hotpot to follow up at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July; close third at Chester on latest outing and may still have more to give. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressed in three qualifying runs and he readily fought off a challenge to make winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; 5lb rise is only a footnote for an unexposed sort who looks like he'll relish this step up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
2 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressive form in three starts on turf without living up to his breeding, finishing second of five on his return from nine months off in a valuable Doncaster novice (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) 18 days ago; may step up again now handicapping with stable 67-210 (32%) here in past five seasons. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Godolphin runner who is well bred and cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; failed to meet expectations in two Newmarket events last term but perhaps he'll do better as a 3yo and now gelded; not written off. |
