1st 12 (14) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the last three of his five starts; this season they were 1m2f handicaps (good; unraced on firmer) at Sandown and Newbury, latterly in the London Gold Cup in which he travelled very strongly before squeezing through over 1f out and prevailing virtually on the nod against Sahara King, as the pair drew about 2l clear; these powerful owners have acquired both horses since; up 7lb but improving and capable of better. |

1st 9 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Plenty of ability all 2yo starts, on final occasion always front rank to win a maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft); dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and he duly improved at 1m2f when reappearing in a six-runner handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on; up 6lb but should have more improvement in him. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (6) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Promising third last year on first two starts (1m, good/soft) then won Haydock maiden (1m, good to soft) in September; his dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and it seems likely that he'll improve for this step up in trip on handicap/seasonal debut; trainer won this in 2024. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Easy win at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last October on second start and he reappeared with a 1l Listed second here (1m1f, good) 16 days ago, staying on well; the first-time hood could help him settle better and he holds leading claims for top trainer who has won three of the last four runnings. |
8/11 |

2nd 6 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Sea The Stars colt who cost 900,000euros as a yearling; close second at Haydock (1m) and justified favouritism from the front at Goodwood (1m1f, good) where he drew clear to win by 5l; represents the powerful Appleby/Buick team and looks a useful prospect; respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
900,000euros yearling by Sea The Stars; very weak 13-2 for maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago and awkward from the outside stall but he moved up nicely over 2f out and kept on in second of nine, just in front of Edwin Hubble, despite hanging left; that looks the best form in this field and he should improve. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Acquitted himself well in smart company on final 2yo starts at 1m and 1m1f; easy to back for handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) ten days ago where he was checked in his run but nevertheless made some progress from off the pace; can go well with the extra distance likely to suit. |
5/1 |

7th 8 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Placed in his last three starts last season, the latest when beaten 5l into second of seven here (1m1f, good) in October; market useful now making his handicap debut after eight months off. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three races, best when third of nine at Haydock (upped to 1m, good to soft) latest; helped to make the running that day; dam 1m5f winner and it looks as if her son will be suited by today's extra 1f; should be seriously involved but debutant Poseidon's Warrior finished just ahead at Haydock. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made all in a novice at Newmarket (1m, good) last October on second start; well held this term in Listed race at Sandown (1m, good) and handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but there was market interest in him for the latter (14-1) and the widest draw did not play out to his advantage on his way to 12th of 19; dropped just 1lb but one to note. |
3/1 |
|
12th 13 (22) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Made all in a novice at Newmarket (1m, good) in October on second start; beaten 13l when sixth of eight in Listed race at Sandown (1m, good) three weeks ago but he's by a good stamina influence in Camelot and this is a major step up in trip for handicap debut. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Promising fourth on debut at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last September and built on that to make all by nearly 2l at Newmarket (1m, good) in October; unexposed and could have more to offer but has plenty to find today. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
First time over this far and his first handicap when winning by a neck at Newbury (1m2f, good; 2lb lower); finished last at Sandown where he hung left-handed throughout; better expected returned to a left-handed track. |
12/1 |
|
12th 13 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Improved for the switch to a handicap and the longer trip when winning by a neck at Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (third has won since); a player following a 2lb rise. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |

9st 8lb |
Fifth of nine on debut at Haydock (good to soft) in September has been followed by two lesser shows on AW, all at 1m; has a run under his belt this season and makes handicap debut over new trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-4 but has made the frame on his last three starts, leading for most of the way when fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January; doesn't look thrown in but cheekpieces could eke out some improvement. |
15/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on last two starts, his best effort on AW debut latest when third of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month; steps up in trip and open to improvement now he goes handicapping. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
About 4l behind fifth-placed Brighton View when 9l sixth of nine at 20-1 on last month's debut over C&D (good to soft); a big step forward is needed today but pedigree provides hope he'll be capable of better. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in five starts and has trailed in last in a couple of handicaps since headgear was introduced; difficult to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in four starts and ran particularly poorly on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first-time visor) last month; needs the switch to cheekpieces to make a big difference. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (2) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten about 12l in each of his 1m runs but this combination of new trip, first-time headgear and switch to handicap level may prompt a bigger effort. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Step up to 1m4f should have suited on his debut for this yard last time but he ran poorly; that leaves him with something to prove on just his second turf start. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Good third over 1m2f at Newcastle (handicap debut; final start for Karl Burke) when last seen, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; still in same ownership; interesting, with another step forward possible. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
625,000gns yearling with a good middle-distance pedigree; not shown a great deal in three maiden/novice runs at up to 8.6f but this test should be more suitable. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and again edging left under pressure over C&D last time; that effort proved this trip within range, though, and he's clearly happier on Tapeta than turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made the frame on his first three runs here (at up to 9.5f) this season but a below-par fifth back on turf in 1m2f Doncaster handicap 39 days ago; not out of things back here if his stamina holds out. |
12/1 |
|
5th 10 (1) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Fairly solid efforts in three AW handicaps last month but others have more scope for improvement on this switch back to turf. |
14/1 |
