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. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had to work hard in order to make it eighth-time lucky in a three-runner contest at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; up 3lb but still shortlisted if the headgear continues to work. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but he went close in a five-runner field at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in June on his second handicap start and ran respectably when fifth of 15 at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last time, albeit soundly beaten; this is less competitive and he could be involved in first-time blinkers. |
5/2 |
|
5th 11 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two seconds and two thirds from his six starts; upped to 1m2f then 11.4f in handicaps for his two starts this season, best form in a never-nearer second of five last time; back up 2lb but could have more to give at this trip. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
There was market interest in him when the widest draw did not play out to his advantage on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); rallied gamely when narrow winner of a four-runner race at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago, for which he dictated the pace and has gone up 3lb since but he should not yet be exposed at 1m2f. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Improved efforts of late, brushing aside two rivals at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) last Sunday; should make another bold bid under a 6lb penalty. |
10/11 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored on handicap debut at Newbury in May and bounced back from a duff effort when running-on second to progressive rival at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to firm) last month; could have untapped potential over this longer trip; respected. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
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. |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Unplaced all seven Flat starts and suffered heavy defeat in Class 6 handicap on latest outing 24 days ago; his penultimate run (1m4f; RPR 57) wasn't bad, though, and his trainer does quite well with his occasional runners over hurdles. |
14/1 |

10th 8 (9) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
0-6 and closest he's got to the winner was when beaten 3l at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) last month; has something to build on but needs more. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
A maiden after seven starts but would probably have preferred a stronger pace to aim at when keeping-on fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month; another 2lb lower here and has a fighting chance if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Looked likely to benefit from a step up in trip when running best race for previous yard over 1m2f on Newcastle AW in February; however, was well held on yard debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) and he just plugged on at one pace at Windsor (about 1m3f) in May. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Modest form on turf and AW, still a maiden after 11 races but his latest defeat was by a nose in a ten-runner handicap at Chester (1m4f, good); placed in five of his eight handicaps and, although he has his quirks with high head carriage, no surprise if he is in serious contention. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 2lb |
Tailed off in a maiden here last year; respectable efforts over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month but looks better on the AW and he does have his quirks. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
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 |
