8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Good step forward from debut when runner-up at Ripon, albeit beaten 5l in four-runner event, in September and backed that up when second again at Yarmouth (also 6f, good) the following month; has been gelded and interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this reappearance/handicap debut. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made a low-key start over C&D last month but he left that form behind when a 5l second at Ripon (6f, good); that was behind a useful rival who went off at 1-4 and he sets the standard on that form; key player. |

In rear throughout when beating only one home at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) and hard to trust after that. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly won 6f selling nursery here off 1lb lower in November; respectable keeping-on fourth in 6f course handicap last week; steps up to 7f for just a second time. |

4th 4 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly won a C&D selling nursery off today's mark in November; below that level in his next three starts but he posted a good effort when third of 12 here 29 days ago; contender. |
4/1 |

3rd 9 (8) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly won C&D selling nursery off today's mark in November, his fifth start, but his subsequent three runs were underwhelming; others have more pressing claims. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Son of Havana Grey who improved with each of his three runs at two, landing 6f Ripon maiden in September on his final run for George Boughey; has since changed hands for 52,000gns (also gelded) and very much one to consider on his handicap debut. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Green on debut and then ran fourth in a better race than this at Thirsk (6f, good); was beaten 6l last time but a tongue-tie is added and the one to beat. |
4/7 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Too green to do himself justice when seventh of nine at Windsor (6f, good; 15-2) five weeks ago; plenty of progress required but he's with a yard having a successful season with its 2yos and it's possible. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f nursery here off 2lb lower late last year; below that level in two runs back and has been gelded since only beating one home down to this trip at Catterick six weeks ago. |
11/2 |

9th 3 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Edged out Liverpool Star to win a 6f Newcastle handicap in December; faded into fifth on his reappearance there in March but is entitled to strip fitter for the outing; showed promise on turf at the start of his career; respected. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sound performances at Newcastle (5f/6f) since handicapping and switched to AW, close second in November then scoring gamely in December; respected with further improvement plausible. |
2/1 |
