10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unable to land a telling blow in his first three handicaps (7f-1m1f); in good hands and not written off just yet, but others in this line-up have much more obvious claims. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Best 2yo run came when keeping on for close fourth here (6f, good) in September; however, he's struggled elsewhere on both runs this season (7.4f/7f, good to soft/AW) and a dramatic revival is needed back at Carlisle. |
10/1 |

10th 2 (8) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise in two of three starts last year (over 6f) but he never figured on handicap debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft; had been gelded) recently after a slow start; needs to bounce back on his AW debut. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
No problem with soft ground and he returns to Class 5 after two defeats at a higher level; only 3lb higher than for his front-running win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Returned to form when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but he failed to back that up in a Silver Cup trial at Ayr last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |
|
16th 17 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) in June and ran well off this 5lb higher mark when 1l fourth of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's necessary if he's to return to winning ways in this hotter contest. |
12/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Sole 3yo in this field; maiden last term; gelded prior to posting form figures of 131 (over 7f-1m) this season, the wins on sharp, left-handed tracks, namely Catterick (good) and Chester (good to soft); open to further improvement, should take well to Thirsk and receives weight all round; respected. |
11/4 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled his tally at Newcastle (6f) in May and posted a very good fifth in Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f) after; not at his best when tenth at Newmarket (6f) last time but freshened up since and no surprise to see him get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
2-2 on the AW, at 5f and 6f; his first turf handicap run, at Bath in April, was nothing to get excited about but he showed he belonged at this level when a never-nearer fifth of 27 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; a big run back at 6f could be on the way. |
11/1 |
|
5th 27 (30) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Placed in his three turf runs but his wins have come on the two occasions he has tackled the Tapeta at Newcastle; smooth win over 6f seven weeks ago but he is in much deeper today. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in C&D handicap (good) in May on stable/seasonal debut and that form puts him in the picture; however, disappointing at Redcar (5f, good) since and now 0-10; needs to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in six of eight starts for Richard Fahey as a 2yo and, having been gelded, was beaten less than a length on stable debut/reappearance at Ripon (6f, good) last month; isn't short of speed so the return to 5f shouldn't be an issue; player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 as a 2yo for Richard Fahey, albeit having made the frame six times; changed hands for 20,000gns in the autumn and was subsequently gelding; reappears on a workable mark; market may guide. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Displayed promise when fourth of six in Catterick novice (7f, good) in April and may not have handled soft ground when soundly beaten in her other two qualifying races; remains unexposed and is sure to appreciate this ease in grade on AW debut; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Bettered inauspicious 2yo debut (6f) when fourth of six at Catterick (7f, good) in April but needs to take another step forward here. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Stayed on for fourth off basement mark on seasonal/handicap debut at Carlisle (1m, soft) in May, but her well-held third at Musselburgh (1m, good) the following month was a backward step; others look stronger. |
11/1 |
|
12 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
She didn't run badly on her reappearance at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month but she was a remote third of six at Musselburgh two weeks ago; stable also runs Lanarra. |
