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. |
9/1 |

9th 5 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three outings over 6f last year, showing promise when keeping on for close fourth at Carlisle (good) on second start; blew the start at Ayr (soft) four weeks later, so can have that fourth of eight marked up slightly; subsequently gelded; potential improver and one of the more likely types, particularly if backed. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Kept on for close fourth at Carlisle (6f, good) to improve markedly on debut effort; may take another step forward; in the mix. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Down the field in good-ground handicaps on his two starts this year, the latest at Hamilton on Sunday; however, he won a soft-ground maiden at Ayr (6f) last September and the return to a slow surface may be just what he needs. |
10/1 |

10th 12 (7) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with breakthrough victory at Ayr (6f); off seven months and shaped as if the run was needed when a fading fifth of seven in 6f Pontefract handicap on his recent return; can take a step forward now. |

3rd 4 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise as a 2yo; gelded prior to his reappearance in which he won a 7f Catterick maiden in good style; hit with a 6lb rise for that but 1m should suit and further progress seems likely; trainer in good form. |
9/2 |

1st 6 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Fair form at around 7f on going ranging from good to firm to good to soft last year; below par when turned over at short odds over 6f on soft final start; reappears having been gelded; sure to be thereabouts if recapturing anywhere near the best of his 2yo form. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved with each of his three runs last autumn, getting off the mark in a 5f maiden here in October; plugged on for third in a 5.7f handicap at Bath (good to soft) on his reappearance two weeks ago, beaten nearly 5l at the finish; needs more to defy this mark but returning to AW may help. |

3rd 3 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved with each of his three runs last autumn, getting off the mark when switched to AW at Newcastle in October (5f); his opening mark looks a tough one but he is at least unexposed. |
7/1 |
|
5 (7) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Son of Starman who showed fair form when placed in a pair of 6f maidens at Pontefract and Ayr last month; he holds good form claims. |

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. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-7 but has often run well, finishing a close third in a nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in August and returning to form when third in a maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) last time; might not be far away. |
7/1 |

6 (6) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came up well short in competitive nursery last time; reasonably consistent otherwise and holds place claims in this field; more exposed than his rivals, admittedly. |

20-1 for her Ayr debut last September (6f, soft) and dropped away to be beaten 22l; should do better in time but others look stronger in this field. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Half-sister to a triple winner for her connections; achieved little last autumn but may fare better now handicapping; check the market signals for further guidance. |
20/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and ran to the same very modest level in two Ayr events (1m/6f) on easy ground last month; unlikely to have a say. |
