1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The Bath maiden (5.3f, firm) he won on debut in August wasn't an especially strong event but he was well on top at the finish; failed to build on it in a sales race at Newmarket one week later but he was sent off the 7-2 second favourite and wasn't well drawn; capable of better and should be involved despite a penalty and a wide draw. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The horse he beat last week at Bath (extended 5f, firm) is now 0-7 but this colt won well and represents Clive Cox who excels in these races (had the winner at York on Thursday); seven days is a quick reappearance but has to be respected. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in all six starts on turf, finishing runner-up in the last four including when dropped to this trip for the first time at Wolverhampton (AW) on Tuesday; likely to run his race again, but he has become expensive to follow. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Now 0-5 but has yet to run a bad race and has been knocking on the door in 6f handicaps; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fairly consistent when placed in three AW qualifying starts and it was an encouraging handicap/turf debut when second of seven at Yarmouth (again 6f, good to firm) last month; probably capable of better and he's respected. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year and the same in three 7f handicaps this term for new yard; his two highest ratings came on AW but the latest did offer some hope for this 3f longer trip. |
6/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year; sent off the 4-1 favourite for his stable/handicap debut at Leicester three weeks ago (7f, good) but never featured; no better back at Leicester ten days ago but that was in a Class 5; down in the weights and his best RPR came in his only AW start so it's too soon to discount him completely. |
10/1 |
|
8th 12 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs (6f) for Eve Johnson Houghton last season; 4-1 favourite on handicap/stable debut over C&D (good) 12 days ago but he was always in rear and finished 15th of 17; has good pedigree and is still early days but he needs to leave that latest form a long way behind. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair sprint maiden at 2yrs but he's failed to fire this term, gelded before coming in last of ten in 6f Kempton handicap 13 days ago; steps up markedly in trip here. |
25/1 |
|
10th 4 (9) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield in December (5f; blinkered first time) but two disappointing runs have followed; has been gelded since latest run and is down in class with a good apprentice booked so a revival not impossible, for all he carries risk. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; made a bold bid over 5f here last month but the blinkers didn't have the same effect at Chelmsford four weeks ago and they are now discarded; has the best form but vulnerable to anything progressive. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; respectable efforts in 6f/7f handicaps for new yard this year and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him too much extra having been eased a further 2lb. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; placed in two of his three runs for new yard this season but he was beaten almost 5l when third at Kempton last time; edging down the weights but he needs to find more back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (9) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
C&D win for Oliver Cole last October; he hasn't run badly two 6f handicaps for this yard but improvement is needed now returned to AW. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Showed some promise for Andrew Balding last year but he has beaten just one rival home in three starts for new connections (including after a wind op before the latest); drops back to 6f with a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
14th 13 (14) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has weak claims on her AW efforts for new yard and chance partly depends on the effects of a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f for Andrew Balding last year and he was last of six at here over 8.5f on his handicap/stable debut 37 days ago; drops back in trip with a tongue-tie applied; better needed. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on for encouraging fifth on debut at Kempton (6f, AW) on October 1; down the field in Listed race at Redcar (6f, good to soft) three days later; retains potential for good yard now up in trip and back down in grade; the hood worn on first two starts is left off; could have a part to play. |
7/2 |
|
11 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 8lb |
Showed something to build on when never-nearer fifth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f, AW; 28-1; hooded) on Wednesday, but needs a major leap forward just three days on. |
28/1 |
|
7 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Third foal; closely related to 5f/6f winner Resilience (including 2yo/AW; RPR 89), half-brother to 5f winner Expert Opinion (including AW; 78); dam 5.7f 2yo winner (85), half-sister to smart 1m/1m2f winner Sinjaari; hooded for debut and with Oisin Murphy on board stablemate Lifeguard perhaps he is one for the longer term. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Placed on three of his four runs, last time finishing third over 7f at Wolverhampton; has since had wind surgery; interesting, but was below par only previous run on turf. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (2) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Close second at Kempton (6f) on debut in October and has good claims here if judged on that performance, but two lesser efforts have followed and he moves up in trip with a point to prove. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both 2yo starts over 6f in October, keeping on for neck second at Kempton then beaten favourite at Brighton; may confirm the debut promise returned to AW; remains of interest. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Gelded son of Tasleet; well held at big prices in three novice/maiden events but he now drops into a 0-50 and is a possible improver on this drop back in trip; needs watching in the market. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |

5th 3 (1) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to finish better than fifth across her six starts but when filling that position at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last time she shaped as though the return to 7f would help; 3lb lower today and not discounted. |
14/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

No progress for the switch to handicaps on her last two starts; edging down the weights and returning to 1m can help but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
