29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No real impact in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps following break/gelding operation then ran poorly in first-time headgear (blinkers) over 1m4f; less severe headgear goes on here and he'll likely encounter genuine fast ground for the first time. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in last season's novice races at about 1m but it's been a low-key start in handicaps, at 1m2f and 1m3f; trainer turns to blinkers for some inspiration. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved placing each start last year but, having been gelded, he returned with a low-key sixth on handicap debut at Nottingham three weeks ago (upped to 1m2f; 9-2; behind Extraterrestrial); rather watch. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three starts this term were at about 1m2f on good, unraced on firmer; won handicap debut at Goodwood in May; disappointing favourite at York (failed to settle early on) next time but better from off the pace when third of 12 off this mark over C&D three weeks ago, in a tight finish for second with Akho Mezzna and Tambora; each-way contender again for in-form yard. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance/handicap debut over C&D (good) early last month, but proved a disappointing favourite at York (1m2f, good) last time; needs to bounce back, but the return to Sandown may help. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11-2 for handicap/seasonal debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and showed improved form to come from off the pace and win narrowly; the runner-up went one better on Monday; open to further improvement and the 3lb rise will probably underestimate him. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Made most when winning at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) in April but he didn't see out that trip so well in handicaps after and the return to 1m, with a tongue-tie added, was a better fit for him at Windsor recently; still has potential despite 6lb rise. |
100/30 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m2f novice winner in April; rather disappointing afterwards but he was then well backed last time at Ayr (1m2f) and beat all bar an Ed Walker improver; 2lb higher with a tongue-tie added and firmly enters the reckoning; should be fine back at 1m. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Easy winner of a Bath novice (1m2f, good) in April but he's been disappointing in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he has hung right a few times and he needs to find more progress. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to 1m2f winner Forest Hills (RPR 70); tailed off at 25-1 on debut at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy) in September; transformation needed. |
40/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
February foal by Make Believe; half-brother to 1m2f winner Forest Hills (RPR 70); dam unraced half-sister to 1m4f-2m winner Clowance One, out of 1m4f Group 3 winner/Irish St Leger runner-up Clowance; stable can get them ready first time, but already gelded and he may be one for middle-distances next year. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden but steadily progressive stepping up in trip, his best effort when runner-up at Southwell (1m3f) three weeks ago with Prince Of Calypso a place back; looks sure to be thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed improved form when beaten less than 4l on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
65,000gns breeze-up buy who shaped with promise last season in 7f/1m races won by smart horses; absent since October but potentially interesting on this handicap debut now raised in distance; the market could be enlightening. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden; returned from break with two good efforts this summer, latterly when third of five at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last month; should be fine over today's longer trip; likely contender. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Step forward when keeping on at one pace in first handicap, on Lingfield AW (1m) in January; off the track and gelded after but he came home with a wet sail when a close third of six at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; looks well worth a go at 1m2f; respected. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Absent and gelded since running well at Lingfield (1m, AW; handicap debut) in January; another step forward is required but market support should be heeded. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-6; a couple of fair efforts for James Horton, though not the latest; has since joined James Owen who fits blinkers (replacing a visor); no surprise should he deliver his best run yet. |
13/2 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Lightly raced; gelded and in a first-time visor when a front-running third at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); had no excuses in that 4.25l defeat but it's something to build on. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in four starts, failing to run up to market expectations on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) seven weeks ago; gelded since and a visor is now given a go; interesting to see if his backers return. |

11st 2lb |
Unplaced all six Flat starts; not disgraced when midfield off basement mark at Lingfield (2m, AW) three weeks ago, though, and Sheena West's prowess in this type of race should not be underestimated. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Beaten 9l or more in all five runs, including on his stable debut over C&D (33-1; first run since gelded) last month; that was after an absence but he needs to show a lot more on this return visit. |
20/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Started his career with two 1m novice wins on good ground and ran well in defeat next time; 50-1, however, when tongue tied for first time on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) eight weeks ago and faded to be well beaten; this race is far less daunting and his dam was a 1m1f/1m2f winner, so it will again be interesting to gauge his market strength. |
4/1 |
|
22th 23 (14) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
One of three runners for the Gosden yard; Frankel colt; two novice wins on good ground (beat St Anton on debut) and had a double penalty when close up at Nottingham (good to soft); lacks handicap experience but so too did last year's winner Arabian Story; every chance of serving up a personal best and he's tongue tied for the first time. |
33/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Half-brother to a Group 2 scorer for his connections; two from two, both races at about 1m on good ground, latest at Epsom where he was a 1-12 shot and won going away; has potential and warrants respect, even with a double penalty, in his bid for a novice treble. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made it three wins from his last four starts when returning to winning ways at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare and is 6lb higher today, but all of his wins have been narrow ones and he keeps defying the handicapper; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer). |
16/1 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won handicaps in May on the other course here and at Carlisle (both 1m on good to firm) but the rise in the weights and grade proved a step too far behind Moonfall in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; another tall order here. |
10/1 |
|
14th 21 (21) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reliable and progressive, but he's 6lb higher than when narrowly winning a Class 4 handicap at Carlisle 19 days ago and now 9lb higher than when his season began; he may have revealed his hand. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; won on handicap debut here (1m2f, good to firm) in May before handicap second at Goodwood (1m4f, good), and she went one better in a Listed race there (1m2f, soft) 11 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); progressive but further improvement is needed in this much hotter race. |
50/1 |

1st 10 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut and set steady pace when second here (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) 16 days ago; steady improver but needs a big step forward in today's first-time headgear. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 10 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Made all at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut, building on her 2yo efforts, and looks the type to progress further; bred to be suited by this longer distance; upped in class but receives plenty of weight all round; shortlisted. |
