18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
None too consistent for current stable and his best efforts in Britain have been on AW; ideally suited by testing ground when trained in France so rain would aid his cause. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Gained sole British success in Kempton event in October off 3lb higher; inconsistent otherwise and is by no means certain to back up latest effort (ran respectably). |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown most of his AW form at Kempton but ran creditably at Southwell most recently; makes Wolverhampton debut with a tongue-tie replacing usual hood; brings uncertainty. |

3rd 4 (1) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with two good placed efforts at Kempton; not at the same level at Lingfield last month and he has a bit more to prove on Tapteta. |

6th 2 (8) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Scored at Kempton (7f) in April and right back on song of late, edged out only very late on when runner-up in similar event there last month; must enter calculations despite a 2lb weights rise. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
7f and 1m winner on good; has been unable to return to the heights of his most recent win at York last July, in six subsequent starts; back on a handy mark; could be better for his reappearance and is not written off. |
12/1 |
|
12th 1 (13) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks both consistency and recent match practice (absent for 200 days) but holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form; has gained both handicap wins off 2lb higher, including over C&D (good) last July. |
25/1 |
|
4 (11) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m novice here easily as a 2yo when trained by the Gosdens; back off the same mark as when successful at York (7f, good) in July and wasn't beaten far, albeit only eighth of 14, at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 19 days ago; not ruled out. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; returns to his optimum trip off a reduced mark and this is his first Class 5 handicap for some time; not solid but he has the ability to go well. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb below his last winning mark but patchy form since returned to the AW and attempts this far for the first time; hood given a go. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (11) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shapes as if this return to 6f is worth a shot but otherwise has something to find on the balance of his recent 7f form and losing sequence goes back to 2024; others have stronger claims. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Listed winner in Ireland as a 2yo who regressed sharply for Jamie Osborne; been off for four four months since well held over C&D and the change of scenery will need to have done the trick. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Useful on his day and is a stone below last winning mark but looks far from sure to take advantage, having failed to beat a rival in latest start; yet to score on AW. |
14/1 |
|
6 (11) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
7-36 on turf and 0-15 on the AW, albeit in the frame on 12 occasions; 2lb lower than when chasing home Al Ameen over C&D in May, but has a high draw so others are preferred for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Patchy form since last win over a year ago and cheekpeices now replaced by first-time visor; edging down the weights but may find one or two too good from double-figure draw. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
British form figures 2221321; returned from a slightly less productive stint in Dubai to narrowly edge out Sergeant Pep in a 7f Class 4 at Lingfield (13-8 favourite) ten days ago; with consistency being his forte, he should be one the premises once again from just 2lb higher. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

7f novice win at Kempton last August and he showed better form in two handicaps there last autumn; down the field in two runs in Dubai this year but he looks a key player back on British soil. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins over C&D in the spring, but last two efforts (albeit in warmer company) leave something to be desired; widest stall to contend with. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned mostly at shorter; scored three times over 7f at Kempton in the spring; below par over C&D on penultimate outing and has something to prove back at 1m. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 6f winner as a 2yo and good second over 7f a few times last term, shaping as if 1m is worth exploring; possibilities upped to this distance, provided he's back in top form. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (1) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 0-10 in handicaps but he was a good second on three occasions last term; going one better is a possibility, provided first-time tongue-tie proves beneficial with Newmarket reappearance under his belt. |
9/1 |
|
12th 14 (3) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins as a juvenile (6f, good/good to firm); couldn't add to that tally last year but he was gelded in May and went close three times at 7f (good to firm/AW) subsequently; returns on a competitive-looking mark and he's considered. |

Just one win to his name after 16 starts; made quite an encouraging return from a short break when fourth at Lingfield in January but disappointed back there since (both 7f). |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Just one win to his name after 15 starts; has some strong handicap form but he finished behind Tiger Crusade over C&D last month and the headgear experiment is now aborted. |

4th 3 (7) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Went without a win in 2025 but he's a reliable sort and posted a good fourth of 14 in 7f Kempton handicap in November; has gone well fresh so he's much respected after a break. |

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

Useful form in his early outings but well held in three well-spaced-out starts in handicaps, the latest for this trainer; switch to cheekpieces will need to make a big difference. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Useful form on his first two starts, winning a 7f maiden at Newcastle (September 2024) before a good fourth under a penalty one month later; life has been tougher on his last three starts and he returns for a new trainer after five months off. |
33/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won debut at Newcastle (7f) for Dominic Ffrench Davis just over a year ago and ran well on stable debut here (1m) next time, but then twice disappointed back here (eased last time); plenty to prove after ten months off. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

Made all to break his duck at the ninth attempt at Newbury (7f, good) in August, but didn't back it up at Ascot (7f, soft) last month; half-brother to two AW winners, but more will be needed in order to defy this mark. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eight-race maiden but he had a couple of close calls at Newmarket last season and wasn't beaten far on his stable debut there (7f; first-time blinkers) two weeks ago; has claims if he can build on that and he seems versatile ground-wise. |

Had an AW double (one here) over about 1m last summer but his latest two outings for his new yard have been moderate; another furlong would have been preferable, even if leaving those efforts behind. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |

Won two in a row last summer (1m/8.6f, AW) and returned from two-month break to finish third of ten on yard debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June; may be able to build on that last run and is not ruled out each-way. |
