3rd 8 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
AW maiden winner last year who made an encouraging handicap debut/return when fourth at Windsor (good to firm) in May; stepped up on that when close third at Goodwood (also 1m, good; Ciarrai Abu fourth) three weeks ago; winner of that race has gone in again since, as has the fifth; likely to sit handy from his low draw and enters calculations. |
13/2 |

3rd 9 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Made all when winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in October on his third start and posted a solid effort at Windsor (1m, good to firm; first start since being gelded) on his handicap debut last month; may come on for that first outing for 199 days and holds claims. |

1st 6 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Always prominent to justify favouritism on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April; languished in rear, contrastingly, for most of the race at Windsor (11.4f, good) 19 days ago but started to pass rivals over 1f out and finished second of seven; 1m6f beckons strongly after that performance, so he could have more to give. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well held at big prices in three 2yo runs but he looked a different proposition when justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress at this new trip; big player for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Looked a work in progress in three 2yo runs, showing his best form on the second occasion (1m, good to soft); looks sure to improve for 1m2f on paper and he returns with his stable going well. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finished around 17l behind Abundant at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago, but had previously shown promise in two starts over 7f on Polytrack; probably frame material at best, though. |
33/1 |
|
3 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed up promisingly in front for most of last month's Lingfield Polytrack debut, but couldn't consolidate that effort at Chelmsford since, sweating up and hanging (both 7f); hopes likely rest with the encouragement on pedigree as regards both 1m and the switch to turf. |
16/1 |
|
2 (3) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Represents stable not known for 2yo winners and was 50-1 for recent debut at Lingfield (7f) but put in a fairly good front-running shift before fading into fifth and evidently has ability. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten five times, the last twice following wind surgery and raced keenly in the new cheekpieces last time at Newcastle (1m2f); clearly has a big run in him nonetheless. |
5/2 |

4 (7) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seemed to need debut outing; fared better at Bath (1m, good to soft) where he hit a flat spot before staying on for solid third, splitting subsequent scorers; could take another step forward; possibilities. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-6 but he found improvement upped to 1m2f when runner-up in a classified event at Lingfield (good; first-time visor) last week; that was behind a rival who was completing a four-timer and he's a big player if he can build on that. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 12 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Beaten a long way in five starts over 7f/1m on turf/AW; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; needs to take a big step forward on this step up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Beaten a long way in four starts over 7f/1m on turf/AW, with being gelded and new cheekpieces making little difference last time; drops in grade, but still needs to take a big step forward. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seventh to Arc Ole Ole when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York in May; made favourite again, however, in six-runner race here (again 1m4f on good) 15 days ago and always close up to win by a neck, finding plenty for sustained pressure; up 3lb but it looks as if 1m6f will suit him well. |
13/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (1m, good to soft) last October on second start and followed up in Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in March; only seventh of 14 when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) five weeks ago but he should retain potential. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October off a mark 4lb lower than today's but he's been below that level in two starts this year, latest at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; steps up in trip with stamina to prove. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (12) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No show on last month's Windsor reappearance (1m, good to firm), but relished the conditions when winning a Pontefract nursery (1m, soft) in October; interesting if conditions remain testing with a run under his belt. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved on final 2yo start, comfortably landing a nine-runner nursery at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October; that was his first run on testing ground and it remains to be seen if he can build on it back on a faster surface. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 3lb |
Ordinary form in three runs for Ralph Beckett last autumn over shorter trips; blinkers tried for yard debut and upped markedly in trip. |
16/1 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Near-6l third at Ffos Las latest represented only the tiniest step forward on RPRs, but she didn't fail for stamina upped to 7.5f on heavy ground there; yard has had a clutch of 2yos with prior experience hitting the mark already this month, and she remains of real interest accordingly. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well-bred filly who wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine on recent debut at Lingfield (7f, AW), having been rather sluggish in the early stages; needs to improve here but has very obvious potential. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seemingly exposed as ordinary, the step up to 1m2f not making any difference last time; is a half-sister to a couple of winning stayers, but that's rather clutching at straws. |
25/1 |
|
9th 4 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest at best as 2yo (best effort on second start) but tenth of 12 on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (AW; 80-1); having dropped back to 7f that day, she now tries a new trip. |
40/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only modest form shown in a trio of 1m novices at two, too free when seventh at Bath in October; she needs to take a big step forward now going handicapping. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Improved effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third of ten at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm) one month ago; that was just her fifth start and she's one of few legitimate threats to Sarangpur. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed after only four runs but was unable to justify prominence in betting when down the field on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW); needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Cut little ice in a trio of novices (around 1m) last autumn; needs this switch to handicaps/longer trip to spark major improvement. |
