13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a breakthrough win on his return at Chelmsford (1m) in March but below par more recently; well-held third of six in 1m2f Redcar handicap last time; blinkers are reached for. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Soundly beaten when back on turf at Musselburgh (1m, good) this month but may have been unsuited by first-time cheekpieces (which are now left off); running well over 1m on AW previously, when shaping as though this longer trip may suit, and he's not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made a successful handicap/seasonal debut at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last month and ran just as well when beaten just over a length into third of nine behind Blues And Royals at Kempton (1m, AW) 13 days later; 3lb better off, but his rival was making his reappearance; cheekpieces given a go. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has posted solid placed efforts this spring, third of nine in 1m4f Kempton handicap 33 days ago; a bit more is needed from 1lb out of the handicap here though. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Gelded prior to showing some improvement with third-place finish at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on handicap/sesaonal debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; receives plenty of weight all round and could go well. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has a smart pedigree but he was beaten 21l, 13l and 20l in his three runs in the autumn; now goes handicapping off a basement mark but he still needs major improvement after 168 days off; been gelded. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Another refusal to settle wasn't sufficient to stop him hitting the line strongly for last time's Chelmsford novice third (7f), the single strongest piece of form on offer here; temperamental dam's siblings include a 2yo scorer over this longer trip; live claims once again. |
3/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
£34,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; raced too freely and never really got competitive when eighth of ten on debut at Windsor (1m, soft) this month; significant improvement required. |
20/1 |

£36,000 yearling, £34,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; by Sergei Prokofiev; dam refused to race both starts, out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winner; owned by the Royal Windsor Racing Syndicate and is a newcomer to note. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Some promise in two turf runs last autumn; 150-1 for his stable debut in December (7f, Polytrack; tongue tied first time) and he was caught wide before dropping right away; gelded since; can do better now handicapping. |
14/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten about 5l on his Brighton debut (7f, soft), his effort flatlining late on having recovered from a bad start; dam's siblings including dual 1m 2yo scorer Snoano (later won the Wolferton); appealing. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
25,000gns yearling; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Snoano (useful 1m-1m4f including 2yo) and Tulip Dress (6f/7f), out of unraced half-sister to French 1m1f Group 3 winner Sparkling Beam; plenty to like on paper and he's an interesting newcomer. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Finished last on Bath debut (1m, good to soft; 4-1) in October, but after wind surgery he showed some ability when fourth at Kempton (1m, AW) in December; returns after another break but he has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is open to more progress on this step up in trip; in the mix with tongue-tie added. |
11/2 |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
From the first consignment of Khalifa Sat foals offered at sales in November 2023; definite appeal but, one 1m1f scorer aside, immediate damside pedigree suggests middle distances will prove a better fit ultimately. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Advanced his form with second of 11 in 1m2f Nottingham handicap two weeks ago; he's a player up in trip on his Tapeta debut with Oisin Murphy up. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-race maiden who is showing some consistency and ties in with Sports Day on Yarmouth (1m2f) reappearance form; may improve with that outing under his belt; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not far away at Pontefract or Bath (again 1m on good to soft) last autumn on his second and third starts; makes his handicap debut and some improvement should be forthcoming this season. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October and built on that when second of eight in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) two weeks ago; this is a warm race for handicap debut but it looks as if he will stay at least 1m4f. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Showed promise with his late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October; should have more to offer over middle distances as a 3yo and he needs a close look on his return; gelded since his last run. |
4/1 |
|
3 (3) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finished just over 3l behind Pantile's Gift here three weeks ago but that was his debut and he did well given he was slowly away and looked inexperienced; improvement on the cards. |

9st 10lb |
Built on the encouragement of his handicap debut and pulled 4.5l clear to win at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) eight days ago; unexposed over this trip and holds solid claims back on turf under a 6lb penalty. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Promise as a 2yo and again on his handicap debut/reappearance at Chelmsford 18 days ago (1m2f); should be sharper today and he's a leading contender. |
2/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in his first three starts, recording a peak RPR of 67 when second at Bath in October (1m, good to soft); disappointing on slower ground three weeks later (absent since) but he steps up in trip for his handicap debut and still has some potential. |

Ran a similar race to fourth-placed Heroics when both were behind Pantile's Gift here recently, having been slow to break before keeping on; better expected with that experience behind him. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice/maiden races (7f-1m) in the autumn, but ought to get more competitive in low-grade middle-distance handicaps this year; market may guide. |
10/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Havana Gold filly from a family which has served this trainer and owner-breeder well for around a quarter of a century, throwing the occasional 2yo winner such as this one's half-sister Toybox (7f); check market. |
