7th 14 (4) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Suited by AW and looks attractively handicapped, having gained his March win off 2lb higher, but appears more exposed than most of today's rivals; overall record is 1-10. |
20/1 |
|
5th 10 (9) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made a successful seasonal/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March, but his form has rather regressed since; 2lb lower than for the win, but others still preferred. |
20/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Best form was on the AW in March (first two runs after being gelded) when winning at Chelmsford and finishing third in a Kempton handicap (both at 1m); has been disappointing back on turf including with cheekpieces and blinkers; no headgear here; plenty to prove. |

2nd 11 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Launched handicap career with two thirds off basment mark in April (9.4f/1m4f) and didn't run badly when fifth of eigth at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last month but needs to take a step forward to get a win on the board. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
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. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He raced freely last season but still won a 1m novice at Bath the final time (good to soft; unraced on quicker on turf); he's not unrealistically treated off this mark judged on what the second at Bath has achieved since, and being gelded and the addition of headgear might settle him down. |
7/2 |
|
3 (3) |
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 |
|
4 (8) |
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. |

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 |
|
5 (5) |
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 |

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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Carries his head high; 7l fourth of 14 to Arc Ole Ole at York (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; bettered that form when staying on best to win a four-runner race at Sandown (1m6f, good) three weeks ago, but 3lb higher today and his sights are raised. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up twice in novices and made a positive start to his handicap career when 7l fourth of 14 over 1m4f at York (good) four weeks ago; this is less competitive but didn't obviously shape at York as if he's crying out for this 2f longer trip. |
6/1 |
|
4th 12 (5) |
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. |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Showed precious little last season at 7f/1m; only 13-2 for her handicap debut at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) where she was reportedly unsuited by that track's undulations; could well leave that run behind and cheekpieces are tried. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (1) |
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. |
