13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 under rules; showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but will need to race with a bit more restraint in order to see out the longer trip. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Struggled in three novice/maiden races in the autumn (1m2f-1m4f) but the minor promise he showed in bumpers beforehand offers some hope for him in this low-grade handicap; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who has bits of encouraging form; good second, despite traffic issues, at Beverley (8.5f) on penultimate start and was possibly unsuited by Ripon latest; first win is not inconceivable. |
6/1 |

11th 1 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut in April (1m, AW), when he reared at the start, but this very lightly raced 5yo showed what he is capable of when second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; unproven on slow ground; on the shortlist. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-race maiden; best efforts when second on AW on two occasions; didn't live up to market expectations last time (handicap debut) but progress is still a possibility. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Has cut little ice in a pair of bumpers and 1m novices at Pontefract and Thirsk this summer; very hard to make a case for. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
She built on her Ascot reappearance in May when narrowly landing the Kensington Palace (1m, good to firm) at that course's royal meeting the following month; first crack at a Listed race when beaten 4l at Haydock (Blingy's Sister 1l ahead) seven weeks ago, but she's well worth another try at this level; considered. |
3/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Very lightly raced for her age; posted a personal best when justifying strong support in 24-runner Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm), leading late on; still unexposed and well worth her place in this higher grade. |
4/1 |
|
1st 10 (16) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Lightly raced filly who ran an eye-catching trial for this when third of nine to Radiant Beauty and Song N Dance over C&D (good) on reappearance, doing well to finish so close to that prominently ridden pair having been held up in rear in a steadily run race; further improvement seems likely for top yard after only four starts; leading claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Often a front-runner; 3-7 on AW but he's 0-4 on turf and latest third to Elsass at Hamilton (1m3f, good) was no more than respectable; untested on good to soft or worse but his pedigree may given some encouragement, as his dam is closely related to outstanding performer Enable whose 15 wins included the 2017 Oaks over C&D and four of her Group 1 wins were on softer than good. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner; won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in October and December and at Meydan (1m3f, dirt) in January; merely mid-division back in Britain at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) six weeks ago, but that was a hot race; turf form (first three starts) is nowhere near his handicap mark. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
3,000guineas yearling by Sergei Prokofiev; dam, sprint maiden (RPR 50), is a half-sister to winners Sound Of Guns (Group-placed 6f 2yo), Masai Spirit (1m) and Storm Catlilly (US 5.5f); on this debut, others seem more likely, but his trainer has had a 3yo newcomer win at Newcastle before. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fair Flat maiden; has improved with experience in this sphere and gained a first success in nine-runner novice at Worcester (2m) in July, overcoming a bad error three out; he looks to have more to offer so needs considering. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 0-5 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles but he has proved broadly consistent and penultimate effort has worked out well; creditable third over C&D latest; solid claims. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Placed on the Flat in April (1m6f, AW; RPR 71) and kept on for respectable third behind two subsequent winners when back over hurdles at Southwell (2m, good) last month; has a bit to find here but considered each-way. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Maiden whose best efforts have come on the AW when placed in two maidens; recent efforts leave a bit more to be desired. |

7th 8 (3) |
30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
9st 0lb |
Posted some good runs earlier this year, mostly on AW but has been below form the last thrice and needs a return to his best. |
