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. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Outclassed rivals on sole 2yo start, over 1m at Yarmouth (soft); had a much stiffer task when returning in a Group 3 last August, where she was struck into, but she was nowhere near justifying short odds on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in October; goes handicapping with potential but queries. |
13/2 |
|
4 (8) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Created a good impression when making a winning debut in Yarmouth novice last October; off ten months before eighth of 13 in Sandown Group 3 event (again 1m on soft; 14-1) in August and this Ghaiyyath filly is very much the one to beat back in these much calmer waters. |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |

3rd 6 |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Outclassed in a useful juvenile hurdle at Christmas; third of eight on the AW last month but that was a 1m6f Class 5 handicap. |

3rd 4 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise in novice/maiden company when trained by Paul Midgley; struggled on his yard/hurdling debut in December and it was the same story in a handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago; down 3lb. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
10st 3lb |
Two decent efforts in ordinary maidens over 1m2f and 1m4f at Dundalk; steps back up in trip after an ordinary effort in an ordinary Killarney maiden last week; should fare better here. |

5th 6 (6) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 9lb |
First seven runs were on AW, initially for Andrew Balding; placed in three of five Dundalk outings for this stable, including a 3l third over 1m in March; made little impression at Limerick on turf debut; better when fourth over C&D in May; closely matched with Could Dreamer on that running. |

First seven runs were on AW; placed in three of five Dundalk outings for this stable, including a 3l third over this trip at Dundalk in March; made little impression at Limerick on turf debut; better ground may help. |
