14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when fifth of seven at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month and is now back on same mark as when dead-heating at 80-1 at Chelmsford in the autumn but others have more convincing profiles. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Generally struggled for this yard but the notable exception came when dead-heating at Chelmsford last October (6f, AW); beaten 19l at Doncaster on his return ten weeks ago; not a solid option. |

Sprung an 80-1 surprise at Chelmsford in October (6f; dead-heated) but failed to back it up at Southwell two weeks later; others look safer. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Dead-heated in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last October; three solid efforts have followed and he should appreciate returning to 6f; drying ground no problem and he's high on the list. |
9/4 |
|
4th 3 (11) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two solid placed efforts have followed his AW win (6f; dead-heated) at Chelmsford last October; still has relatively low mileage and a promising claimer has been booked; first 5f run since his 2yo days. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Had a tongue-tie on for the first time when dead-heating at Chelmsford (6f) in October and he ran another solid race off this mark at Southwell (6f) next time; returns from a 160-day break and he could have more to offer on the AW. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (7f, good) in May, ran respectably at Goodwood next time and beaten a neck at Newmarket four weeks ago; finished last in April (reappearance) in his only race on good to firm but otherwise needs plenty of respect. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won an ordinary apprentice handicap easily under 8lb claimer Chloe Lyons on the Rowley Mile last month and was handed a stiff 8lb rise for it; ran to a similar level off his revised mark in better company (soft) last time to confirm himself still in form. |
4/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Capitalised on his reduced mark when running away with a 7f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago (good ground); hit with an 8lb rise but he has had few chances at the trip; untested on slower than good. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
13 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has some solid form to his name, notably seconds at Haydock and Wolverhampton; 2lb well in but there are other improving sorts on show. |
12/1 |
|
4 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soon off the mark for this yard at Chelmsford (AW) in December and it was a fine return when quickly out of the stalls and finishing third of 18 at Ascot (again 6f, good to firm); respected off the same mark despite his unfavourable draw; goes on all ground. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 16 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Chelmsford in December; 2lb higher mark and stronger opposition might find him out back from five months off. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Kempton handicap in June (6f) off a 3lb higher mark; not matched it twice in the meantime but has been gelded since his latest run and this mark should be within range; more appealing than many. |
9/2 |
|
1 (8) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Often leads, as when wide-margin winner of 6f Lingfield novice in January; had a tough task on handicap debut but two subsequent defeats, over C&D and at Wolverhampton, suggest he has his share of weight. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |
|
2 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |
|
6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
7th 17 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Prominent racer with a 4-9 strike-rate on AW; lacklustre run at Kempton six weeks ago but in a strong race; down in class but the widest stall isn't ideal. |
6/1 |
|
12th 4 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; 4-8 on AW with a record of 231 at Kempton (the win over this trip); drawn wide when below his best at Chester last time; likely to face competition for the lead in this field. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made it 4-8 on the AW when making most at Wolverhampton early last week; stall 7 isn't ideal for a front-runner under the penalty, especially one who's having a first run at shy of 6f and boasts a patchy record on turf; bit to overcome. |
4/1 |
