17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Promising third on debut at Sandown (7f, soft) in August then easily won three-runner maiden there (1m, soft); carries a 7lb penalty this afternoon but still stands out as the one to beat for his top yard. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Top-class pedigree as a son of Dubawi and of a winning half-sister to Enable; sent off the 100-30 favourite for last month's C&D debut (soft) and ran on well for a close third after turning for home in last place; the first and fourth horses haven't done wonders for the form since but that was a highly promising start. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-4 but has made the frame on his last three starts, leading for most of the way when fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January; doesn't look thrown in but cheekpieces could eke out some improvement. |
15/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on last two starts, his best effort on AW debut latest when third of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month; steps up in trip and open to improvement now he goes handicapping. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
About 4l behind fifth-placed Brighton View when 9l sixth of nine at 20-1 on last month's debut over C&D (good to soft); a big step forward is needed today but pedigree provides hope he'll be capable of better. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Proving an inconsistent maiden and failed to make much impact at Kempton (6f; stable debut) most recently; yard also runs Our Guy, who looks more interesting. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to progress from his debut third when trained by Andrew Balding, lacking the pace to land a telling blow over C&D when last seen in January; sold for 10,000gns since; drops in class for his stable debut and Oisin Murphy booked so better could be forthcoming; headgear worn for all three handicap runs now discarded. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Made a promising debut when third of 11 here (1m) in August, but has gone backwards since and failed to beat a rival in both handicaps with headgear fitted; dropping in trip needs to make a big difference. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in five starts and has trailed in last in a couple of handicaps since headgear was introduced; difficult to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in four starts and ran particularly poorly on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first-time visor) last month; needs the switch to cheekpieces to make a big difference. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (2) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten about 12l in each of his 1m runs but this combination of new trip, first-time headgear and switch to handicap level may prompt a bigger effort. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
His standout run is the middle one when beaten a neck at Kempton (1m AW); possibilities on handicap debut if tapping into that promise on the back of wind surgery; market informative. |
16/1 |
|
9th 4 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Belied his 50-1 odds with neck second to Heraldry at Kempton (1m, AW) on seasonal debut; now gets a 7lb pull with that rival and has possibilities provided the form is backed up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten 15l when fifth of seven behind a 1-10 shot on his Haydock debut (1m, good to soft) in October; half-brother to a French AW winner, but improvement is needed. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled in two starts last year and it was the same story at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 65 days ago on his first start since being gelded; returns to turf with much better needed on his handicap debut; market may be informative. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Big prices and never left the rear division in two novice events on turf and Newcastle AW as 2yo; gelded since but can only watch; yard also runs Baggie Boy. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has improved since going handicapping, but was 8l behind Worlington at Ffos Las last week (1m4f, good); needs to benefit from new headgear and this step up to 2m. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
This gelding still looked raw when last of five on his recent handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; 7-1), having been gelded; could well have more to offer down in class though. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Beat a total of one rival last autumn in four starts over 7f/1m on AW and softer than good; gelded since and makes handicap debut over much further in first cheekpieces after 236 days off; 2lb wrong but, from this yard, you know he could reveal himself in a new light; market should be revealing. |
