9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
6f maiden winner on the AW; wore a tongue-tie on handicap debut but that was soon discarded and he ran well behind one completing a hat-trick at Nottingham; tries 7f for the first time and that could trigger something. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Narrowly came out on top when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October on his second start, but he hung left when failing to beat a rival home on his handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) 78 days ago; tongue-tie is discarded for his turf debut. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Closely related to smart AW performer Cool Hand Luke; built upon promising debut when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f) in October; makes handicap debut after 170-day absence but should have more improvement to come; tongue-tie added. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No Nay Never colt who arrives on the up, getting off the mark in 5.5f Bath maiden before coming home really strongly to follow up in 5f Haydock handicap eight days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can be headstrong but comfortably got off the mark at the seventh attempt in a recent maiden at Bath (5.7f, firm); ran well on good to soft last year (unraced on softer); could be on a handy mark if things have now clicked. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 and has pulled too hard in both his races this season, over C&D and 6f on the AW; the ability is there if he gives himself a chance. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
400,000euros breeze-up purchase who is now 0-7; not beaten far on his Newmarket return (7f, good) last month and had excuses at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; blinkers now given a go, but he does need to find a bit more. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
400,000euros breeze-up buy who proved expensive to follow in maiden/novice company over 6f last year; just a fair comeback at Newmarket three weeks ago, upped to 7f on on his handicap debut, and needs improvement for today's extra furlong. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
400,000euros breeze-up buy who failed to live up to expectations over 6f last year, for all that he was placed three times; chance of belated progress depends on the effects of new trip and switch to handicap level. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Stepped forward from his first two efforts when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October; subsequently gelded but he pulled too hard on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW; hooded) 61 days ago; drops back in trip with the hood removed. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
280,000euros yearling; failed to shine in three novice/maiden events, albeit faring a bit better over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton (6f; fourth, 20-1) in October last time; gelded and fitted with a hood (usually races freely) for handicap debut; perhaps has simply needed time. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field in two 7f turf runs last month; showed speed last time but still not sure to benefit from this drop in trip on paper. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January (7f; visored first time) and that in spite of pulling hard; again failed to settle when fifth of nine back at Wolverhampton eight weeks ago; still has time to do better. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Pulled hard in a first-time visor (retained) 18 days ago, so it was encouraging that he saw things out so strongly to win that C&D handicap debut; a 4lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him, particularly if he is a bit more tractable through the early stages this time. |
3/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten around 30l when tenth of 13 on last August's Newbury debut (6.5f, good; backed into 10-1); gelded since and his pedigree offers hope of much better at some stage; refused to enter the stalls here last month. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Well held in two starts over 6f seven months apart, the latest on stable debut at Salisbury (good) nine days ago; plenty more needed. |

8th 10 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
66-1, slowly away and never in the hunt on her Wolverhampton debut (6f; for Paul Attwater) last October; may leave that well behind in time. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beat only one rival home on his handicap debut last month and he dropped away up the straight after making a big move at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; first-time visor) 28 days ago; makes his turf debut. |
11/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has weak form claims; always towards rear over C&D on handicap/seasonal debut; addition of visor needs to make a difference. |
14/1 |
|
10th 10 (10) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Down the field in three sprint novice/maiden runs in the second half of 2025; has had gelding and wind operations since last seen; steps up in trip for handicap debut and a tongue-tie is added, so there are a host of reasons to expect an improved showing. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
1-12 on the AW, the win coming from 1lb lower at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; fair fourth of eight back there (first-time blinkers) last time, but this is a tricky track on which to make his turf debut. |
4/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Did well in AW handicaps at the start of the year including winning over C&D from 2lb lower in February; last two starts leave plenty to be desired and he needs the blinkers to help turn things around. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (9) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed twice off today's mark since opening account over C&D in February; needs to rebound from a below-par effort this month but still features prominently in calculations. |

14th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
She has run two creditable races since switched to handicaps, both over a mile at Chelmsford, without looking ahead of her mark; a career best is required to win. |
8/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Never in the hunt in a 6f fillies' novice at Chelmsford on her debut 18 days ago (hooded); should do better at some point. |
33/1 |
