2nd 1 (2) |
15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent colt who is 3-8, his latest win coming from 13 rivals at Redcar (6f, good) last month; has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big effort. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark for the season at Doncaster (7f) in July and has posted solid efforts to make the frame twice since, runner-up in 7f Thirsk handicap on latter occasion; may do better still reverting to 6f and not without interest after just seven runs. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressed again to edge out a reliable yardstick at Doncaster (7f; 4lb lower) but then only fourth at York; that was a bit disappointing given he was made favourite but this is only his seventh race. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner in the spring before three poor efforts off his revised mark (saddle slipped on one occasion); went close in a Tapeta maiden last autumn but doesn't make obvious appeal. |
20/1 |
|
11th 6 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won a four-runner Bath maiden (5.7f, firm) and a Haydock handicap in May (5f, good to firm); well below form both runs since, including on first outing since being gelded; bit to prove now. |

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. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won in a first-time visor over Wolverhampton's 7f in January but below par in two runs afterwards with the visor retained; bit to prove on first run since March. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
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. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Struggled in three novice/maiden events (6f) and same story in two handicaps (7f/1m); still early days but she needs a transformation back on AW. |
20/1 |
|
8th 13 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Struggled in three novice/maiden events (6f) and same story when upped to 7f on handicap debut at Chepstow (good to soft; 9-1) last month; that was after a break but she needs to show a lot more on this step up to 1m. |

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. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Some solid efforts earlier in the year include a win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February; not so good since April and he was tailed off in six-runner Brighton handicap on his turf debut three weeks ago; now makes classified debut and he'll need to put that firmly behind him; missed the break and never figured when beaten 18l at Wolverhampton yesterday. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 (2) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
C&D win in February came off a 1lb higher mark; not at his best on his last four starts and others have stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
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. |

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 |
