4th 7 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Third of nine on his debut at Brighton (6f, good) last May but went backwards from that in two subsequent runs last season; still unexposed and now goes handicapping at this new trip but he needs to raise his game after six months off. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In decent nick without winning this season until tried in cheekpieces when a below-par sixth of ten to Mereside Princess in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; more is required. |
11/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who has broadly consistent RPRs; made late headway from rear over 7f at Doncaster on turf debut most recently; possibilities upped further in trip, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Proving consistent; gelded before a keen-going fourth of seven in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; he remains with some potential at this trip if proving more tractable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Can race freely, just as he did when third at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) behind a subsequent French Group 3 winner; didn't see a mile out on soft ground at Windsor next time but shaped well when dropped to 6f in a handicap at Kempton (AW) 15 days ago; back into a novice with good claims. |
5/1 |
|
8 (5) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had some learning to do when a close third at Ffos Las (extended 7f) to a subsequent French Group 3 winner but he couldn't sustain his effort over 1m at Windsor (soft; joint-favourite) last month; can pull hard so the drop to 6f could suit now handicapping. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Both starts at about 7f, finishing midfield at Ascot then taking a step forward with third-place finish at Ffos Las (good); bred to be suited by going up in distance; likely player who is a similar type to Arbaawy. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't see the trip out when fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) in July but has been runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good) and Newcastle (6f, AW) in two starts being gelded; blinkers now go on and he sets the standard. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good effort when second over C&D (second start) in June; made a big move before not staying 7f here next time and was gelded before finishing a solid second of 16 at Thirsk (6f, good) last month; leading contender. |
6/5 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown promise all three starts, losing two places near the finish when fourth of ten at Newcastle (7f, AW; subsequently gelded) on latest; should be suited by today's drop back to 6f; remains open to improvement and commands plenty of respect. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 but he was a front-running second of 11 at Bath (5.5f, good; beaten 3l) last month; however, he dropped away after showing early speed at Windsor (5f, good to firm; reported to have stopped quickly) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7 but a drop to 5.7f at Bath (good; unraced on firmer) last time produced a front-running second of 11 off today's mark; admittedly beaten 3l but he was clear at one stage and this first attempt at 5f is interesting. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six-race maiden; placed off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month but weakened tamely when dropped to 6f for turf debut at Salisbury (good) nine days later and still needs to prove himself on grass. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in all six starts on turf, finishing runner-up in the last four including when dropped to this trip for the first time at Wolverhampton (AW) on Tuesday; likely to run his race again, but he has become expensive to follow. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Now 0-5 but has yet to run a bad race and has been knocking on the door in 6f handicaps; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fairly consistent when placed in three AW qualifying starts and it was an encouraging handicap/turf debut when second of seven at Yarmouth (again 6f, good to firm) last month; probably capable of better and he's respected. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to get off the mark but has been placed twice in handicaps this year; first-time cheekpieces are applied and he should be suited by this step up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
12th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best effort when beaten less than a length on handicap debut over C&D in March; twice held since, though latest Kempton effort forgivable on account of the draw; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (11) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Calyx gelding who has made a solid start since joining his current yard, fifth of ten in 7f Lingfield handicap 16 days ago; no forlorn hope eased 1lb here. |

16/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Five-race maiden whose two handicap efforts (7f/5f) suggest she may improve for this return to 6f; not particularly easy to recommend on bare form, however. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Dropped right away having raced freely in a 7f handicap here in January, her second run for new connections; had hinted at ability in novice company though and she could still have a bigger run in her; drops to 5f for the first time. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two 5f Polytrack wins last winter and confirmed she's no one-trick pony with some good turf runs of late; involved. |
7/4 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice on AW over the winter and she has run two solid races back on turf this summer; suspicion a few of these will have her measure tonight though. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Untried on softer than good ground; three runs on turf and the best of them came last time out when third of 12 at Windsor (6f, good) 19 days ago; was mucked about that day and this dual 5f AW winner should be fine back down in trip, especially given a likely good gallop despite the small field. |
