10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Half-brother to four winners at up to 1m2f including Limato (6f/7f including AW/Group 1; RPR 126); no impact in his qualifying runs but he made some late headway over 1m on Polytrack in final two starts last year; been gelded since and he looks interesting now upped in trip on handicap debut. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Tenth foal; St Mark's Basilica half-brother to four winners notably Limato (6f/7f including 2yo/Group 1); likely to improve for this debut. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 2-3 in handicaps when scoring at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in June but he flopped with a laboured effort at Sandown (beaten 9l) last month; still lightly raced but he's a been a bit up and down so far and needs to bounce back again. |
13/2 |

7th 7 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won handicap/seasonal debut at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in April but odds-on flop over 11.6f at Haydock next time; settling him was again an issue back over 1m2f in a steadily run race at Nottingham (good) one month ago but he came from the back in six-runner race to win by a neck; up 5lb but the third scored next time and this 3yo leaves the firm impression that there is better still to come from him. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Showed improved form when winning at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; runner-up has won twice since) in April but he didn't settle at Haydock (1m4f, good) 25 days ago; this drop back in trip could suit and he's open to further progress. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three starts this term were at about 1m2f on good, unraced on firmer; won handicap debut at Goodwood in May; disappointing favourite at York (failed to settle early on) next time but better from off the pace when third of 12 off this mark over C&D three weeks ago, in a tight finish for second with Akho Mezzna and Tambora; each-way contender again for in-form yard. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance/handicap debut over C&D (good) early last month, but proved a disappointing favourite at York (1m2f, good) last time; needs to bounce back, but the return to Sandown may help. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11-2 for handicap/seasonal debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and showed improved form to come from off the pace and win narrowly; the runner-up went one better on Monday; open to further improvement and the 3lb rise will probably underestimate him. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won handicaps at Leicester (1m4f, good) and Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival in last two starts; bit to prove but he got shuffled back in a tactical race at Chester last time and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |
9/4 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who has won two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) on turf this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle 17 days ago; still unexposed at this trip but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat. |
7/2 |
|
10th 12 (7) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
He has been doing well since being gelded and tackling handicaps on a sound surface, winning four-runner event at Leicester (1m4f) and three-runner race at Redcar (1m6f); far from disgraced in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time, bringing this year's form figures to 21213; not fully exposed and likely capable of better yet. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Too green to do himself justice when well beaten at 11-2 on debut at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; however, he's been given some time by his top trainer and it will be no surprise if he takes a big step forward today. |
11/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth living foal; half-brother to an Italian 1m1f winner and a French Flat/hurdle winner; dam 9.3f winner; with a top stable but by Irish St Leger winner Jukebox Jury and very likely to need further than 7f to be seen to best effect. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took a 7f Lingfield maiden (AW) on his comeback in March but bombed out when strong in the market on his handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) next time; finished 12th of 14 at York a fortnight ago and has a point to prove now. |
40/1 |
|
12th 11 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Possibly didn't take to Epsom (8.5f) last time when beaten favourite on handicap debut; recorded a ready success in Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in his only other start this term and may still have more to offer. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded ahead of his AW debut when readily landing Lingfield maiden (7f) on last month's return; will probably need more on this switch back to turf/handicap debut but it's still early days and he warrants consideration. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark when winning a classified event by 8l at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) last month and he's since posted two good runner-up efforts in handicap company, including when bumping into a subsequent winner at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; makes the shortlist. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Went close when upped to 1m4f on his handicap debut at Ripon before winning a classified at Pontefract by 8l next time (made all); posted another good effort back in handicap company at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 12 days ago but is 5lb higher; makes the shortlist. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Revealed little in his qualifying runs over much shorter trips but he lost out only near the line on handicap debut over 1m4f at Ripon before overpowering his rivals in a classified event at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) last week; goes unpenalised and is due a 5lb rise in future; now having first run on sand but dam has bred two AW winners; good claims. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Runner-up on his first two starts; off since disappointing when seventh of eight at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in April; makes handicap debut and may have improvement in him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Eye-catching second on his Nottingham debut (8.3f, heavy) in October and he built on that with a near-miss on his reappearance here (1m4f) 25 days ago; had some steering issues in that race but he finished well for a clear second and sets the standard on that form; key player. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
35,000gns yearling by Sea The Moon; 18-1 and slowly into stride for novice at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October but he gradually worked his way forward to emerge in second of 12; swiftly raised to 1m4f and brings clear potential, so he looks a leading contender. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No real impact in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps following break/gelding operation then ran poorly in first-time headgear (blinkers) over 1m4f; less severe headgear goes on here and he'll likely encounter genuine fast ground for the first time. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in last season's novice races at about 1m but it's been a low-key start in handicaps, at 1m2f and 1m3f; trainer turns to blinkers for some inspiration. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved placing each start last year but, having been gelded, he returned with a low-key sixth on handicap debut at Nottingham three weeks ago (upped to 1m2f; 9-2; behind Extraterrestrial); rather watch. |

6th 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |

Substantial improvement to win novice at Nottingham in October, followed by creditable sixth of seven in French Listed race (both 1m on heavy); however, eased right down from 4f out on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good; 22-1) three weeks ago, after which it's hard to approach him with confidence. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to build on his debut third of ten at Kempton (7f, AW) last August but he didn't shape badly there over 1m on his handicap debut last month; that was his first start for 258 days and this Time Test gelding could be suited by stepping up to 1m2f. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Third of ten in a newcomers race at Kempton (7f, AW) last August, but two backward steps in the autumn; latest was on heavy going, so might be excused and he needs a second look on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a nursery over C&D in November and ran well to finish third of six behind Fille Imbassee at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) next time, but latest effort over 9.5f here was a step backwards; needs a resurgence. |
6/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Never far away when winning over 8.6f here in November (4lb worse off now with runner-up Phantom Watch); good third of six off this mark at Lingfield four weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 7lb and she should make another bold bid. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy ground was a feasible excuse last time and she had previously finished a close third on good to soft at Leicester (1m); could easily be a factor off this mark. |
