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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

5th 7 (4) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not the most consistent since handicapping this year but he scored on his reappearance at Beverley (good to firm) in April and again at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) in June; went down by only a neck on AW last time and his overall profile is one of progression. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Goes beyond an extended 1m2f for the first time and there's a concern regarding whether he'll settle, which didn't happen at Sandown last time; however, two starts ago he was held up there (1m2f, good) and stayed on well for third, and on that evidence he has potential at this new trip provided he's amenable to restraint; pedigree bodes well for soft ground. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
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. |

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. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who was disappointing last time; has reasonably solid results otherwise since dropped to Class 6, notwithstanding two short-priced defeats that followed a 1m4f win; may rebound. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
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. |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
3yo who has dropped 12lb in the weights since making his handicap debut in April but for good reason; merely fifth of six when upped to 2m at Wolverhampton (AW) recently and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

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. |

6th 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

7th 3 (14) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
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. |
