28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Listed win in Germany in October 2024 and went close at Sandown and Newbury last term; however, after a disappointing October he made it 0-10 for the season and this is a tough race in which to try to break his British duck. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Smart on the continent, including on testing ground; 0-9 for Jamie Osborne but he has run some good races, including a near miss over C&D last month; not so good at Ascot since but returning to Class 3 will be in his favour. |
12/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Smart on the continent; some notable form in eight defeats for this yard, last time going down narrowly in a Class 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft; second-time cheekpieces); however, he was behind four of these here the time before. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |
4/1 |

4th 9 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Not troubled the judge this season but hasn't been running badly, last time behind Native Warrior on the AW in late June; a triple winner on ground softer than good so connections have no doubt been waiting for some rain; worth considering. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Patchy overall record; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Newbury two weeks ago but he was beaten over 5l at the finish; others are stronger. |

8th 3 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy defeats on his last three starts, including his Kempton reappearance three weeks ago; he's on a fair mark on the pick of his efforts though and this track does seem to suit him well; Tom Marquand is a notable booking for the stable (his nine rides for Stan Moore have yielded two wins, a second, three thirds and two fourths); lively outsider. |

10st 1lb |
Four wins over 7f/1m, two on the AW; fair third at Newmarket in April (1m, good) but not so good since; acts on any ground although withdrawn on account of the going (officially good to firm) last time. |
7/1 |

5th 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Four wins split between turf and AW; his last success was off this mark at Lingfield in December but he has a mixed record since and was a well-held fourth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; others preferred. |

10st 2lb |
Won over 6f at Haydock in May 2025 (good) and a couple of fair runs over 7f after that; acts on fast ground but he lacks a recent run (has been off since October). |
8/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 6lb lower (only seven ran); he has progressed for his new stable this year, winning at Haydock in May and finishing second off this mark back at Haydock in August; not so good on soft ground on his last two starts; type to bounce back. |
10/1 |

25 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Flits between 6f and 7f with aplomb; 5lb higher than for his Haydock win in May (6f, good) though and not sure where the requisite improvement is coming from. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |
|
6 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |
|
17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark in a Chelmsford novice (1m, AW) in December; has excuses for his last two defeats as he pulled too hard at Newcastle in February and missed the break at Kempton last time; tongue-tie returns to combine with blinkers and not out of this if things pan out for him. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won a novice and was beaten a head in a handicap in two starts at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) around New Year; not so good at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last time but of interest back on Polytrack with blinkers reapplied. |

8th 5 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark. |
7/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Won a maiden over 1m at two but all four wins since have been over shorter, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; too free at York (7f) 11 days ago and he'll need to settle better now returned to this trip with the hood back on (worn once in 2023). |

In fine form last spring, winning three times including over C&D; cheekpieces returned at Goodwood last month and he recorded a narrow soft-ground success; 2lb rise shouldn't handicap him out of things and faster ground should be beneficial. |

Novice winner for previous yard; 0-6 for current stable but ran encouragingly, despite being left with plenty to do, in last two starts; caught the attention of the stewards at Ffos Las (1m) latest; interesting with Oisin Murphy up for first time, assuming the cards drop right. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
