19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; runner-up on quick ground at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) last August and he bolted up when a short-priced favourite in a maiden at Wolverhampton in November; below his best on his final start last year and left the impression his first start for 178 days was needed when behind Havana Smile at Sandown (first start since being gelded) 22 days ago. |

All starts at 5f; fast turf no problem when runner-up at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) in August and he bolted up in Wolverhampton maiden in November having previously gone quite close on handicap debut at Southwell (also AW); underwhelmed on final start of last term but subsequently gelded and he's in the right hands to progress this season. |

9st 10lb |
Odds-on when winning a C&D maiden on her second 2yo start (made debut in the Group 2 Queen Mary); she has run some sound races in defeat this year, including when third of six at Nottingham on her return to sprinting last month; not discounted. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Often highly tried last year; generally consistent in handicaps this season, off a sliding mark, but finding the right trip seems to be an issue, with her going up from 1m to 1m2f last time, and now dropping to 6f; blinkers are given a second try. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Built on promising debut (6f, good) in August when landing Wolverhampton novice (Tapeta) three weeks later; back in that form when third in course handicap (also 5f) on final start for George Scott in October and sold for 17,000gns five days later; unexposed, particularly at this trip, and impossible to rule out on this stable/seasonal debut. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Successful on her first two starts for Ruth Carr (including over C&D) in the summer; well held on all three subsequent outings however, beating just one at Doncaster (5f) 13 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win came at odds-on in a 5.5f maiden at Bath (firm) in July 2025; form this year has been inconsistent, last of seven at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) latest; 2lb lower dropping into a Class 6, from the widest draw; others preferred. |

9st 3lb |
Won a Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) for William Haggas last August; has mixed record since but she got back near her best when third at Newcastle (6f, AW) in May; 1lb lower after a short break and she's a player if she can back that up. |

Ex-Haggas filly who was said to have been unsuited by rain-softened ground when well below market expectations last time (taken out at Doncaster over the weekend after the going eased); should do better. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Best efforts have come over 5f on Tapeta and he's now 2lb below the mark off which he won a C&D nursery last winter thanks to a couple of below-par runs on turf; does need to bounce back, though, following a short layoff. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Didn't run badly at Windsor in May but that run is sandwiched by two lesser turf runs; connections now turn to a tongue tie and cheekpieces. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Held since winning a couple of nurseries on Tapeta last backend, latterly off 3lb lower; looked to find the sixth furlong beyond him last time but he has to prove this mark is within range on turf. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries on turf in July (the second in a match) and best subsequent effort when promoted to third over C&D last month; finished last of eight at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, though, and is already due another 3lb drop. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a nursery on his turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in July with first-time visor (retained since) and followed up in a match at Bath (5f, firm) seven days later; has not been in the same form in his three starts since and still to prove he is as effective on AW. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Had plausible excuses in Class 5 the last twice, hindered by wide trip back on AW latest; may be better judged on July turf wins that give him a 2-2 record in Class 6; possibilities returned to this level. |

Big prices and well held in three starts over 5f on turf; worth a mark check now making his nursery/AW debut in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Land Force colt hinted at promise when a debut sixth in 5f Sandown maiden but he beat just one in similar event there 11 days ago; he has something to prove now. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Some headway in the closing stages on his C&D debut five weeks ago (50-1) but never the slightest threat to the principals; can do better at some point but he'll need a good step forward to win here. |
