6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
All three turf races as 2yo were on soft or heavy, making most and rallying stoutly to win a maiden at Nottingham (1m) on final outing; gelded since; seemingly no doubt that he will still be suited by 1m2f+ and nothing to prove if the ground is testing; one to note on seasonal/handicap debut. |

9st 2lb |
Pretty useful form when second in a novice at Salisbury (1m, heavy) on second start, when he beat all bar the market leader and they were clear of a subsequent scorer; close third of five when 5-6 at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on latest outing was fairly lacklustre in comparison, but he's very much the one to beat if reverting to his Salisbury form. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Promise when placed in both starts last year (good to soft and soft) but it was much his best effort when cheekpieces and/or AW sparked a win in Kempton novice (7f) 17 days ago; handicapper didn't miss that but still warrants plenty of respect on his debut in this sphere. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two promising runs as a juvenile, at 7f and about 1m, but they were on good to soft and soft ground and he may have been feeling the good to firm surface when hanging under pressure on his Leicester return; should be capable of much better; cheekpieces fitted. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Displayed plenty of promise when placed in 7f Newbury novice and 1m Nottingham maiden last autumn, travelling strongly long way when runner-up on latter occasion; gelded since; holds leading claims with better to come. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort when third on 1m4f Newmarket handicap debut (good) 12 days ago, staying on in a style which suggests there could be more to come as his stamina is drawn out. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Showed promise in a couple of maidens (around 1m) last October; steps up in trip on AW debut but may be a longer-term project; Birgham Dub looks the trainer's main hope. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Cost 220,000gns as a yearling; both starts at Nottingham, latest six weeks ago (1m2f, good) when building on his 2yo effort (1m) and scoring comfortably; this Irish Derby entry looks likely to improve further; respected under 7lb penalty. |
7/4 |

1st 4 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Got tired in the final furlong when fourth of nine in an 8.3f maiden (soft) here in October, but it was still an encouraging start to his career; the longer trip should suit and this Irish Derby entrant is open to plenty of improvement this year. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (5) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

82,000gns foal, 220,000gns yearling by New Bay; fifth foal; half-brother to winners Denim And Diamonds (12.3f; RPR 90) and Ave Maria (French 6f); dam 7f 2yo/1m Listed winner (stayed 1m4f; 106), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Melody Of Love; stable without a 2yo win this season. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent maiden but has been favourite three times; ran his best race last time when runner-up at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; steps up in trip and should not be far away. |
11/10 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still seeking breakthrough (0-6), going closest when third at Nottingham (8.5f, good; 4-1 favourite) in April; soft ground given as the reason for a less-convincing effort at Lingfield (1m1f; fourth of seven, 5-2 favourite) latest. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Third around 1m at Nottingham (good) and Yarmouth (good to firm) switched to handicaps this spring; below the level of those efforts on soft ground last year but it was his debut; has a useful pedigree and too soon to suggest he's reached his limit. |

Modest in three starts over 1m on turf/AW late last year, but may improve now upped in trip for his handicap debut after six months off; worth a market check. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
9-1, raced freely and disputed lead over 6f when just over 4l sixth of nine in novice at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) five weeks ago; should improve but that was modest form and a lot better is surely required. |

Suffered a heavy defeat (well behind A Taste Of Glory) on Kempton AW but shaped as if this combination of a longer trip and fitting of headgear may prove beneficial. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Unplaced all six Flat runs for Joseph Parr, showing no significant promise (including off lowly marks); changed hands for 1,000gns in May; cheekpieces removed after one use; best watched on stable/hurdle debut. |
66/1 |

10th 10 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Yet to offer much in five outings, a never-dangerous sixth in 9.5f handicap here 17 days ago; cheekpieces go on now. |
40/1 |

6th 8 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Struggled in his three 2yo runs and was always behind on handicap debut over C&D (weak 7-1 shot) last month; may have needed that run but he needs to show a lot more this time. |
