1st 10 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored comfortably at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and narrowly got the better of a serious battle for eight-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March on reappearance; raised 4lb but that latest start is solid form and this scopey, long-striding sort, who's well related, looks set for further improvement, including at 1m4f. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (4) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored comfortably at Bath (soft) on the second of two October outings and could do well in handicaps this season; bred to be well suited by this longer distance; enters calculations. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Competitive for a long way last week at Newmarket (1m, good; 33-1) and his RPR was respectable; considered. |

Thrice-raced gelding who may show the benefit of this switch to handicap level but is far from solid on hitherto form. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten on first two starts, more recently on seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) this month; drops back in trip here; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
100/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Reported to have lost a shoe when tailed off at Bath (1m, soft; 66-1) on his debut in October; cheekpieces go on having been off since and much better is needed over this longer trip. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October and built on that when second of eight in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) two weeks ago; this is a warm race for handicap debut but it looks as if he will stay at least 1m4f. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Showed promise with his late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October; should have more to offer over middle distances as a 3yo and he needs a close look on his return; gelded since his last run. |
4/1 |
|
3 (3) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finished just over 3l behind Pantile's Gift here three weeks ago but that was his debut and he did well given he was slowly away and looked inexperienced; improvement on the cards. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Built on the encouragement of his handicap debut and pulled 4.5l clear to win at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) eight days ago; unexposed over this trip and holds solid claims back on turf under a 6lb penalty. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Promise as a 2yo and again on his handicap debut/reappearance at Chelmsford 18 days ago (1m2f); should be sharper today and he's a leading contender. |
2/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in his first three starts, recording a peak RPR of 67 when second at Bath in October (1m, good to soft); disappointing on slower ground three weeks later (absent since) but he steps up in trip for his handicap debut and still has some potential. |

Ran a similar race to fourth-placed Heroics when both were behind Pantile's Gift here recently, having been slow to break before keeping on; better expected with that experience behind him. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Maiden; career-best performance when 1.75l second at Haydock last time (1m, good to soft); has some good AW form as well and comes into the reckoning but the step up a trip is a concern, having been below her best in only run at beyond 1m. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising third at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and runner-up in Newcastle nursery (7f, AW) next time; she hasn't shone on her two runs this spring (1m/1m2f, good/good to firm) but the drop back in trip and return to slower ground may help. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
In the frame in her four 2yo runs (7f-1m); only midfield on her seasonal debut 12 days ago but stepping up in trip could spark something extraa. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In the frame in four of her six runs since joining James Tate, keeping on well for second at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago; more to prove on turf though and others look stronger. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 14 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In the frame in four of her six starts including finishing third in both outings here (7f); probably stays this far and each-way claims again. |
16/1 |

3rd 10 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise when beating one on her handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m) 19 days ago; she needs to bounce back. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed after only four runs but was unable to justify prominence in betting when down the field on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW); needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Cut little ice in a trio of novices (around 1m) last autumn; needs this switch to handicaps/longer trip to spark major improvement. |

8 (10) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Showed more here last time (1m, good to soft) but was still well held and appeals as one for nurseries. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Big step forward on handicap debut when scoring at Nottingham (1m, good) last month; set a steady pace when trying 1m2f at Goodwood (good) three weeks ago, resulting in a creditable fourth of seven but she clearly needs to build on that. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ulysses filly who took a big step forward on her handicap debut when scoring at Nottingham (1m) last month; showed a good attitude there, so she's not taken lightly despite a 5lb weights rise. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Close second in a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) in December and things didn't go her way from wide draw at Wolverhampton later that month; Hollie Doyle is now booked on handicap debut and she could resume her progress back from a break; needs a close look in market. |

9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at the tenth attempt with an emphatic success at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) 13 days ago; 7lb rise wouldn't stop her if in the same mood, but she could probably do with rain. |
6/4 |
|
1st 10 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown most of her form at 7f-1m; one of the most exposed contenders, being 0-9, and has something to prove back up in distance to boot. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed maiden who's still to finish placed after eight starts; better off back into handicap company after four months off but is some way down the pecking order. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
She's raced three times (7f-8.4f) and her most promising effort came when keeping on for third of five over 7f here last October on debut; this Ulysses filly could improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut and is one to watch in the betting. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Finished well for third of five on 7f Redcar debut (good to soft) last October but form is nothing specials and she was well beaten at Bath later in the month. |
28/1 |
|
11 (5) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Made a nice debut when also hooded at Redcar (7f, good to soft), finishing well for third; the runner-up won a decent race there earlier this week; bred to stay 1m+; respected. |
