7th 4 (5) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed some ability with his debut fifth at Newcastle (7f) in November but he's been beaten 10l and 14l in two subsequent runs at that track; still early days but he needs a transformation on handicap debut. |

Half-brother to winners Davey Boy (7f AW 2yo; RPR 75), Muddy Lynn (6f AW; 64) and Spare Time (Hungarian 1m/10.5f); dam 1m3f AW/1m4f turf winner (75), half-sister to 5.5f/6f winner Sole Danser, out of sister to high-class miler Docksider; makes belated debut as 5yo and is probably best watched. |

9st 5lb |
7f novice win here in November but last of 22 on handicap debut at York (7f, good) five weeks ago; stones to find in this company. |

22th 4 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both races were 7f novices on Newcastle AW, showing promise in September and winning in clearcut style in November; has a useful pedigree and brings clear potential but 22-runner race is something of a baptism of fire for this handicap and turf debut. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
50-1 on C&D debut in September but he made some late headway and was only beaten 2l in third of six; that was a promising start and he should improve for the experience. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is yet to score but has shown ability across his six starts; latest third of 11 at Chester (7.5f, soft; acts on quicker) was a respectable effort and it's impossible to say he's not capable of better. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham in April and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to shorter looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Remains a maiden after 13 starts and comes with a risk attached having been very slowly away at Kempton last time; however, he was in good form previously, finishing third at Kempton (7f) then second over this C&D, and he's a leading contender if breaking on terms. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 but runner-up five times and went down by a nose and a neck following a gelding operation here two starts ago (form boosted since); this kind of trip has stretched him in the past, though; jockey Katrine Holm seeks first winner. |

2nd 4 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No wins in 11 but his first run after a gelding operation and in a tongue-tie when going down narrowly in a close finish at Kempton (7f); mark untouched so every chance with a repeat. |

Has regressed in two starts since running well on handicap debut, taking record to 0-6; however, this combination of drop in class and first-time blinkers may prompt a turnaround. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Showed some promise in small-field maiden over C&D in May but he failed to build on that when a well-held fourth at Southwell the following month; been gelded since since and he needs improvement after 137 days off. |
