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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner last November; beaten 3l when fifth of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in July but he was beaten a long way at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
7f novice winner; it wasn't too bad a run when beaten 3l on the AW last time (7f) and he's down in grade over a longer trip; not discounted. |

5th 5 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Found a weak Newcastle novice last backend and has struggled in two runs back, latterly when out of his depth in a Group 3; first-time headgear will need to make a big difference. |

Home-bred by Havana Grey out of a 7f-8.5f winner; bred more for the Flat and not an obvious candidate. |

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. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Placed eight times on the AW, but now 0-16 and not at his best lately; takes another drop in grade, but this trip probably stretches him. |

4th 2 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Returned from short break with two good 7f runs this spring; well handicapped if judged on those but his form has dipped since and he is yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 1m. |
12/1 |

8th 9 (13) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden after 14 starts; very slowly away two starts ago but otherwise has possibilities, having run most of his best races on Tapeta and was hampered in his run over C&D last time; may well be involved. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
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 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
