8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; flopped behind Thunder Call at York eight weeks ago; that run casts a shadow but he still has low mileage and could well rebound. |

19th 5 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on the first of his three 2yo starts and back on the scoresheet on his handicap/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; 4lb higher in a deeper race today but he's unexposed and his illustrious pedigree hints that he could still have more to offer. |

Won on debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; finished last in Group 2 next time and runner-up in Redcar novice (6f, good) last November when last seen; gelded since; not obviously well treated off opening mark but his pedigree provides hope that he'll have more to offer. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (6f, AW) last December and he's been placed there in three of his last four runs including when runner-up over 5f last week; on same mark here but his best efforts have been on Tapeta and he's been well held in last four turf runs; some risks attached. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Winner over 6f here in December; best runs since have been here, including neck second to Houndhill over C&D in May; a possible. |

Won a 6f nursery course nursery in December and also a close second over C&D last month (first run since being gelded); not so good on turf since but better can be expected back on AW. |

Won a six-runner C&D handicap early last month on only run at 5f; well beaten stepped back up to 6f on turf next time; could go well. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dropped to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago and made all to register his first success; has a 4lb rise to overcome in a deeper race but he should be fine at 6f and is unexposed. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |

Has slipped back into modest mode since winning over 6f at Carlisle in May and has stamina to prove over this far. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Breakthrough Carlisle handicap success in May has been flanked by three rather less auspicious efforts, similarly over 6f on good; only one attempt at 5f so far (Tapeta novice stakes at huge odds) but dam and (to Listed level) granddam both scored at this trip. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Modest 3yo who has a peak RPR of 48; managed to open his account in Carlisle event (6f) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form last time; seems to have limitations. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made it 2-5 on AW when beating Brave Traveller at Newcastle (5f) last Friday; 2lb lower back on turf but he's 0-7 in this sphere and has form figures of 68008 on grass this season; not hard to have reservations. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Placed in his first two handicaps and he made no mistake back from a break at Ayr (1m, good to soft) nine days ago; the forecast rain won't hurt his chance and he still has time on his side; one to be interested in under a penalty. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finished well to go close on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and he backed that up with a creditable third at Musselburgh (1m, good); returns after 120 days off but he's still unexposed and that latest form has been well advertised by the runner-up since; respected. |

Made all to win a 6f handicap at Ripon last month; creditable fifth at Doncaster 17 days later; well drawn to attack and should be quick enough for 5f; respected. |
10/1 |

5th 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Struck at the second time of asking in handicaps when making all under Lewis Chalkley at Ripon (6f, good) 17 days ago; his three closest pursuers haven't done much for the form since but he was comfortably on top and his unexposed profile provides the hope for better again. |

1st 5 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Placed in one of his seven outings and finished midfield over this C&D in June; disappointed in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) at Ayr (7f, soft) in June and now returns to 6f having been dropped another 3lb. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Placed just once from six outings and his best efforts so far have come on the AW; below par at Thirsk two weeks ago; needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift. |
14/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-5 but runner-up in a novice at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November; midfield finish on handicap debut at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and ran to a similar level there (7f) four weeks ago; drops back in trip on this return to turf. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
All five starts on good/good to firm; made it 2-2 with 7f Listed win at Newmarket in May and has shaped in 7f/1m Group 3 races on his last two starts (including here) as though this new trip could be a good fit; not discounted in first-time tongue-tie; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ran below expectations when a warm order for the Jersey at Royal Ascot (2-2 previously) but bounced back with a creditable effort against his elders in 7f Group 3 at York a week later, while leaving the impression he'll be suited by this step up to 1m combined with first-time headgear; remains of interest, with further progress still plausible. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Ran below expectations when a warm order for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot last Saturday but was drawn a bit higher than ideal, the way the race panned out, and finishing sixth of 16 wasn't a total disaster; 2-2 previously, including 7f Listed win at Newmarket, and can be treated as retaining potential; respected in receipt of 9lb from his elders. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Shaped with a deal of promise on his first run at beyond sprint trips/handicap debut at Southwell three weeks ago, when not helped by the way the race panned out; will have learned more again from that and should go well. |

3rd 10 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Solid debut when dead-heating for second at Redcar last November (6f) and probably showed similar form when a beaten favourite at Newcastle (5f); just about sets the standard here. |

11st 5lb |
Beat a previous winner when scoring on hurdle debut at Market Rasen in June and was not discredited when odds-on second under penalty at Uttoxeter (also 2m, good; third won comfortably on Friday) last month; untested on ground slower than good; leading contender. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
After a gelding operation he won two 1m2f handicaps and comfortably accounted for three rivals on his hurdling debut; suffered early interference when only fifth in his latest Flat run; in good nick but the penalty asks something of him. |

Record of 3-3 since being gelded includes 1m2f wins at Ripon/Beverley that represent solid form and suggest he'll be suited by 1m4f; transferred the ability to hurdles last time; respected with further improvement plausible. |
