8th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |
10/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Justified strong market support on his 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; finished behind the reopposing Liverpool Star at Southwell next time but resumed his progression when landing another 5f Newcastle handicap last month; edged out a next-time-out winner on that occasion so should still be feasibly treated after a 2lb nudge. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
11-race maiden; good run when second over C&D in January; hasn't run quite as well since, although fair run with today's headgear on for first time over C&D two weeks ago (just behind stable companion Golden Havana); each-way chance. |
6/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not seen it out a couple of times over 6f on turf latterly; run well a few times over C&D and the handicapper has given him a chance switched from blinkers to a visor; trainer also saddles Golden Havana. |
12/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-9, his best run when second to an unexposed rival over 5f at Newcastle AW in January; beaten 26l on his return to turf at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago and has slipped to a career-low mark; doesn't look ready to capitalize. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5f AW winner who has been placed over 5f and 6f on turf; beaten just 1l from the same mark at Nottingham (6f, good) but well below that level when back there over 5f (good) latest; not ruled out. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Record is only 1-18 but she got back near her best when a rallying second behind Tickettothestars here (6f, good) two weeks ago; should be unfazed by this drop back in trip and has claims off only 1lb higher than last time. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
A dual 6f winner at Newcastle over the winter and back from eight weeks off with a very good second of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap last month; up 2lb but not out of things. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 (6) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of two of his five handicap runs, more recently when beating Dream Forever at Newcastle eight weeks ago; better drawn than his old rival today and may confirm the placings despite 5lb worse terms. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No significant impact when sixth of 13 on 6f Kempton handicap debut a fortnight ago but it's possible this drop to the minimum trip could suit this free-goer. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

13,000gns yearling; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Day Of Conquest (useful 7f/1m 2yo), Day By Day (useful 5f/6f) and Alexander Ballet (5f; dam of 1m Group 1 2yo winner Hearts of Fire); makes sense to check the betting. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had three qualifying runs over 6f in August/September, improving her RPR each time; fitted with cheekpieces now dropping to 5f for her handicap debut after four months off; yard has a healthy strike-rate here and it'll interesting to see what the betting makes of her. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
She has run to a modest level in two runs in 6f events (good to firm/Polytrack) in recent weeks; shapes as though she will be seen to better effect when faced with more of a stamina test. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

32,000gns yearling; showed some ability when seventh of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; 28-1) 23 days ago; now switches to AW and she may well take a step forward. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Always behind on recent handicap debut here (5f); might have needed that outing (his first since July) but is not easily recommended on this return to 6f. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Always behind in three outings last summer but allotted a basement mark as a result and his pedigree provides the hope for better this year; Jason Hart is on stablemate The Tunguska Event but this one is still worth a look in the betting. |
9/1 |
|
8th 2 (2) |
16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Behind early in his first two races and failed to make any inroads late on; low-grade nurseries beckon. |
