12th 12 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Signed off for the Crisfords with a 1m6f win on the AW in a Class 4 handicap, in first-time blinkers; well held over 2m here on yard debut (tried cheekpieces) and this is highly ambitious on all the figures. |
150/1 |
|
9th 1 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Unplaced both turf starts and both 2m races; inconsistent on AW but took advantage of career-low mark to score by a neck over 1m6f in January on final start for the Crisfords; sported first-time blinkers that day and sold for 31,000gns the following month; cheekpieces are today's headgear and he has something to prove back on turf at 2m. |
9/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His first three attempts on AW were encouraging but he has been disappointing over 2m on his last two runs (visored latest); drops back in trip with blinkers given a go; well treated if back to his best. |

2nd 3 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; seconds were becoming a habit before the cheekpieces went on and he won at Southwell (1m6f, AW), Ripon (2m, good) and Pontefract (2m1f, good to soft) on last three outings; latest (after five days off) saw him assert by about 4l in the final 1f and the four-timer may well be beckoning despite 5lb rise. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for a step up in trip and then cheekpieces, getting off the mark at Southwell (1m6f) last month and following up at Ripon on Sunday (2m, good); escapes a penalty for that win and today's further rise in distance could spark additional progress; possible he could do with the ground drying out a bit but he's on the up and should make a bold bid to complete his hat-trick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up in four of his first five handicaps before finally cracking it in a four-runner race at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; that was in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but by just a nose, leading on the post; stays 2m and he's a player if transferring this year's improvement back to turf. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seven-race maiden for the Gosdens but suffered a few near misses at up to 1m6f; made a quiet stable debut on the Flat (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was in a strong handicap at York; could make a hurdler. |
9/4 |
|
14th 12 (11) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Second or third every time in September-January in his seven races for the Gosdens, most AW; tried as far as 1m6f and in two forms of headgear; sold for 65,000gns in February and has now had wind surgery and has his tongue tied first time; competitive mark in theory but clearly questions to answer. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Chased home a better-fancied stablemate (who is now BHA rated 88) on his Kempton debut last September and then bumped into another smart sort at Ascot on his second run; his four subsequent defeats have come at odds of 30-100 (again behind a progressive rival), Evs, 8-11 and 6-4 and although he should stay this longer trip well, the fact more new headgear is tried suggests he has his quirks; still of interest on handicap debut. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; his best recent form is on the AW though. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner in the autumn and was a close third at Southwell (1m4f) on his penultimate run in January; left the Muir/Grassick stable for 17,000gns the following month; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his last win and he needs a close look for new yard; tongue-tie reapplied. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Successful in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last autumn and there have been some good runs in defeat since, including over 1m4f here 17 days ago; well positioned in that steadily run race and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
4/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden; two respectable efforts on soft at about 1m across August and September but he was beaten a long way a fortnight ago and that was the third time this season he's suffered a heavy defeat on good ground; cheekpieces removed for this AW debut. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Quite lightly raced since 2023 (when a fairly useful 1m6f scorer) but he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in 1m4f Southwell handicap two weeks ago, doing best of those coming off a steady pace; very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |
7/2 |

5th 1 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Rated a good bit higher in the past but has lost his way and was never involved here three weeks ago when behind Pleasant Man. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has been a useful handicapper in his time but he was pulled up lame at Newbury in August and then tailed off over 2m here last month; tumbling down the weights but comes with risk attached. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat. |
10/1 |
|
7 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |
5/2 |
|
3 |
5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |
