2nd 9 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb. |

1st 10 (6) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Record in his first five handicaps read 21121, but finished over 7l behind Euphonia at Haydock (7f, soft) last month; may have found the ground too testing and now 10lb better off, but he still has work to do. |
7/1 |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race). |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 6f winner at 2yrs; yet to add to his tally this season but has advanced his form, runner-up at York before a good C&D fourth last time out; firmly in the picture again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from 11 starts but he hit a personal best when going close in a 20-runner handicap at York (7f, good) last month; the first three pulled clear in that race and he's strongly respected off only 1lb higher. |
8/1 |

2nd 14 (19) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal. |

5th 12 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
0-13 and he hasn't suggested he's about to cash in on a reduced mark, including when sixth of ten at Carlisle (7f) last Thursday; he's never gone closer than when a neck second at Musselburgh last August on his sole start at 5f, however, which could be a straw to clutch to. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
12-race maiden; last of eight at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago when cheekpieces (now absent) were tried; others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent 11-race maiden who produced one of his lesser efforts at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to bounce back with cheekpieces added. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Probably started handicap life on a demanding mark and he'd dropped 10lb before going down by just under 2l when fifth of 15 at Doncaster (7f, good) in first-time blinkers on latest outing; hit the front over 1f out that day but wandered under pressure; needs to see it out better. |
6/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has broadly stagnated this year and finished behind Norfolk Blue at Windsor (1m) most recently; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive, exposed maiden who wasn't best suited by the way things unfolded behind Legacy Rock over C&D last time; 5lb better off with the winner, which gives him claims, but he didn't conclusively prove his stamina that day. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries on the AW (6f/7f) last autumn, but the handicapper has been in charge since; still 6lb above her last winning mark and has a bit to prove back on turf with cheekpieces fitted. |
14/1 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well treated when entering nursery company last autumn, twice winning easily (6f-7f); tougher going off her revised mark this spring but her latest effort, and the dam's side of her pedigree, gives hope this longer trip will be within range. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with nursery wins at Southwell (6f) and Lingfield (7f); shaped as if the run was needed after five months off when seventh at Kempton (7f) last month and can get back on track here. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who went close when dropped back to 6f at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month and also ran well when fourth at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; might be better by a stiffer 6f than this but could have a say if aided by refitted cheekpieces. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) in the second of his two 2yo runs; made a low-key start in handicaps this spring but he resumed his progress back at 6f when going close at Windsor (good to soft) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's a big player if he can build on that last run. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 11 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Some promise on 6f debut at Ascot (soft) and didn't need to come on a ton to win a 7f Chelmsford AW novice next time; has not looked ahead of his mark in two AW handicaps this year but perhaps he'll do better back at 6f on soft turf. |
