3rd 14 (8) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Steadily progressive on turf and AW; prevailed at Wolverhampton (7f) on seasonal debut, making it three wins from his last six races; up only another 2lb and there's the possibility of further improvement; respected. |

1st 8 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Steadily progressive on turf, winning three times; good second at Yarmouth (7f) when last seen; may continue to improve this term; has bits of encouraging AW form; commands respect. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two handicap wins at Brighton (7f, good to firm and 6f, good) this summer; only sixth at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month but he wasn't beaten far and that was a hot race; doubt he has reached his ceiling just yet. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |
4/1 |
|
8th 20 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Best form over 7f, including second-place finishes on Wolverhampton AW this year; faded into midfield, having raced freely, when joint-favourite for this contest 12 months ago; not crying out for return to 1m. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Made all in very valuable auction race as a juvenile but winless since taking Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy six weeks later; looked to be rediscovering his level when third on AW in March and it was a solid fifth of 18 behind Royal Velvet (declared for preceding Group 3) at Newmarket (7f, good) last time; if the stands' rail proves the place to be this could be the day to revert to forcing tactics; interesting. |
13/2 |

5th 17 (18) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Yet to match his 2yo best (included big sales race and Listed wins) but he's only had eight subsequent starts and latest third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) four weeks ago was a firm step back in the right direction; same mark and there's a suspicion he could be on the way back; player if so. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Seen only twice since 2024 but ran with promise over 6f at Wolverhampton (AW debut) last time, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; well handicapped on best turf form, which features two notable wins as a 2yo; interesting. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Produced a strong finish to win a competitive 7f handicap here as a 3yo; first win since when making a successful stable debut at Chelmsford in January (7f); in and out since but he's on a winning mark and the ability is there if things pan out favourably. |
14/1 |

13th 2 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly useful handicapper whose AW form this year for new yard features a 7f success in January and a creditable effort last time; effective on turf in the past but seems weighted to the hilt back in this sphere. |
16/1 |

4th 11 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Won with a bit in hand at Chelmsford (7f) on stable/seasonal debut; out of the money in two starts since but can't be written off yet; drops back in grade (attempted Class 2 latest). |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Spectacular late run to land valuable auction race (6f, good to soft) in October 2024 is starting to fade from the memory but he won his first race since when taking a Wolverhampton handicap in November; narrow defeat at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in February was up with his best form and respectable efforts on last two starts; not dismissed back on turf. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins and one on Tapeta (unraced here); posted career-best RPR when going down narrowly on Newcastle reappearance and got little luck in running when under 3l away at Wolverhampton; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
On a long losing run but he's twice gone close on AW this year (7f/1m) and fared best of the eight-strong centre group when fifth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
On a lengthy losing run but he's knocking firmly at the door, just edged out in a first-time tongue-strap at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; goes well at Newmarket and makes plenty of each-way appeal. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
From a wide draw he did plenty of early running to get his position at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago and that softened him up in the finish; without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Has shown most of his AW form at Kempton but ran creditably at Southwell most recently; makes Wolverhampton debut with a tongue-tie replacing usual hood; brings uncertainty. |

3rd 4 (1) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with two good placed efforts at Kempton; not at the same level at Lingfield last month and he has a bit more to prove on Tapteta. |

6th 2 (8) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Scored at Kempton (7f) in April and right back on song of late, edged out only very late on when runner-up in similar event there last month; must enter calculations despite a 2lb weights rise. |

9st 10lb |
Her last four wins have come at this track, with two of them (7f/1m) last month; drawn wide when down the field at Chester two weeks ago but she has fared better on that front today; big run on the cards. |
4/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |

Last four wins at Musselburgh, including two last month, latterly producing a career-best performance to see off ten rivals over 1m on good; runner-up on only Chester visit; a further 4lb rise demands even more but can't rule out in her current mood. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

None too consistent for current stable and his best efforts in Britain have been on AW; ideally suited by testing ground when trained in France so rain would aid his cause. |

9th 6 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Gained sole British success in Kempton event in October off 3lb higher; inconsistent otherwise and is by no means certain to back up latest effort (ran respectably). |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |
