18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is 3-10; gelded prior to reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW; looked better than ever) and had an excuse (raced in unfavoured group) when never landing a blow in the Victoria Cup over C&D since; could go well, provided this race pans out better. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to justifying favouritism with 1l success at Kempton (7f) on AW/seasonal debut, opening his handicap account and taking overall record to 3-9; this Wathnan Racing runner may well be capable of further improvement; ties in closely with Mudbir on Sandown running last July; major contender. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Good efforts in 7f handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood last July; had excuses at Doncaster when last seen; been gelded since; on a good mark but this free-going sort could do with settling better. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he ran respectably over C&D most recently (final start for Charles Hills) and ties in with unexposed Raammee on that form; possibilities off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear; remains with same owner. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He needs to produce more than he's managed back on turf on his last two starts but prior to those he was a good second at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he won on grass at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last May; capable of having a say if getting back to his best. |
11/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent of late on the AW, runner-up at Kempton in October and March, but his turf efforts have been more up and down; never better than midfield in Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago and only 1lb lower today. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
He's 3lb out of the handicap and he wasn't quite at his best last time; however, he kicked off his campaign with two good runs in defeat and there remains a suspicion he may yet have a bigger performance in him. |
8/1 |
|
7th 12 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Placed on all six handicap starts, most recently second of six over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago when twice suffering interference from the winner in the closing stages; every chance he'll be bang there. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Placed on all four handicap starts last year (7f/6f, good to firm/good), on the final occasion keeping on for 1l third here when the drop back to 6f looked against him; returned with solid third at Kempton (7f, AW) in March; major player for trainer who has won two of the last four runnings. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four course wins over 7f; went close at that trip last month and a subsequent turf defeat isn't the run to judge him on; has had only one attempt at 1m and he appeared to stay; career best needed to win, though. |
8/1 |

12th 9 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 4-9 in AW handicaps when winning at Kempton (7f) last month and went close there next time (7f); key player if transferring his form back to grass; well beaten here on sole turf start but that was his debut back in September 2024. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All of his four wins have been over C&D and latest was from the front in 14-runner race (7-2 favourite) two weeks ago; up 4lb but that was a personal best last time and he should make another bold bid; respected. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style. |

4th 15 (16) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor (good) win in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; respectable efforts on both starts last month and Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

He has turned in a string of good efforts since winning at Windsor last September; close second off this mark at Newcastle on New Year's Day (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip. |
18/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf. |

Only seen twice since winning a 1m fillies' novice as a 2yo (Polytrack), facing a stiff task on the first occasion and then not seen to best effect over 7f nine weeks ago; not fully exposed. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won on second and final 2yo start (1m, AW); seen only twice since but had a very tough task in attempting to give weight to a subsequent big improver at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last May and wasn't seen to best advantage over 7f on Kempton AW in March; could well play a part back at 1m. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

1m win here on her second 2yo start; couldn't cope with Blue Bolt in a Windsor novice last May but that rival was getting 6lb and ended 2025 with a BHA rating of 110 so it was a tough task; she has another absence to defy but brings potential to her handicap debut. |

Down the field in Dubai on his stable debut in December (1m1f, good to firm); can go well fresh so a 106-day absence no bad thing; hasn't run over 7f since his debut but he lurks on a dangerous mark and new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |

Four starts at 1m this term have yielded good seconds in competitive York handicaps but his two goes over C&D don't match them; that's enough to put him down the pecking order. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Novice winner for previous yard; 0-6 for current stable but ran encouragingly, despite being left with plenty to do, in last two starts; caught the attention of the stewards at Ffos Las (1m) latest; interesting with Oisin Murphy up for first time, assuming the cards drop right. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Looked to find this trip beyond him last month but worth another try over it on latest Chepstow evidence (7f, soft); on a workable mark again now, having missed a lot of last year for Ralph Beckett. |

3rd 8 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

A fair 7f scorer for Ralph Beckett in 2024; yet to match that form for his current yard, though not disgraced when seventh in 1m Windsor handicap 12 days ago; possibilities from a falling mark. |
