30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Three wins at 7f and 1m (on this track; good to soft) but topped those efforts when a running-on close third, just behind Pandemonium over C&D (good; same terms) this month; should have more options now he's shown he stays this far; solid chance for last year's winning yard. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has done well for one who opened his account in a seller, bagging his second handicap over 1m here in April; however, progress has stalled, markedly so in his last two races (competitive ones admittedly). |
9/2 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Three-time winner at 7f-1m and steadily progressive until a below-par effort at Chester (7.5f) most recently; may bounce back but this is no easy task off current mark in such a competitive affair. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Last season's novice win came on good to firm (7.5f); this year's defeats at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft; ran well) and Newmarket (good to firm; not so well from the front) mark him down as an unlikely winner of this. |
50/1 |

7th 1 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last July on second start then well beaten in Group 2 at Goodwood (7f, good) later that month; reappeared with close second of six in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago but it's likely he needs a much bigger run in this hot contest. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 3yo; Newmarket winner for previous yard and ran well at Musselburgh on stable/seasonal debut; took a step backwards last time so needs to rebound. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Pulled up on his final run for Godolphin but his first two efforts read well; joined current yard for 25,000gns and kept on takingly for third behind Strength Of Spirit over 1m here in April (handicap debut); open to improvement. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won 7f 2yo maiden here last June on sole previous course visit and running well in defeat in handicaps this year, most recently third at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) when making the running; he's one to consider. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
In frame all three runs this year, although he didn't go with much fluency when fourth of six at Musselburgh (1m; wore cheekpieces) on latest; more required against some unexposed rivals. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Plenty of promise on his final two starts as a juvenile and he'd been gelded when reappearing with Kempton novice win (7f, AW) in February; suffered from a lack of daylight but still only beaten 2l on his handicap debut (good to soft) in April and he was just pegged at Newmarket (again 1m, good to firm) six weeks ago; likely capable of better again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Went close in two fast-ground novice races last summer and returned with a novice win at Kempton (7f, AW) in February; 15-8 favourite and denied a clear run when 2l fifth of six on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago; retains potential and is not ruled out but he lost places close home once in the clear at Musselburgh and has to raise his game. |
9/2 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Consistent in three runs since debut, gaining a deserved first success at Kempton (7f) in February; the runner-up that day won in clearcut style next time; should be at least as good over 1m and remains unexposed; interesting candidate on handicap debut. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a turf claimer in Ireland and landed two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections at the start of 2026; has found life harder since but in some good 3yo only races and latest fifth of ten at Sandown (7f, good) in this headgear combination was creditable; respected taking on his elders. |

5th 3 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won a turf claimer in Ireland and has added two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections; however, has failed to beat a rival in his last three races and a tongue-tie joins his regular hood; risky. |
20/1 |
|
12th 7 (13) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Turf winner (claimer) in Ireland but has shown better RPRs on AW for new stable; failed to transfer the form back to this sphere latest start, finishing last of six at Musselburgh; others preferred. |
20/1 |
