4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took a big step forward after seven months off/gelded when getting off the mark in C&D handicap 19 days ago; this son of Lope Y Ferndanez can make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |

1st 7 (12) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with a second to the reopposing Willowinghurn on 7f Musselburgh handicap debut (soft); may have more to offer in 2026 but the betting is perhaps the best guide as to whether he's likely to be fully primed for this first outing in 196 days (has been gelded). |

Third at Catterick (7f, soft) in July on third start then runner-up in maiden over this C&D (good) last time; can give another good account and could be in the mix on nursery debut. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly useful form when placed on first four starts, notably second of nine on 7.5f Beverley handicap debut (good to soft) in May; his run of consistent efforts came to an abrupt halt at Nottingham last time and cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that; shouldn't be far away if back to his best but still likely vulnerable to an improver. |
11/2 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Four placed efforts in the north reflect a consistent start to his career, good second in Beverley handicap (7.5f) most recently; related to a couple of winners for his owner and has shown enough to suggest he can emulate them; solid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 10 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Frankel colt who has shaped promisingly when placed on each of his three outings, sticking to his task well when third of 11 in 7f Catterick maiden on his return last month; capable of better now stepping into handicap company, especially over this stiffer track; big player. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
3yo who was well beaten at Chester (7.5f, soft) last time and is unproven at 1m; however, he's run several good races in defeat this year and there have been hints that today's trip will suit; posted two heavy-ground nursery wins last autumn and he's capable of playing a leading role. |

Excels on slow ground so positives to take from his close fourth on good at Musselburgh (7f) and that was after a break; likes it here as well; contender. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mixed form since winning an amateur riders' race at York in June (1m4f, good); pulled hard on his only go at 2m but also met interference, so he is better than the bare form. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Doubled her tally this season at York (1m4f) in June; largely in good nick since and travelled well for a long way when seventh of ten in 2m handicap here last time (cheekpieces fitted); firmly in the picture dropped back in trip from a handy draw. |
9/2 |

7th 12 (11) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
5-19 overall, with form on all sorts of surfaces (unraced here); in good heart until finishing nowhere in a Class 2 handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting; third at Goodwood 13 days ago was in a valuable seller but below her best form; 7lb out of handicap makes this tough in first-time headgear. |

0-9 since winning his first two starts on the AW including over 6f here, albeit he has run with credit on a number of occasions; still to conclusively prove he wants this far, though. |

6th 3 (8) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-8 since winning his first two starts but he ran well when second of five at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July and soft ground excuses a below-par effort at Haydock (1m) next time; cheekpieces go on; chance. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Similar type to Thaluna, having raced exclusively on turf and posted a record of 0-5 since handicapping; has been unable to take advantage of a declining mark; chance depends on the effects of new surface. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Successful handicap debut at Musselburgh in April when making all off 4lb lower; below that level since, including when able to lead at Lingfield last time (1m1f, good to firm) on the back of a gelding operation. |
14/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all off 6lb lower round Musselburgh in April; has not been able to lead on either run since (fluffed the start at Beverley; said to have stopped quickly at Sandown a month ago) and has since been gelded; too soon to write him off. |
6/1 |

12th 2 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Signed off last term by landing a Musselburgh maiden (7f) and reappeared at that track when making a winning handicap debut (1m, also good) in April; raised to this mark when only sixth at Beverley next time but softer conditions were a plausible excuse; not dismissed back on a sounder surface with William Buick taking over. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Newbury novice (7f, good to soft) for Richard Hannon last September but that was a shock at 125-1 and he's not gone on from that in three handicaps since, including two for new yard around 7f at the start of the summer; a three-month break needs to have had a reviving effect. |

Won a Newbury novice (7f, good to soft) for Richard Hannon last September but that was a shock at 125-1 and he's not gone on from that in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he was out the back on recent stable debut at Beverley (first run since gelded) and others are preferred. |

Much the most exposed of these and arrives here off the back of a particularly poor run; cheekpieces introduced last time are now removed. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 7f Southwell victory and comes here on the back of a solid third of four in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap in March; not out of things with cheekpieces added. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Added to his Bath maiden win when landing a 7f handicap at Southwell (Tapeta) in January; only 2lb higher today but he's been well held in his last two runs and has stamina to prove at this new trip. |
