19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Stepped forward from his reappearance over 7f when dropped to this trip at Sandown (good) 22 days ago, coming through against the rail to gain his first success; up 5lb but that was just his second try over 5f, and there could be more to come. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Sole start at 5f came at this track and it was his best effort too, when second of nine in a maiden (good) in August; last two runs were at 7f and didn't scream he's desperate for this return to 5f; not handicapped out of things, though. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Showed fair form in four runs at 2yrs, signing off with a good fourth in 7f Epsom nursery in September; since gelded and can't be discounted on his seasonal return. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; played up beforehand and withdrawn from an intended engagement at York two weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and she could do better yet. |
11/4 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; perhaps best not to take latest effort literally but in going back up just 1lb the assessor hasn't overreacted; again has frame possibilities. |
7/1 |
|
31 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Reserve; she has built on her 2yo form in two runs this season, finishing third in a handicap and a Listed race (not clear run) at Sandown (both 5f, good); wouldn't be out of this if getting a run; hood tried for the first time. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In the placings on all five starts on a variety of surfaces as a juvenile (6f/7f) and he deservedly made the breakthrough on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; respectable fifth of 14 at Hamilton on his recent handicap debut and this experiment at 5f looks worth a go. |
6/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Placed on all his five runs at 2yrs before (gelded) getting off the mark in 6f Newcastle maiden on his return last month; he must enter calculations back in handicap company. |

1st 3 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

The most experienced of these and has been placed on all five starts at 6f and 7f; has been gelded since his last run in October and he should go close. |

9st 9lb |
Front-runner; runner-up on quick ground at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) last August and he bolted up when a short-priced favourite in a maiden at Wolverhampton in November; below his best on his final start last year and left the impression his first start for 178 days was needed when behind Havana Smile at Sandown (first start since being gelded) 22 days ago. |
9/2 |

5th 7 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All starts at 5f; fast turf no problem when runner-up at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) in August and he bolted up in Wolverhampton maiden in November having previously gone quite close on handicap debut at Southwell (also AW); underwhelmed on final start of last term but subsequently gelded and he's in the right hands to progress this season. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise as a juvenile when third in a Listed contest at Sandown (5f, good) last July before winning her maiden; should be better for her reappearance run when sixth of eight back at Sandown (5f, good) and would go close at her best. |
3/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved in three consecutive C&D appearances last summer, finishing third of seven in Listed event before a commanding maiden win (also good; made all) in July; was cast in her box the night before an August assignment after which her trainer recently reported she was never really right; that stable tour also offered hope she's back in a good place and can go well on this handicap debut/reappearance. |
7/1 |

9th 14 (10) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten when 40-1 for the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster (5f, good) four weeks ago; better could have been expected but she drops back down in grade today and an each-way case can be made on her earlier form, including a staying-on Listed third at Sandown (5f, good) in July. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Catterick last August but he's 0-6 in handicaps this year and has generally underperformed; second in first-time headgear off this reduced mark at Kempton (6f, AW) on latest outing but markedly better is needed, even in this small field. |

2nd 4 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Catterick last summer but he's been expensive to follow in handicaps this year; now 9lb lower than for his opening mark but he's been well held in last three runs and needs blinkers to make a difference. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two 2yo wins (good to firm/good to soft) including 5f nursery at Haydock on final juvenile start, and reappeared with near-miss at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); excuses on both starts since, drawn wide at Chester then helping set the race up for the closers at Sandown; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Landed Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but better form after wind surgery when bagging Haydock handicap (5f, good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and ran well for second (5f, AW; winner on the middle leg of a hat-trick) on his reappearance, while latest start from a wide stall at Chester can be written off; needs considering. |
9/2 |
|
11th 3 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice as a 2yo, notably a 5f nursery (good to soft) at Haydock in September; gelded afterwards; made a promising seasonal return at Wolverhampton in March, narrowly failing to reel in one who has since boosted the form; appeals as being ahead of his mark, despite a 2lb rise for Wolverhampton, but stall 12 isn't ideal. |
