18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his 2025 novice win over 1m2f but coped well with the return to 1m at Newbury (good to firm) most recently, comfortably making all and giving the impression he'll be as effective dropped back even further in trip; low-mileage 4yo who is improving and is by a sire whose biggest moment came on the straight track at Ascot, for this stable; major claims. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Windsor last June; gelded prior to finishing second on his reappearance/handicap debut 11 days ago (1m2f, good to soft), pulling clear with the winner having travelled strongly; a 3lb rise won't help but he isn't fully exposed and returning to 1m shouldn't be an issue. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win came on the AW and is 0-6 on turf, but she ran well when chasing home an in-form rival over C&D (good to firm) last month; a player from the same mark. |

2nd 10 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
7f maiden win on AW last April; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up short; well backed on last month's seasonal/stable debut (7f, AW), staying on best (fastest final-furlong sectional) for fifth in a race not run to suit; worth another crack at 1m on that evidence; may yet do better. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D last autumn; took a while to get going this season but he's been placed at with cheekpieces added in his last two runs (1m, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had a fine year in 2025 and he spent the spring in the handicapper's claws; offered more encouragement when tried in cheekpieces at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; should have a big run in him. |

3rd 6 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go. |

Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

10st 2lb |
Last year's wins were at about 1m and hasn't raced over 7f since his debut; quiet this season after a gelding operation and others appeal more; cheekpieces, in which he has form figures of 100, now return. |

Tailed off in two races since winning off 7lb lower at Newbury last August (1m; in first-time cheekpieces which are now absent); might be high enough in the ratings even if all the better for being gelded; absent since October. |

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. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Dual turf winner who scored on AW at Chelmsford (7f) in January but he's been well held back in this sphere in last two starts; now 2lb lower than for his last success but he needs to get back on track; cheekpieces reapplied. |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back. |

8th 15 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims. |

9st 12lb |
Won on good and soft ground as a 2yo; nearly added a Newmarket 1m handicap during a light second season and fast ground (for which she's been withdrawn before) was perhaps not ideal when down the field 13 days ago; better expected. |

Dual winning juvenile (maiden/nursery) who was off for 324 days before showing mixed form in three starts from September last year, just failing in Newmarket handicap (1m, good) but lesser shows either side of that; she missed two runs on account of the ground (good to firm) last month; tongue-tie now added; looks on a handy mark. |
