2nd 2 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded after last season's run; highly unlikely that the 1-8 favourite gave his running when this son of Gleneagles beat him at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) but he's a well-bred improver and unexposed. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded since showing promise with third-place finish at Beverley (8.5f, soft) where he was the sole newcomer in a field of eight; open to progress and is one of the better contenders. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Showed his autumn form over 7f on soft/good to soft; well held in the Horris Hill when bidding to take his record to 3-3; however, gained his wins in good style and may have more to offer back down in class. |
13/2 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Cost 375,000gns as a yearling; two from two, namely wins over 7f at Yarmouth (soft; readily) and Redcar (good to soft; easily defied penalty); brings potential to this higher grade and looks interesting. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Winner of Chester seller (7f) last June and has shown progress to add two handicaps elsewhere (overall record is 3-6); good third at Haydock (1m, good to firm) most recently; holds solid claims and should go well. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Well bred (his dam was second in the Oaks), cost 750,000gns as a yearling and made a winning start for Charlie Appleby at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last summer; however, he didn't build on that and he was pulled up in a nursery on his final outing; sold for just 25,000gns in February, gelded and probably best watched on debut for a new stable. |
12/1 |
|
1 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won on debut on the other Newmarket course (7f, good to firm) last month then kept on for third under a penalty when odds-on for Leicester novice (7f, good); the step up in trip looks a firm plus on nursery debut (his dam was second in the Oaks) and his trainer has won the last two runnings. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m maiden winner at Dundalk (AW) for Ger Lyons in November, his fifth start; absent since second in a claimer over that C&D in December and, given his tendency to race too freely, removing the hood on this stable debut looks risky. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (12) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Disappointing favourite when last seen at the Curragh in early June (6f) since when he's been gelded (now hooded); did give the very smart and unbeaten Albert Einstein something to think about when a clear second the time before at Naas (6f); remains promising and should stay 7f. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October; never looked like winning on his seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; may need more of a test. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (6) |

Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October, having previously run well over 7f on Tapeta here; gelded during 173-day break; open to improvement in handicaps this year. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Picked up from Roger Varian for 40,000gns last autumn and had excuses on debut for his current yard (then gelded); easy to back, travelled well and got there in the nick of time on his 7f Lingfield comeback; improvement left upped 3lb. |

1st 2 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Picked up from Roger Varian for 40,000gns last autumn; absent and gelded since said to have finished stiff behind on his debut for this yard (among the winners lately) four months ago; the market will guide now handicapping. |
