30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 3yo whose latest effort is likely best forgiven (eased; bled from nose); scored over C&D (soft) the time before and remains open to further progress. |
10/1 |
|
12th 13 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had wind and gelding operations before reappearance; 6-4 co-favourite for a seven-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) six weeks ago on second run back and improved to win from the front, asserting in clearcut fashion; up 6lb and needs another step forward but that may well be possible. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed ability in all four starts as a 2yo over 7f-8.6f on turf/AW and, after having been gelded and undergone wind surgery, he looked in need of his Haydock reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; looks to have a bigger performance in him. |

3rd 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a solid record in handicaps, completing an AW double then making the frame twice on turf; however, has shown no further improvement for the switch to this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two AW handicaps (1m/9.5f) earlier in the year and, despite an 8lb rise, he ran well to finish fourth of 14 on turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (third has won since); major player. |
7/2 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A different proposition since handicapping, with wins at Chelmsford (1m; dead-heated) in January and Wolverhampton (9.4f) five weeks ago; asserted in good style in the final 1f last time, which has earned him an 8lb rise but this longer trip looks a plus if he proves effective on turf debut. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Cheekpieces applied when she raced freely and didn't get home over 1m2f at Goodwood on her handicap debut in June; there's hope for this trip on pedigree but she'll need to settle better. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Best effort when third of 13 in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) for Alice Haynes in October, but two heavy defeats since (including on stable debut) leave her with plenty to prove; cheekpieces given a go on handicap debut and they need to have an effect. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Placed three times for Alice Haynes last year; steps up in trip on stable debut and more required. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who won a Kempton handicap (7f, AW) in February and was a fair third at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in June; this is a deeper race but he kept on well last time and looks worth another try at this trip; not ruled out. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Bumped into one on his handicap debut early in the year before showing the right attitude to win off 1lb lower next time (both Polytrack); didn't look to see out 1m2f on soft ground back from a break recently and holds obvious claims at this lower level. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not beaten far in two 1m handicaps in May and the form of both has been boosted; below that level up in trip at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) in June; sold for 1,600gns to join current yard in July and needs to return to her best on stable debut. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Not beaten far in two 1m handicaps last month and the form of both has been boosted; wouldn't be nailed on to appreciate the longer trip, though. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Good fourth at Bath (1m) switched to handicap level last time and may take another step forward; one to consider. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Unplaced all seven Flat starts and suffered heavy defeat in Class 6 handicap on latest outing 24 days ago; his penultimate run (1m4f; RPR 57) wasn't bad, though, and his trainer does quite well with his occasional runners over hurdles. |
14/1 |

10th 8 (9) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
0-6 and closest he's got to the winner was when beaten 3l at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) last month; has something to build on but needs more. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in five starts and has trailed in last in a couple of handicaps since headgear was introduced; difficult to fancy. |
