2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten favourite in both 2yo starts; gelded prior to his reappearance at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he showed his true colours, recording a comfortable success; followed up in a Leicester handicap in May and was a leading fancy for the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot, only to completely blow out; back on the up with a hard-fought neck defeat of Calico Blue at Newmarket last month; remains a sprinter of interest. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Looked smart when making short work of his rivals in first two starts as a 3yo in a Windsor maiden and on handicap debut at Leicester (both 6f on good to firm); a 10lb rise for the latter didn't look to be overdoing it but he was badly out of sorts when last of 27 in the big 5f handicap at Royal Ascot since (13-2); trust suspended for now. |
12/1 |

27th 13 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
All runs over 6f on good to firm ground; beaten favourite in both starts as a 2yo, after which he was gelded; he has returned an improved performer in 2026, easily winning a Windsor maiden before producing a dominant display in a Leicester handicap 25 days ago; strong at the finish despite racing freely in the early stages on that latest occasion and he looks plenty quick enough for 5f; a 10lb hike is no gift but the Leicester form looks strong and he could well be a Group horse in the making; stable won this last year; lots to like. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter; chased home Jazl in a Newmarket handicap last month (2lb worse off today) before improving his flawless C&D record to 3-3 with an easy win eight days ago; worth his place in this stronger company and he looks sure to go well once again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D novice winner last season and his handicap form this year is strong, finishing fourth in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) before returning to 6f to finish a neck second of 13 to Jazl in a traditionally hot race at the Newmarket July meeting (good to firm again); a 2lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him from a good draw. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Juvenile wins came in 6f novices; has held his own in 5f handicaps this year, doing well on the far side when fourth of 27 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) just behind Ten Carat Harry; return to 6f can suit; better claims than most. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f but proved suited by the return to 7f last time, comfortably beating a couple of today's opponents in C&D handicap (good to firm); now 9lb higher but commands respect with further progress plausible. |
11/4 |

1st 9 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win in AW maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; saw off 21 rivals on his handicap debut at York (again 6f, good) in June and posted creditable placed efforts off 6lb higher on his next two starts; up a further 2lb but he's not fully exposed and this return to 7f (one run on debut) is firmly in range on pedigree; plenty to like. |
6/5 |
|
2nd 9 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Easy win in a 6f maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; made light of his opening mark when seeing off 21 rivals in a 6f handicap at York (good) in June; unable to justify favouritism in a hot Newmarket handicap last month but the ground was the fastest he has faced and he didn't look entirely at ease, doing well to take third as things panned out; that form looks strong and he remains with serious potential; of obvious interest if the going is deemed suitable. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a good season and his Ascot win (6f, good to firm) in August is solid form; well beaten behind a few of these at York four weeks ago, though; ran okay on soft at this meeting last year. |
20/1 |
|
17th 19 (19) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He has not looked back since dropping to 6f in May, winning three times including an impressive success at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; two solid C&D runs on his record too but a 6lb rise since Ascot, allied to slower ground, could find him out; the only 3yo in the field and that age group have won the last two renewals. |
15/2 |

Thriving since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and then performing with great credit in hot sprint handicaps on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be bang there once again. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
A prime example of the resurgence of the Roger Teal yard in recent months, following his narrow Newmarket win (6f, good) in August with a defeat of Another Abbot at Yarmouth (6f, good again) 15 days, pulling a long way clear of those in his group; respected up 3lb. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark for the season when holding on narrowly at Newmarket (6f, good) last month and is now 3-8 overall; recent 2lb rise ought to be manageable and he might still have a bit more to offer; respected. |

9st 2lb |
Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) five weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term; below par back over that C&D (good to soft, likely softer) last Saturday but he raced freely and had a possible ground excuse; could bounce back. |

Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) four weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term and taking record to 3-11; may have further progress in him over this trip; major player. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has given superb value since the autumn, winning five 6f handicaps on the AW between October and January; even better in turf sprints since, landing a 6f handicap on the Rowley course here (good to firm) and finishing strongly to take second on his side to a handicap blot in the big 5f race at Royal Ascot; rock solid to go well back at 6f. |

Made hay on AW over the winter and then found another burst of improvement to win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; admirable as he is, this looks an extremely stiff task now dropping to 5f for the first time; sold for £200,000 at the Goffs London Sale on Monday. |

8th 2 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so. |

All six runs have been at 7f, winning an AW novice last summer; had wind and gelding operations prior to his reappearance at Newbury (good) in April and ran well for third; filled the same spot in a handicap here six weeks ago; improvement essential now tackling 5f in a red-hot handicap; tongue-tie enlisted. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Useful 2yo; 3yo campaign has been hard work so far but he didn't run badly at Doncaster (6f, good; first run after wind surgery) this month and dropping back to 5f shouldn't hurt; one to consider from a good draw. |

Doubled his tally at Newcastle (6f) in May and posted a very good fifth in Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f) after; not at his best when tenth at Newmarket (6f) last time but freshened up since and no surprise to see him get back on track. |

2-2 on the AW, at 5f and 6f; his first turf handicap run, at Bath in April, was nothing to get excited about but he showed he belonged at this level when a never-nearer fifth of 27 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; a big run back at 6f could be on the way. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet. |

All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him. |
