4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins at around 1m when trained by Ed Bethell; his losing run is mounting up and a first-time eye-shield is now applied along with returning blinkers; now on a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
7/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Began this year with three respectable 7f AW runs in blinkers (missing today) and can also be effective over 1m2f on turf but has fitness to prove after 145-day break and his last win came in summer 2024. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Successful in Class 6 over C&D and Class 5 on AW last term; had wind surgery since final outing; needs to prove he can cope with this higher grade on reappearance but market support should be heeded. |

He was winning for the 13th time when seeing off eight rivals over C&D last month; backed it up with a close second at Lingfield 24 days ago; more appealing than many. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won 6f handicaps at Kempton and here earlier this year; some good runs since and it was his first visit to Epsom when below par there last week. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on AW in the spring; he has held his form on turf this summer and another big run looks likely; more appealing than most. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner last year (7f/1m; AW/good to firm) when trained by Roger Varian; has dropped in the weights and his last two efforts have been good, including when runner-up to On Key over this C&D two weeks ago, despite a wide trip; considered. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (12) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm); has slipped to a good mark and he halted the slide in his fortunes with a third at Yarmouth; considered despite an awkward draw. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gelded after running poorly on handicap debut at Kempton in January (1m); second in Chelmsford maiden over 1m last time when shaping as though this step up in trip would suit; interesting. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Placed in two Lingfield novices in December (1m and 7f) but tailed off on his handicap debut six weeks ago; improvement essential back in maiden company. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins on the AW, the latest at Lingfield (7f) in April; twice well held since despite just a 2lb rise and others make greater appeal. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 7f handicap wins on the AW, the latest over C&D in April under Charlie Tucker, but he was disappointing on the turf track here (7f) since, given that he's handled that test in the past; shade to prove this time. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Promising runs last season at 7f/1m; well held in two handicaps (7f/6f) this campaign, though was quite short in the betting for both and Windsor last time didn't go to plan; wouldn't rule out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each 2yo run but his second of eight on Lingfield AW (1m) in December came in an ordinary novice; entitled to need the run on handicap/turf debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and he ran respectably in sixth, eased when beaten; may be capable of better over the new trip. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well held in five runs for Jane Chapple-Hyam including a handicap on the Rowley course here (1m, good) in May; changed hands for 6,000gns since; still early days but she needs improvement dropped to 6f on her stable debut; hood added. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Best form on debut when sixth of ten in good July course novice (7f, good to firm) in August; hasn't kicked on from there but would have claims on this handicap debut if tapping back into that initial promise. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in two Irish runs and again when 100-1 for her stable debut here last month (ridden by a 7lb claimer); this is more realistic and she needs a market check. |
18/1 |
|
10th 8 (9) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Out of the frame in two starts on turf in Ireland (6f/1m) seven months apart, though she did show a hint of ability on both occasions; changed hands for 4,000gns last month; out of an AW winner and worth a market check on stable debut. |

Perhaps the return to turf will prove the answer but he hasn't shone in two runs in cheekpieces this year, having been gelded, and is regressive; others have stronger claims. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Good effort when third in a 6f maiden on debut at Dundalk in February; has failed to build on that; soundly beaten in four turf handicap stars at four different trips from 5f to 1m. |

12th 9 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |

Good effort in 6f maiden on debut at Dundalk (6f) in February but hasn't built on that; yet to show winning potential on turf; others appeal more. |
