16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has some flashes of smart form (including on sole AW start when second to Notable Speech) so it's disappointing that he's won just once in ten races, and more new headgear was tried when sixth on his reappearance in the Lincoln; that was a pretty good effort from off the pace and he returns from another break after wind surgery and with no aids fitted; has a fair record when fresh, so dangerous to dismiss. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has run well in defeat more often than not in handicaps, finishing third of 14 over C&D (heavy) in October when last seen; however, he may need testing ground to be a serious force at this trip, having run well at up to 1m4f here in the past; wears first-time tongue-tie/blinkers. |

3rd 1 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; given a break after a poor run over 1m4f at Epsom on Derby day and coped well with the drop back to 1m1f when third at Yarmouth (soft) on return last month, keeping on after not clear run; travelled on that occasion as if this even shorter trip may help if anything; considered. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Contested last year's Group 3 Acomb in between wins over 7f (one at Wolverhampton); still lightly raced and denied only late on last time at Chester (7f) where he appeared to have that in the bag when kicking clear after disputing the lead throughout; that effort is worthy of an upgrade; interesting. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced sort who made a winning start for Marco Botti in 7f Wolverhampton handicap on Boxing Day; faded as if possibly needing his first outing since when sixth of ten at Sandown (7f, good) 14 days ago; entitled to come on for the run. |
11/2 |

6th 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Only defeat last year came in a Group 3 at York and, having left previous yard for 50,000gns, he beat a subsequent winner to justify favouritism in an AW handicap on Boxing Day (7f); won that nicely enough to believe a 7lb rise is manageable, and clearly open to further progress. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has a patchy profile but he got back on the scoresheet with a comfortable win at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last month; up 4lb but that was a personal best last time and he's had a light campaign this season; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
His two C&D runs last season yielded a win and a close second (in this race off a 1lb higher mark); best effort this year when third of 13 at Southwell two weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (12) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

2-3 on AW surfaces; he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts and the signs were more encouraging at Thirsk 15 days ago (7f), as although only midfield he wasn't beaten all that far; others are still preferred. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two 7f AW wins last winter, both in fine style, but he has found it tougher going in good company since; pleasing return from a nine-week break when fourth at Southwell 19 days ago and the third has come out and won well since; drops in class and should go well. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who returned from long layoff with two good efforts this summer, the latter a clear second at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago; nudged up 2lb for that but ought to make presence felt again. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won two 6f novice events as 2yo, beating Wokingham winner Double Rush in the first; well below that level when confined to only two starts at Meydan in 2025 (both in January), but he ran well for a long way in a Southwell handicap (7f; tongue-tie added) on his comeback last month; that was an encouraging effort after a long absence and he looks interesting on this drop back in trip. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Won two turf novices as a 2yo, beating Wokingham winner Double Rush in the first; well below that level when confined to only two starts at Meydan in 2025 (both in January; one on AW); lots to prove on a few counts on handicap debut and with a tongue-tie tried, though any confidence behind him would turn some heads. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
First two wins on AW; good start for this yard when winning at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April but he's beaten a total of one rival in two turf starts since and failed to find much when dropped to 7f on Southwell AW last time (first-time blinkers, retained); has enough to prove at present. |

Bolted up on soft ground at Ffos Las (7.4f; cheekpieces first time) in June on his final start for William Haggas; raised his form to a new level with that success but he was clobbered by the handicapper and has been well held at big prices in both runs for current yard; others preferred. |

Bolted up on soft ground at Ffos Las (7.4f; cheekpieces first time) in June on his final start for William Haggas; clobbered by the handicapper for that success and he could only manage a midfield finish on his stable debut three weeks ago (7f, AW; no headgear); cheekpieces now return but others appeal more. |

Won a 7f Tapeta maiden for the Crisfords and doubled his tally on third and final run for William Haggas when winning by 11l on soft ground at Ffos Las in June (first-time cheekpieces worn then are now removed); wouldn't want to be flattered by that having gone up 12lb; joined current connections last month for 30,000gns. |

Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well. |

Took strike-rate to 5-16 when winning comfortably at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) ten weeks ago, looking better than ever; 7lb higher in this classier contest but has run well here before and he's not easily knocked. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Beaten on his last 16 starts going back to May 2024 and he didn't deliver on a hint he was on the way back at Chester in May when beaten 7l at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago; just 1lb above his last winning mark, however, and first-time blinkers might help him put his best foot forward. |

9st 11lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he ended last season with a comfortable success at Kempton (7f); well held on comeback at Southwell last month, but he may have needed that run and he's still lightly raced after only eight starts; one to keep an eye on back up in trip and down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

First six runs were at 1m and he had been disappointing in handicaps; however, that changed when dropped to 7f at Kempton last September and he's well handicapped on that comfortable 2l win despite this 8lb higher mark; it's encouraging that he returns from his absence with the yard in great form. |
4/1 |

8 (2) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
