5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended five-race 2yo campaign with cosy nursery win at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December but did not get competitive on her two appearances this spring (7f/1m) and arrives here with a lot to prove. |
12/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a few subsequent winners behind when winning her AW nursery over 7f at Lingfield but still went off at 28-1 for her comeback race at Kempton and trailed home last; raced wide from an unfavourable draw but could have showed a bit more. |

15th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Caused a 25-1 surprise in a Lingfield nursery (7f, Polytrack) in December, but the form looks solid with four of those behind winning their next starts; 5lb rise not the end of the world, but she has been off 162 days and the draw hasn't been kind. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded ahead of getting off the mark at the seventh attempt in a 7f handicap at Kempton and probably better again when second at Newmarket (7f, good), where Gilet and Rogue Diplomat were further back; 1m won't be an issue on pedigree and Ryan Moore takes over. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Consistent in handicaps, including run out of things only late on when third over the extended 7f here (good) in May; best run when narrowly denied in big-field York handicap (good) four weeks ago; that form is solid so a 3lb nudge from the handicapper may not prevent another prominent showing. |

2nd 8 (6) |
31st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win from eight goes but he's assembling a solid CV, run out of things only late on when third over the extended 7f at Chester last time; dropping back to a bare 7f should suit; clear each-way prospects. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface. |
100/30 |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring here (7f) last month; a shade unlucky when beaten a short head at Southwell (7f, AW) since and should not be far away. |

She is yet to make the progress that may have been expected in handicaps but she's slowly edging down the weights and the addition of a tongue tie may help; conditions no problem but others appeal more. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Yet to add to his 2yo maiden win in 2024 and this year's form for new trainer has generally been disappointing; not the most obvious answer. |
50/1 |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

1-30; well treated in the pick of last year's form, but his more recent efforts, including four for this yard, suggest a resurgence is needed. |

11th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

All runs at 7f, showing fair form at Wolverhampton on debut and at Chelmsford last month; unplaced on last week's nursery debut at Lingfield (drawn wide) and improvement is required now upped to 1m. |

Disappointing in the Wolverhampton event won by Everyoneknowsadave but that is flanked by two encouraging efforts, close fourth at Chelmsford (7f) latest; open to progress in handicaps. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of ability, as evidenced by his smooth win at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June, but he does himself few favours at the start; wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest 5f run, when making the running, and he is greatly respected back at 6f and in a Class 5. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Came from the rear to score at Newbury last month and was placed off today's mark at Epsom (also 6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; can probably cope with this drop back to a stiff 5f but he'll need some luck from stall 1 and his tendency to start slowly is also a worry. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Back in prime form at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month, coming from the rear to win cosily under a confident ride; quickly back up to career-high mark but still commands respect. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

C&D win last August came off 4lb higher but she's struggled since returned to turf, including back here earlier this month; hard to back her with conviction currently. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Placed twice on Polytrack this year (1m/7f); safely held on both starts since returned to turf but this is easier than the Sandown race she contested last month, and she's now 2lb lower than for last summer's C&D win; worth a second look. |
11/1 |

10th 11 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form when runner-up at Kempton (1m, AW) in May, but down the field at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) since and she's won just one of her 18 starts; needs to bounce back. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Chelmsford nursery winner (7f, Polytrack) for Amy Murphy late last year and ran his best race of this campaign when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; possible a stiffer test may suit him better, but still shortlisted from the same mark. |
