20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Never figured at Royal Ascot then looked a non-stayer over 1m6f in the Ebor; returns to calmer waters and drops back in trip, so may tap back into earlier progress (AW/turf) that produced form figures of 1211. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made debut at the end of 2024; won three of his first four starts, on last occasion a 12-runner handicap here (1m4f, good to firm) in May when he led over 2f out and narrowly saw off Stressfree; had been racing freely and prominently, so the widest draw at Royal Ascot (1m4f; just 7-1) posed a challenge but he didn't really fire behind Ethical Diamond; he was shaping up to be a serious talent before that and has now been gelded. |
16/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Not seen on a racecourse until the end of 2024 but he's now won three of his four starts; first three races were tight finishes on AW when trained by Charlie Fellowes; debut for this yard came in 12-runner handicap at York (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago when he narrowly saw off the challenge of Stressfree; up another 5lb today and has joined Wathnan Racing for their big meeting; has been racing freely and prominently, so perhaps the widest draw today will pose a challenge, but he's shaping up to be a serious talent. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well last season, including a win over 1m4f in April but he was best later on at about 2m (including at York); reappearance this term was pretty encouraging, considering it was over just 1m2f, and he looks a serious each-way contender. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well for his new yard last season, winning twice (1m4f/2m, good to firm); his current mark maybe isn't beyond him but he's never run over a trip this short and he's probably vulnerable on his reappearance. |
12/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Regular improvement for new yard, including a win at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (2m, good to firm) in August and going oh so close off this mark in three-way photo at York (2m, good) on latest outing; he's well handicapped and, with a good chance that 2m2f will help with further progress, another bold show should be on its way. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Showed promise in three AW novice events when with Andrew Balding; has finished last on both starts for this trainer (1m and 1m3f, both AW); drops another 5lb but we need to see more before he can be recommended. |
33/1 |

13th 4 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Showed promise in three AW novices for Andrew Balding last winter including over this C&D, but having been gelded he finished last of seven on stable/handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago; may have needed it, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Showed plenty in three starts on AW for Andrew Balding, including when third of 12 behind two useful types at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in February; bought for 7,500gns since and gelded; hood added for handicap/yard debut; interesting contender. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; made favourite in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last time but the start proved troublesome again, very slowly away only to finish fourth of eleven; a clean break would put him right in the picture but that's by no means certain. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; arrives with something to prove but wears first-time blinkers and it will be interesting to see if he's again towards the head of the betting. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par at Ripon (2m, good) last time but failed to settle and she was progressive previously, finishing third of 13 at Salisbury in August following a break (1m6f, good to soft; unraced on softer); retains potential; dam was a Listed winner on soft ground for connections. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and back to something approaching her best when close up after a break at Salisbury (1m6f, good to soft); in the mix. |

|
3rd 4 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and perhaps ready for a break when turned over at prohibitive odds in a three-runner race at Lingfield (2m) in June; has an 8lb higher mark to deal with now but could still have improvement in her; all turf runs on good or faster. |
