Dual AW winner in Britain at around 1m but regressed and having changed hands for 2,400gns soundly beaten in both hurdling attempts over the winter; wouldn't be out of it if running to his British AW form. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't really gone on from making a winning handicap debut in April; was rather wayward back on turf last time and connections opt for a visor rather than blinkers here; there's real hope for going beyond 8.6f for the first time on breeding; 7lb claimer returns to the saddle. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Scored on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April but is yet to make any significant further progress after three further AW starts (7f-8.6f; blinkers added last time); needs to kick on again on this return to turf. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came at Wolverhampton in 2024 when trained by his previous stable and he's mostly struggled since joining this yard; off for 168 days and is best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

8th 8 (9) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has dropped 11lb lower than when making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last December, for a reason though and his last three starts (including two since a second wind op) were particularly poor; swaps cheekpieces for a hood. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor maiden for two yards who went off big prices, and finished well beaten, in two Wolverhampton handicaps this spring; little to recommend her. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival on stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) and beaten 8l when below-form fourth of six here on handicap debut over 8.5f; drops back in trip with more needed from her. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Heavy-ground winner over 7f on final 2yo start; conditions have mostly been difficult for her this year but her staying-on third of ten at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago was more promising; in the thick of it if adding cheekpieces has a good effect. |
9/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improved to win 7f nursery on heavy ground last autumn but well below that form this season (five runs; 7f-1m2f), including when back on slow turf a fortnight ago. |
16/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended her 2yo campaign with a heavy-ground success on handicap debut at Leicester (7f); that was off 2lb higher but she's struggled in four runs this season and a tongue-tie didn't make any difference at Kempton three weeks ago; has lots to prove including stamina at this new trip. |

26th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
25-1 when winning off 5lb lower on handicap debut at Southwell over 6f in January following three quick runs over longer trips; failed to match that level in two further 6f starts and has left Eve Johnson Houghton (changed hands); back up in trip; best watched. |

9st 7lb |
25-1 when making a successful handicap debut at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but having been raised 6lb she disappointed at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; each-way claims if helped by the return to Tapeta. |
