31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Bounced back from heavy Royal Ascot defeat and rediscovered previous promise when half-length runner-up to Dante's Lad in Class 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; however, others here may have greater potential. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Reappeared with a win in C&D novice (good to firm) last month; ran well in French Listed race next time but he found things tough in the Britannia handicap at Royal Ascot 11 days ago; still unexposed and now goes back up in trip but this mark looks tough on the balance of his form and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

24th 14 (26) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
1m2f novice winner at Windsor (good to firm); given every chance in a Listed race in France last time (extended 1m1f, good) but faded late on into fourth; that was nonetheless his best form and a stiff 1m here could be a better fit; not dismissed. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Trained last year by Richard Hughes, winning on debut then holding her form well, including two creditable efforts at Goodwood; sold for 70,000gns since last run; the betting may help to ascertain expectations on stable/seasonal debut. |
9/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ran well in competitive races on both handicap starts, more recently when close sixth of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in late July; proven over 1m3f and shapes as though today's trip will suit; must be considered. |
3/1 |
|
8 (8) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won debut (8.6f, AW) in April; came from last to fifth in a ten-runner Listed race over C&D (1m2f, soft) on penultimate start and last to third in 11-runner handicap at Southwell (1m3f, AW; met traffic) on latest, on both occasions looking capable of better. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who was sold for 600,000gns later in October; flopped at long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh last month; brought out just six days later for Grade 2 at Kempton (again good to soft) where he did better, but was weakening when hampered two out; should get the hang of this discipline in due course, but probably too late to feature in this finish. |
66/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who changed hands for 600,000gns last autumn; went off long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last Sunday but compromised his chance by racing freely/jumping none too fluently and could finish only fourth; it's far too soon to be writing him off but he needs a major leap forward just six days on. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Progressive on the Flat for Andrew Balding and bagged Listed honours at Ascot (1m6f, good to soft) on last appearance; sold for 600,000gns later in October; withdrawn at Newbury last weekend due to heavy ground; market mover for the Triumph and looks a very interesting hurdles prospect. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m4f maiden winner on good in June beaten but upwards of 4l in his three handicaps since; being eased another 2lb can only help but others are still preferred. |
8/1 |

5th 10 (4) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Made all in workmanlike fashion when 5-6 in a Haydock maiden (1m4f, good) in June on third start; handicap debut (1m4f, AW debut) next time was creditable on form but he hung markedly left; last of 13 with blinkers at Glorious Goodwood (40-1) 13 days ago and now tries cheekpieces. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Hamilton in May (1m4f, good), weakening in the closing stages; 2lb drop in the weights helps and she remains capable of better. |
7/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
28th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dam bred three Group 1 winners in Italy, two at 1m4f; has run with plenty of credit in qualifying events, considering 1m was inadequate on first two starts before denied a clear run when building up to a challenge at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month; can improve now handicapping at 1m4f. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

0-9; best effort when second of ten off 2lb higher at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July, but she has regressed again since; enough to prove. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |

Made a good fist of her second handicap when runner-up over C&D (good; Jack Langley behind) in July; gone backwards since so hopes are pinned on the return to this venue. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won a Class 6 handicap on the Flat last year over 1m3f (on good ground); ran better on his hurdle debut at Hexham (good to soft) than his margin of defeat may suggest; this surface will suit him better. |
10/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Fair Flat performer, winner of a 11.5f handicap on good at Lingfield for James Owen last summer; fair sixth on AW over 2m on third start for current yard last time; quite interesting now hurdling. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Sole win came at Lingfield (11.6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) for James Owen last June, but out of the frame in two starts on the AW since returning for this yard last month; didn't enjoy a clear run on either occasion, but he still needs to step up. |

9st 5lb |
Three qualifying runs between 7f and 1m2f came on good and good to firm; best run on debut when eighth of ten at Newbury; dam's only win came when wearing cheekpieces and her daughter now gets them fitted for this handicap debut. |
