13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won well in a novice event at Haydock in May; leapt forward again when second of ten in a Group 2 at Goodwood (again 7f on good; 22-1) 15 days ago, coming from the rear (despite hanging right) to go down by a head, and that makes him the clear form pick. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Never dangerous when 25-1 and some 5l behind Humidity at Newbury in May but found plenty on that form to win well at Haydock on the step up to 7f; others have achieved a lot more but he's a promising colt. |

1st 8 (6) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
25-1 when 5l seventh of 18 on debut at Newbury (6f, good) a fortnight ago; there was promise in that performance, he's in top hands, and his pedigree suggests this extra furlong will be a plus; he's one to consider. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden who ran well in all three handicaps at 7f and 1m, making most when runner-up over this trip at Newmarket (good) in September; this looks a tough race in which to get off the mark; yard also runs Mr Seagull. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
0-6 but has run well in all three nurseries, including over C&D and when second to Big Song at Newmarket latest (1m, good; beaten about 3l); he's 4lb better off with Big Song today and could be the better suited of the pair by this return to 7f; blinkers replace cheekpieces; might not be far away. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-5 but positive performances in this visor in his two nurseries (7f, good to firm/good to soft), most recently keeping on for second at Doncaster (albeit no match for the winner); 1m is worth a go; might not be far away. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran up against smart types on first two 7f starts, on this track and at York (both on good), keeping on pleasingly into third on debut, then ran to similar level next time; was in the right place at the right time, unlike the second, when winning a C&D novice in September; open to improvement as a 3yo; goes handicapping with cheekpieces fitted. |

1st 2 (7) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Third in a novice here in May and similar form when fourth at York (again 7f on good) four weeks later; better is probably needed but 1m+ can help and his stable bids to win this race for the fifth year in succession. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Flopped at Sandown (7f, good) in July but had a break since and been gelded; showed promise in hot novice contests at Haydock and York (both 7f, good) on his first two starts and the stiffer test of stamina provided by today's ground could be right up his street; in calculations. |
7/2 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not beaten all that far in 7f novices at Haydock and York, latterly staying on nicely from off the pace; wouldn't have to find too much improvement to be bang there. |

3rd 1 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
First foal; dam 1m AW 2yo winner (RPR 82) out of Australian 5.5f Group 1 winner; 7-1 from 11-1 when 2l fourth of eight in novice at Haydock (7f, good) four weeks ago, a neck behind Commanding Officer; plenty of promise in that performance. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Did too much up front over 1m1f on penultimate start but never landed a blow when ridden with restraint in first-time hood (retained) over 7.5f latest; progress has stopped since French Listed win and he still has something to prove beyond 1m. |
25/1 |

7th 3 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has seemed a non-stayer over 1m2f and 1m1f (did too much up front) in last two appearances; steadily progressive form at 7f-1m otherwise, culminating in French Listed win; hood now fitted; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 3-6 last term featured a Listed win (1m) on French soil, which followed a good effort in nursery at the York Ebor festival; failed to get home over 1m2f at Saint-Cloud final start; this looks a stiff task under 3lb penalty returned to domestic duty. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to form upped to 1m on last two starts, with an excellent second at Ripon (1m, good; probably acts on soft) on latest; by a sprinter out of 1m6f winner; others perhaps are a little less exposed. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to that form when a close third at Sandown, finishing just behind Assaranca (1m, soft); down another 2lb so hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Sprung a 16-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); two lesser efforts have followed but he faced a stiff task back at 6f at York's Ebor meeting three weeks ago; some encouragement for 1m on dam's side of pedigree but he's by a sprinter and it remains to be seen if he'll see it out, especially were the ground to deteriorate markedly. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Slow learner but gradual improvement in three qualifying runs between 5f and 7f; gelded and didn't carry that progress over to his first nursery when fourth of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm; Gascony second, Booziebrunch fifth) one month ago; still didn't look the finished article that day and will likely cop on at some point; gets first-time tongue-tie and blinkers. |
9/2 |

4th 5 (1) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Looks a slow learner but gradual improvement in three qualifying runs between 5f and 7f, still green when seventh of 12 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; has been gelded and is the type to do much better in handicaps; interesting. |
9/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field in races over 5f and 7f, beaten about 6l both times; plenty to find on bare figures and looks likely to be more interesting when nurseries commence. |
