2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Impressive on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and tapped back into that promise when beaten just a nose in a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last time; respected now he's back on song. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Wasn't quite up to Coventry level and subsequently seemed unsuited by rain-softened ground at Glorious Goodwood; interesting in this lower grade returned to Windsor, having scored comfortably over C&D on debut. |
7/2 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) where he had the pace to be handy before skipping clear when it mattered; it was only 15 days later when he performed below market expectations in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (12-1) and this Group 1 entrant is dangerously unexposed on this handicap debut; should have no trouble staying 7f. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Barely needed to improve to justify odds-on favouritism in a 7f novice at Epsom three weeks ago (good to soft); makes his nursery debut in a warm race and improvement looks essential. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had Norfolk Blue behind when runner-up at Windsor before finishing midfield in a traditionally strong maiden at Newmarket's July meeting (first-time tongue-tie); did drop away quite tamely last time after racing prominently but this is much weaker. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has run well over 5f and 6f, latterly at Windsor behind a good prospect who probably failed to do himself justice in the Coventry; this colt is useful, has experience and now goes in a tongue-tie; could have a role to play. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fair form on good to firm/firm on first three starts, before last of seven on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good; 12-1) in first-time cheekpieces; wears a hood instead for this AW debut. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has raced only on firmer than good; behind A'Ali G at Bath last time (shorter price of the pair) when his chance went after he stumbled and hit the running rail; 2lb better off with his old rival tonight and wears first-time cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

1 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
No match for an odds-on rival when second of four on his debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); then refused to enter the stalls at Chester, and after being gelded he was third of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; made the running); contender. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden who's been expensive to follow, including in a couple of handicaps since returned to turf; has often been inclined to pull hard and is dropping to 5f for the first time, which ought to help. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Made the frame at Haydock (6f) last time in only her second handicap attempt; seems more exposed than most of these rivals, being 0-10, but she's a form contender and could go well. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Eight of her nine runs have come in novice/maiden company but her one handicap run saw her finish second over C&D last July off an 8lb higher mark; returns from an 86-day break without any accessories; betting useful. |

9st 7lb |
Fifth of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) before fourth in a valuable seller at Chester (7f, good) where he had to make his ground up out wide; drops back to 6f with claims. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Brother to a Listed winner; fifth of 13 in what looked an above-average Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and features prominently in calculations here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 10 (12) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
62,000gns foal; brother to 5.5f-6.5f winner Room Service (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 115), half-brother to winners Royal Advice (6f/7f; 80) and Green Clover (Polish 1m-1m2f including 2yo); dam placed 8.6f/1m1f, out of 1m4f/1m5f winner; yard 10% with 2yos last year and market should guide on debut. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He isn't progressing but there was money for him at Wolverhampton 16 days ago (5f), only for him to be hampered leaving the stalls and then short of room soon after the start, ending up poorly positioned; didn't look straightforward in the home straight though and a wide stall isn't ideal for this free-going colt. |
7/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Finished closer when fifth of eight on nursery debut here (6f, good; 22-1) 13 days ago and he shaped as if moving up in trip would suit; needs markedly better but worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
100,000gns yearling whose well-bred dam was useful; soundly beaten on his three starts (6f, good to firm) and not obviously well treated off his opening mark, but improvement is possible and a market check is advised. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Kept busy by previous yard, getting off the mark on Kempton AW (6f) in January; inevitably more exposed than some but he acts on turf and ran well for a long way over C&D this month for his new yard; a likely contender. |
9/1 |
|
6th 12 (13) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of only 1-14 for Tom Ward, the success over 6f on AW in January; sold for 7,000gns since last run; has bits of turf form but is on a tougher mark back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

5th 8 (2) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when winning a C&D handicap in January; similar form when a close second at Lingfield in February; held by Arry Up on their Leicester run last October. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't progress last season and was gelded over the winter; just a fair effort in a less-competitive Yarmouth handicap on his comeback and first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood twice as a 2yo) will need to make a difference. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Second from off the pace in a novice at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) last July on second start but that stands out a mile from his other four performances; stamina on the dam's side; gelded prior to this reappearance for an in-form yard. |
12/1 |

3 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Well down the field in valuable York nursery last month but will find this race easier and has claims if judged on his second from off the pace at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) in July; AW debut. |

Down the field in three maiden/novice events (6f/5f) but she's a half-sister to 7f AW winner God Bless America (RPR 76) so may yet do better now she steps up in trip and switches to handicaps. |
6/5 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Triple-figure odds, failing to make an impact at Chepstow or Windsor (both 6f); will soon be eligible for a mark, with nurseries likely to provide more suitable opportunities; look elsewhere. |

9th 13 (7) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No match for front pair but just missed third over C&D 13 days ago (just about best form); fair chance she can find extra now tackling a nursery for yard that took this in 2022 and 2024. |

Sole win from ten starts came in a maiden at Bath (5.5f, soft) in September when trained by Kevin Philippart de Foy; solid effort when runner-up at Kempton last month but he was reported to have run flat at Bath four days later; could bounce back. |
12/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

His 2yo win came at this track (5.7f, soft); running himself back into form for new stable, never out of the first two when second to an unexposed opponent at Kempton on Wednesday (6f); still inclined to over-race but dropping back in trip might help. |

Off the mark on second start (5f, good to firm) and ran respectably on handicap debut when beaten 3l at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft; not clear run) in August; gelded before sharing second (5f, AW) on reappearance in March and again didn't have the cleanest shot when fourth at Bath one month later; not ruled out. |

Returned from seven months off (gelded during his absence) with a dead-heat for second at Wolverhampton last month (6f); his win came on good to firm and this extended 5f should suit; not discounted. |

2nd 5 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Pulled hard in three runs after winning a small-field maiden last summer, over 6f on his final two runs, and remains relatively unexposed; perhaps the gelding operation will settle him down and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
