2nd 2 (2) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Soundly beaten in sales race at Naas (6f, good to yielding) last time but showed promise on his first three starts (5f/6f good), including a debut win at Beverley and close third in a Thirsk novice; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 0lb |
Beverley novice winner on debut over 5f on good; okay fourth in valuable event and ran to a similar level upped in trip at Thirsk, conceding weight all round; needs more. |

1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both starts on good ground at Beverley over 5f; made a winning debut in April and built on that when a respectable fourth in the Two Year Old Trophy in May; kept on that day, suggesting this step up to 6f should suit; respected under the penalty. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Signed off at 2yrs with an improved second in 7f Yarmouth nursery; raced on the unfavoured part of the track when tenth in 7f Leicester handicap on his return and shouldn't be written off in a change of headgear. |
25/1 |
|
10th 5 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No progress in three qualifying runs but he found improvement upped to 7f on nursery debut when a strong-finishing second at Yarmouth (good to soft) in September; only 1lb higher than for that close call and he's an interesting contender with cheekpieces added on his return. |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Thirsk (6f, good) in July on second start and fourth in warm novice there (6f, good) later that month; close third on nursery debut there (5f, good) last time and he showed promise on good to soft ground on his debut at Carlisle in May; every chance he'll be bang there. |
9/4 |

5 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over 6f here on his second start and he ran into a subsequent Gimcrack (Group 2) winner when a respectable fourth here last time; those last two runs were under positive tactics and he looks interesting back at 5f on nursery debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Improved for being gelded and bagged a pair of 5f nurseries at Newcastle late in 2025; back from five months off here but he's still not out of things nudged up 2lb. |
9/1 |
|
8 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Holding his form quite well, second in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm) in August, but he's a maiden after five attempts and this is very tough race in which to break his duck. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Dead-heated over 7f here just before Christmas and rebounded quickly from lesser effort when winning very narrowly over that trip nine days ago (made all); not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f but still considered. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dead-heated in C&D nursery last month, with the reopposing Runninman close up in third; too free when well beaten at Wolverhampton (7f again) since. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Got off the mark in a Chelmsford nursery on AW last August but has failed to build on that since; sports first-time cheekpieces on this return to turf; needs a revival. |
16/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made a successful AW debut at Chelmsford last summer; no progress since, including two AW runs last month, but back to his winning mark and a revival isn't out of the question. |
20/1 |
|
10th 6 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning AW debut when seeing off six rivals at Chelmsford (5f) in August; not so good twice since but when back on AW two weeks ago it was after a 173-day layoff; not fully exposed and now steps back up in trip. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
0-6 and can look a difficult ride; rallied into third at Hamilton (1m, good) two weeks ago; needs to be sweetened up by cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Headstrong sort but he's progressing with experience and posted a very good fifth of nine on his first go in handicap company at Doncaster (1m) 13 days ago; not out of things. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gelded after three runs in 2025; hard to know the worth of his comeback Tapeta third to an easy, short-priced winner but he's entitled to have come on for that and shaped there as though this extra furlong would help. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Six-race maiden who is yet to finish better than fourth but there were hints of promise in 7f nurseries here (good/good to soft; unraced on softer) last September and the way he kept on when mid-division on his recent reappearance at Southwell (7f, AW) suggests 1m could be a good fit. |
16/1 |
|
7th 9 (2) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ran a solid race on handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good) in September but encountered a wide trip there next time; off since and now switches to the AW having been gelded in the interim. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
2yo campaign ended with heavy defeats in a nursery and Listed race; however, she won a soft-ground 6f nursery at Carlisle last September and could be a contender if getting her career back on track following a break. |
16/1 |
|
13 (7) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 6lb |
Best effort when making most to win nursery at Carlisle (6f, soft) in September; perhaps didn't stay 7f next time, although stamina wasn't the sole reason for a poor run; needs to bounce back and has plenty to find on form. |
66/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form to make all by half a length at Carlisle (6f, soft) ten days ago on her second nursery start, beating one who has posted wins either side; kept on well on that occasion and her dam was a 7f winner, both of which bode well for this step up in trip; respected under 6lb penalty. |
11/2 |
