10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Of interest on the form he showed on his first three starts but stepping up to 6f hasn't helped in either nursery run; eased in class this time and he's high on the list back at 5f. |
6/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing favourite on nursery debut at York but he'd shown considerable promise previously and is well worth a second look given that his trainer has won three of the last five runnings; unraced on slow ground. |
6/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
220,000gns breeze-up 2yo who has raced at 5f so far, showing plenty of promise when second on Dante meeting debut here before beaten about only 3l when seventh (Old Is Gold eighth, Shaman Champion ninth) of 23 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; comfortably landed short odds in a four-runner maiden at Hamilton since and interesting now stepped up to 6f for nursery debut in a race his yard has won three times since 2015, including last year. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Some solid efforts in maiden and novices (5f/6f) but he wasn't improving and could only carry that level over when sixth of nine on nursery debut at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; up in trip again for this AW debut. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in maiden/novice events over 5f/6f this summer; respectable fourth of nine in 6f Chester novice (good) last time; steps up to 7f for nursery debut. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unable to justify favouritism but still posted a sound effort when clear second at Redcar (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, on fourth start; will play a major role if in similar form again here. |

8st 13lb |
Steps up in distance with very poor claims on her sprinting form. |

7th 8 (6) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in her four turf starts, albeit she did beat her first horse home when eighth of nine on her nursery debut 17 days ago; was sent off at 150-1 there and she's hard to recommend. |
50/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Failed to beat a rival in three starts (5f-6f; at triple-figure odds); transformation needed in this newly applied hood in order to prove competitive switched to handicap company. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
No Nay Never filly has gone with some encouragement in her three outings to date, racing freely when third of five in 5f Hamilton maiden 20 days ago; can't be discounted on her nursery debut. |
13/2 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Held in fourth in both runs and latest was in a four-runner race at Musselburgh (5f, good), but she wasn't beaten far and that was a major step forward from her debut effort; this is no easy task against Utmost Respect but she's second best on the figures and is open to more progress. |
9/2 |

1st Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed some promise with her fourth of eight, faring best of the newcomers, at Hamilton (5f) last Thursday; may do better with the experience under her belt. |
14/1 |
