3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First defeat in handicaps - had been 2-2 at 7f - came over 1m at Royal Ascot; didn't exactly get herself back on track when only seventh of 11 on the July course (made most, as for her wins) and that was in July (7f); now has a point to prove. |

9st 5lb |
Comfortably held over 1m at Royal Ascot last time; 2-2 in 7f handicaps, both Class 4 events from the front, including over C&D; may have more to offer back at this trip and back in calmer waters. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winning 5f debut; had wind surgery after abortive Royal Ascot run and only just failed to make a successful handicap debut at Newmarket (7f; form worked out) in August; challenge petered out on a quickish return at York (7f) but he still has something to offer at this level now back at 6f. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning debut in spite of the 5f trip here in May; down the field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, after which he underwent wind surgery; well backed on his recent nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) where he couldn't quite peg back a rival who enjoyed the run of the race; raised 2lb but it's unlikely we have seen the best of him just yet; stable won this race last year. |

9st 9lb |
260,000euros yearling; won at York (5f, good to firm) where he was niggled at from some way out but came home with purpose; well behind in the Coventry (6f) but has since had wind surgery and retains potential (has a Group 2 entry amongst other high-profile engagements); potentially well in off 85; dam won at 1m. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Supplemented last year's AW win with straightforward success at Newmarket (1m, good); a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging and encouraging that he can cope with undulations (unraced here). |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth over C&D (good) in June and returns here after keeping on well for second in tactical race at Ffos Las (1m, good) ten days ago; still on a workable mark; might be the answer. |

Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) in June and is now 3lb lower than when placed at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; good chance. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
75-rated on the Flat, with three wins (5f-7f; all for Karl Burke) from 15 starts; is closely related to the 2m1f Flat and 2m hurdle/chase winner Hazran, which suggests that he's worth a go over obstacles; monitor only. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stepped up on the form of any of this three wins as a 2yo (for Karl Burke) when second over 1m here in May; had three-next-time-out winners behind him on that occasion but he hasn't reproduced that level in four subsequent outings; all 13 turf starts have come on good/good to firm; needs a return to Haydock to spark a revival. |
16/1 |

12th 14 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time winner for Karl Burke (5f/7f); ran well at Haydock (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but he was below that level on his next two starts, and was safely held when third of four at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month. |

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. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won soft-ground nursery at Sandown (7f) off just 1lb lower at the end of last summer; creditable 2l fourth of eight in 7f Ascot 3yo-only handicap (good) 13 days ago, shaping as if this return to 1m may suit; that was only his second outing of the year so he's also fresh for this stage of the season; interesting. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Sole win came on soft ground at Sandown 12 months ago when only 2lb lower; since then he's performed okay in two handicaps on either side of a sales-race assignment; has yet to prove himself on fast ground but this is only his second run after a gelding operation; wouldn't be too dismissive. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second of seven on his nursery debut last July (7f, good to firm) but that was followed by two lacklustre efforts (gelded before latest); back down in trip for his reappearance and goes in blinkers for the first time. |
12/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form in qualifying runs and two nurseries, but it may be encouraging that his best form in the latter sphere came when second over C&D (good to firm) in July; has been racing freely so a gelding operation may have helped too. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Didn't look progressive in his qualifying races over 6f but was only a length away on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) and he was keen enough in that race; only 1lb higher and there's every chance he'll settle better this afternoon. |
