17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Upped 2f for his nursery debut at Kempton last month (1m) and made all to record a wide-margin success; beaten favourite at Chelmsford ten days later and now has a 3lb higher mark to deal with; not fully exposed at the trip though and returning to turf shouldn't be an issue. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Failed to threaten in three 6f races on turf but proved a very different proposition when switched to the AW for nursery debut at Kempton where he made all for an easy success (1m); 5lb well in even with a penalty and he did cost 115,000gns as a yearling. |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Not really threatened in three starts over 6f on turf, but is bred to be better than that and this trip is more in line with his pedigree; market support would be significant on nursery debut. |

Won a 1m Salisbury nursery in first-time blinkers in August but has been tailed off in her last two races; always a chance that another change of headgear could trigger something. |

The only previous winner in this field, having opened her account in Salisbury nursery (1m; first-time blinkers) in August; has failed to back up that form in two starts since, however. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beat two rivals on nursery debut at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) in July and, having been gelded, finished third of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) last month when not taking the home bend too well; won't have the same problem here and should go well. |
9/4 |

3 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in his first three starts and only beat two rivals when making a successful nursery debut at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) last month; gelded since and now 3lb higher, but he is still respected for stable that is 6-25 (24%) here in past five seasons. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Pulled hard then folded tamely at Beverley (1m2f) last time, failing to back up his reappearance effort (good second over 9.5f on AW); may benefit from this drop back in trip, combined with change of headgear. |
11/2 |
|
11th 11 (9) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Five-race maiden who ran well, beating all bar the market leader, at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) on seasonal debut; possibilities off same mark, provided he builds on that effort. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Well held in all four runs but he made some late headway after stumbling on his nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 9-2) last August; returns after a lengthy absence but he has some stamina in his good pedigree and needs watching in market at this new trip. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Found a weak soft-ground Chepstow nursery when scrambling home off 3lb lower on his final run last season; different conditions tonight as he returns from nine months off. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Placed for the first time at the sixth attempt when third of five in a Salisbury nursery on Friday, but still finished around 12l behind the winner; plenty to find with Torbay on previous Kempton running (1m, AW) and best to look elsewhere. |
4/1 |
|
5 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
His close fifth of seven at Southwell (7f; nursery debut) offered hope and the blinkers he tried at Kempton are soon dispensed with; on the Southwell run he's a possible contender. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven defeats include four handicaps and she was well held when twice placed; still commands some respect in this modest handicap given she's shown ability and has dropped to a career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Rallied for second behind an easy winner at Kempton (1m, AW) in August; since beaten 15l at Leicester (7f, good) 44 days ago and now steps up to 1m2f on this switch back to AW (dam 1m2f AW winner). |
25/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Daughter of a Polytrack winner who fared better on her nursery debut, upped to 1m and switched to the AW, one month ago; was merely best of the rest behind an easy winner, though, and the drop back in trip/return to turf may not be optimal. |

9st 0lb |
Always behind when 50-1 for seasonal debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; Panthere Noir third) one week ago; needs to have taken considerable benefit from that outing. |
50/1 |
|
11th 15 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Well held in four starts last summer (6f-1m), latterly on his nursery/AW debut; would want to see some support this time back from such a layoff. |
40/1 |
|
7 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten upwards of 13l in three starts over 6f/7f on turf; open to improvement on nursery debut, but it will certainly be needed. |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Weakened into fifth on last week's nursery debut here (1m; blinkered first time) but he shaped much better than that, ultimately paying the price for trying to match strides with the easy winner; drops back to 7f and remains capable of better. |
8/1 |
|
8 (3) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has beaten a total of one rival in three starts over 5f-6f on turf; gelded since last seen and blinkers given a go, but a big transformation is needed stepping up another 2f in trip on nursery debut. |
10/1 |
|
8 (3) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Sands Of Mali colt has offered little in 5f Beverley novice and 5.5f Bath maiden this spring; significantly more is required. |
