24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Hard-pulling filly who's been highly tried a couple of times, latterly when faring as well as could have been expected in a French Listed race on latest outing (that effort didn't help her opening mark); has the toe to utilise stall 2 but will need more off this mark. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Redcar (5f, good to firm) before finishing well down the field in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; commands respect back at this level with a hood added. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made pretty much all to beat her 12 rivals on debut at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago; that form is yet to be properly tested but it's highly likely that it was a moderate race. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a 5f winner and has been campaigned only at that trip; disappointing favourite in nursery most recently, failing to back up his Super Sprint effort; something to prove upped in distance. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ffos Las third under a penalty in novice company has been well advertised since and he showed better form again when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time; trainer 4-12 with 2yos here and this one may yet have more to offer on this stiffer track, so he goes on the shortlist. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first win at Southwell (5f) in January and in good form until only eighth in 5f Chester handicap 23 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |

8th 11 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for a gelding operation, winning a Southwell handicap in January and running well in defeat twice last month (closely matched with Proof on Southwell form); has the inside stall and should make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
0-5 last year, all on turf, but he showed promise and won a handicap at Southwell (5f, AW) in January on his first run since being gelded; close second at Southwell (5f, AW) a fortnight ago and could be thereabouts if the return to grass isn't an issue. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month. |
25/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent at two and his form spiked when winning soft-ground Listed event at Ayr (5f) in September; previously showed he stays 6f and not dismissed on this reappearance/AW debut, albeit easy turf might be more his thing. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improved her record to 4-8 when making all in a Chelmsford nursery (5f, AW) three weeks ago; has a good attitude but she looks fairly exposed now and this is a tough task back up in trip. |

Held off this mark over 6f when bidding for a turf four-timer but remains of interest returned to shorter, being 3-3 in 5f handicaps. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 as a 2yo for Richard Fahey, albeit having made the frame six times; changed hands for 20,000gns in the autumn and was subsequently gelding; reappears on a workable mark; market may guide. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-7 but has often run well, finishing a close third in a nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in August and returning to form when third in a maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) last time; might not be far away. |
7/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Came up well short in competitive nursery last time; reasonably consistent otherwise and holds place claims in this field; more exposed than his rivals, admittedly. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thoroughly exposed but he is a reliable sort and comes here on the back of two good nursery efforts (5f); returning to 6f in his favour; just held by Carnation Queen on their York run in June but still high on the list. |
9/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Record is only 1-10, the success in a maiden; however, creditable second in Thirsk nursery (5f) last Saturday and may remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
10 (10) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Found the ideal opening when landing a Beverley maiden (5f, good to firm) in July but he was last of seven back in a nursery there two weeks ago; that took his record to 1-9 and others are more convincing. |
