11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Never dangerous when a well-held seventh of eight on Southwell debut (5f, AW; 18-1) last month; should know more this time but she needs a transformation upped in trip. |
33/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ninth foal; sister to 10.6f AW winner Selador (RPR 86), half-sister to winners Brutal (1m 2yo, 108; 2m hurdle), God Of Fire (9.4f-1m3f including AW; 94) and Grand Canal (1m2f-1m7f; 81); dam 1m winner (87); bred to need more of a test and only of interest if backed. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Looks on a tough mark but dropping to 5f could be beneficial and she's not fully exposed just yet. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs but she ran well to a point with hood added when sixth of 13 here (6f) last time; that was an encouraging effort at a massive price and she could get involved if she can build on that on nursery debut. |
12/1 |

10 (7) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off on Nottingham debut (6f) last month and was beaten around 8l when fifth of eight at Southwell (5f) last time; has plenty to find back up in trip and nurseries will be more suitable; hood added. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three fair efforts in sprint maiden/novice events; going back over 6f should be in her favour and she could take a step forward now handicapping. |
8/1 |
|
4 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Encouraging debut when third of eight here (5f) and could easily have finished closer; soft ground perhaps to blame when failing to build on that at Yarmouth. |

|
4 (5) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
26,000gns yearling; 11-1 and it was an encouraging debut when third of eight, despite hitting traffic, at Southwell (5f, AW) 23 days ago; shaped like she'd get further that day and not ruled out upped to 6f for this turf debut. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Wide-margin winner of 5f Southwell maiden on second start and soft ground may not have suited next time, but she found little on her handicap debut over C&D in November (3-1) which leaves a question mark hanging. |
8/1 |
|
2 (5) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising second over C&D on her debut (good to firm) last month and she was unextended to win a 5f maiden at Southwell 11 days later; strong contender despite the 7lb penalty and slower ground. |
4/5 |
|
4 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Useful pedigree and she made a promising start to her career when chasing home the odds-on favourite in a Beverley fillies' novice 11 days ago (5f, good to firm); sets a clear standard and open to improvement so there is a lot to like; yard in fine form too. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Poor form in two 5f runs this summer, the latest on Tapeta 12 days ago; nurseries more suitable after this. |
50/1 |
|
6 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Good sprinting pedigree but she didn't look a winner-in-waiting when last of seven on last month's Nottingham debut (5f, good to soft; very green off the bridle); probably a longer-term prospect. |
33/1 |
|
5 (7) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
First foal; dam 5f winner (including 2yo; RPR 96), half-sister to 5f/6f winner Zamjar, out of 6f 2yo/7f winning half-sister to Group 1 winners Airwave (6f, grandam of dual Guineas winner Churchill) and Jwala (5f); has plenty of speed in pedigree and market should guide on debut. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't progressed at all and beaten in a seller penultimate start, before looking tricky in this new headgear combination at Southwell. |
10/1 |
|
8 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Close fourth at Windsor on debut; has failed to back up that effort and latest defeat came in seller; however, combination of added hood and switch to handicap level may prompt a turnaround. |
7/2 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten just over 1l into fourth on her Windsor debut in July (6f, good) but two lesser efforts have followed; drops in class but with improvement required; connections also run Social Exclusion. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown promise on several occasions, matching her best form on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) latest; more needed to win but looks an each-way player. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three fair efforts on Tapeta to date (dam won six for the yard on that surface, five over 5f), including from the front on comeback four weeks ago; will need improvement if she's to win off this mark on her turf debut. |
25/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Showed promise when placed in two AW runs at 5f and 6f last year but was withdrawn after running loose before the start in two subsequent starts; she clearly has ability if it can be channelled. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
25-1 and never threatened in a 6f fillies' maiden at Newbury last month; has a useful sprinting pedigree and surprising if she couldn't do much better at some point. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
57,000gns foal; first foal of a 5f winner (RPR 84), herself a half-sister to 6f Group 1 winner Donjuan Triumphant; one of two newcomers for the stable. |
