12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Cost 60,000gns at the breeze-ups but he didn't offer much over 6f here (debut) in June, and fared even less favourably at Newbury (6.5f, good; 11th of 13, beaten 34l; first run as a gelding) a fortnight ago; blinkers now applied; risky. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
60,000gns breeze-up 2yo; late foal who faded into ninth of ten in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; 17-2) in June and has since been gelded. |

50,000gns yearling, 60,000gns breeze-up 2yo by Ardad; fifth foal; brother to 6f 2yo winner Najat (RPR 83); dam 1m4f AW winner (97) out of 7.5f/1m winner; late foal but from a leading yard and needs a market check. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January (7f; visored first time) and that in spite of pulling hard; again failed to settle when fifth of nine back at Wolverhampton eight weeks ago; still has time to do better. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Pulled hard in a first-time visor (retained) 18 days ago, so it was encouraging that he saw things out so strongly to win that C&D handicap debut; a 4lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him, particularly if he is a bit more tractable through the early stages this time. |
3/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten around 30l when tenth of 13 on last August's Newbury debut (6.5f, good; backed into 10-1); gelded since and his pedigree offers hope of much better at some stage; refused to enter the stalls here last month. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden form stacks up nicely; seemingly outstayed over 1m, albeit wasn't disgraced, when favourite for Newmarket event (good) on handicap debut; gelded since; interesting back down in distance. |
7/2 |
|
5 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) on second start then filled the same position in a first-time hood (retained) at Newbury (6.5f, good), behind an easy winner who then went close in the Mill Reef; begins handicap life on a fair mark and this 420,000gns yearling may have more left in the tank. |
3/1 |
|
3 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
420,000gns yearling; showed promise at Ascot (6f, good) and built on that when second of ten in a maiden at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 18 days later; looked in charge 1f out in the latter and now has a first-time hood and step back in trip; one of the top three candidates on form. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in all his four starts, including on his handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last month when fitted with cheekpieces; lots more is needed on his first try on Tapeta. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (7) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has failed to get competitive in three races but this switch to handicap level and fitting of headgear are possible sources of improvement; the betting may offer extra guidance. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |

38,000euros foal, 10,000gns yearling by Earthlight; first foal; dam 1m1f/1m2f winner (RPR 99), half-sister to 7f winner Stateos, out of maiden half-sister to 1m2f 2yo Group 1 winner Linda's Lad; trainer has had very few 2yo runners this season but one of them won at Bath (28-1) on debut. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Showed useful form over 6.5f and 6f at Newbury (good/good to soft) last season, winning a maiden by sizeable margin then clear second in the Mill Reef (Group 2; hung left; collared near the finish); good prospect for Jim Boyle this term but doesn't appear to be crying out for 1m. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Belied his 80-1 odds with emphatic success from the front, ahead of rivals who were strung out like jumpers, in Newbury maiden (6.5f, good) last month; subsequently bought into by Doreen Tabor and supplemented for this prize at a cost of £6,250; very promising. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |

25,000gns yearling; third foal; Starman half-brother to 7f winner Sedgemoor (RPR 83); dam 5f 2yo winner (94) out of unraced half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Toronado; trainer has had one 2yo win (2024) in last five seasons. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Single-figure price for Newbury debut (6.5f) for Jack Channon last August but ran poorly and has since been gelded; changed hands for 5,000gns in February; likely best watched unless there's good support. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to score but he's been in the frame all four starts and ran well when second at Newbury (1m, good) on his handicap debut 12 days ago; made his bid on a part of the track that was possibly unfavoured that day and looks sure to make his presence felt again. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Made the frame at Newbury (6.5f/7f) in both 2yo starts and went down by only a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on reappearance; fairly solid handicap debutant, assuming he stays the new trip. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Both starts on turf, promising third over 7f at Newmarket then only a modest fourth (disappointing favourite) over 6.5f at Newbury; leading player if bouncing back to debut form. |
5/2 |
|
8 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
By St Mark's Basilica out of a well-related 7f/1m 2yo winner (RPR 102); 6-1 for maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and always in touch to finish third of nine, almost on the heels of a short-priced stablemate; enough in that to suggest he's one of the principals in this field. |

3rd 6 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

First foal of a 7f/1m 2yo winner (including Listed; RPR 102), sister to Group-placed 1m winner Queen For You, half-sister to multiple 7f Group 2 winner Glorious Journey, out of Coronation Stakes winner Fallen For You; stable (also runs Al Zanati) has won three of the last ten renewals; a newcomer of note. |

9st 6lb |
Beaten upwards of 11l in three starts on turf (6f/6.5f) last summer; longer trip shouldn't be an issue on breeding and worth a market check on handicap/AW debut after nine months off. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

22-1 for his Ffos Las debut four weeks ago (6f, good), a race where he was outpaced in the closing stages and beaten 13l at the finish; can do better but he will need to. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in four of his five starts on the AW (including over C&D), the latest when beaten under a length by a rival rated 10lb superior in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; relatively exposed but still a major player in this field. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced on his first go in handicaps when seventh at Lingfield (6f, AW) 22 days ago; not out of things back in novice company on his first go over 7f. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten on his debut (6.5f, good) but he has run well in three AW maidens since; moves into handicaps with the potential for rmore but he will need to step forward to defy this mark. |

0-5 but he raised his game when rallying well for a close fourth in a Kempton nursery (1m, AW; 4-1) ten days ago, finishing 3l ahead of Captain Cairney; he's respected back on turf. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten about 7l when third of eight over C&D on last month's nursery debut, but that still goes down as a pretty good effort and now 2lb lower, he has very obvious each-way claims again. |
