17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
£21,000 yearling; half-brother to winners Kimngrace (5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 98), Tallinski (5f-6.5f including France; 87), Rock Of Estonia (5f-7f including 2yo/Italy; 82) and Baltic State (5f AW; 76); dam 5f AW winner (82); plenty to like on paper and he needs a close look on debut. |

8th 9 (10) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability when fifth in 5f maidens at Beverley on his last two starts (good to firm/soft); doesn't appear straightforward and the return to 6f isn't a guaranteed plus (he's from a family of 5f sprinters) on nursery debut, but the first-time tongue-tie/blinkers could help; not discounted. |
12/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some ability dropped to 5f on his second start when fifth of eight over C&D (good to firm) last month; was only beaten around 3l but he needs more improvement on this return to slow ground. |
10/1 |
|
2 (8) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
25-1 and beaten around 11l when last of six on his debut at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago; speedy pedigree and he can likely do better on this drop down in trip. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer who returned to form to win over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and he followed up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last Saturday, with the front two clear; up 6lb for last time and this is tougher, but he's clearly progressive; key player. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Built on earlier promise this season with a comfortable victory in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; up 5lb but another bold showing is on the cards with Billy Loughnane now up. |
11/8 |

1st 7 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Lacked consistency since handicapping but having Jack Callan taking over won't hurt down 2lb and this mark should be within range; one to consider. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Gained a first win in 5f Southwell novice in November but has failed to kick on, hooded when a hanging sixth of eight in 5f Haydock handicap on his return eight days ago; more is needed. |
33/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all at Southwell (5f, AW) last November on third start then disappointing on nursery debut at Newcastle (5f, AW); however, he could settle better in a first-time hood on this reappearance and is not ruled out. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 6f nursery course nursery in December and also a close second over C&D last month (first run since being gelded); not so good on turf since but better can be expected back on AW. |

7th 7 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Newcastle in December and went close there last time over 5f on his first start since being gelded; steps back up in trip and returns to turf; can make his presence felt. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won a 6f nursery here off 2lb lower late last year; below that level in two runs back and has been gelded since only beating one home down to this trip at Catterick six weeks ago. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in four of his five starts as 2yo but he signed off with a well-held third of four on his handicap debut at Catterick (5f) in October; needs to take a step forward on his seasonal return. |
8/1 |
|
2 (2) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise when third at Pontefract (5f, good) and York (5f, good to firm) in his first two starts before a lesser effort at Carlisle (5f, good to soft); again below his best when third of 12 at Beverley (5f, soft; gelded) following a 110-day break; needs to step forward from that on nursery debut. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two promising runs over 5f for this yard last autumn; stepping up to 6f should be in his favour and he is open to improvement but such progress looks essential if he is to defy this mark. |
20/1 |
|
4 (7) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Trailed throughout when last of seven on debut at Catterick (5f, good) in August when trained by Danny Brooke; much sharper when second of 12 at Beverley (5f, soft; 200-1) on stable debut and should go close judged on that. |
4/1 |
|
7 (12) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Missed the break and was always behind when a remote last of seven on Catterick debut (5f, good; 200-1) last month; left Danny Brooke since then and is best watched on stable debut. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden who may be better at 5f but he's run some good races this year, including beaten just a nose at Beverley (5f, good to firm) two starts ago, and he might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden after 12 starts but he has gone close in two C&D handicaps (good to firm) this year and to his credit that he nearly got back up three weeks ago, in this headgear combination; in the thick of it. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only fourth in handicaps at Redcar and Carlisle on last two starts and needs something extra today if he's to get off the mark at the 12th attempt; however, he went close in a C&D seller (good to firm) last month and perhaps the return to Beverley will prompt a bigger performance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ten-race maiden who wasn't quite at his best when fourth of nine over C&D (good) last week but was in good form previously, coming second at Redcar (7f, good) in May and at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; chance. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Nine-race maiden who is developing into a consistent sort, having made the frame in most starts this term; beaten only a head when favourite at Catterick (6f, good to firm) most recently; holds solid claims and his turn may be near. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-8 but has made the frame in three of his four starts at Redcar this term; knocking on the door and cheekpieces return replacing blinkers; should not be far away. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Well beaten at Redcar this spring in first two handicaps (6f/1m, good to firm/good) and a transformation is needed; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
50/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Showed little in three runs last term and fared no better for a switch to handicaps with cheekpieces added when last of seven on 6f course reappearance (good to firm) 17 days ago; it remains to be seen whether a 2f longer trip makes any difference. |
25/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Showed little in three runs last term; sports first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut; best watched unless the market speaks. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

23,000gns foal, 10,000gns breeze-up 2yo; third foal; half-sister to 7f AW/7.4f turf 2yo winner Liberty Bird (RPR 72); dam German 7f Listed winner (95), out of maiden half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Screen Star (dam of Cheveley Park winner Lumiere); sire A'Ali should inject some speed into the mix and she needs checking in market on debut. |
