17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Tried in Listed/Group races (no avail) after making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (5f) in April; fair sixth on first start for Charlie Clover in a competitive 6.5f nursery (12-1) at Doncaster's St. Leger Festival; mildly interesting to see what she makes of returning to AW. |

Campaigned over 5f for Karl Burke; drops back in class but doesn't seem to be crying out for this longer trip on debut for new yard; remains with same owner. |

8st 13lb |
Long odds-on when breezing clear on Wolverhampton debut in May; creditable front-running third in Listed event at York (5f, good to firm) next time but she was well below that form in the Queen Mary (Group 2) at Royal Ascot; still early days and now drops back in class but she's not the only pacesetter in this line-up and others are more persuasive. |

9st 8lb |
Application of headgear yielded an upturn in fortunes but she was still springing a surprise when winning the 20-runner £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction at Newmarket (6f; 33-1) in August; failed to stay 7f in Sweden (fourth) latest; current mark looks perfectly fair if taking to AW. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
0-5; ran well to be second in a Ripon nursery (6f; first-time cheekpieces) but that would suggest her current mark is about right and therefore has something to find with the pick of these; now blinkered. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't look to see out a stiff 7f from the front on her nursery debut 12 days ago; has the rail draw if she gets away again in first-time cheekpieces but is starting to look exposed now. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (6f, Polytrack) on his third start but was unable to get involved on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) since; drops 1lb but on that evidence is not on an obviously lenient mark. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signs of ability first two starts but appeared to take a step forward for being gelded, clinging on by a fast-diminishing margin at Lingfield (6f maiden; 11-8 favourite) latest; that form has received a boost but this opening mark isn't a gimme and this stiff track also provides a sterner test. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Developed into a useful performer on AW this winter, reeling off a five-timer (6f) prior to a good third in Listed company (7f); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts and too soon to pigeonhole him as an AW specialist given his two turf runs were on soft ground and early in his career; likely vulnerable off topweight all the same. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Five-race winning spree came to an end when third in Lingfield Listed race (7f, Polytrack) in February and again filled that position in valuable event at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) one week ago; that run can be upgraded (had no cover from a fairly strong wind) and he must be considered with fitness assured. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal. |

5th 12 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be. |

1st 6 (2) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual turf winner (6f) last summer and he's run respectably from the front at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in his last two starts; should benefit from his reappearance run last month and he's still unexposed at this trip; dangerous with cheekpieces reapplied. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made all in a valuable Musselburgh seller (5f, good) in June but has beaten a total of one rival in two 6f nurseries (good to soft/AW); down another 2lb and return to 5f may help, but enough to prove. |

Nice attitude when making all in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 8-13 favourite) in June; given a three-month break thereafter but failed to shine (bumped at the start) on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f; 8-1); now 3lb lower, with a 5lb claimer booked; AW debut; still early days. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries (5f/6f, good/AW) but he's taken backward steps in last two starts and was beaten around 8l at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last week; the slow ground may have been an issue but he needs to resume his progress at this new trip. |
12/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won first two nursery starts (5f/6f, good/AW) and didn't run badly when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last time; needs something extra today but that can't be ruled out; unproven on slow ground. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf. |
7/1 |

8 (2) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took time to get to grips with racing but she's now on an upward trajectory, seemingly relishing the stiff 6f at Leicester (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise means further improvement will need to be forthcoming but she handles Tapeta (Wolverhampton third) and could prove capable. |
