23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Never-dangerous fifth at Kempton (1m, AW) on handicap debut earlier in the month and ran respectable when third of 12 at Bath (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces; beaten around 9l) after stumbling leaving the stalls; steps up in distance. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in all four runs including when a never-dangerous fifth on recent nursery debut at Kempton (1m, AW); still early days but he needs improvement with cheekpieces added back on turf. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unable to land a significant blow in three maiden/novice races, the last two over C&D last month, but significant positives can be drawn from his latest run and further progress is possible in nurseries. |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a C&D nursery in November and followed up at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two weeks later; didn't really fire in his next two runs, but he got back on track with a creditable second at Wolverhampton on Tuesday; that was his 12th start but he's been generally progressive on AW and he's in the mix. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m nursery at Chelmsford in November and followed up over C&D the following month; last two starts have been disappointing and he needs a full revival. |
5/1 |

5th 4 (2) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of handicap wins (around 1m) at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton but he beat only one (in a change of headgear) in 1m Chelmsford handicap last time; no surprise to see him bounce back with usual cheekpieces now refitted. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Didn't progress in novice/maiden company (7f-1m1f) but posted a solid effort behind Captain Bruce at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; made the running) on handicap debut three weeks ago; cheekpieces now applied. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't achieve much on his debut when third but beaten 15l at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in August; similarly modest form on his next two starts, latterly when beaten 18 at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; up another furlong and needs to find more on this handicap debut. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Minor promise in his three qualifying runs (7f-1m1f) but ran well when keeping on for second of eight on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) 13 days ago, shaping like this extra distance would suit; has since left Michael Keady (same owner); cheekpieces back on. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dispayed only minor promise in his three qualifying races (7f-1m1f; cheekpieces tried last time) but ought to be a bit more competitive in this low-grade nursery. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 5 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven defeats include four handicaps and she was well held when twice placed; still commands some respect in this modest handicap given she's shown ability and has dropped to a career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Rallied for second behind an easy winner at Kempton (1m, AW) in August; since beaten 15l at Leicester (7f, good) 44 days ago and now steps up to 1m2f on this switch back to AW (dam 1m2f AW winner). |
25/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Daughter of a Polytrack winner who fared better on her nursery debut, upped to 1m and switched to the AW, one month ago; was merely best of the rest behind an easy winner, though, and the drop back in trip/return to turf may not be optimal. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A dual AW scorer at Chelmsford (7f) and Newcastle (1m2f) last autumn; tongue tied when failing to beat a rival on her seasonal return though in 1m Newcastle handicap 19 days ago so has something to prove. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Second of five when upped to 1m at Yarmouth (good to soft) on nursery debut 35 days ago but that form has yet to work out; 80-1, tailed-off last of four when facing a stiff task in 1m2f maiden at Newmarket yesterday; cheekpieces are added for this AW debut and second go at 1m2f. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second in Class 6 nursery at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) last time but recorded a modest RPR, which leaves him with the worst chance on the figures back at maiden level. |
