23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden who was beaten a head when 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) last month; third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) next time but he was below his best at Nottingham (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; steps back up trip with headgear removed for his AW debut. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who was turned over at 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) two starts ago, when beaten into second; however, he's since been third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) and that form gives him leading claims; it's possible first-time cheekpieces will be a plus. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo with some good efforts in novice and maiden events (1m and 1m2f), just run out of a Bath event (good to soft) 19 days ago; probably needs a bit more off this mark now handicapping but that's possible. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All six starts on AW, winning 1m2f Chelmsford novice and 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap in the autumn; only fifth at Chelmsford next time but resumed his progression when second of eight over 1m3f at Kempton nine days ago; that appeals as solid form and he's likely to have a big say off the same mark (2lb higher from Saturday) if his stamina holds over this significantly longer trip (pedigree provides hope). |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m2f novice at Chelmsford in October and followed up in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton one month later; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Southwell 12 weeks ago but that was a Class 2; still has low mileage and he commands respect. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Looked in need of the experience when fifth of six on debut over C&D and stepped forward from that when a 4l third of nine at Kempton (1m4f, AW) eight days ago; step back in trip isn't sure to suit but he's open to further improvement. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Both starts over 1m2f, showing promise with third at Ascot in May but disappointing at Chelmsford last month; nicely bred and may yet build on debut effort. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sister to 1m-1m4f Nations Pride (including Group/Grade 1); reported to have hung right when third of ten at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) on debut in May; now switches to AW on her first start since and could have a big say. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose by Qilin Queen (now BHA-rated 105) on debut last August but she's been below that level in four starts this year; cheekpieces (worn last time) are retained on this AW debut; others preferred. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ran to a useful level on her 2yo debut (beaten a nose by a filly now BHA-rated 106) but she hasn't kicked on this year, most recently beaten at odds of 4-9 at Ffos Las (1m, soft); cheekpieces now given a go. |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Inexperience cost her the race at Salisbury last August (1m, good to firm) when nosed out by subsequent Group 2 winner Qilin Queen; flopped when favourite on Haydock reappearance in May but she bounced back with a respectable third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; sets a good standard on her initial form and she's a key player on this drop back in trip. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
60,000gns yearling who didn't show much when last of five at Newcastle (1m, AW) on her debut 27 days ago; much better needed now upped in trip. |

5th 5 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
60,000gns yearling; first foal; dam twice-raced (RPR 64) half-sister to winners Haatheq (smart 7f-1m2f), Farhaan (US 1m Grade 3) and Wid (useful 6f 2yo); represents a powerful stable but she has a useful standard to aim at on debut. |
