28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 7f novice events (one here) in late 2022 when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; struggled in 2023 and he hasn't been seen since pulling up in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield 664 days ago (for James Owen); plenty to prove on his belated return; first runner for his owner-trainer. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't kicked on from his Ascot win in May (6f, soft) and he was doing all his best work late on behind Dashing Dick at Newmarket 15 days ago (6f); this sharper test doesn't look favourable. |

All turf form on soft ground; opened his account at Ascot in May; below par at Thirsk (again over 6f) since but generally consistent otherwise and may bounce back; placed twice over 7f on AW. |

Eight-race maiden who was claimed out of a seller in July; down the field in three handicaps for new stable (7f-8.3f) and needs to turn a corner; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) replaced by first-time visor. |

Didn't progress for the Barrons; finished out the back in two runs for current stable, but dropped 7lb and soft ground might not have been ideal; not out of this if the return to AW piques his interest. |

9st 2lb |
Solid performance in Haydock handicap (1m2f, soft) last month on second start for new stable, beating Doha who gave the form a big boost when winning at Royal Ascot on Wednesday; has won on good to firm; may be capable of further progress, provided she stays this new trip. |

Ran seven times (in these colours) for the Gosdens, winning twice (1m/1m2f, good to firm/soft); soundly beaten fourth of six on stable and seasonal debut at Redcar (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago but may have needed the run and is not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Unexposed filly who has shown a tendency to race too freely but shaped well when fourth on last month's handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW; first-time hood); should still have more to offer; respected. |

28th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Hinted at ability in three starts over this trip on the AW during the winter; this half-brother to five winners may show improvement now making his handicap/turf debut after three months off. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Couple of similar efforts over 7f at Southwell, showing signs of ability while leaving the impression he'll do better when qualified for handicaps; another supporting role is likely. |
16/1 |
|
7th 9 (6) |
8th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start when 8l sixth of 13 at 12-1 on last month's debut over C&D; there's the risk he'll do the same thing again but it was a promising run in the circumstances and there's plenty of potential in his pedigree; could be a factor if breaking better. |

23rd Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising start in handicaps when a close third at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) ten days ago but she failed to build on that when a well-held third of six there on Friday; still lightly raced but she didn't find a great deal last time and needs to resume her progress. |

Finished down the field at big prices in three novice events, most recently when tenth of 13 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; 80-1) last month; this unexposed filly is a half-sister to a 1m AW winner but she needs a transformation upped to this trip on handicap debut. |

Beaten when falling on stable/hurdle debut in summer 2023 but, following a long layoff, shaped quite well before fading into fifth (not given hard time) at Warwick (2m, good) this month; should build on that effort. |

Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |
