26th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Turf winner at 6f; maiden on AW and below best in two AW handicaps at this trip but he's dropped a few pounds since making his yard debut and remains of interest on autumn form with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

21st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has faced some difficult assignments, latest in Irish sales race; creditable second in all three attempts at maiden/novice level but looks quirky and comes with risk; tongue-tie fitted. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Demoted from first place on 5f Yarmouth debut (soft) after causing interference; seemed wiser to the job at Wetherby (good) next time but his limitations have been exposed in good company twice since; gelded since Royal Ascot and this is more suitable; sets the standard. |

ducked left start, pressed leaders, went second halfway, led and hung left over 1f out, faced challenge and went clear with winner final 110yds, headed towards finish |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Placed twice over 6f this summer then made all for emphatic in 5f Redcar novice a week ago; has 6lb penalty and wide draw to overcome on today's nursery/AW debut but could still take some catching. |

1st 9 (5) |
19th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed at Windsor and Ripon in last two 6f races (good) while shaping as if this drop to 5f will prove ideal; holds leading claims. |

26th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Represents a stable having a fine season with its juveniles and she shaped well when fourth of ten at Windsor (6f, good; 11-1) last month, late headway after running green in rear; could improve a good deal and has to be considered. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
17,000euros yearling, £52,000 2yo; dam a 6f AW 2yo winner (80), herself from a good family; yard in fine form and their turf 2yos are operating at a 25% strike-rate this season; missed a scheduled run at Doncaster on account of soft ground, also Ascot yesterday. |

29th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Five runs as a 2yo, notably a nursery win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last September; sold out of Andrew Balding's stable for 20,000gns in December; still has potential but returns from 317 days off against match-fit opposition; hood worn for first two starts is back on. |
11/2 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
16th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has improved with each start, making a successful nursery debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) ten days ago; 5lb higher and needs to show she can do it back on grass, but her ability to cope with a sharp left-handed track is a positive; shortlisted from a good draw. |

Suffered a poor run from 2f out when last of ten in 7f Wolverhampton nursery 15 days ago; blinkers go on now and he remains with some potential. |

9st 7lb |
Single-figure odds but he's finished a remote sixth over C&D and at Salisbury (6f, both on good) in his two runs this summer; still very early days but can only be watched until he shows more positive signs; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

Some promise on his debut in July (6f, good) but backward steps in two runs since; not bred to need this trip but he makes his nursery debut at a realistic level. |

22-1 in two 6f novice events at Windsor (good) last month; showed some promise when fifth of 13 on his debut but was well below that form last time and others are preferred. |

Seven-race maiden; has had four runs in nurseries off the basement mark, third of nine at Brighton (7f) on latest; could make the frame again but he'll need improvement if he's to notch a first win. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |

Back to winning ways with a front-running 10.3f success in the mud at Chester last September; this course winner will need to return at the top of his game if he is to defy this 4lb higher mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-18, with his solitary second over 7f on soft; ended 2025 with two respectable thirds in October, including over 7f here on good to firm, but first time out has seen two of his best shows, so he needs a second look today. |
9/1 |
|
7 (3) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
17-race maiden but he's well treated on his best form and was a good third of 14 at Brighton (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; this is a different test but he's effective on soft ground and has possibilities back in trip; visor reapplied. |
