25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Completed a double off 4lb higher at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last June but he's been well held in three runs this season; seems versatile regarding ground and tactics but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

3rd 3 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
At his best this time last year and is now 2lb lower than when last successful; well held in two runs back this spring, however, and didn't shine in two previous starts here, so has a bit to prove back from six weeks off. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |
13/2 |

2nd 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Has returned to AW for two starts this year, better effort when runner-up on reappearance; has gained both turf wins at Windsor but is attractively treated off current mark; could go well. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner who lacks a recent run but he's consistent in the main and not handicapped out of it; market could be informative. |
4/1 |
|

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple wins include this race in 2023 and three over 5f in 2025 (ground ranging from good to soft); holding his form well and, although 2lb higher than a recent Musselburgh defeat by Vince L'Amour, he looks very likely to be involved back here. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two encouraging runs in France and she ran out the ready winner of a 7f novice at Salisbury (soft) on her stable debut two weeks ago; not obviously thrown in on that form but she did travel strongly and could have more to come as a sprinter; interesting. |
9/4 |

1st 8 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
200,000euros yearling who's a half-sister to Fearless Bay (0-6 on turf; 4-6 on the AW); not seen in seven months since finishing second in a Polytrack maiden for Jean-Claude Rouget at Deauville last winter; the market will doubtless tell a tale. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-21 but regularly running to an RPR in the 70s over the winter; form has dipped more recently but he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and could have a big run in him from the inside stall. |
9/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
20-race maiden; not beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor in July (5f, good to firm), but soundly beaten last two starts; now tried in blinkers (fair effort in first-time visor); others stronger. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
19-race maiden; several near misses on AW over the winter; well beaten at Wolverhampton last time and others look safer. |
