7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Nine races in total and three 5f wins this summer, including two nurseries; while the best of that form gives her a place chance, concern arises from a lesser display on sole attempt at 6f and a poor show on latest start. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
2nd Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins from last four starts, the latest a C&D nursery 25 days ago; up in grade again today and latest 5lb rise demands a bit more from her but she might still be improving. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (6f, AW) before going one better to end a lengthy losing run over that same C&D 12 days ago; has won on turf, so the switch to grass is no issue and she's still on a nice mark on her old form following a 4lb rise. |

1st 7 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Placed efforts on her last two starts, latterly behind Asadjumeirah over C&D; may have to make do with more minor money. |

2nd 4 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
It's now 18 runs since her last success but retried in headgear when a solid third of ten in 6f classified event at Thirsk ten days ago; she can't be ruled out in another headgear change. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got involved too soon in the strongly run C&D race won by Ski Angel last time; inconsistent this term but is attractively treated (last two wins off 16lb higher). |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |
3/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |
|
5 (6) |
14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
5 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

18th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded a narrow success in notable seller at York (6f, good to firm) on second start; not in the same form in two nurseries since and still has something to prove at handicap level. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
4th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Left his debut form behind when winning the valuable Rous Seller at York (6f, good to firm) in June but he was disappointing as favourite on his nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; still unexposed but he needs to kick on again on this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
11th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Left April's debut (5f, good to soft) behind when winning the valuable Rous Seller at York (6f, good to firm) last month; could have more to offer and he's respected in his first nursery. |

20th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third of nine at Haydock (6f, good to firm) on her second start in June didn't amount to much given how far she finished behind the winner, and twice well held since, including on nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) 16 days ago; more needed; stable also runs Lyndsanda. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
4th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 7l or more in maiden/novice events, most recently when seventh of eight at York (6f, good) last month; in good hands and still early days but she needs significant improvement back in trip on her nursery debut; stablemate of Bazball. |

Eight-race maiden who isn't progressing and she needs the addition of cheekpieces to give her a lift. |

9th 8 (9) |
3rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

No progress for the switch to nurseries in recent starts; dropping down the weights but with too much to prove for comfort. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Arrives well below par in nurseries, ninth of 13 at Beverley (5f) three weeks ago; in good hands but plenty more is needed despite a falling mark. |
11/1 |
