26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year. |

7f novice win as 2yo; better form in defeat in handicaps this year, finishing second over 1m1f here (good to firm) before a good third of ten in a traditionally very strong 3yo event at the Newmarket July meeting (1m2f, good) four weeks ago; should go well. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Twice runner-up in seven starts including in a maiden over C&D on her April reappearance, albeit over 7l behind the winner; well held in three handicaps since, finishing last of 14 back here last month; enough to prove. |

Essentially disappointing since finishing runner-up on her second start and when runner-up here in April she was well beaten, as was the case in her subsequent handicaps (1m/7f); bit to prove now. |

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, after which he changed hands for 19,000gns; rain would be a bonus but he did trail home last at Hamilton only last week (1m5f) and has a good bit to prove at 1m. |

Justified market support to make winning handicap debut over C&D (good to soft; from 4lb lower) in February 2025; failed to excel in a hood at Wetherby or Huntingdon (November/December); returns from a four-month break on better ground, which holds few fears; merits respect. |

5th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Clive Cox; well-beaten both previous turf starts last season; favourite for a Newcastle handicap on stable debut on reappearance on first run after being gelded, but finished only seventh to a subsequent winner (1m, tongue-tie on); tongue-tie retained and cheekpieces now tried; a bit to prove. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack for Clive Cox last year; makes his stable/handicap debut (same owners) in a first-time tongue-tie after six months off having been gelded in the meantime; longer trip should suit on breeding and is a half-brother to two multiple course winners; no great surprise if he steps up. |

1m2f AW win April off 2lb lower; mixed bag since but he is a C&D winner on good to soft and a prominent showing would seem likely. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got competitive some way out at Salisbury last time (1m2f, good to firm) and was mugged on the line; respected off 1lb higher, for all that he's yet to prove his stamina for this far. |

2nd 2 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Posted career-best performance when winning on Poytrack at Lingfield (1m2f) in April, after a break, but subsequent turf form has been underwhelming and he's still on a fairly tough mark; cheekpieces refitted in bid to perk him up. |

9st 5lb |
Lightly raced and just about his best run yet when beaten under 3l over 1m4f here last month; ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield since and they are quickly discarded; no shock were he to have a bigger performance in him. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |

10,000euros Dream Ahead half-sister to winners Iznik (French 1m3f; RPR 99) and Under Control (2m-2m3f hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to useful 6.7f winner Digression out of half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Daltaya; has speed and stamina in her pedigree and market should guide on debut. |
