8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for the switch to nurseries when keeping on for fourth at York two weeks ago (7f, good to firm; hung left); that effort suggested he was ready for 1m and he needs serious consideration on AW debut. |

8st 5lb |
Promising second of 13 on his Redcar debut (6f, good) in June; hasn't built on that over 7f twice since and needs to get back on the up now handicapping. |

2nd 5 (2) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Improved with each of her first three starts, getting off the mark when upped to 7f at Musselburgh last month; good third at Newmarket (6f) 13 days ago; mixed messages for 1m on breeding and likely she needs improvement for the new trip. |
8/1 |

3rd 14 (14) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Steady improvement in maidens, latest at Musselburgh (7f, good) where she overcame traffic issues to score by half a length; unexposed but has a lot to find on ratings in this better race. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
12th 13 (9) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark. |

Improved form when second of 13 on nursery debut at Glorious Goodwood (7f, soft); unable to build on that the next twice (7f/1m, good to firm/AW) but may get back on track when he returns to slow turf. |

slowly into stride, held up in rear, headway and in touch with leaders over 4f out, keeping on 2f out, went second inside final furlong, no match for winner |

8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in a lower-grade nursery here (7f) last month, staying on nicely in a well-run race; fair run at Carlisle last week and he looks ready for 1m; not discounted. |

4th 5 (3) |
31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His form has been up and down but he won at Newcastle (7f, AW) recently on his third nursery start and has also shown promise on turf; can be bang there if on another going day. |

8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer; has shown promise in three runs over shorter, beaten under 4l when the cheekpieces went on at Kempton last month (7f); bred to stay and could have more to come. |
5/1 |
|
5th 10 (9) |

230,000euros yearling; 9-1, he was beaten just over 3l at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) despite getting no cover and running green; could easily improve on that. |
