7th 9 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago, so his losing run continues, but he was in good heart previously and kept on well when making the frame at Ayr (7f, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good); this first crack at 1m is worth a go and he's not ruled out each-way. |
33/1 |
|
9th 2 (12) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (6f) who has been running well in defeat lately having fallen down the weights, as when third of nine at Carlisle (7f, good) three weeks ago; losing run now up to 16, though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still 3lb lower than when second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, but losing run up to 15 and he does seem best at shorter. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
He's failed to shine on both starts this season but is on a handy mark on last season's best form and is likely to get back on track sooner or later; today's drop back in grade could help in that regard. |
10/1 |
|
10th 10 (12) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has the ability to take a serious hand but he ran well below market expectations in this race last year and another reappearance duck egg doesn't augur well; has shown peak form in autumn months. |
22/1 |
|
11th 5 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Capable of being involved but is by no means certain to shine in this spring reappearance, having shown his best handicap form in autumn months; the market signals may offer further guidance. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Holds modest claims on his 7f efforts and consequently needs improvement for this drop in distance. |

50,000euros yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Shobrom (Qatar 5f/6f; RPR 100) and Rhythm (5f/6f including 2yo/AW; 82); dam placed 7f 2yo (48), sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Prolific; already gelded; the market can guide. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
13th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price. |
40/1 |
|
2 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
From major yard but may be one for the longer term, having shown no immediate promise at York (6f, soft; never figured) last week. |
13/2 |
|
11th 2 (15) |
13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
78,000gns foal; by Kodiac and the first foal of a maiden daughter of half-sister to 7f-1m Group 1 winner Sky Lantern; one of two newcomers for the yard; market instructive. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No progress in sprint races on very slow turf but gives the impression this sharper test will suit on AW/handicap debut now back at 5f; open to improvement in the new scenario and has possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
7th 14 (9) |
20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Both starts over 5f; unplaced favourite at Beverley (soft) latest but ties in with The Bobster on that effort; however, doesn't shape as if she's crying out for 6f yet. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
2-4 since returned to turf in April, the latter win gained at Catterick (7f, good for firm) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb higher here if Conor Whiteley's reduced claim is considered but ought to go well again. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Winner over 7f at Musselburgh in April (good) and sound run back up to 1m there last time (good); below par tried in cheekpieces in between; can be involved. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Backed when winning over 7f here in April (good) and first-time cheekpieces perhaps backfired at Doncaster; those aids are now left off but has stamina to prove over this far. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Thrice-raced filly whose form suggests she'll find easier opportunities when switched to handicaps; opposed. |
33/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to back and comfortably held in two runs over 7f; needs to brush things up at the stalls down to 6f and may be one for handicaps after this. |
25/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
26th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
22-1 and just minor promise in a 7f fillies' novice at Ayr seven weeks ago (good to soft); bred to do better but such progress is a necessity. |

25th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark on AW debut when landing a C&D handicap in September; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) next time and he had an excuse in tough conditions at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in final run in the autumn; that was a major blip but he's had a break since and could bounce back with a big run on his return. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark on his first go on the AW in 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last month; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) latest and he probably acts on soft; seriously considered in this weak race. |
