18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back. |
25/1 |

11th 5 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner at 2yrs for Peter Chapple-Hyam; also scored three times in France/Italy in 2025 (signed off with 5f Listed success in Milan); since gelded and he can't be ruled out now starting out with Archie Watson. |
8/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Kept improving as a 2yo, dropping to 5f for two wins in the mud in the autumn; had excuses at Sandown (good ground and drawn widest) on handicap/seasonal debut and may still have untapped potential; could have a say, especially if there's been plenty of rain. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield. |
8/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Hinted at a revival in latest start and is attractively treated assuming he builds on that effort; gained sole handicap success off 5lb higher (in 2024). |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-25; won from 3lb higher at York (6f, good) last May, and also went close (runner-up) back there in July; pestered for the lead, weakening late, when fourth on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; 15-8 favourite; form franked); now 2lb lower and with Jack Nicholls back aboard; chance. |

4th 4 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who goes well fresh; 1lb lower than when seeing off 19 rivals at York last May (6f, good); should be in the thick of the action. |
5/1 |

11 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice in May and also ran well at York in July (6f, good to firm; 12lb better off with Aberama Gold for a neck defeat); quiet since then, however, and others have more persuasive claims. |

8st 12lb |
Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back. |

Won two in a row (6f maiden/5f nursery) in August but not in quite the same form since, fading when fourth of seven at Newcastle 16 days ago; having her 18th run and looks exposed. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A dual 7f winner last August and she made an encouraging return when fifth in 7f Kempton handicap in March; this course winner needs considering. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Ffos Las winner over this trip last August who resumes on a workable mark having lost her way latterly; nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh and she'll need to improve on previous AW efforts. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, finishing down the field again at Thirsk (Tees Aggregates several places ahead of her) 12 days ago; needs to rediscover her spark. |

12th 16 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, last of 17 at Musselburgh on latest outing; needs to rediscover her spark. |
33/1 |

12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
She's dropped back down to a dangerous mark but she struggled on her final three starts last season and did likewise on her reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago; a major turnaround is necessary. |
16/1 |
Verdict
Heavy ground prompted an improved performance from SOUTH PARADE when she was third in a Beverley novice last month, and this attractively bred filly earns the vote on her nursery debut. Leicester winner Cypriot Diaspora has a progressive profile and is second choice ahead of the unexposed Beverley maiden winner Rogue Enforcer.[Ben Hutton]
