1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished five places behind Arlington at Ripon 11 days ago but he met trouble in running; beaten only a head at Nottingham (5f, good) earlier in July and a repeat of that form would give him reasonable claims. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running. |

0-17 (placed over 5.5f-7f); acts on soft; below par latest but either of his prior efforts would probably see him get competitive. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Still a maiden but beat all bar one in form over shorter here a month ago and he should shed his maiden status sooner or later. |

Still a maiden but ran encouragingly at Ripon (good) dropped to 5f last time; unexposed at about this distance and on turf; one to consider. |

Off the mark in 8.6f handicap here last April but she's generally struggled since; her reappearance fifth here (7f; hood added) last month was a bit more like it but she's now 1-15 and others are more convincing. |

27th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who appeared to be going the wrong way, but bounced back in the first-time visor when third of nine at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) ten days ago; 1lb lower, but much depends on whether the headgear continues to work. |
7/1 |

17th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has bits of encouraging form but ran badly (finished last of 11) at Newcastle most recently; hopes of shedding his maiden status are pinned on first-time headgear. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

0-7 but some fair runs since switched to Tapeta and from a bad draw he didn't run too badly last time at Kempton (7f); that might be more his trip but he's still considered. |

Ten-race maiden; now 6lb lower than when placed over 5f on turf during the summer but his two AW runs at Chelmsford this autumn were very disappointing; today's headgear switch needs to give him a good boost. |

Well on top at the finish in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; 3lb rise not excessive and cheekpieces could help; will need luck in running back at 6f but he's capable. |

9st 9lb |
Half-sister to three-time Group 1 winner Halfway To Heaven and ten other winners; soundly beaten on both outings since a fairly encouraging debut in September (6f, turf) but makes her nursery debut in a low-grade event and might be aided by a first-time tongue-tie. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Nicely bred but needs to improve on her two turf efforts and may find better opportunities in handicaps shortly; chance depends on how well she takes to AW. |

20th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Half-sister to ten winners, including Irish 1,00 Guineas and Nassau Stakes scorer Halfway To Heaven; 12-1 at Haydock (6f, good) on debut, when showing some promise despite not being seriously involved; should take a step forward; check for any market confidence. |

Justified favouritism, by half a length, in C&D contest last week for a first win since 2024; incurs 5lb penalty but Donagh Murphy claims that amount; remains well treated on historical data anyway; respected, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces. |
