20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
The winner of four of her six starts, notably a dominant effort in a Class 3 handicap at Goodwood four weeks ago; ran poorly behind Rumstar in a Group 3 at Sandown on her penultimate start but that run shouldn't be used as the evidence she can't make her mark at this level. |

1st 5 (4) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Successful debut over 6f but improved form at 5f since, winning her first two starts at the trip (AW/good) before going out like a light in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; had earlier been taken out of a race on the latter ground and presumably wouldn't want it to dry out much; remains of interest, though. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
The winner of three of her four races, the latest a C&D handicap ten weeks ago; not fully exposed but this is a very different test of her credentials. |

31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved with each of first three starts but his free-going tendencies cost him on handicap debut at Newbury; this trip makes him of more interest even though an easy lead won't be there for the taking. |
7/1 |

7th 9 (11) |
16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Has got better with each run and from the front he beat all bar a promising newcomer at Windsor (6f, good to firm; second run in a hood); looks the type to pay his way in handicaps. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Versatile sort who scored over 5f/6f (turf/AW) last term and ran well over 7f at Meydan in February; however, the assessor has not cut him much slack and he returned from a break with a laboured effort at Chester (first run since gelded) three weeks ago; down the list. |

Versatile sort who scored over 5f/6f on turf/AW last term and ran well over 7f at Meydan most recently; gelded since; however, the assessor is cutting him no slack at all. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close over C&D (good) last September on final run for Tom Clover and now 3lb lower; David O'Meara should find the key to him at some point but he's been below his best on his first three runs for the yard. |
5/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best in two runs for David O'Meara but on good to soft ground; possible this return to a faster surface will help and he's undoubtedly well handicapped if it does; waters muddied slightly by the stable also having Veblen Good in the race. |
4/1 |

13th 1 (15) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a good second at Newmarket (6f, good), after which he changed hands for 50,000gns; only eighth (of 19) on his stable debut at Doncaster 18 days ago but he wasn't well drawn as things panned out and he ran as though the run would bring him on; remains a sprinter of interest. |

15th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some improvement from debut but no telling impression when fifth of seven at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; switches to AW (brother Lesson Learned won on sand) seeking more. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Cost £88,000 as a yearling but he was a weak 20-1 shot at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and finished a remote eighth of 11; can only be watched after that low-key start. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 3yo who landed a good prize for Jay Mackay over C&D (good) in June and was also on target at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal from the inside stall. |
7/4 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Got up on the line in apprentice race at Chepstow (soft) on Tuesday to complete a 7f double; back up in grade but escapes a penalty; fighting chance off the same mark. |
7/1 |
|

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo who got off the mark in a blanket finish at Leicester (7f, good) in July; 1lb higher and may have more improvement in him with that win under his belt. |
