5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Outran his 100-1 odds when sixth of 24 in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; hooded for the first time); dropped 2lb since and he's a major player in this easier company. |
7/2 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ripon win on 2yo debut (6f, good) and he ran creditably in a Listed race over that C&D two weeks later; neither subsequent start has been comparable and the addition of a hood isn't enough to recommend him this time. |
33/1 |

7 (8) |
16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Impressive on last season's debut (6f, good; strong favourite); third in Listed company a fortnight later but his form dipped at Thirsk when last seen in September; gelded over the winter; should be quick enough to cope with 5f but not obviously well treated; stable also run Loom and Tuscan Point. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Returned to form from a slipping mark when sixth of 11 in 7f handicap at Haydock 33 days ago; one for the shortlist. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
3yo who is 1lb lower than when first past the post over C&D in July (good; demoted due to interference); also effective on soft; down the field at Goodwood and York since but this is less competitive; not written off. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well held in all five starts including two nurseries (5f/7f) in the autumn; gelded since but he needs a transformation back in trip on his return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best effort in four starts when third of seven at Ripon (6f, good) on his penultimate outing, but well held on nursery debut there (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; there is some encouragement for the longer trip and switch to the AW on pedigree. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ended last season with an easy win in a three-runner Leicester novice (6f, heavy) but she's struggled in two sprint handicaps this term; still has low mileage but she needs the return to slow going and fitting of blinkers to have a galvanising effect. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent since winning off current mark over C&D in May; however, holds a fighting chance provided he takes well to new headgear and turns up in top form. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Brighton in May off 1lb lower; back to form when second at Chelmsford 16 days ago (7f); runs off the same mark and shouldn't be far away. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden who was placed in nurseries at Leicester and Chelmsford last autumn when trained by the Quinns; never figured on stable debut/reappearance back at Leicester (1m, good) nine days ago, but he may have come on for it and this is a drop in class. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-7 but he was placed in his final two starts for John and Sean Quinn (1m/1m2f); blinkers now removed and switched back to turf on yard debut having been off for 258 days. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
7th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
ducked right start, took keen hold, prominent, pulled way into lead after 2f, headed over 1f out, lost second post |

8st 13lb |
Struggled at big prices in both his runs and latest was at this track (1m) last week; has lots to find on this return to sprinting and minor handicaps will be more suitable. |
