6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Steadily progressive on turf and AW; prevailed at Wolverhampton (7f) on seasonal debut, making it three wins from his last six races; up only another 2lb and there's the possibility of further improvement; respected. |

Steadily progressive on turf, winning three times; good second at Yarmouth (7f) when last seen; may continue to improve this term; has bits of encouraging AW form; commands respect. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent juvenile who has performed with credit in all three nursery runs, second to Pietro over C&D last month; 4lb better off with that rival and his dam was effective on soft; should run his race again. |
7/2 |

midfield, in touch with leaders after 3f, headway and went second over 1f out, hung left and lost second inside final furlong, soon no extra |

Fair maiden who came clear of the rest when a good second of eight in 7f Epsom nursery ten days ago; must enter calculations back in maiden company. |

21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Middle-distance bred gelding; made encouraging nursery debut when keeping on well from the rear for third at Epsom (7f, good) last month, and his outside draw may not be a significant disadvantage if patient tactics are planned again here. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Modest form in three novice runs; he's been gelded since and could take a step forward but such progress is a must. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistency seems far less evident in the last year or so but one trend has developed, as he's 3-13 on AW compared to 0-11 on turf; AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call here. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dead-heated off 1lb higher at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last April but he's not easy to predict and has finished down the field in his last four starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but others are more convincing. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Has won at 1m but last two wins have been over 1m4f and his form can be up and down. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Began her career with two good efforts but her progress has stalled and she's found it tough going in nurseries; down in class this time and the addition of a visor could give her a lift. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't progressed, again finishing comfortably held on her first crack at this trip last time; doesn't make obvious appeal on her AW debut from a wide stall. |
25/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in her first two starts but two lesser efforts have followed, most recently when switched to nursery company at Windsor; hopes pinned on the step up in distance sparking a revival. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |
9/4 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took nine races to win for Brian Meehan (on soft at Bath); 0-6 for current yard and was kept to the AW until finishing well behind at Newmarket; now has a further tweak in his headgear. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nicely treated on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston (consistency was an issue) but didn't shine in subsequent short spells with Alice Haynes and Lemos De Souza; never figured when ninth at Lingfield (1m, AW; stays further) on her debut for this yard last month. |
40/1 |
|
9th 11 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston but finished down the field on last three outings, once for Alice Haynes and twice for Lemos De Souza; now with another new stable; too risky. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (7) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Defied a higher mark at Southwell in 2024 but is far from sure to be in the same form; rank outsider when never dangerous at Lingfield on stable debut last time. |

Fair early 2yo who's gone backwards; finished tailed off on her comeback and is tried in another new form of headgear, going beyond 7f for the first time. |
