9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three Flat wins for Michael Bell (at up to 1m6f, peak winning RPR 75); bought for 43,000gns last October; needs a close watch in the market ahead of hurdling/stable debut after nine months off. |

8st 13lb |
No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

9st 5lb |
Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Placed in both Flat outings this year, beaten only narrowly returned to AW latest; has form figures of 221 over C&D; solid claims. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time AW winner (including on Tapeta) who was fit from hurdling when a close third at Doncaster (1m6f) in July; not at his best over hurdles three weeks ago but lost a shoe and he could be thereabouts today. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has run some fair races on the Flat for Andrew Balding and over hurdles since joining this yard, but is 0-14 under rules; drops in class for this return to the level, but others still look more solid. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 |
24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Another personal best hurdling RPR last time when about 7l fourth in a Perth handicap (2m, good to soft), though a bit surprising he didn't hit the line more strongly given he stays at least 1m5f on the Flat; further to travel returned to maiden company this evening. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 |
1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed some fair form on the Flat for Andrew Balding and seemed to be getting his act together over hurdles when keeping-on third in Stratford maiden (2m, good) last month; open to more improvement in handicaps and top amateur James King is booked today; unraced on ground slower than good. |

Backed out of contention rather quickly the last twice and several others are higher on the list; visor the headgear of choice. |

Doesn't win very often but is usually there or thereabouts; fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) five weeks ago not amongst her best efforts and better will be required. |
