1st 4 (1) |
31st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Confirmed the promise of his Wolverhampton debut last month by winning a 1m novice at Newcastle 19 days ago, asserting his superiority in the final 110 yards; likely to stay further in time but he's still one to take seriously under his penalty. |
9/2 |
1st 3 (8) |
12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well-related 125,000gns yearling whose yard boasts a decent record here; shaped with a deal of promise on his Wolverhampton debut a month ago and will have learned plenty from that; high on the shortlist. |
3/1 |
3rd 5 (2) |
13th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
125,000gns yearling; brother to 1m2f AW winner Poetic Legacy (RPR 62), half-brother to six winners including Dylan Mouth (8.5f-1m6f including at two/Italian Group 1; 116) and Henry Mouth (10.5f/1m4f including Italian Listed; 108); dam 7f-1m3f winner (including 1m2f Group 3; 107); appealing pedigree and stable can get them ready first time; interesting to see how he fares in the market. |

2nd 10 (4) |
31st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Good start to his career when second of seven at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) seven weeks ago, not given a hard time close home; finished just over one length in front of Imperial Ace on that occasion and 7lb better off today; will stay further in time but he still looks to hold leading claims. |
2/1 |
2nd 9 (7) |
13th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
110,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Amazonie (1m-1m2f including 2yo/AW Listed; RPR 103), Sejo (9.7f/10.5f; 94) and Midnight Train (1m/1m2f; 70); dam 1m1f/9.5f AW winner (90), half-sister to 10.5f Group 3 winner Skia; Derby entry and enough to like on pedigree for stable that can get them ready first time; market useful. |

3rd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Ran poorly on his debut four weeks ago but showed that running to be all wrong when staying on well to win a C&D novice 11 days ago; can do better and is more appealing than many. |
4/1 |
1st 11 (5) |
20th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Ended up beaten a long way in a Wolverhampton maiden 17 days ago (extended 1m1f); should do better at some point but not easily recommended. |

2nd Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Performed with credit when in the frame three times (1m/9.5f) in January/February and he presumably failed to stay when a remote last of four over 1m4f at Southwell last week; this test is more suitable; first-time visor replaces eyeshield/blinkers combination he's worn lately. |
8/1 |
4th 2 (2) |
21st Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

12/1 |
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Signs of improvement in handicaps when on the heels of the principals over 1m at Kempton in January; was out of his depth in a Southwell novice last week (made running) but stamina still to prove back in a handicap, having been well beaten over 1m2f on debut for yard in December. |

31st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Midfield in one run for Clive Cox last year but took a big step forward to win his stable debut at Newcastle five weeks ago (1m), staying on strongly in the closing stages; there was market support for him on that occasion and he remains capable of better, for all that such progress will be needed giving a lot of weight to his rivals. |
15/2 |
1st 3 (5) |
28th Dec 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

His Windsor debut in October (1m, good) wasn't without promise; sold out of the Clive Cox yard for 25,000gns later that month; should have more to come. |

5th 5 (4) |

Promise on debut (7f) and confirmed that with a good second at Lingfield four weeks ago (1m), hitting the front inside the final furlong but having no answer to the late thrust of Mohatu (winner off a BHA mark of 77 since); should be bang there once again. |

13th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has shown ability in two of his three novices, including when second of seven here (6f) last month; return to this trip shouldn't be a problem on handicap debut and respected with a tongue-tie now given a go. |

31st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Prominent in the betting ahead of his debut here last month (7f; wore cheekpieces which are absent today) and shaped better than the bare result in fourth; more to come but perhaps one for further down the line. |

3rd Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Caught the eye of the stewards on second start (first for this yard) at Southwell in January; well beaten over 1m twice since but he moves into handicaps with some untapped potential; one to note for market confidence. |
16/1 |
9th 7 (5) |
31st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Likely he is better than we have seen in his three runs but he has 14l to find with Regal Empire on a recent C&D run and handicaps are more likely to be his thing when allocated a mark. |
40/1 |
9th 3 (10) |
20th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Modest form in two 5f runs, including on his stable debut here 19 days ago when his performance attracted the attention of the stewards; likely there is plenty more in the tank and there is encouragement for 1m on paper. |
