7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won debut at Ascot (5f, soft) in sole 2yo start; missed 2024 but made a respectable return at Ripon, only to find the tough 6f on Newcastle AW stretching him in August; has potential back at 5f on handicap debut. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (soft) in May 2023; didn't return to the track until this month but he showed promise again when third at Ripon (5f, good); entitled to be sharper for the run and bold show looks assured now stepping up to 6f. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
55,000gns Land Force colt who made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (5f, soft) in May 2023; been on the sidelines since then but he recorded an RPR of 86 on his debut and needs a close look on his comeback. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Easily won three-runner novice on debut at Windsor (5f, soft) and good second at Ascot (5f, soft) next time; down the field in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to firm) most recently but he's likely to be back on a slow surface for this first nursery start and could play a leading role. |

10th 6 (11) |
2nd Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortably beat his two rivals at Windsor, then finished second of five at Ascot; both were over 5f on soft; faces a different scenario and bigger field this time but he's a big player on RPRs. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
0-16 since winning in June 2023 on his second start but short-headed at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on his stable and seasonal debut and posted another good second at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; he's on the shortlist. |

2nd 4 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't progress for Richard Hannon but, having dropped in the weights, he went desperately close to making a winning debut for Tim Easterby three weeks ago, staying on strongly at Thirsk (7f, good); 1lb higher today but he attained a BHA rating of 106 in his pomp; contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of just one of his 16 starts for Richard Hannon but he was often highly tried; unplaced in six runs in 2025 but that resulted in his handicap mark dropping 17lb; sold for 24,000gns in October; one of two making their debut for Tim Easterby. |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
At 625,000gns he was the joint top-priced lot at the Craven Breeze-Up Sale; failed to justify favouritism (8-13) on soft ground at Ascot but he was only beaten 2l and, if taking after his sire Blue Point, this ground will be more up his street. |

13th May 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
110,000gns foal, 625,000gns (joint top-priced lot at Craven Breeze Up Sale) 2yo; Blue Point half-brother to 7f 2yo winner Ludo's Landing, out of 6f 2yo winner (including Group 3); sire, in his racing days, had a great record (5-6) at Ascot and yard has a good record in this race; respected. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden whose best efforts have come on AW; latest Lingfield third (6f, good to firm) wasn't too bad but he will need more to come out on top here. |

3rd 2 (1) |
8th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

pressed leader, hung left under 2f out, went second over 1f out, lost second inside final furlong, weakened towards finish |

9th 8 (8) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 but second or third four times, including when third of six on last month's Lingfield return (6f, AW; first start since being gelded); each-way claims if stepping forward for the run and responding positively to the blinkers. |

13th May 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
21,000gns foal, £200,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; Havana Grey half-brother to four winners, notably fairly useful pair Born To Finish (5.7f-7f) and Mark Of Respect (1m including 2yo/Bahrain); one of several interesting newcomers. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back nearly a year but he might have won over C&D last July but for being hampered and is on a handy mark now; a recent Tapeta run (hood left off, now refitted) suggests a good run is imminent. |

5th 6 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can miss the break and/or pull hard; has performed okay in two runs after a break and each-way claims should he give himself a chance. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Bit unlucky not to win more than once last year and made a fair comeback at Southwell recently; can fluff the start and/or pull hard, however, and it's easy to argue he's more effective over 5f now. |
