15th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Brother to the yard's useful sprinter Khaadem who's performed to a similar level in two starts on the AW; was said to have run green last time and it may be in handicaps after today that he makes his mark. |

17th Apr 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
18-1 when eighth of 11 on his Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; should improve, but his classy pedigree suggests that shorter trips may suit him better. |
14/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
4th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Brother to winners Khaadem (5f-6f including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 119), Log Out Island (6f Listed and 5f 2yo; 112) and Moqadama (Canadian 1m1f AW); dam 5f 2yo/6f winner (70), half-sister to 6f Listed winner Lady Links; attractively bred and stable can get them ready first time, though his speedy pedigree suggests this trip may stretch him on debut; market useful. |

7th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Unable to justify warm favouritism when only fourth of eight on last month's handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) but remains unexposed and may benefit from combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces. |

15th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Brother to Tapeta winner Social Contract and half-brother to two other AW winners; gelded since last seen; didn't build on a fair AW debut in one more run last year but that may have been down to the heavy ground and he should do much better. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close second in a 6f course classified last month but not in the same form at Southwell twice since, taking her record to 2-39; Liam Bailey in form but others are still preferred |
12/1 |

11th 6 (12) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner two years ago but that remains her last success; close second at this level at Newcastle last month (6f) but faded into sixth over C&D a fortnight ago; capable of a prominent showing. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D fillies' handicap in March 2024; hasn't won since, but was a creditable second in a 6f classified at Newcastle last week; has an each-way chance back up in trip. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won low-grade Flat handicap in 2023 and placed in juvenile hurdle later that year; back from long absence with respectable second of six on point debut at Dalton Park (2m6f, good) in March and has possibilities here if that run brought him on. |

20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when upped to 1m at Redcar (good) last month; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn at Doncaster seven days later (4-1 at the time); has shown some promise on soft ground here and this 3yo is a strong candidate if repeating the Redcar form. |

8th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who showed signs of ability on turf last May/June but she twice finished well beaten at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) at the end of last year and needs to raise her game in first-time headgear. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Big prices and no improvement for the switch to handicaps the last twice; dropping down the weights and still has low mileage but others look much safer. |
33/1 |

10th 6 |
23rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest form in his four starts, failing to improve for the drop to 5f/switch to handicaps at Newcastle six weeks ago; others more persuasive. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well beaten at big odds on all three starts in May/June (7f/6f) but he showed some ability and his dam was a 5f winner; makes handicap debut off lowly mark and he's one to watch in the betting. |

120,000gns yearling who went for 32,000gns in February; trainer's newcomers are quite capable of going well; the market will likely tell a tale. |

7th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Left May's debut run (7f, good) behind when winning at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) last month; carries a 7lb penalty in this warm race and further improvement is needed, but he's not ruled out. |

13th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
100,000gns yearling; well connected but was a well-adrift eighth of ten on 7f Catterick debut last month (8-1); should know more this time but guesswork involved as to how much more. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not shown a great deal (well beaten over 1m2f on heavy last time); now up in trip with blinkers tried and on a career-low mark; stable in fine form and a possible improver. |
22/1 |

24th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Struggled at big prices in three maiden/novice events (6f/7f) and was the last of the five on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m); out of a 5f winner so probably raised in trip more in hope than expectation. |
