9st 4lb |
Won three races last season, notably a French 6f Group 3, but well below par both outings this term; carries a penalty and others appeal more. |

Had an excellent 2yo campaign, improving with each run and following a 6f Group 3 win at Chantilly with a close second in a Group 2 over the same C&D (both good to soft); may not have reached her ceiling just yet. |

Appreciated the step up to 7f when winning his maiden at Musselburgh and appeared to give his running on nursery debut at Leicester, going down by 2l after racing prominently; each-way claims now upped to 1m. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win was in a Redcar maiden (6f, good) in May 2023; some creditable efforts on AW this year but he struggled over C&D on recent stable debut; that took his handicap record to 0-12 and others are more convincing; visor reapplied. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Below par back on turf last time, taking handicap record to 0-11; best form at 6f; not the percentage call on debut for new yard. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
6f maiden winner (good) who has largely been campaigned on AW surfaces of late; well beaten back on turf at Leicester (6f, good to firm) latest; has since changed hands; drops 2lb and is not ruled out each-way if he can transfer some of his better efforts back to this surface. |

Contested his third handicap (second since gelded) when leading early and strong at the finish to get off the mark over 1m2f at Lingfield (AW) in March; had turf form last season but tailed off when front-running at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago; needs overall improvement. |

Awarded the Pontefract handicap last month in which Valentine Catcher passed the post first; not so good in either run since, the latest at Doncaster on Saturday, and others appeal more. |

All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on. |

18th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Five-race maiden who has failed to improve in two nursery attempts, both at about 7f in cheekpieces; chance depends on how well he responds to change of headgear and drop back in trip. |

31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Beaten about 9l when upped in trip and seventh of 12 on recent nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm); however, that doesn't tell the full story as he got behind after switching to the inside from the widest draw, and the prominent-racers dominated; could be more competitive here. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him. |

9st 7lb |
Too good for 21 rivals at Doncaster in March (1m, good to soft) in March; last of 13 at Southwell under a penalty soon after but he didn't see a lot of daylight and he can be given a pass; revival on the cards. |

slowly into stride, held up in rear, headway and in touch with leaders over 4f out, keeping on 2f out, went second inside final furlong, no match for winner |

8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in a lower-grade nursery here (7f) last month, staying on nicely in a well-run race; fair run at Carlisle last week and he looks ready for 1m; not discounted. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (3) |
31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His form has been up and down but he won at Newcastle (7f, AW) recently on his third nursery start and has also shown promise on turf; can be bang there if on another going day. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best run when close fifth in a Ripon handicap (1m, good) in May; had traffic issues in the closing stages there and again at Redcar (7f, good to firm) ten days later; still has potential after seven starts and in the mix with hood added; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls in June. |

5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Best run when close fifth to Havana Prince (now 4lb worse off) and Curious Mrs Fox (3lb worse off) in a C&D handicap last month (good); didn't get the best of runs that day and again found trouble when eighth at Redcar last time (7f, good to firm); interesting. |
9/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
20th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 but he ran his best race when close fifth at Ripon (1m, good; tongue-tie added) ten days ago and that can be marked up because he ran into some trouble in the closing stages; should be fine with this drop back in trip and he looks interesting off 1lb lower than last time. |
