1st 2 (3) |
24th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Series of good runs on AW since returning from a gelding operation in November, going down by a short-head over 7f here ten days ago; stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver. |
8/1 |

6th 8 (7) |
1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
5f winner at Chester last summer; back in top form when third at Southwell 11 days ago but he was no match for Blue Prince on that occasion and his old adversary is preferred despite the revised weights. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest strike-rate but his handicap wins have come on his last two starts, over 5f on Wolverhampton AW and at Bath, when taking advantage of a drop in the weights and the refitting of blinkers; still on a fair mark on past 6f form and bold bid likely on course debut. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
With blinkers belatedly back on he finished off best over 5f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago when they didn't hang about up front; fair shout off 4lb higher should he be as good again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His three wins have all come over 5f but he stays 6f well enough; others look more appealing for win purposes all the same. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Third in C&D classified event on his penultimate start and again ran well when a close fifth in a C&D handicap two weeks ago; each-way shout. |

28th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Reasonably consistent thus far having produced form figures of 334 in sprint races on AW/soft, most recently fourth at Chester; may be capable of progress now switched to handicap level; solid claims. |

6th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising debut when third of 11 at Goodwood (6f, good) in May, but has twice disappointed since as when fifth of eight here (5f, soft) last month; bred to stay on the dam's side, but he needs to bounce back on nursery debut and has a wide draw. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
15th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Hung left when turned over as favourite on fast ground last time; is better judged on his debut effort but whether the drop from 6f will work in his favour (dam placed over 1m6f) remains to be seen. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unable to land a blow behind an impressive winner at Goodwood on his debut three weeks ago (6f, good) but the penny was dropping late on and he appeals as the type to do much better with the run behind him; interesting. |

18th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-13 but has been placed in similar contests over 6f at Yarmouth the last twice (good to firm/soft); each-way claims again. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Regressed for his previous yard but did much better back from five months off over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago; his profile would suggest he's no certainty to build on that on different ground however. |

19th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Debut promise at Ayr (6f) came on fast ground; well held on soft next time; chance may depend on the weather; tongue-tie fitted. |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Stable having a quiet season with 2yos thus far but this colt offered hope on his debut last month, when making a lot of the running over 6f; that wasn't much of a maiden but he's entitled to improve. |

26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown very little in her five runs and has finished tailed off in both handicaps (7f/1m); has lots to prove now upped to 1m4f and she can only be watched. |
50/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
2nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has had little racing but not yet shown anything, at sprint trips and when upped to 7f on her handicap debut at Chester in August; all to prove on AW debut after layoff. |
50/1 |

6th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Huge prices and beaten a very long way in three starts over 5f-7f last month; similar scenario likely on nursery debut. |
