24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Not sure what happened first time out but cheekpieces went on at Newcastle (6f AW) and he got the better of yesterday's Acomb runner-up Ballymount Boy who was making his debut; nothing wrong with that form and his owner targets this meeting. |
18/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
£105,000 yearling; 6-1 for last month's Goodwood debut (6f, good) but completely blew the start and never figured; no surprise if he shows a good deal more if breaking better here with cheekpieces enlisted. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went desperately close at Newcastle (6f) in December but has struggled for form since. |

|
9th 8 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
He went desperately close at Newcastle (6f) in December off a 6lb higher mark; well beaten since and unseated his rider having reared as the stalls opened (not for the first time) at Southwell 18 days ago; capable but too risky for comfort. |
33/1 |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice this year, over 7.5f at Beverley (soft) and 1m at Carlisle (good); heavy defeats the last twice but he has his sights lowered here with cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
raced wide, prominent, cajoled along 4f out, lost ground quickly 2f out, soon weakened and lost touch |
10/1 |

9th 11 (10) |
13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Two front-running wins this year (7.4f/1m, soft/good) and close third here (8.3f, good to soft) two starts ago; not quite at his best at Redcar most recently but he lost a shoe and remains of interest. |

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

Record is just 1-11 but he ran encouragingly in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (AW) most recently; interesting in the retained headgear. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-race maiden who finished last on first two starts for new stable this year (1m3f/8.4f); big leap of faith required to support him. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Yet to win and well beaten on stable debut/reappearance on AW last time; plenty more needed. |

40-1, faded to go down by just over 13l when fifth of eight in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) nine days ago, so has major work to do. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Arrives on a hat-trick after successes (around 1m) in handicaps at Carlisle and Beverley last month; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record here reads 11128 and he arrives in form having won over a similarly stiff 1m at Carlisle 12 days ago; has struggled when running in better than 0-65 company but there can't be any complaints about a 1lb rise. |
7/2 |

2 (6) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring. |

Well held in all five runs, including at biggish prices in two 1m handicaps (soft/good) this month; has lot to prove on this huge step up in trip and she can only be watched. |

Verdict
If Ambushed is vulnerable under a penalty then it’s CLASSY BOY or Angel Of England who are likely to take advantage. Preference is for Karl Burke’s colt in the hope he can build on his debut at Doncaster where he was doing all his best work late.[Alistair Jones]
