Won valuable nursery at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft) just over a year ago but below that form in all three subsequent sprints, the latest in June; moves up in trip with blinkers tried here. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Showed a good strike-rate during his spells with James Owen; effective on AW but holds weak claims on his two turf efforts for current yard. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |

Returned from spell in UAE with two wins (6f/5f) for James Owen in spring but was sold in July then well beaten (albeit in a competitive race) for new stable at York (5.3f, good) last month; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces here; has a point to prove. |

Made all when winning off a 6lb lower mark at York in the summer; has been some way below that level since, including when a beaten favourite here last time, but the step back up from 5f should suit. |

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 |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Dual course winner in January, off lower marks, who returns from a short break after a spell on turf; has become expensive to follow and his wins have all come after a recent outing. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3-29 on the AW compared to 1-23 on turf, the last two successes coming at Southwell in January (6f/7f); went close at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago and will have no issue with the drop back in trip; respected. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner who is only 1-22 on turf but has been placed a few times since returned to this sphere, runner-up at Leicester most recently; fighting chance off current mark in this field. |

9st 10lb |
Can front-run; now 1lb lower than for last August's Chepstow success (7f, good to soft) but he's been below his best in four starts this year, including at Kempton 12 days ago; drops back to 6f for the first time since his 2yo days. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his near miss at Lingfield (7f) in December; not at best in two runs back from a break but the type to come good again soon; perhaps that will be in a race that will feature fewer pace influences than this one. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

0-9 on the AW but he has gone close on two occasions, including when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f) in December; below his best on his next two outings and was last of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; needs to take a step forward. |

Two front-running C&D wins in seven days in September; less good here 13 days ago and a new visor replaces the cheekpieces she has worn on last four runs; others appeal more. |

17th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well beaten on nursery debut at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition here; however, she won a Pontefract novice (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and the return to better ground could be in her favour; not discounted. |
16/1 |

4th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Proved suited by the step up to 6f at Pontefract (good to firm) where she beat Whoop Whoop, with a subsequent Group 3 winner in third; could well progress further and make her mark in nurseries; shortlisted. |
8/1 |

1st 5 (7) |
25th Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Stayed on well for a close fourth at Thirsk on last month's debut (5f, good); unable to justify favouritism at Carlisle 24 days ago, outpaced in the straight but keeping on well, only to be collared by an even faster finisher; improvement required but her dam was a 1m4f winner and today's extra furlong looks sure to suit. |

Went down narrowly in a 6f maiden at Kempton two weeks ago (cheekpieces for the first time), taking her record to 0-9; still sets a good standard for her rivals to aim at though and she's a strong contender once more. |
