21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat her 19 rivals in a hot York nursery last season (7f, good to firm) and followed that with a fine effort at Listed level (second); has made no further progress, however, and this is her first run at 1m (started off over 5f). |

25th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Highly tried since beating her 19 rivals in a valuable York nursery (7f, good to firm) last August, looking out of her depth in Newmarket Group 3s on her final start at two and reappearance; well drawn but looks vulnerable to an improver; stable also runs Al Shabab Storm. |

Back in reasonably good form, having made the frame in last two outings, beaten only 2l at Haydock latest; still quite fresh, having had a light 2025 campaign, and is 1lb below last winning mark; one to consider. |

9st 1lb |
0-6 on AW for new stable since the autumn but took good step back in right direction when close fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month and will be suited by this return to 6f on turf; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
12 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins came on turf when trained by Hugo Palmer, the most recent at Chester in September; 0-12 on the AW but he did post a solid effort when a 1l fourth of seven at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago; steps back up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |

Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Raced at 5f; displayed significant improvement to win novice on Wolverhampton's Tapeta in June but he hasn't got near that level in three turf starts either side; hardly looks to be crying out for 7f and he's drawn wide so his claims aren't obvious, for all that he's with a good yard. |

Easy winner of a 6f novice at Ripon (good) in June; fourth under a penalty at Pontefract and well held when 50-1 for an Ascot Listed race (7f, good) on his two outings since but his mark is feasible if first-time cheekpieces help him to recapture the Ripon form. |
