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. |

Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |

Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |

1st 6 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
3-37 with two of his wins coming at Chester; one of his better efforts since joining this yard when beaten just over 2l into fourth of ten over C&D a fortnight ago; worth considering from 7lb below his last winning mark. |

Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |

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. |

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. |

Entitled to win a C&D novice (on soft; made all) in August and it was always going to be tough for him in a very deep nursery at York's Ebor meeting (form working out very well); on a challenging mark but should be a factor. |

3-11 for Charlie Johnston and 1lb lower than for her latest success at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) in November; tailed off minus the headgear on stable debut back there (1m; first start since wind surgery) 12 days ago, which leaves her with enough to prove; blinkers are still missing. |
