25th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has progressed with every start and was touched off in slowly run event at Windsor over 11.4f on reappearance; back in trip but capable of better, especially granted a stronger pace to aim at. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won 1m2f novices at Lingfield (AW) and Goodwood (good; unraced on firmer) with 350-day absence in between; came up shy when favourite for handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in November but it's unlikely he was seen to best effect in a steadily run race; more to offer, including at about 1m4f. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Solid effort on his Tapeta debut in August, when going close off a 2lb lower mark in first-time cheekpieces (switches to blinkers today); below that level on turf last time and has still to conclusively prove his stamina over a demanding, extended 1m4f. |
4/1 |

7th 7 (8) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden winner who is still lightly raced and this headgear combination did him no harm when runner-up at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in August; could have done without the 3lb rise in this stronger company. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Nottingham maiden winner (1m, good) a year ago, but out of the frame in all three handicaps; still unexposed, but needs the switch to the AW and addition of a tongue-tie to give him a lift. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 114y |
11st 1lb |
0-10 under Rules; best run came in a maiden hurdle at this track when beat just over 4L (RPR 90); cheekpieces added to tongue tie after a poor effort off 98 in a handicap hurdle last time; unlikely to be good enough on chasing debut. |

Not beaten far in a Roscommon maiden hurdle on Monday despite jumping poorly and racing too keenly; could do well here if jumping and settling better. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Did too much up front at Ascot (1m6f) eight weeks ago; progressive otherwise in handicaps, winning twice, and may still have more to offer; possibilities, provided she stays the new trip. |

5th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has failed to make a serious impact in two middle-distance events (turf/AW) and needs to improve a good deal on the bare form; handicaps more suitable shortly. |

24th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
200,000gns son of Kingman but beaten 22l when fifth of seven on his 1m4f Newmarket debut (16-1) four weeks ago; needs to have come on a lot. |

200,000gns yearling; Kingman half-brother to 1m/1m3f winner In Ecstasy (including 2yo/HK), out of 1m1f winner; sole newcomer in the field; stablemate of Rosa Chinensis; market instructive. |

Finished a remote last of seven on his belated debut at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) last month and he struggled again at Goodwood (1m2f, good) ten days ago. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his only career win in this 12 months ago when 3lb lower and perhaps unlucky not to have won last week at Lingfield (2m AW) given the trouble he found in running; good or quicker ground might be ideal but effective on good to soft. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win was at Salisbury (1m6f) last August but he's a reliable type who has hasn't been beaten far in his two runs this season including a clear second at Salisbury; looks worth another try at this trip and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well suited by a stiff 1m6f and his clear comeback second at Salisbury a month ago has been boosted by the winner going in again since; only 1lb higher and his claims are obvious. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has cut little ice on all his four runs, blinkered for his handicap debut when only 11th at Kempton (1m4f) 24 days ago; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
11th 10 (14) |
22nd Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Trainer had a couple of decent-priced winner this month and this gelding wears first-time headgear now handicapping at a lowly level; that's where the positives end, however, with him beaten a long way in three runs to date; watch the market. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (7) |
5th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Turf debutant who has poor claims on form, having been soundly beaten in two middle-distance contests on AW; the change of surface needs to have major effect. |
50/1 |
