prominent, went second from over 4f out, ridden over 1f out, soon edged left and lost ground, rallied inside final furlong, kept on and led towards finish |

16th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
155,000gns yearling buy, by No Nay Never; dam unraced sister to winners Deauville (US 1m2f Grade 1) and The Corsican (1m3f Group 3); stable has had an excellent season with juveniles and he is well worth a market check on debut. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Produced two similarly promising efforts over 1m (good to firm and heavy) as a juvenile, including here; since gelded; will have a bit to prove trip-wise over this far but could be involved if he sees it out. |

3rd 2 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Opened his account at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) last month and bettered that effort when a close third over C&D seven days ago off the same mark; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim is unavailable here, but another effort of that calibre would put him firmly in the mix. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made the breakthrough over hurdles at the seventh attempt, getting the better of the long-odds-on favourite in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm; 6-1) 12 days ago; what that form amounts to is questionable, and this Class 4 contest is much more competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year on good to soft (also successful over C&D on good to firm); another decent C&D effort when third in a higher grade in May and creditable third over hurdles since; likely to go well. |
11/8 |
|
3rd 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |

9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
led but pestered, increased tempo 2f out, rallied when headed final 110yds, just held second |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (10) |
27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner for Marco Botti (7f/1m); bumped into very progressive rival when second at Southwell (1m) in March then changed hands for 17,000gns later that month; player if still in same form for new stable. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
10th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
prominent, led after 1f, headed over 1f out, kept on, no match for winner |
