6th 6 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Signed off for Ralph Beckett in good form in autumn 2024 but, following a long absence, was last of four on last month's stable debut (1m4f, turf); might need a few more runs before he's of interest again. |
20/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Southwell handicap (1m4f; visor first time) and was placed seven times for Ralph Beckett in 2024; subsequently sold for 42,000gns in October 2024, but hasn't run since; no easy task after a long break. |

2nd 9 (9) |
16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has looked quirky but he's consistent and took well to new headgear at Southwell (1m4f, AW; off 4lb lower) most recently, opening his account at the tenth attempt; that form has been well advertised by the second and third since; highly respected in the retained visor. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record. |
33/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful but is 0-12 since completing a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024, essentially proving quite difficult to place; hasn't strictly improved for a switch to hold-up tactics this term (seemingly being taught to settle better); unlikely to regain the winning thread on these terms. |
40/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed runner-up at Sandown (1m, soft) last September and third in the same grade at Haydock (7f, good) four weeks ago on reappearance; however, he was comfortably beaten in that latest start and is 0-11 since winning novice contests at Doncaster in spring 2024 on second and third starts; up against it. |

Won over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster in May but no progress since; could prove vulnerable dropping in trip. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not had lots of racing and things were looking up when edging out a useful yardstick at Doncaster in May (1m6f, good to firm), only to then not beat a rival in his next two races (1m5f/2m); back to the drawing board. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance, opening his account; last of five in 1m5f AW event since but looks likely to be better suited by this step back up in distance and return to turf; showed solid promise at Newbury on debut; may do better still and remains of interest. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came over this C&D in July and he again ran well when third of 11 at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; may not have reached his ceiling yet and he's an interesting contender in receipt of weight. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 (12) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when off the mark in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) in July, always prominent; last of six when 20-1 and front-running at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) two weeks later, beaten only 7l but he now has something to prove on turf. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when beating the two market leaders in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) two weeks ago; up 6lb but that was a clearcut success last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; big player. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Refused to race at Musselburgh in February when last seen so comes with a risk attached; however, prior to that he won a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) and has potential off this opening mark in view of his useful Flat form (effective on soft in that code). |

Narrowly justified favouritism at Wetherby (second hurdles attempt) last time, adding to his Flat win; stiffer task upped in grade but may be capable of further improvement. |

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. |

Lightly raced 4yo who easily won a handicap at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in December and didn't run badly when last of seven at 150-1 in Group 3 Aston Park at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month; however, he faces another tough task in this Listed event and is best watched. |

Looked a useful prospect on good ground last spring and confirmed it on AW in recent outings; dictated a steady pace when winning the Easter Classic Handicap at Newcastle (1m2f) four weeks ago; 4lb higher today but lightly raced and could continue on his upward curve. |

Makes appeal on pedigree but he dropped away to finish last of 13 in a 7f novice at Newmarket (heavy) in November; should prove a different proposition this year but still not easily recommended. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |

Looked one to follow when impressive on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, soft) last September; failed to kick on from that initially but got back on track with convincing win in small field at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in July; could have more to offer for top yard now things have clicked again, especially now back up in trip, and he's not necessarily a soft-ground specialist. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Looked potentially smart when smooth winner on 1m4f Ascot handicap debut (soft) last September in first-time cheekpieces; hasn't progressed as might have been expected in three subsequent runs (favourite each time) but not disgraced either and may have found good to firm ground too lively (raced on softer than good otherwise) when fifth of 12 in a York Dante meeting handicap on reappearance (no headgear); still has time on his side and a potential class act giving weight away to lesser opposition in refitted cheekpieces. |

Main claim to fame is his early departure in the Derby; achieved little in two runs afterwards but appreciated the drop in grade to be third at Newbury (Class 3 1m2f, good to firm); there are races in him off an untouched mark. |

Won novice at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) on debut in April; stumbled and unseated leaving the stalls in the Derby (again 28-1) next time, leading the field home riderless on that occasion but he was tailed off in the Group 2 King Edward VII at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 18-1) after racing freely; needs to put that latest run miles behind him. |

Verdict
There should be major progress to come from SALAMANCA, who might have gone for the Futurity tomorrow if his Nottingham debut had resulted in a success. He ended up showing clear promise in second place and is taken to go one better. Hosaamm, a similar type, is feared most ahead of Move On In. As regards the newcomers, any positive market moves should be heeded.[Steve Boow]
