10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Too green to do himself justice at Lingfield on debut last September; big step forward when seeing off 12 rivals (second and third now BHA-rated 80) at Chelmsford one month later; big weight to carry but he's open to further progress. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May in his third handicap but flopped at Thirsk 18 days later and the jockey reported that he hung right-handed throughout; that run has to introduce a note of caution. |
100/30 |

7th 1 (1) |
7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Improved his record to 2-6 when justifying favouritism with an all-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; hood removed) 18 days ago; hit a personal best on that switch to fast ground and he remains feasibly treated after a 3lb rise; big player again for in-form yard. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
25/1 |
|
11th 2 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
2024 November Handicap winner who reappeared with an easy win over 1m2f at Epsom last September; respectable sixth of 22 when bidding to defend his November Handicap crown on sole subsequent start last year; well-beaten fifth on the snow at St Moritz on return last weekend; entitled to come on for that outing but this test might be sharp enough for him. |
10/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive and useful sort but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since winning last year's November Handicap (1m4f, soft), and isn't crying out for this drop back to a sharp 1m2f. |

Heavy-ground novice winner for Charlie Johnston in September but left that stable after running poorly in two AW handicaps, and has shown only minor promise in two juvenile hurdles for Lucinda Russell this year; tongue-tie and cheekpieces added today. |

7-1, hinted at promise on his hurdling/yard debut when a remote second in juvenile at Wetherby in January; this fair 1m2f scorer on the Flat for Charlie Johnston needs considering with better probably to come. |

Sister to winners Franz Kafka (1m/1m2f; RPR 100) and Kazimiera (7f 2yo; 91), half-sister to 1m2f-1m6f winner Charles Kingsley (106); dam 1m (2yo) and 1m2f (Listed) winner (107), half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Eastern Anthem; appealing pedigree but she has a useful standard to aim at. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable second at Southwell (1m4f) in September but has failed to repeat the form in two outings over the same C&D since; defied a 2lb higher mark at Kempton in 2024 and receives weight all round in this field, so has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
8/1 |
|

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time winner with form at this track; not far off his best RPR when second in a small field at Ascot (1m4f) and a steady pace was no good for his patient tactics when behind Great Bedwyn and Mrs Twig at Kempton two weeks ago; fair shout should this pan out more favourably. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Kingman filly who took her form up a notch in first-time cheekpieces on her handicap debut when third of ten at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; can do better still, so needs considering. |

Well held at big prices in three novice events (1m2f) and same story when upped to this trip on her handicap debut at Kempton (Polytrack) last month; still early days and is 2lb lower than last time but she needs improvement. |
