30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Sea The Stars colt; merely workmanlike when odds-on winner of 1m Kempton AW novice on second start last autumn; justified strong home reputation when powering clear in a 1m2f conditions race at Leicester; had an unusual profile for this race, having never run in a stakes race, but can be rated a serious contender nonetheless. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

Has become inconsistent but looks interesting back down in grade, having recorded 1m2f wins at Ascot and Sandown in last two attempts in Class 3; admittedly on a tougher mark now. |

7th 6 (14) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who won twice last year and got back on track to score over C&D (good; acts on soft) this June in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; did not get run of the race in a top York handicap seven weeks ago and not discredited; needs a second look. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
4yo who won twice last year and got back on track to win in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month; appeared to have more in hand than the 1l winning margin suggests and he might have more to offer in the headgear; could be in the mix under a 5lb penalty. |

Godolphin newcomer; by Dubawi and the first foal of an unraced half-sister to Listed-placed 1m/1m2f AW winner Al Aguila and daughter of UAE 1m1f Group 2 winner; interesting, particularly if strong in the betting. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Patchy form for David O'Meara last term but won in June (good to firm; first-time hood) and ran a corker when third of 21 in valuable Ascot handicap (good) in July; back in form when slightly unlucky second at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in October and sold for 40,000gns later that month; hood (absent when disappointing on final start) missing again; tongue tied for stable debut and warrants a market check. |
20/1 |

11th 4 (4) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly in hood for current yard, winning on turf in June and close second on AW most recently; may remain competitive, provided the removal of the headgear doesn't have negative effect. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Quirky 4yo; won well at Leicester in June (7f, good to firm; hooded first time) and his third at Ascot in July was an excellent effort; a few quiet efforts from August onwards but he would likely have gone close here (1m) last week had he seen any daylight; the forecast strong headwind could favour something coming from off the pace and no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark; high on the list. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Better since switched to turf (good ground last three starts) and upped to this trip, on last two occasions winning easily at Chester and by a neck with late bid over C&D; raised another 8lb, which demands plenty more again, but may have more to give. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

|
1st 3 (4) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
185,000euros yearling; shaped with some promise in novice events but he found improvement upped to 1m2f on handicap debut when going close at Newmarket (good) last month; up 2lb but that latest form has been boosted by the winner since and he has plenty of scope for further progress; big player. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won here as 2yo; opened his 2024 campaign in the Derby and a Royal Ascot handicap, before sights were lowered when justifying favouritism in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta; 4lb higher today) in August; heavy defeats in major 1m4f turf handicaps on his two subsequent starts, since which he's been gelded and had wind surgery; dark horse reappearing at 2m but his family and style of the Newcastle win give significant hope. |
7/4 |
|
15th 6 (4) |
11th Oct 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
After opening this campaign in the Derby and a Royal Ascot handicap, his sights were lowered somewhat when justifying favouritism in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW); met with a heavy defeat at Ascot five weeks ago but he'd looked capable of better going into that and perhaps the soft ground was to blame; may be worth another chance. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Haydock (1m2f) in May and from Dreams Adozen at Chester (upped to 1m4f, good to soft) in August; needs to bounce back from a poor show last time (first run on AW since his pre-handicap days) and has not raced on soft ground since debut; bit to prove on those counts but that Chester win was a comfortable one. |

4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drew clear to win by nearly 5l at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) in May, his second handicap, but found one too good when odds-on to follow up later that month and again let favourite backers down when only sixth of nine at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July; moves up in trip here and may still have potential but has a point to prove. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |
|

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-11 but was short-headed in first-time blinkers (retained) over 1m3f here (good to firm) ten days ago, when well clear of the third; he's a contender if backing up that latest run and coping with the slower ground. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his AW form at up to 1m earlier in the year; best run since switching to turf when stepped up to 1m2f at Ayr (good) four weeks ago but he wasn't strong at the finish and it remains to be seen whether this slightly longer trip suits; wears first-time blinkers. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Faded in a 1m Listed race at Saint-Cloud (heavy) in November; had previously won a novice and a handicap (good) at that trip but the return to 7f worked well for him at Doncaster (soft) in October when he was bumped and later met trouble, only just failing against one on the crest of a wave; that strong form gives him solid claims. |
9/4 |

3 (10) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; campaigned mostly at 1m but his two efforts this term, including when sixth in the Lincoln here, suggest this return to 7f is worth exploring; good second at Doncaster (soft) 12 months ago; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Wrapped up a good 3yo campaign with smart effort for second of 12 in 1m Doncaster handicap (soft) last October; couldn't justify favouritism but still made a respectable return to the track when sixth of 22 in the Lincoln there (1m, good to soft) in March; off a further six months since but evidently capable when fresh and remains with untapped potential. |
