18th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Out of half-sister to US stakes winners; the less fancied of two from the yard on C&D debut last month but looked more promising the further he went when a strong-finishing runner-up to a well-backed newcomer; has another high draw but good chance of going one better. |

21st Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
4,000euros yearling who went for 30,000euros at the Irish breeze-ups in the spring; trainer, who also saddles fellow newcomer Boadicia, is just 2-54 (including a 2-13 winner) with juveniles this year. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often pulls hard and perhaps running in a sprint for the first time in a little over a year will help on that front; again has something to find at the weights for a trainer who also saddles Juan Cool Dude, however, and is a regressive maiden. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best form for this yard when third in a Wolverhampton handicap (7f, AW) last July but it's been downhill since, including in classified company (beat one yesterday at Brighton) and with a variety of headgear; stable has better chances with Rebel Cove. |

Finished third of ten in handicaps at Bath (1m, firm) and Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last summer, but not matched that form since and now 0-15; off three months. |

6th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

No progress for the switch to handicaps at Lingfield four weeks ago (1m); still early days and drop to 7f may help but others look stronger. |

5th 3 (3) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Modest form on second start but backward steps in both since, bleeding from the nose on first occasion; handicap newcomer, as is stablemate Hatadora. |

Flat winner is 0-5 over hurdles and was well beaten in sole previous handicap off 3lb higher at Limerick on penultimate; best form has come on heavy ground; others preferred. |

6th Nov 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Fair handicap debut early in the year but has struggled badly since, including in cheekpieces last time; isn't obviously fancied on his Polytrack debut for a yard also responsible for Cobh Harbour. |

8st 9lb |
Started his handicap career with a fair fourth here (7f) in February but he's struggled over C&D and at Chepstow in both subsequent runs; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation with cheekpieces added |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

0-18 and neither run since returning in May suggested a first win was imminent; drop in grade the one positive on first start for new trainer. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (11) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Had a near miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last August and not beaten far into fourth at Newcastle nine days later; not so good twice after and he has his stamina to prove now returning from 237 days off. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in July, including here (1m2f, good), and his last two runs have seen him hamstrung by pulling far too hard; drops in trip on what will likely be the slowest ground he has encountered; risky. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won twice over 1m2f last month (good and good to firm); pulled his chance away when third to Mariner at Doncaster 16 days ago; stamina for 1m4f has to be taken on trust but Henry Callan is 5-7 for James Owen and he should give it another good go. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |

All the better for a hood returning, winning two of his last three races; overcame some traffic issues to prevail narrowly at Windsor 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher. |

11th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has failed to build on debut effort; last of six in both outings this year; chance depends on how well he responds to physical tweak (gelded since last run). |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who was a big improver at the start of this season, winning a handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) then the Group 3 Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, good to firm); however, it appears as though she may have gone off the boil on her last two outings; carries a 3lb penalty this afternoon. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Always behind in the boiling cauldron of a Royal Ascot handicap last week; progressive otherwise and still has good stats, being 9-22 overall, 2-3 this term and 6-11 over 7f (1-1 over C&D); however, has to overcome a 3lb penalty for the Group 3 win achieved against her own sex in May. |
