26th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
5f winner (on soft ground) in the spring; fairly useful RPRs since upped to 7f but was beaten favourite in German Group 3 most recently and this is a stiffer assignment for the grade. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well upped to 7f in Deauville Listed contest (good to soft) last Sunday on fourth start, going down narrowly; faces a harder task upped further in class and returned to home soil. |

31st May 2024 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Started favourite in both starts, winning narrowly at Ripon (soft) then only fourth at Beverley (good to firm); cheekpieces now applied; given the debut form, he may show progress granted a slow surface. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
140,000gns yearling; beaten a short head on her Ripon debut (5f, soft) in April, but could only manage third of seven when sent off 4-5 over 6f there the following month; interesting to see how she fares in the market after four months off and sporting a first-time hood. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
11-race maiden; good efforts at Redcar and Ripon in midsummer (6f; first two runs in cheekpieces) but it has been a struggle more recently; change of headgear may help but Tim Easterby saddles more obvious contenders. |
25/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 and last two runs have been well below par; the hope is that he regularly shows speed over 6f/7f and hasn't had a go at 5f since his 2yo days; not without hope off career-low mark. |
20/1 |

6 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden but he had been threatening prior to a disappointing effort at Ripon three weeks ago; feasible mark if bouncing back. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins over 5f/6f last season; back to winning ways at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces back on); not ideally drawn but a contender off 4lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (15) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three sprint handicaps last spring and he is now 9lb lower than for the last of them; 2026 had been a struggle until he emerged from the doldrums with a good second at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; now has something to build on. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over 6f at Ripon (good) last May but he's been out of sorts this season and was last eight back here three weeks ago; now 9lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Started well for this yard but the wheels have come off lately, finishing last over C&D one month ago then finishing tailed off on AW last Monday; not easy to suggest after that. |
20/1 |
|
11th 1 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-5 on AW, most recently at Lingfield (5f) in April off 5lb lower; beaten three times on turf since but can't be discounted back on AW despite going without any aids. |
11/2 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this. |

27,000euros foal, 38,000gns yearling; first foal; dam Italian 5f and 7.5f (Listed) 2yo winner, half-sister to Italian winners Dagda Mor (5f Group 3) and Girl Of The Rain (6f 2yo Listed); yard 4-25 with 2yos here last year and she's in the mix. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have came on AW but has been placed on her last two runs on turf; needs a shade more to win but not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made low-key seasonal/stable debut over 6f last month but placed twice over 5f since, more recently when second on AW a week ago; back in action before 2lb rise takes effect; respected. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A fair and reliable 5f AW winner for David O'Meara in 2025; comes here on the back of a solid third of 11 for her new stable in 5f Thirsk handicap 13 days ago so can't be ruled out. |
