28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Generally disappointing since winning first two 2yo races but was third in first-time blinkers at Leicester (5f, good to firm) two starts ago and didn't run badly last time; continues to slide down the weights; shortlisted. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (2) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Bright start to career when winning first two races (5f; AW and turf) but he hasn't gone on and a recent third of nine at Leicester (5f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) wasn't particularly reassuring. |
12/1 |

3rd 7 (1) |
3rd Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Essentially disappointing since looking a useful prospect in winning his first two races as a juvenile; ran particularly poorly last time at Windsor when tried in cheekpieces and now has a go in blinkers; risky. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Well-bred filly (a half-sister to the 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean) who looked a smart prospect when winning 5f handicap at Sandown (5f, good; shaped well on soft) in July; has not gone on as anticipated in 6f Listed races since, and she's on a retrieval mission here. |
16/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Merely fifth of nine in Listed race at Chester last month but she may not have been suited by the track and this lightly raced 3yo had shown glimpses of serious promise previously; cost 1,000,000gns as a foal and is a half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean; could yet make her mark at this level. |
8/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Had no luck when favourite for the Queen Mary on final start in truncated 2yo campaign; recorded a useful handicap win at Sandown (again over 5f; good) last month on seasonal debut and, having raced just four times, looks open to further improvement; ready for a crack at 6f; respected. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Now 5lb lower than when placed in 7f Newmarket nursery for Ralph Beckett in the autumn but that was on soft ground and he is yet to strike form after two runs for new stable this year; eased in grade here; still needs to up his game. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Generally kept to softer ground by Ralph Beckett last year and was turned over at odds-on in one start on good to firm; off four months since an ordinary debut for his new, in-form yard (which picked him up for 22,000gns) in a Polytrack maiden; market useful. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Poor strike-rate and hasn't always looked the most eager under pressure; conditions no problem and on a dangerous mark so can't rule out another prominent showing. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Won two 5f AW handicaps early last year and good fourth of 16 in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June, when 3lb higher; however, he's 0-11 since his last win and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

11th 4 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on Tapeta early last year; ran well from 5lb out of the weights when second of six at Wolverhampton (5f) just before Christmas but never involved at Southwell at the beginning of January; freshened up since; same yard runs Sports Coach. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on Tapeta at the start of the year, the second over C&D (record 33123); still 3lb above his last winning mark, but still worth a second look back here at this level. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in C&D event when last seen two months ago, taking AW record to 541; may show further progress in the retained headgear; respected. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win this season but has posted some good efforts, most recently when fourth (just behind Golden Redemption) at Newbury (7f, good) last month; should be fine back at 6f; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
3 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Bath maiden (5.7f, firm) last June; 0-7 in handicaps since but it was a solid run when second of nine over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; chance off the same mark. |
