12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dubawi colt who is unbeaten in three starts, all at the Newmarket tracks (6f/7f, good/good to firm); absent since beating Seagulls Eleven and subsequent Royal Lodge winner Wimbledon Hawkeye in the Superlative Stakes three months ago; that race has thrown up the Dewhurst winner in two of the last three years, including Native Trail for this yard; strong contender, for all that William Buick deserts him for stablemate Shadow Of Light. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Promising colt who has won a couple of Newmarket novice events (good to firm) with something to spare, latest over C&D; sire Dubawi won this race in 2004 and trainer has landed this prize four times in the last eight years; very strong credentials. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Second to smart rival on debut, then went one better at Goodwood; bounced back from a below-par effort in Ireland when fourth in Newbury Listed contest (again over 6f) last time; frame possibilities. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (9) |
19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to subsequent Group 2 winner Ancient Truth on debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in May then won readily at Goodwood (6f, good); disappointing 4-1 shot in Group 2 Railway Stakes at the Curragh (6f, yielding) 19 days ago but he was upset in the stalls and retains potential, especially given how well the Goodwood form has worked out. |
2/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
30th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Half-brother to decent 3yo miler Bright Stripes made promising debut in Newmarket novice last month before landing odds in similar Goodwood contest, showing a bright turn of foot to win readily (third and fourth have won since); upped in grade but every chance he could be up to it; softer ground an unknown. |

12th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise behind a smart rival on debut; beaten favourite twice since but is proving consistent (form figures 322) and has a leading chance in this field provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
350,000euros yearling; made a taking debut in a decent 6f Newmarket novice (good to firm) in May where he found himself towards the rear but nevertheless made serious late inroads behind subsequent winners of a Group 2 and a novice; sets a good standard. |

slightly awkward start, in touch with leaders, went third after 2f, pushed along and went second over 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, kept on well inside final furlong, easily |

1st 5 (6) |
27th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
210,000gns foal; showed signs of inexperience on 6f debut at Newmarket (good to firm) last week but the situation was accepted and it was an encouraging enough start, albeit against fellow newcomers; should improve for the run and an extra furlong; obvious contender if coping with the soft ground. |

9st 3lb |
Record is just 1-8 but he's consistent; gelded prior to creditable second at Kempton (1m, AW) on seasonal debut; likely to stay this new trip if taking after his dam; however, looks the most exposed contender. |

18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Got the better of Berkshire Whisper at Kempton on January's stable debut (6f; well backed) and followed up at Wolverhampton in February (5f); slightly disappointing when third on his recent handicap debut (5f; first run after a gelding operation); return to 6f can help but others may be open to greater progress. |

Promise amid greenness in one 2yo run for Roger Varian; made all at Kempton on his stable debut in January (6f) and defied a penalty over C&D eight weeks ago (Desert Champion back in third and 7lb worse off today); gelded since; open to further progress and looks solid. |

Lightly raced maiden; headstrong; finished last at Kempton on reappearance; however, back down in trip and class, and hood added, so could do better. |

Has had 13 races already, winning three of his seven AW handicaps (all Tapeta) and bang there in all the others; has proved himself at 1m4f on last three starts, dead-heating for first on latest, but he needs to be even better on this return to turf off 5lb higher in strong race. |

Has had 12 races already, winning two of his six AW handicaps (all Tapeta) this autumn/winter and bang there in all the others; has proved himself at 1m4f and at this track, so another good run looks highly likely but he is more exposed than today's rivals. |
