23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey; off the mark on fourth hurdle start when taking Ludlow handicap in good style last time; drying ground suits; should go well despite 9lb rise. |
9/4 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene; wouldn't have won but displayed some ability until falling at Sandown on hurdles debut in January; also offered something to work on in two starts the following month; Flat form makes this opening hurdle mark look dangerous. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene (effective on soft); wouldn't have won when falling at Sandown and then no match for a dark horse at Southwell; highly likely that he'll need more here. |

Second in four of eight starts for Karl Burke but he's beaten a long way on all four runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he's now 0-12 and has lots to prove; blinkers reapplied. |

Second in four of eight starts for Karl Burke but beaten a long way on all three for new yard; headgear was changed on last two starts but he now goes without any; stays 1m2f and he was 11lb higher this time last year. |

4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below form after racing a bit too freely in 1m6f race won by Sea Grey here three weeks ago but his two previous runs (10.3f/12.5f) were very respectable and, after only six starts, he's not yet fully exposed; could have a say if aided by addition of tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces. |

Son of Zoffany made a winning start in 1m Southwell maiden early in 2024 and he has continued in good form in handicaps, third at Newcastle (1m4f) 16 days ago; not discounted stepping up in distance. |

Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, outpaced 4f out, kept on from over 1f out, wandered around inside final furlong, lost third and weakened final 110yds |

Promise to begin with for former and current yard; might find things happening too quickly running over a trip this short for the first time; back from a break. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has never lived up to his debut win (1m2f, AW in 2023); second at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on worse) last month on stable debut and not disgraced at Yarmouth last time, but others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat the subsequent Derby and St Leger fourth when making a winning debut at Chelmsford just under two years ago; lightly raced and failed to progress thereafter; left Michael Bell since last run (remains in same ownership) in March; market should help on this debut for the Moores. |
