19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who didn't make the track for Aidan O'Brien but has done extremely well for this yard, comfortably winning the four-runner Group 2 Joel Stakes at Newmarket (1m, soft) last month; supplemented for this race at a cost of £70,000; today is a much stiffer test of his credentials but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; interesting. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Came up shy in his first three handicaps but, with blinkers reinstated, he made most to score by 6l in a six-runner race at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on latest; more to prove on softer ground and given he's 10lb higher in a much stronger race. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
6l novice win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last July with first-time blinkers; has come up shy in handicaps on all three starts since, absent since August (gelded) when fifth of 11 at Goodwood 15 days ago; kept hanging in the closing stages that day and the blinkers are reinstated; unraced on firmer than good; this is a small field but others are still a bit more persuasive. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raised her game when stepped up to 1m4f for a Newmarket handicap win (good to soft; has won on good firm) last October; creditable sixth to Shaha in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good) on return and may well have more to offer, but this Group 3 assignment demands big improvement. |

2nd May 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |

Did well at 1m2f last season but her form spiked in a big way when stepped up to 1m4f for a Newmarket handicap (good to soft; won on good firm) that she won going away; that form won't be good enough here but she's a late-maturing filly with plenty more to offer no doubt. |

Good fourth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree is flanked by wins that were straightforward tasks; returns to deeper waters and concedes weight all round having gone up 15lb for penultimate effort. |

9st 8lb |
Well held in two runs for Ralph Beckett in the first half of last year and again upped to this trip on debut for his new yard (0-49 with Flat runners the past five seasons) three weeks ago; handicapper looks to have erred on the side of caution. |

Lasted only two races with Ralph Beckett but finished fifth of 13 in a 1m2f Sandown maiden in June and there could be more to come from this well-bred gelding; bought for 15,000gns. |

Runner-up on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, heavy) last October and reappeared with a well-backed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) this month, finding plenty for pressure and prevailing by 2l; this unexposed 4yo could have more left in the tank and may well take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

Well backed and worked hard when arriving late on the scene to overcome a slow start in C&D novice (good; unraced on good to firm) in September; best form when second of 11 on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, heavy) final start; up 3lb and should have the potential to cope with that this term. |

Safely held in two maidens and a novice, absent ten months before his two 1m2f runs this season; showed ability but more is seemingly needed if he's to live up to this opening handicap mark; all runs have been on softer than good; blinkers enlisted. |

Made it three wins from his five starts when upped in trip and scoring by a neck at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last month; ran in snatches and was denied a clear run, and he deserves extra credit for that win; could have more to offer now in blinkers and he's firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

Not finished within 11l of the winner in three starts over 1m-1m2f on turf/AW, but may show more now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces; dam's side of pedigree suggests the longer trip should suit. |

0-11 (Flat/jumps); made most when fifth of ten at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August but pulled up when reported to have made a respiratory noise over fences at Lingfield (2m, soft) in December; best watched on return from 171 days off. |

Well beaten in three maiden/novice hurdles during 2022-23 season and has not raced over jumps since he was pulled up on chase/handicap debut 13 months ago; can't be recommended on that evidence but has shown some ability on the Flat this year and remains very unexposed over fences. |
