9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Defied penalty in 3yo novice here (good) in 2024; back from a 145-day break and wind surgery when landing Class 2 at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in December and beaten a neck at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in March; career-high mark but still considered. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f. |
14/1 |

13th 11 (5) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his last two novice events (7f, good) and he's finished third in the last two of his three handicaps; didn't get much luck in a Class 3 event at Goodwood two weeks ago and he still has potential after only six starts; in the mix. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Finished a close fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March when rated 6lb higher (1m, good to soft); short of that level in three runs since, including when sent off favourite at Sandown last month (7f, soft; after three months off); drops in class with a hood tried but he comes with risk attached. |
10/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't kicked on as might have been expected from promising fourth of 21 in Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft) in March in two subsequent outings; still has time on his side though and he brings a different profile to most; needs to settle better but quite interesting. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Unexposed 3yo who won a Redcar maiden (7f, good) in July before an easy win in four-runner novice at Catterick last month; this is a different test in a competitive handicap but his opening mark looks fair and he still has plenty of potential; strongly respected. |

1st 1 (1) |
28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Looks a good buy at 1,000gns (this May) having fulfilled the promise of his first run with a comfortable success at Redcar (7f, good); has been found a very weak race to carry his penalty. |
1/12 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1,000gns buy in May but has plenty of ability judged on close fourth of nine when 28-1 in a novice at Haydock (7f, good) 16 days ago, making promising late headway from the rear; one of the clear top two options in this. |

26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five-race maiden with three seconds, including from the front in handicaps at Ascot (7f, good) and York (1m, good to soft; six ran) on last two outings; improving but dictating the pace in this field should be more tricky. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (8) |
8th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Four races, best efforts when second in a novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June and a handicap at Ascot (7f, good; made most) on latest outing; boxed on well last time and worth another go at 1m (first attempt was debut); could still be capable of improvement, which is needed. |

First foal of Beshaayir, a Group 2 1m winner for these connections; already gelded and maked his debut in a warm-looking novice but worth a market check all the same. |

21st Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
7f novice win at Salisbury in August; twice placed in 7f handicaps since but she has a few issues at the start, rearing beforehand at Southwell last month and then unshipping her rider as the stalls opened 11 days ago (deemed a non-runner); hood now added; still capable of better if she can keep calm in the stalls. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Pipped at Chester (1m4f, good) in July and returned to form at Southwell (upped to 1m6f, AW) 15 days ago, getting off the mark at 14th attempt; back up 5lb but may have more to offer at this trip. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Just missed out at Chester (12.3f, good) in July but her form has slipped in the wrong direction in three subsequent runs; edging back down the weights but she's now 0-13 and has stamina to prove at this new trip. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

No wins in 17 and soundly beaten more often than not this season; runs well now and again but he's very light on AW experience. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
16-race maiden; went close in Ayr classified (1m, good) last month but finished well down the field in a subsequent AW handicap (1m2f) and cannot be relied upon heavily; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |
