28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
8st 9lb |
One of three for yard; ran well over C&D on final two starts of 2025; 0.75l behind Gazelle d'Or last September (yld-sft) and 2l behind Staysound Susie here in November (heavy); could go well if fit for his return. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Ran well when third in a 7f handicap at Thirsk last September and she is now 5lb lower; two disappointing efforts last month and she now has cheekpieces fitted; eased in grade but others look more persuasive. |
25/1 |

5th 3 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in face of a stiff task in a Carlisle Listed event last summer; backed that up with a close third in a Thirsk handicap (7f, good) but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; should be fine on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival on this second run after a break. |
12/1 |

12th 1 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well in the face of a stiff task in a Carlisle Listed event last summer; confirmed she hadn't been flattered there when finishing a fine third over C&D last September; two lesser efforts to round off 2025 but the form of that C&D run, where she travelled so powerfully, offers serious hope this mark is in range; has run well after a break in the past and her trainer is having a fine year; contender. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Unexposed sort; well beaten after more than a year off on handicap debut at Ayr in September (5f, good to soft); should be sharper for that and the new trip and surface are possible sources of improvement. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole Tapeta effort, when springing a 25-1 surprise off a 5lb lower mark over 6f at Southwell, was a good bit better than any of her five turf efforts; one to consider back on the AW. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Showed improved form on AW debut (second handicap start, first run at 6f) when a 25-1 winner of a Southwell nursery last time; up 5lb; chance if reproducing that form if as good back on grass. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ordinary filly who has inconsistent form; best efforts when second/third over 6f on turf; not a solid option and looks set for minor honours at best. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (1) |
2nd Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Best run so far when third at Doncaster on nursery debut in August (6f, good to firm); lesser run on the AW last time; could go well but was a disappointing last of four when favourite on only previous run at beyond 6f. |
16/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Best run was her debut when second at Carlisle and probably has her work cut out if she's to reverse Doncaster nursery placings with Monomyth. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Invariably pulled away his chances last year and was gelded over the winter; no surprise to see a hood tried on his comeback, but it didn't help and he'll need to settle better upped from 5f round this stiff course; Connor Beasley rides stablemate Sanbona. |
