19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Improved on last year's turf form when returned to the AW over the winter, but he went up the weights and his challenge never seriously materialised in the Victoria Cup over C&D (good to firm) in May, when a one-paced sixth of 17; dropped just 1lb and needs more for first-time cheekpieces; sold for £320,000 this week. |

Below par in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but otherwise has a solid record, creditable second at Newcastle (1m) on AW finals day most recently; likely to cope with drop back to 7f on this track; in the mix. |

31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has made the frame all four starts, showing improvement on handicap debut when a close second of ten at Kempton (1m, AW) ten days ago; not short of speed and should not be inconvenienced by today's drop in distance; the clear pick on form and very much the one to beat. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; took a while to find her feet but she's flying now, gaining AW wins at Kempton (7f) in August and Southwell (1m) in September; this is more competitive but she has shown promise on turf and should go well in her hat-trick bid. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a 7f fillies' novice at Kempton in good style three weeks ago; hit with a 7lb rise for that but she could well have more in the tank now handicapping; should be equally effective at 1m. |
9/4 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Useful efforts in two of her three starts, over 7f as 2yo, and on latest start, when fourth of eight in a 1m Windsor novice; her experience counts for plenty but she's likely to need more now back at 7f on AW debut. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form in novice and maiden races at about 1m on turf and AW last year but she hasn't shone in handicaps of late, including returned to AW last twice; down to a mark in the 50s for the first time but need to see more. |
10/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form in novice and maiden races at about 1m on turf and AW this time last year but she hasn't shone in handicaps of late, finding little when returned to 1m on Kempton AW in August; cheekpieces the next step. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (1) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-race maiden; failed to build upon satisfactory seasonal debut when well beaten on soft turf last month (1m2f) but today's test ought to be more suitable for her and she's on a good mark now. |

AW debutant who needs to improve plenty on his turf efforts (1m2f/1m); others preferred. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 4lb |
First reserve; won a 1m2f heavy ground Ffos Las handicap last year off 55 for the Kublers; has been hurdling for current yard and scored in a heavy ground Punchestown maiden in February over an extended 2m3f; way below that level in a Newcastle novice hurdle when last seen later that month; stable among the winners recently. |

3rd 4 |
22nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Both wins on heavy ground, over 1m2f on the Flat and last time reeling in one of Willie Mullins' lesser lights in a Punchestown maiden over an extended 2m3f; as that day, she's a 4yo filly getting the allowances. |

15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Weakened right out of it in novice events at Windsor (1m, soft; much his better form) and Leicester (1m2f, good to soft); best watched for now. |

Out of unraced half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 1 winner Cursory Glance; showed his inexperience and only minor promise when seventh of 13 on recent debut at Windsor (1m, soft); needs to take a good step forward here. |
