J: Finley Marsh

T: Jack Channon

The winner of four of her six starts, notably a dominant effort in a Class 3 handicap at Goodwood four weeks ago; ran poorly behind Rumstar in a Group 3 at Sandown on her penultimate start but that run shouldn't be used as the evidence she can't make her mark at this level.

Successful debut over 6f but improved form at 5f since, winning her first two starts at the trip (AW/good) before going out like a light in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; had earlier been taken out of a race on the latter ground and presumably wouldn't want it to dry out much; remains of interest, though.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival in his Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) in June but he ran well for a long way with hood added at Nottingham (fourth of nine) two weeks ago; that was behind a smart prospect who made all and this well-bred colt is open to more progress; respected.

Ended 2025 with a good second at Newmarket (6f, good), after which he changed hands for 50,000gns; only eighth (of 19) on his stable debut at Doncaster 18 days ago but he wasn't well drawn as things panned out and he ran as though the run would bring him on; remains a sprinter of interest.

Form & Verdict
Cost £88,000 as a yearling but he was a weak 20-1 shot at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and finished a remote eighth of 11; can only be watched after that low-key start.
