20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
3-5 in 2yo campaign, which culminated in a comfortable, all-the-way Listed win at Ripon (6f, good) last August; then absent until 19 days ago, when 5l fifth to Rayevka in Listed race at Chantilly (6f, good to soft); could improve for that recent outing but others have more obvious claims. |

1st 5 (5) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Went 2-4 when resuming his progress under a change of tactics with a ready all-the-way success in C&D novice nine days ago (from Line of Force); yard has an excellent record in this so he's very much one to be interested in. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

bumped start, took keen hold, made all, going best halfway, pushed along and went clear over 1f out, ridden briefly inside final furlong, unchallenged |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen; belatedly tries 1m for the first time. |
14/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now. |
12/1 |

8 (10) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not entirely solid on his form for new stable but has slipped to an attractive mark and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; may prove resurgent if taking well to first-time blinkers. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Produced form figures of 1211 once upped to 7f last term; has posted two duck eggs this season but raced further back than usual on reappearance and was unfavourably drawn in the Victoria Cup latest; may prove resurgent. |
16/1 |
|
21th 23 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has form figures of 12110 (turf/AW) since upped to 7f, the most recent effort perhaps excusable as it was his seasonal debut and he raced a lot further back than usual; faces no easy task at this level but may resume his improvement with the reappearance under his belt. |
25/1 |
|
11th 5 (15) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
3-4 since asked to tackle 7f from late August with wins at Newbury (good) and twice on AW (latterly dead-heating); big fields no problem and he can likely do better again this term; player if tuned up. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Record is only 1-15 and it's 15 months since the win; however, has clear possibilities on these terms switched to a seller, provided he takes well to added blinkers. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Bumped into one at Haydock and his subsequent flop as favourite can be ignored, with him said to have pulled too hard on soft ground; this mark ought to be within range. |
8/1 |
|
4 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Reduced mark and showed signs of a return to form in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ffos Las in June; duly stepped up when second of 12 at Haydock (7f, good) last month; back up 3lb and another for the shortlist. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Some promise in novice/maiden company, notably when runner-up to a 2-5 shot at Chester (6f, heavy) on second outing; hung right-handed when fourth at Wolverhampton last time (7f); may fare better on handicap debut. |
11/2 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
21st Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Only fifth of six on debut but hinted at ability; backed that up when chasing home a red-hot favourite at Chester last week (6f, heavy), clear of the third, and the run was backed up by the Topspeed figure; new trip today but his brother Making Time won over 7f as a 2yo; has more to come. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Out of a Listed-place 5f winner; not disgraced when fifth of sixth in quite valuable Ripon novice (6f, good) last month and, although it's tricky to weigh up what she achieved there, she's open to improvement if more settled in the early stages here. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Successful over 5f at Southwell in November and showed he's still equally effective at 6f when runner-up there off this mark 24 days ago, both under today's rider Jack Nicholls; another to consider. |
11/2 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
6f turf winner as a 2yo who was returning from 340 days off having been gelded when beaten just over a length into fifth of 14 over C&D last month, doing very well to finish that close after meeting all sorts of trouble; respected with a clearer run. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; 6f winner on racecourse debut and similar form when third of ten in a soft-ground nursery at Catterick last October; absent since a lesser run on heavy two weeks later; market useful after absence on his AW debut; gelded since last seen. |
