28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 21131 since switched to nurseries, beaten a head on soft ground on first occasion and scoring at Doncaster (1m, good) last time on the same card that Ghost Run won; progressive filly who is one to consider. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Went close on nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft) in July and won her next two (7f, good to firm); beaten about 3l when third of five to Brindavan at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago but she could improve upon that latest form if getting a stronger gallop; not ruled out. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f conditions event at Newmarket last April and paid the price with the handicapper as a result; left James Owen for 52,000gns last October; well beaten in both runs for David O'Meara but in ultra-competitive Ascot handicaps; sneaking down the weights and the type to pop up at some point soon. |
25/1 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Proved rather difficult to place last term after a reappearance win that did major damage to his mark; perhaps needed the run when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup over C&D on stable/seasonal debut but is best watched unless the market signals suggest he'll take a step forward. |
66/1 |

16th 11 (16) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 3-14 for James Owen, reaching a useful standard but proving rather difficult to place after the third success ruined his mark; sold for 52,000gns and gelded since last run; probably still too high in the weights for this level of competition. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner over 1m2f on turf (good/good to firm) this year and just 1lb higher than for the latest; shaped quite well in both previous goes on the AW; shortlisted back down in grade. |
6/1 |
|
3 (6) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
1m2f turf wins this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); ran respectably at 1m4f on last two starts (three places behind Crowd Quake at Doncaster on latest) but return to 1m2f may suit. |
11/2 |

5th 11 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
1m2f turf winner this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); creditable third of six when trying 1m4f on Lingfield AW on latest outing, but a previous attempt at 1m4f on turf was not so good; unraced on softer than good; others look a bit more solid. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
More exposed than many of these after ten races; the latest was a C&D handicap (good to firm) six weeks ago and he raised his game to win it in tidy style from off the pace, but with only six runners and he's 6lb higher in this much tougher contest; sold for £250,000 on Monday. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1-9 tally and his peak efforts have been on AW over 1m; there's plenty of hope for this trip in his pedigree but he raced freely and underperformed when trying it in small field at Newmarket last month. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) in July; the step up to 1m could suit and he's been drawn wide in big-field nurseries at Goodwood and York the last twice, but he needs to take a sizeable step forward from those performances. |
20/1 |
|
15th 15 (16) |
22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Came good with blinkers added in 7f Chester nursery last month; drawn wide and made some late headway to finish seventh of 16 in Glorious Goodwood nursery since; that suggests he's still in good form but he again hasn't fared too well with the draw. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Yet to score and he's failed to beat a rival in 7f handicaps at Ayr and Musselburgh this season; easy to look elsewhere. |

9th 3 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden who hasn't offered a great deal for his current stable, including when a remote last of eight at Ayr (7f, soft) on his seasonal return 11 days ago; others much safer. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't beaten a rival on the Flat this year since switching stables and has been well held in three hurdle starts, although he wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine here (2m) in May; moves up in trip for handicap hurdle debut with something to prove. |
33/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims. |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7f winner for previous yard but very minor form under both codes for this one and it would be the shock of all shocks if he won this. |
