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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Record is 4-19; went close in competitive race at York in July; flattered by the winning margin at Haydock (7f, good) last time but may remain competitive back up 4lb; peak mark was higher. |
16/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time 7f turf winner who was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) last month but he weakened to finish well adrift of Crimson Spirit at Goodwood last week. |
15/2 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time 7f turf winner who finished eighth of 16 in the 3yo handicap over C&D at this meeting last year for James Owen; had been gelded before finishing down the field in first two starts for this yard but was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that was a bunch finish but 1lb nudge still looks reasonable; considered despite tricky stall. |

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. |

1st 3 (4) |
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. |
12/1 |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hit the target for the first time when fending off Mercurius Power over C&D (22-1; from 4lb lower) in July; last of eight back on turf at Hamilton (1m1f) subsequently; returning to this track (1-2 on AW) could still prove beneficial. |
6/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 15th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m, AW) a week ago; now needs to show he can do it back on turf from 4lb higher and also still has stamina to prove. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

14-race maiden; tumbling down the weights and his latest Hamilton run was a little better; still not easily recommend though. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Hasn't beaten a rival on the Flat this year and was well held in three hurdle runs before pulling up on handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; new cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination needs to spark a revival. |
25/1 |

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 |
