5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Came from well back to lead near the line on handicap debut at Bath (5f, good) on final 2yo start, beating many subsequent winners; raced freely but still a sound fourth of ten in a good 5f race at Goodwood in May and a Leicester defeat ten days later may have come too soon; has potential as a sprinter and remains of interest. |

9st 9lb |
Finished strongly to lead on the line in a Bath nursery (5f, good) and again got outpaced before keeping on when 3l off the winner at Goodwood ten days ago; might well strip fitter for that and this stiffer finish should work in her favour. |

9st 9lb |
Twice runner-up here in summer and got off the mark at fifth attempt in first-time cheekpieces in Catterick maiden last month (5f, good; unraced on softer); makes nursery debut and could have more to offer in the headgear. |

Runner-up in her first three starts before a respectable fourth behind a useful prospect who made all at Lingfield (good to firm) last time; hasn't really progressed but she sets the standard on her best form and is respected with cheekpieces added. |

Displayed promise on good to soft on debut and won at Sandown (5f, good) in July on third start; however, only fifth of seven on last month's nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) and needs a bigger run today. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |

Dual winner over 5f/6f on good to firm last year, the most recent coming off a 3lb lower mark than today's; below his best on his final two starts last year and needs to return to form on his first start for 187 days. |

Dual winner over 5f/6f on good to firm ground this year and ran well in both starts on AW last autumn; has won fresh so the 83-day absence not a problem, but he still looks high enough in the weights. |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Only win and best form has been on the AW; wasn't beaten too far in his only handicap on grass and was just 3l away in two AW handicaps before hampered by a slow start last time; hold-up tactics might not be ideal here on quickening ground. |

Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |

Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |

Won 5f seller at Goodwood (good) in June on second start; 0-4 since but has run some good races (including on good to soft) and looked stretched by 6f last time; in with a chance now back at 5f on nursery debut. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won a 5f seller at Goodwood in May and has performed well in novice company since, most recently finishing third of 11 at Lingfield (5f, good to firm; tried in cheekpieces which are left off today) last week; 6f worth exploring and she's more appealing than most. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |

Four 5f races; won a good-ground seller at Goodwood in June; second since in novices on good to soft at Ffos Las and Yarmouth (5-6; led) and both pieces of form suggest a leading role today if she takes to cheekpieces with 5lb claimer recruited. |

31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Pulled hard over 6f and it was a similar story dropped to 5f at Windsor in July when he again didn't have much left once headed; handy draw for those tactics now handicapping but he needs to conserve energy better. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

£70,000 breeze-ups purchase; not beaten far in a bunched finish here on debut and then raced freely and found some trouble at Salisbury; dropping back to 5f might be the right move at this stage of his career. |
