28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Started off for Lemos De Sousa with two encouraging AW runs in the spring (5f/6f) and can be excused this month's turf defeat (suffered interference); would appeal more on ground slower than good but has slipped to a tempting mark and may be aided by the refitted blinkers. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Patchy after a debut win (heavy) last spring and been tried in various forms of headgear; not beaten far in a couple of AW handicaps in the spring, when having excuses each time, and won't mind any rain. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back to the same career-low mark she cashed in on in first-time blinkers at Goodwood in June (6f, good), progress having stalled again since; holds Connie's Rose and Papabella on last month's Leicester clash, albeit she was fairly well held herself; place rather than win claims. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below her best in one run on good to soft and was taken out on account of soft ground early in the month, so could do with some drying weather; proved consistent since blinkers went on but needs to find a bit more from somewhere. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1235 since wearing blinkers, the win at Goodwood (6f, good); ran respectably at Windsor (6f, good to firm) most recently and holds claims. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |
20/1 |

8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |

18th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Needs to rebound, having been disappointing at Pontefract last week; scored comfortably in Ffos Las maiden (6f, heavy) the time before and a reproduction of that form would put him in the mix. |

Verdict
Pellitory looked a real handful in the early stages of his recent venture over 1m at Doncaster and he did well to have the reserves to finish as close as he did. He looks well worth another shot at 6f but SIR PALAMEDES has the advantage of having proved himself in the mud and is preferred. The remainder are more difficult to make cases for but Rock Hunter has nothing to prove on this surface and has been gelded since his latest run.[Emily Weber]
