30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won easily and produced a very useful handicap performance at Southwell when last seen, taking form figures (all over 1m on AW) to 2111; interesting, assuming his big progress is transferred to turf. |

3rd 13 (10) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on softer than good; absent 612 days after his novice races (including 9.4f win) in 2024 for Roger Varian; running-on second on reappearance at Newmarket (1m) and gradually asserted when favourite for six-runner race at Sandown (1m2f, again good to firm) two weeks later; up 3lb but should have more to offer at this trip. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced and well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 for Roger Varian and then absent until Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, when runner-up on his handicap and stable debut; could have a big say up in trip if avoiding the dreaded bounce. |

2nd 12 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice for Roger Varian at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 and absent since (gelded in interim); changed hands for 40,000gns in February and has joined an up-and-coming stable, but he may need this comeback outing. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well-related gelding who made a satisfactory debut at Southwell early this month (1m), albeit he finished well off the front pair; may improve for a yard in good form but does need to. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (4) |
5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Eighth foal; Golden Horn half-brother to five winners including Prize Money (1m-1m4f including 2yo/UAE Group 2; RPR 117), Dubai One (5f-7f AW including 2yo; 100) and Role Player (6f/7f AW; 90); dam 5f 2yo winner (77); leading yard has a solid strike-rate here; market can guide. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went handicapping off a high mark after two good runs in AW maiden and novice events; on this career-low mark for last two starts at Wolverhampton (about 1m) and involved in a tight finish there last week; not far away. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
17th Feb 2026 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-14, but appears to have reached a mark he can win from judging by his second of nine behind a subsequent winner over C&D six weeks ago; a player if building on that. |

27th May 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a five-runner Southwell novice (7f, Tapeta) last October; out of the frame in both starts since, but she shaped as though worth stepping up in trip when sixth of eight on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; could have a say. |

1st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Found the ideal opening against her own sex on Tapeta when springing a surprise last backend; the race didn't pan out ideally under a penalty on her Kempton comeback three weeks ago and she's entitled to have come on for that. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
C&D win last September came off 3lb higher; always deep from stall 12 when running below market expectations here a fortnight ago when behind Baloo's Blues and should fare better. |
8/1 |

10th 6 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His two wins (from 21 races) came in a row last year, latterly in this race; 1lb lower today and second at Chepstow on latest start was his best show this season, so he's one for the shortlist despite a wide draw. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enduring a lengthy losing run and was beaten over 14l over this C&D (good) 11 days ago; hard to fancy. |
8/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 23 starts was in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February 2025 in first-time blinkers; runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month but finished last in small fields on starts either side; it's a mixed picture but he needs a second look. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Lowly rated Flat maiden who showed only minor promise when sixth over C&D (behind Jaminska) on recent stable/hurdle debut. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Beaten a long way in three starts over 1m/1m3f on Tapeta/turf; bred to be better than he has shown so far and open to progress now handicapping, but it will very much be needed. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner over jumps; absent since falling in this year's Grand National; 0-5 on Flat but has finished an encouraging second in his two handicap attempts under this code, latest at Goodwood (2m) last October; could go well. |
7/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Negotiated these fences safely in the 2m5f Topham one year ago, albeit fading into 12th; a strong-staying display to win at Cheltenham (near 3m4f, soft; 5lb higher today) in November hints at untapped potential over long distances. |

Finished tailed off at big prices in two AW runs (1m) for Alan King in the autumn; had wind surgery since but she has lots to prove now switched to sprinting for new yard. |

8,000gns yearling; third foal; by Nathaniel; dam 1m4f AW winner (RPR 77), half-sister to useful 7f-1m1f winner Hail Caesar, from classy family; of interest for further down the line but not today. |
