10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Pleasing debut here when third favourite behind a couple of useful rivals (1m) in August; ran to a similar level on Tapeta last time, when again shaping as though tonight's longer trip would be fine, and is one of a handful with realistic claims. |
4/1 |

4th 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Green off the bridle but it was still a pleasing start to his career when fourth at Chelmsford 12 days ago (1m); the first two home in that maiden have a BHA rating of 92 so the form has some substance; interesting with improvement on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to 7f AW/1m turf winner Monte Linas (RPR 90); dam 7f/1m winner (89), out of 1m5f winning half-sister to French 6.5f Group 3 2yo winner Perugina and Listed-placed 12.5f winner Sovana (dam of three Group winners); worth a second look on debut if market favourable. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Big price for his Tapeta debut last month, when inclined to pull hard before cracking late on over 1m4f (bred for that trip); entitled to improve but the emphasis will be more on speed over this distance round here. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise in his first three starts on the Flat for Ben Brookhouse as a 3yo, but wasn't the same horse after unseating on his hurdles debut; makes his stable debut (same owner) after 21 months off and the market should be revealing. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; has ability but well held in two Polytrack handicaps (2m/1m4f); hard to enthuse in first-time cheekpieces on Tapeta debut. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Poor maiden on balance and he came in only ninth for his new yard in 1m3f Kempton handicap 20 days ago; tongue tied for his Tapeta debut with lots more required. |
33/1 |
|
6 (1) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed some ability in sole start for Jane Chapple-Hyam but subsequently achieved little in three runs for John Gallagher; big turnaround needed on debut for Heather Main. |
25/1 |
|
14 (1) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Had one run (1m2f, AW) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and sold for 15,000gns in November; that debut was a lot better than his two runs this spring, in demanding company admittedly but he lacks solid claims for handicap debut. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
String of poor efforts since a turf win last summer, albeit in better company, latterly on her return from a break a few weeks ago; well held on her only previous run on Tapeta and tries a new trip tonight. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (10) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Had eight races, winning a 1m4f handicap on good to firm at Doncaster last summer off this mark; hasn't built on that in a big way and an absence since February raises plenty of doubts. |
33/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who returns to a more suitable grade, having faced a stiff task in Class 2 event on reappearance; however, still hasn't backed up the form of her Doncaster win (handicap debut). |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
An 11-race maiden whose profile is none too compelling and tried cheekpieces last time. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ten defeats include three for her current yard and overall profile is none too compelling; perhaps the cheekpieces can bring her on. |
10/1 |
|
7 (2) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Poor for Martin Dunne and, having shown a bit more on her debut for this yard last month, ran dismally at Southwell; having her first run on turf and needs to improve a deal for the surface switch. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Half-sister to a C&D winner; well beaten in two runs over shorter at big prices last winter; off for nine months and likely to find life easier once handicapping after tonight. |
33/1 |
|
8 (6) |
26th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Well held in two starts at Kempton (1m/7f) during the winter; looks more one for handicaps after this. |

6th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-9 over hurdles; suggested his turn was near when placed twice over 2m3f during the winter but wasn't quite at same level when fourth on final two starts last season; needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Last run wasn't his best but likeable efforts prior to that in handicaps at about 2m3f (good to soft); has more pressing claims than most in here. |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent sort who posted a good second of 12 in 2m3f handicap hurdle at Warwick in January; up another 2lb but he's well in the mix again. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4yo who's been confined to just three races; breaking out of the stalls didn't help once last October and neither did finishing lame this March, but his other two runs (on good ground last April and AW 12 days ago) showed stacks of ability; while not crying out for 1m2f on latest performance, he's bred to stay; very much the form pick. |
4/6 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Close third on debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) last April then absent until fourth of five at Newcastle in March (1m, AW; favourite); this 4yo needs to leave last time behind but he's in top hands and will be a major player if tapping back into his debut promise. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
800,000gns yearling whose dam was fair at around 1m (Polytrack winner); has landed the outside stall on debut but his powerful yard (also saddles Earl Of Rochester) has had a couple of newcomers win in recent days and he could well add to the tally. |
