13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Farhh half-brother to four winners, notably Oaks second Dance Sequence (7f 2yo winner, including Group 3); made an eyecatching debut and built on that when front-running second of 12 in novice at Bath (1m, heavy) 12 days ago; that's far and away the best form in this line-up. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Farhh half-brother to four winners, notably Dance Sequence (7f 2yo including Group 3/runner-up in Oaks); eyecatching fifth in 7f AW contest at Kempton, making good late progress from rear while seeming green; interesting with improvement on the cards upped in trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still a maiden but could go well in refitted cheekpieces, having finished a close fifth in sole attempt in this headgear (penultimate start); didn't fare so well back in blinkers latest. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Touch disappointing over hurdles for this yard but fared better back on the Flat when fifth of 12 over 1m4f at Pontefract (good to soft) 25 days ago and three subsequent winners have emerged from that race; swaps the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time for blinkers he tried once over hurdles; his best RPR on the Flat was achieved over this trip. |
5/1 |

5th 2 (3) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not seen on the Flat since well-held third on heavy ground for Ed Walker last autumn and subsequent hurdling form for Jedd O'Keeffe was not particularly inspiring; sports first-time cheekpieces; others appeal more. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three starts, gelded before showing greatly improved form to win 12-runner maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) one month ago; asserted late on and in good style, suggesting that this longer trip can suit on handicap debut. |
9/4 |
|
1st 10 (8) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
140,000gns yearling; well-held third on Goodwood debut (1m1f, heavy) last October and was last of six when favourite on his Chester reappearance (1m4f, good) last month; may not have handled that track but he's been gelded since but needs a more dynamic effort on this drop back in trip. |

pressed winner, in touch with leaders after 4f, headway over 2f out, edged left and weakened inside final furlong |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Encouraging seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Windsor (good) in June but disappointed at Ffos Las (also 1m2f, good to soft) three weeks later; subsequently given ten weeks to reset and an improved show would not surprise for respected yard. |
10/1 |
|
8 (8) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unexposed filly who kept on for fourth on seasonal/handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; probably still has potential; needs to be taken very seriously. |
3/1 |
|
4th 8 (11) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten all three starts as 2yo, albeit with fourth of seven to a runaway winner at Goodwood (1m1f, heavy) on final occasion appearing to be much improved form; sister to 1m2f-1m6f Saratoga Gold (useful at his best over 1m4f) which prompts some extra interest on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

9st 5lb |
0-9 for Andrew Balding, but runner-up in three of his last four starts; up in trip for this stable debut after seven months off and holds each-way claims if ready to go; no headgear today. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but he's finished placed in three of his five handicaps and had some traffic issues when sixth at Kempton (1m4f) last time; wasn't beaten far in that race and he's in the mix back on Tapeta. |
13/2 |

6th 1 (4) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has run three sound races at about this trip since headgear was fitted, just run down late by an in-form rival over 1m3f here last week; should find a race before long and solid to go well again. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Flat winner whose hurdles form comprises a couple of second-place finishes and a late fall (beaten at the time); even off bottom weight, this looks a difficult task upped in class. |
33/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 on the Flat and 0-5 as a hurdler; he's modest in this discipline but was third in a handicap last time and at least he has jumping experience. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 5 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Fair on the Flat; probably only sixth best on merit when fourth on handicap debut here (2m3f, good) three weeks ago but positives can be drawn from that performance and he might have more to offer over this longer trip. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
11-race maiden under both codes; tailed off in last two hurdle runs but he showed some promise when runner-up in a juvenile event here (2m2f, good to soft) in November; now goes handicapping at this new trip and he needs watching in market after 111 days off; cheekpieces reapplied. |
