21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made all when easily beating four rivals at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and ran well to finish fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good), but appeared not to stay in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm); 1-1 on the AW (Polytrack); dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Easily made all in small-field handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and not beaten far when fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good); with a leading trainer and further improvement can't be discounted now up in trip, but it's necessary and others have more pressing claims. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Usually a warm order and he's delivered twice; given a forcing ride up front at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) on latest start and drew well clear, albeit from only three opponents; up 7lb and more to prove in this stronger race, but he's only once (penultimate start) failed to show improved form. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Close fourth on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in June and this headstrong sort benefited from the drop in trip to make all at Haydock (7f, good) last time; unexposed and could take a 4lb rise in his stride. |

1st 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All four runs have been on the AW, finishing second in a novice on Lingfield debut (1m) and close fourth last time in a Kempton handicap (1m); quite interesting on turf debut but drop to 7f may not be ideal. |

8th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Placed on AW in first two starts and was beaten less than 3l when a respectable sixth in Newbury maiden (1m, good) last month; out of a half-sister to 1m2f Listed winner in France and he needs a close look now upped in trip on handicap debut. |

12th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Similar sort of form in two 1m races on the AW, the debut for Ollie Sangster; the RPRs he produced hint at limitations in a maiden of this nature and perhaps one for handicaps. |

27th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
150,000euros breeze-up purchase who badly needed his debut experience and improved markedly when fourth of ten at Lingfield (1m, AW) six weeks ago; type to progress further and high on the list. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
150,000euros breeze-up purchase who badly needed his debut Kempton experience in September when coming home nicely over 7f, albeit some way off the winner; will have learned plenty from that. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden and front-running handicap winner last spring, who found her one Group and two Listed assignments much harder afterwards but those were her best form; all those were at about 1m4f but her second from off the pace at Toulouse on final outing gave hope for this longer trip; improvement needed. |
12/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Had 1m4f wins in the spring in a maiden at Southwell (AW) and handicap at Chester (good); 11-1 for Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) two months ago, racing a bit freely and never threatening in seventh of 11 but that is her best form; might still be able to build on that. |
8/1 |
|
8 (8) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beat Caspi Star to win maiden at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March on third start and followed up on handicap debut at Chester (12.2f, good) last month, when clear with the runner-up; this is a big step up in grade but she's just the type her trainer excels with and she could have lots more to offer. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Has form figures of 2112 (and progressive RPRs) since handicapping, most recently running well in 3yo event over C&D (good to firm); reasonably solid and has possibilities off bottom weight upped further in grade. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Runner-up on handicap/seasonal debut, dead-heated for first at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) next time and clearcut winner of a six-runner race at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; up another 6lb but galloped on relentlessly last time as if he had more in the tank. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (4) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up on handicap/seasonal debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) in May then dead-heated for first at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; no stall used), coming clear with his fellow winner; this 3yo is open to further improvement and he's a player if handling conditions (unraced on good/good to firm). |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Opened her account at Redcar (1m2f) in May and she got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when third in 11.5f Windsor handicap in August, not enjoying the clearest of passages; she may do better still after a break with headgear again fitted. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A win and two seconds (one here on good to firm) in her first three handicaps; cut out disappointingly in the last 2f when well-beaten last of four at Salisbury on latest start, which was her first attempt at 1m4f (this isn't much shorter and she's not stoutly bred) but connections now reach for headgear; made the running on last three outings. |
2/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has posted form figures of 212 (over 1m2f) since handicapping and may do better still; solid contender in this first crack at 1m4f. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All starts on AW; sole start at 2m resulted in short-priced flop at Chelmsford in November; won at that track (1m6f) next time but he let favourite backers down again when beating one home over that trip at Wolverhampton in March; 1m4f caught him out last time but others look safer. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Helped set the race up for the closers when favourite here last time, having previously won easily over 1m6f round Chelmsford; now has to prove his revised mark is within range coming back down in trip. |

7th 5 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

3-6 in AW handicaps, his latest win a convincing success at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) in January; raised 8lb for that but still hard to rule out. |

9st 7lb |
400,000euros yearling who was drawn rather away from the action on his 7f Newmarket debut 12 days ago; that run was probably better than it looked and he's considered now upped in trip (stamina on the dam's side). |

400,000euros yearling; second foal; half-brother to French 7f 2yo winner Opera Mundi (including Listed; RPR 99); dam 9.5f/1m4f winner (including Listed; 98); already gelded but of obvious interest on pedigree. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
3yo maiden; in a consistent vein of form at about 1m4f this summer and shaped like a non-stayer when stepped up to 1m6f at Chelmsford latest (treated as if still in form). |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten only a neck in a classified event at Yarmouth (1m4f, good) in July; respectable effort over that same C&D next time before finishing fourth of ten here on turf (1m4f; first-time cheekpieces) 22 days ago; hood and cheekpieces are now replaced by blinkers on this return to AW. |
