Made debut only last October and he's beaten very few of his rivals, at triple-figure odds for all five starts; drops in trip after two 1m classifieds and blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Speedily bred but kicked off over 1m2f and didn't get home over 2m on handicap debut at Newcastle, though that was better; others might see this out stronger. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won on handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) in April and bounced back from two lesser runs to win at Ayr (1m2f, soft) in a first-time hood; could have more to offer in the headgear. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Won going away at Redcar (good) on handicap/seosonal debut; couple of duck eggs at York since; chance of a rebound depends on how well he responds to first-time hood. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Justified favouritism on handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) in April but he finished tailed off over 1m4f here next time and was always in rear in that race; still unexposed after only five starts but he needs to bounce back after that major blip. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-race maiden who has yet to be placed; ran respectably in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f; cheekpieces added) last week but he needs improvement on this step back up in trip. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better with each run for this yard, back from a year off, looking unlucky not to go closer over C&D last month before done for toe at a key stage in a small field at Lingfield; one of the likelier winners in first-time cheekpieces under Billy Loughnane. |

Was set to show comfortably his best form at Wolverhampton ten days ago when denied a run in the final furlong; that was a lowly classified event but it did at least hint that better could be forthcoming. |

Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |

2nd 11 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Just one win from 17 starts but he reached the frame on numerous occasions over 2m/2m1f in July-October last year; ended 2025 on a low note but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs watching in market after five months off. |

Runner-up in three mares' bumpers and a novice at Southwell (1m3f) before being sold out of Karl Burke's yard for 10,000gns in January last year; well beaten on stable debut after 400-day break in 1m3f handicap Southwell last month (tongue-tie tried and retained); plenty to prove. |

Lightly raced 4yo who should be capable of better than she showed on this month's handicap/seasonal debut at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm), but she was tailed off at 33-1 and it's hard to be confident on the back of that. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Low-mileage 4yo who scored comfortably at Southwell eight days ago to complete a quickfire 2m double and take form figures for new yard to 411; gives the impression she'll be as effective back at 1m6f; open to further progress and warrants respect under 5lb penalty. |

Maenad
Verdict
Few of these have much to recommend them at present and AT NO TIME could be the answer. Although she was rather laboured here last time, the addition of cheekpieces could help and her debut form looks strong. Maenad and Java Raja are respected for the Gosdens, while Universal Story is a newcomer of note.[Paul Smith]
