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. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Beaten 11 times and six of those defeats have been in classified races, including a midfield finish last time (1m); returning to further may help but he's unconvincing. |

Remains winless and he resumed from four months off (gelded) with a poor seventh of ten in 1m AW classified event at Lingfield last month; needs to take a big step forward. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

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. |

1m3f classified winner at Windsor in June and made a satisfactory start over hurdles when a 23l third over C&D a fortnight ago; has plenty to find with Elated on that form and likely one for handicaps in due course. |

13-2, made a promising start when second of six in novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) in September; this daughter of Galileo is one to take seriously with better to come, especially as her stamina is drawn out more. |

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 |
10st 6lb |
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. |

Non-runners
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]
