8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m) early this year; runner-up over 1m in two of his four starts on turf but below form in both spheres on last two outings; bit to prove, including on softer than good. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (15) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m), but runner-up in two of his three starts on turf (both over this trip on straight tracks); needs to put a modest effort at Southwell (1m, AW) behind him, though. |
14/1 |
|
13th 10 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D novice winner who was a close third in a warm 3yo handicap over C&D last month; beaten 5l when runner-up at Newmarket since but behind a fast-improving winner and the AW may be more his thing; major player back here. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 6f on the AW but he confirmed he stays this far at Doncaster (good) in June, when chasing home one who is going the right way; looks likely to have more to offer. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f AW winner this year, latterly in valuable Lingfield handicap in April; didn't run badly when back on turf at Ascot last month (race won by Up The Pace) but needs to find something extra on this return to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 (2) |
9th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 since dropped to 6f, notably when pouncing late in a Lingfield handicap on Good Friday (Kiniro third); 3lb rise not excessive and his stable have some useful 3yo sprinters this year; high on the list. |

9st 7lb |
Hasn't looked straightforward in his four starts, hanging left when winning a Chelmsford maiden and again when sixth on handicap debut in February; no better for cheekpieces at Kempton last month and now tried in blinkers. |

Son of Kodi Bear who opened his account in 7f Chelmsford maiden in January but came in only sixth of eight in 7f Southwell handicap three weeks ago; he needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won over 1m at Windsor in July and stepped up again returned to AW at Southwell last time; drops in trip but should give another good account. |
4/1 |

2nd 11 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Beat a subsequent maiden winner when off the mark at Windsor (1m; first-time blinkers) in July but her profile isn't particularly progressive and she has more to do in this company off a 4lb higher mark. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Related to two winners for his connections; duly showed promise in 7f contest at Kempton and that form has substance (first three have won since); interesting with improvement on the cards. |

8th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Third foal; Mehmas half-brother to winners Court Of Session (1m AW; RPR 97) and Shemozzle (7f 2yo/1m1f; 91); dam Listed-placed 6f 2yo/1m winner (96); in top hands and he could have a big say on debut. |

Well-bred filly who led close home to win by a nose on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) eight days ago; could easily have a lot more to offer over today's longer trip and needs to be taken very seriously. |

Eight-race maiden; hasn't been in best of form on the Flat and has plenty to find on his latest run over hurdles. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Placed in Musselburgh maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has looked out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat in recent months (had wind op before latest run); needs to turn a corner. |

0-7 and his second in a Leicester handicap in June (1m, good to firm; no headgear) is a standout; offered little in cheekpieces but now tackling his first classified race. |
5/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-6 but he was beaten only a length when second of five here over 1m last month; wasn't in the same form at Windsor (1m, again good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 23 days ago; steps up in trip and needs to bounce back for his in-form stable. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Shown little in handful of starts at 7f and 1m on AW; now has his first run in a classified but still has much to prove on turf debut back from a break; cheekpieces on (has worn blinkers). |
25/1 |

9th 8 (6) |
26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't shown much and most recently he took a keen hold when well beaten over 1m here on handicap debut; the blinkers worn for the first time then are now removed. |

6 (4) |
12th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Poor chance on 7f efforts but this new trip, fitting of headgear and switch to handicap level are possible sources of improvement. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

66-1 breakthrough winner at Bath (1m) last October but well below that form both subsequent runs, only eighth here (7f) in December; others appeal more. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

First piece of worthwhile form was her recent decisive win over C&D and can only presume the heavy ground made all the difference; penalised accordingly but unexposed under these conditions. |

Poor form in her four starts, including when switched to a 0-50 classified here (7f; 125-1) 18 days ago; early days but the extra furlong needs to prove transformative. |

8th 4 (7) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Appeared to improve on handicap debut when third at Lingfield (1m2f) but the race was slowly run; no joy over 1m4f since and others higher up the list; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Seemed to respond quite well to first-time cheekpieces when 50-1 third of five on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) but that race was slowly run and the form may not be reliable. |
