10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Comes back fresh after ten-week break and may tap back into earlier progress that featured a C&D Listed success and good second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas; warrants respect. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Followed 7f Newmarket Listed win (good) in May with a second to Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); travelled notably strongly for a long way back at 7f for the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville last month but folded tamely, possibly due to the soft ground; the one to beat on his best form but could possibly have done without Thursday's rain. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
One of three for Juddmonte; three wins from three, having recorded impressive wins in 7f novice events at Sandown (good) and Kempton (AW); looked a potentially high-class performer when overcoming quirkiness to win 7f Listed at Newmarket (good) on latest; both the third and sixth have won Listed-class races since; contender. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No match for the subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year over C&D on debut in April but it was still an encouraging start to his career; absent since but still more appealing than many. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Displayed promise in the spring on his first three starts (7f/8.6f, AW); returns from a break having been gelded and if he's anywhere near his best he'll be tough to beat for his top yard. |

27th May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Promising fourth of 13 behind the smart Cosmic Year on Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) and beaten just a short head in a first-time tongue-tie (now removed) in a five-runner Newcastle maiden (7f, Tapeta; third has won since) next time; high on list. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; unable to reproduce that form since, most recently on handicap debut at Doncaster, but gelded since and that may help him tap back into his initial promise; represents top yard; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; not discounted. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win for his current yard at Ayr (7f) in May and has continued in good nick, fourth of 11 back there five days ago; drops back in trip here but he's well in the mix again. |
3/1 |
|
4th 5 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had just two 7f runs on turf for this yard, winning over C&D (good to firm) in May, then third to The Gay Blade here (soft) 17 days ago; weights chance of turning things round with that one but Paul Mulrennan switches to Native Honey; a good run is still on the cards. |

3rd 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed over 1m at Musselburgh (good) in April and justified strong market support when scoring over C&D (good to firm) last month, his fifth start for Jim Goldie; not sure to be aided by the forecast rain but still features prominently in calculations. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins since returned to AW in September and she's finished runner-up in her last four starts; didn't get much luck when a close second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago and she's a key player off only 1lb higher here. |

Nosed ahead close home at Chelmsford (1m5f) five days ago, taking record since racing in AW handicaps to 12331; incurs a penalty but Joe Bradnam takes off 7lb; gives impression she'll stay this new trip; solid. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; track and ground no concern and he was running on well when second over 5.3f here 12 days ago; has been placed over 7f but others may see it out better. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but has made the frame in seven of his eight starts in handicap company, including when fourth of 12 in this headgear combination on his return from five months off at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 18 days ago (She Went Whoosh second); drops to this level for the first time and respected. |
11/4 |

Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he finished well when runner-up over C&D (heavy) last autumn; returns after five months but he's handicapped on his best form and has had only three runs for current yard; needs a close look with hood added. |

Usually seen over further; won a 7f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in March and turned in another fair effort here in May; heavy defeats on turf twice since but returning to this surface is in his favour. |

9th 11 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent, hard-pulling front-runner who's been beaten a long way in five runs on turf, latterly when tailed off at Lingfield last month; other pace in here and he's some way down the pecking order. |

8th 10 (7) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who finished unplaced in his first 11 starts, but made a winning reappearance here on the AW in March; posted another solid effort at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; beaten 1l) 11 days ago and has claims if handling this switch back to turf. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
