1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo from top yard; headstrong up front in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f) last June and also failed to settle when held up in York Group 3 (1m1f) last August on his only subsequent start; returns to 1m for reappearance but whether he's calmed down after being gelded may be the key. |

8th 6 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two novice wins from his first three starts (1m, AW/good to firm), with a close Listed second at Newcastle (1m, AW) in between; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June when last seen and could do with settling better, but this unexposed 3yo retains potential for his top yard now back down in trip and in grade; possible player. |
5/1 |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Impressive win on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and beaten just a neck in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; stable has won the last two runnings; leading form claims even under penalty. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Built on his solid reappearance at the York Dante meeting when resuming winning ways back on the Knavesmire (1m1f, good) under Ryan Moore three weeks ago; the way he held on determinedly suggests this slightly longer trip should be within range; looks sure to go well. |

1st 1 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fifth of 15 in a hot 3yo handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m, good to firm); another solid 1m course effort when sixth of 18 in Class 2 on Dante meeting reappearance; that rates a good launchpad for the season from this still unexposed 4yo; makes obvious appeal under Ryan Moore. |
7/2 |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Respectable efforts last July-September after moving into handicaps, the best run coming over C&D (good to firm) in August when close fifth of 17; gelded since last seen and it's possible this lightly raced 4yo will have more to offer for his good yard this term. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Showed some ability in his first three starts but has failed to beat a rival in two starts in handicaps (1m2f/1m3f); pedigree doesn't suggest this longer trip is what he needs. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made debut in April and showed some ability among his first three starts, but tailed off at 50-1 on handicap debut at Ayr three weeks ago. |
25/1 |

7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Thrice-raced gelding who has shown some promise with two midfield efforts over 1m, including at Ayr; gives the impression this new trip may well suit on handicap debut; open to improvement. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
28-1 when soundly beaten third of five at 28-1 on debut in a warm novice at York (1m, good to firm) last May; he's been absent since but that was an encouraging start to his career and he's not ruled out on his return. |

9st 4lb |
By Kodi Bear; second foal; dam 8.6f AW winner (RPR 70), half-sister to two winners; makes debut in a hot novice and is probably best watched. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Respectable handicap debut over C&D in June but not as good since, latterly finishing behind Desert Raider; cheekpieces are now added over a longer trip. |
20/1 |

7th 13 (11) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown a little ability as when beaten 3l into fifth of nine behind Almutraf on handicap debut over C&D in June; lesser effort at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) since then, though, and needs to benefit from the first-time tongue-tie. |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
310,000gns yearling; made a winning debut in a slowly run Chelmsford novice (1m2f, Polytrack) in June, but beaten around 15l into fourth of eight in another novice at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month; needs to bounce back on handicap debut; stable won this with a 3yo in 2023. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
310,000gns Sea The Stars yearling; late foal; refused to enter stalls on intended debut in May; 4-6 when she did go in for Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) six weeks ago, pushed along firmly from 2f out but asserting in clearcut fashion; this looks much more demanding company but she's promising. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (3) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
310,000gns yearling; dam unplaced 6.5f/1m in France (RPR 70), closely related to multiple 1m4f-2m Group 2 winner Enbihaar, half-sister to useful winners Silent Attack (7f-1m) and King Bolete (1m-1m4f); enough to like on pedigree and worth a market check; refused to enter the stalls on her intended debut in a Class 2 York novice last month (9-2 at the time). |
