Returned to form from a slipping mark when sixth of 11 in 7f handicap at Haydock 33 days ago; one for the shortlist. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
3yo who is 1lb lower than when first past the post over C&D in July (good; demoted due to interference); also effective on soft; down the field at Goodwood and York since but this is less competitive; not written off. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable sort who's found some improvement in recent starts, on last two occasions taking second at Ascot (7f, soft) and winning well in a handicap at Haydock (1m, good to soft); first crack at 1m suited him very well last time but another step forward is required. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Soft-ground novice win last autumn; has a touch of seconditis over 6f/7f this term but he's built up a solid record and 1m looks worth a go; might be one who needs his mind making up and De Sousa taking the reins for the first time could also be a positive. |

17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise in maidens last term but best run when runner-up in Goodwood nursery in August (7f, good to firm; bilnkers on for first time); has been bit disappointing on both runs since, although beaten only 7l when sixth of eight in a Newmarket handicap on reappearance last month (7f, good to firm; no headgear); blinkers left off again; a possible down in grade. |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Showed plenty of promise last summer including a near-miss in a nursery at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm); flopped in his final run last season and has been gelded since but he still has potential after only five runs and needs checking in market on return; blinkers worn for last two starts are removed. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Contrasting performances on the other track here (7f) since being gelded, winning at the Craven meeting in April then well below par in May; not sure what to expect from him on July course debut. |
10/1 |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has seen plenty of action since his debut last June but he resumed his progress back on turf after a gelding operation when scoring over C&D (good; cheekpieces removed) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and this return to quicker ground is no problem; shortlisted. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Useful 2yo; in and out this season and he failed to fire over C&D three weeks ago (slow start); each-way claims if on one of his good days. |
12/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run up to nine, but has twice gone close in recent months as when beaten a short head in first-time blinkers on AW debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 18 days ago; back up 2lb, but still 1lb below his last winning mark and could go well. |
4/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Useful juvenile who turned in best effort this year at Yarmouth in June; below that level since but has blinkers on for the first time to replace usual cheekpieces and is on a handy mark for this AW debut. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive and inconsistent for this yard, and is tried in a first-time visor instead of cheekpieces tonight; needs to bounce back from a couple of ordinary efforts on turf. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-10 for this yard but she went close at Southwell (6f, AW) on her penultimate start; 14l defeat at Yarmouth last time tempers confidence, however. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
3yo who was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Sandown when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery win (AW) last backend came over 7f and she's run her last three races over that trip, but the drop back may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Looked one to follow when readily seeing off seven rivals over 7f here in May; her Royal Ascot defeat over a mile is easy enough to excuse and her other runs this summer all read well enough, closely matched with Angel Shared and Shallow on two pieces of July course form; a well-run 6f would suit and she's an each-way contender at least. |
11/2 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ready winner of a 7f handicap on the Rowley course in May; runner-up off this mark at Haydock next time and she has been placed in both starts since dropping back to 6f, latterly behind a smart filly at Goodwood; no obvious reason why she wouldn't go well again. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
3 (7) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A three-time 1m winner in 2025 who posted another good effort when runner-up in 1m Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3-18; second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month before winning by a nose at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 17 days ago; looks a likely player returned to AW following a 1lb rise. |
