21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Last of four in a 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket (good) in May on his only start in a hood; won by a nose either side of that in a maiden and novice, latterly when going clear before holding on from Thursday's King George V Handicap seventh Boatswain; still looks raw and a work in progress, so brings potential to this handicap debut. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Irish Derby entry; did very well to hold off a smart one (now has a mark of 97) on Kempton AW debut over 1m; respectable reappearance, despite finishing last of four, in a 1m2f Newmarket Listed race (good; first-time hood, now discarded) and should improve for the run with sights lowered. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ready winner on debut last year (1m2f, Polytrack) and ran to an RPR in the 90s each start after; returned from nearly eight months off with lacklustre effort at Ascot and is suddenly best watched; cheekpieces return. |
14/1 |

13th 5 (13) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
His progress stalled at the end of last season but returns as a still relatively unexposed 4yo who could kick on again in 2026; betting informative. |
14/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Won on debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January and runner-up in 1m2f novices on next two starts (good/good to firm); hasn't kicked on as might have been expected in handicaps since but he wasn't disgraced when 7l eighth of 12 in the usually strong Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm) last time and being eased another 2lb can only help now taking on older opposition for the first time; also wears first-time cheekpieces. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage 3yo; record of 211 since dropped to 1m, the wins at Newmarket (good to firm) and Kempton (AW); upped in class but looks open to further progress at this sort of trip. |

1st 4 (6) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage 3yo; couple of sound performances on turf since dropped to 1m, making all for narrow win at Newmarket latest; may have more to offer at this trip; respected. |
11/4 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Found little on handicap debut over 1m2f at Newbury but he shaped better when dropped to 1m at Sandown (good) recently, albeit no match for a Haggas improver; not obviously ahead of this mark but he has time on his side. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Scored at Chelmsford (1m5f) for Roger Varian in January; not disgraced for his new yard with third of six in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap nine days ago, so he's one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of one of his 11 starts for Roger Varian, namely a 13.3f handicap at Chelmsford in January; sold for 8,500gns last month; still to prove as good on turf as AW but that is perhaps circumstance, rather than a marked preference for artificial surfaces. |
7/1 |

8th 8 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Looked on the up when gaining a breakthrough victory at Chelmsford (1m5f) in January; hasn't matched that form both runs since but he failed to last home when fifth in 2m Lingfield handicap last time; not out of things in a change of headgear over this shorter trip. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Showed only minor promise during three-race Flat career and was pulled up (bled from the nose) on hurdling debut at Fontwell in September; tongue-tie added here; not the most obvious answer. |

15,000euros yearling, £40,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; Romanised half-brother to eight winners, notably Miranda (1m2f-1m4f Flat, 98; useful 2m-3m hurdle); wears hood on debut; market informative. |
