18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Still unexposed after only four starts but was a well-beaten 100-1 shot after blowing the start on recent stable/handicap debut at Lingfield (1m); upped in trip with cheekpieces added here; tongue-tie removed. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Down the field in three qualifying runs over 7f/1m on turf/AW for Marcus Tregoning; sold for 1,500gns in July; has a tongue-tie added now handicapping for new yard; probably best watched. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
40-1 when eighth of ten at Salisbury (7f, good) last July; not seen again until Kempton (7f, AW; 100-1) 12 days ago when the deficit was roughly halved but he still finished only eight of nine; major work to do. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Gelded and off six months before a never-dangerous fourth of five in 6f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; this dual 6f winner in 2025 can take a step forward now. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Below best on soft in October and gelded since; had looked suited by the stiff 6f at Salisbury when winning there previously and although he won over this trip on his Kempton AW debut last spring, today's sharp test may be on the inadequate side; still has some potential, though. |
100/30 |
|
2 (11) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Struggled in a hot Kempton handicap (6f) last month but he had been improving going into the race and quickly resumed his progress when winning a 6f handicap at Salisbury three weeks ago; 4lb rise against stronger opposition today; unraced on slower than good but sire's record on soft/heavy offers hope it will suit. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive sort who won over 7f at Kempton on reappearance and ran respectably on handicap debut (1m) last time; switches to turf for the first time but open to improvement and should go well. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
$210,000 yearling; made a successful return from 209 days off in a slowly run Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last month; open to further progress now making his handicap debut; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
$210,000 yearling; ran green when fifth on Wolverhampton debut last October and he built on that with a promising third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 24 days later; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on return. |

0-8; placed in a maiden here last June but he's been well held in six starts since, five of which were handicaps; steps up in trip with better needed; others preferred. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended his time with Roger Varian with success at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta; first-time blinkers, now removed) in October; changed hands for 22,000gns soon afterwards; market useful on stable debut after 195 days off. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unplaced in all five starts since his debut in May, but has run well here before and wasn't beaten far when sixth of 14 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; not dismissed with blinkers now given a go. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has lacked consistency for current stable but is only 1lb higher than when recording an account-opening success on AW in December; fighting chance provided he's back in similar form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when winning a 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; not so good twice in January and now returns from an 11-week break; Oisin Murphy booked so a better showing would seem likely. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when justifying support at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) last month; didn't fire back at that track three weeks ago but his penultimate form has worked out well and he's a player if he can get back near that level. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft) in September and followed up at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; held up for both and finished powerfully to be well on top; has just a 6lb penalty (due to go up another 4lb) and that gives her an excellent chance. |
2/1 |

1st 10 (12) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Built upon previous promise (7f/1m, AW/good) to win by 2l on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft) last month; finished powerfully and this unexposed 3yo could take a 6lb rise in her stride, upped in trip for her top yard. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Similar level of form in three novice/maiden runs (7f-8.3.f); needs improvement to make winning handicap debut but her pedigree strongly suggests there should be more to come and she represents a top stable; interesting. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from eight starts came in a classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good) last June; made late gains from off the pace at Kempton (1m) when last seen in October and isn't guaranteed to be suited by this drop back in trip on her return. |
12/1 |
|
4 (9) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good) in June but she's been disappointing since and has finished tailed off in last two starts; still has low mileage but she needs a major revival back on AW. |
16/1 |
|
9th 14 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Ran out a comfortable winner of a Yarmouth classified event in June (1m, good); less good twice since and she will need a career best to come out on top. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; not as effective on turf and was completely tailed off in 1m Curragh handicap (good) on Sunday; eased in grade but others preferred. |
25/1 |

19th 11 (17) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; needs to step up on the form of her Leopardstown run last month; stable's Summer Island is probably more progressive, |
16/1 |
|
6th 11 (14) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; tailed off the following month off 7lb higher; good second in a claimer last time when conceding weight to better-rated rivals; capable at her best. |
