2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Impressive on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and tapped back into that promise when beaten just a nose in a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last time; respected now he's back on song. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Barely needed to improve to justify odds-on favouritism in a 7f novice at Epsom three weeks ago (good to soft); makes his nursery debut in a warm race and improvement looks essential. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had Norfolk Blue behind when runner-up at Windsor before finishing midfield in a traditionally strong maiden at Newmarket's July meeting (first-time tongue-tie); did drop away quite tamely last time after racing prominently but this is much weaker. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has run well over 5f and 6f, latterly at Windsor behind a good prospect who probably failed to do himself justice in the Coventry; this colt is useful, has experience and now goes in a tongue-tie; could have a role to play. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fair form on good to firm/firm on first three starts, before last of seven on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good; 12-1) in first-time cheekpieces; wears a hood instead for this AW debut. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has raced only on firmer than good; behind A'Ali G at Bath last time (shorter price of the pair) when his chance went after he stumbled and hit the running rail; 2lb better off with his old rival tonight and wears first-time cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

1 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
No match for an odds-on rival when second of four on his debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); then refused to enter the stalls at Chester, and after being gelded he was third of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; made the running); contender. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has a patchy profile but she won at Lingfield (5f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; well-held second over this trip at Lingfield last time, but she got hampered at the start and that was behind a big improver; shortlisted. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but she won over C&D (good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) ten days ago; up 3lb but she was as good as ever last time and she's respected back at this track. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Keen-going sort who proved suited by dropping to 5f when gaining a first win at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; struggled after a slow start at York on his next outing but he bounced back with a close second at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; nudged up 2lb but pulled clear of the third last time and that was behind a major improver who has won won again since; key player. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) before fourth in a valuable seller at Chester (7f, good) where he had to make his ground up out wide; drops back to 6f with claims. |
9/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Brother to a Listed winner; fifth of 13 in what looked an above-average Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and features prominently in calculations here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 10 (12) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

62,000gns foal; brother to 5.5f-6.5f winner Room Service (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 115), half-brother to winners Royal Advice (6f/7f; 80) and Green Clover (Polish 1m-1m2f including 2yo); dam placed 8.6f/1m1f, out of 1m4f/1m5f winner; yard 10% with 2yos last year and market should guide on debut. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ran his best race for Charles Hills when third of 12 in a 6f Kempton nursery 302 days ago; gelded during his absence and returns off a 2lb lower mark and with a hood fitted; interesting on stable debut (same owner). |
6/1 |
|
10 (10) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He isn't progressing but there was money for him at Wolverhampton 16 days ago (5f), only for him to be hampered leaving the stalls and then short of room soon after the start, ending up poorly positioned; didn't look straightforward in the home straight though and a wide stall isn't ideal for this free-going colt. |
7/1 |
|
9 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Finished closer when fifth of eight on nursery debut here (6f, good; 22-1) 13 days ago and he shaped as if moving up in trip would suit; needs markedly better but worth a second look. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Has found improvement from somewhere to go back-to-back here and it was by nearly 4l last time; hit with an 8lb rise but something has clicked; seems fine on all surfaces. |
3/1 |
|
1st 11 (10) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
No match for Maid In Devon three runs back but probably his best form yet when beating Solar Invincible over C&D 17 days ago; 4lb rise is fair enough. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
One win from 18 starts, on Kempton AW (6f) in January, but he's had some excuses and is now 4lb lower than when not beaten far over C&D (good to firm) on yard debut in May; tackles these conditions for the first time since so he's entitled to be thereabouts. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Had plenty of chances with him now 0-11 but he brings the best form and cheekpieces are back on after flirting with a visor last time. |
4/7 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden but he's knocking at the door, short of room when second of six at Sandown (7f, good to firm) on most recent outing; Oisin Murphy is a positive booking and the first-time visor could be an extra boost; high on the list. |
11/2 |

2nd 5 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-9 but twice runner-up and latest race at Ffos Las didn't suit his hold-up style; there's a race in him off this mark. |

9th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field in three maiden/novice events (6f/5f) but she's a half-sister to 7f AW winner God Bless America (RPR 76) so may yet do better now she steps up in trip and switches to handicaps. |
6/5 |

9th 10 (4) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Triple-figure odds, failing to make an impact at Chepstow or Windsor (both 6f); will soon be eligible for a mark, with nurseries likely to provide more suitable opportunities; look elsewhere. |
50/1 |

9th 13 (7) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

100-1 and she finished 7l behind Blue Orbit on Chepstow debut (seventh of eight) last month; opposable. |

9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden; not beaten that far when fifth of eight on seasonal/stable debut at Chester (7f, good) last month, but struggled to get competitive at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time hood) last time; no headgear today. |
20/1 |

9th 9 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Five-race maiden; beaten 2l when second of four at Ffos Las (6f, good) last summer on her final start for David Evans; held on her stable debut at Chester (7f) last time but that was her first start for 346 days and she may take a step forward now down in grade; hood applied for her AW debut. |

9st 8lb |
0-10 in handicaps since winning a Bath maiden (5.7f, soft) last September; second of ten at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in April, but has gone quiet again on turf since; cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Sharply regressive since winning a soft-ground Bath maiden (5.7f) last autumn, turning in three tame efforts since returned to turf; this is easier again but it's hard to find many positives. |

5f maiden winner at Goodwood (good to firm) last June; reached the frame for the third time in handicaps this year when fourth of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he'll need more to get his head back in front. |
