4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Brighton maiden on his second start but he's been found wanting under a penalty in three runs since; finished behind Proof at Salisbury in May and may do so again. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

No certainty to defy top weight, having failed to progress from Brighton success in two subsequent outings (5f); however, looks ready for a crack at this new trip and could go well. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up from last month's promising Wolverhampton debut when winning a Brighton maiden (5f, good to firm) 11 days later (a couple of subsequent winners behind); finished a creditable fifth of 11 behind a stablemate under his penalty in a Goodwood novice (5f, good) last time (in front of two of these) and one for the shortlist. |

Down the field in races over 5f and 7f, beaten about 6l both times; plenty to find on bare figures and looks likely to be more interesting when nurseries commence. |

Slowly away and couldn't get into it when ninth of 11 on last month's debut at Newbury (5f, good); however, he was sent off at just 7-2 and could be a big improver for his top trainer now up in trip. |

Showed clear promise in small field at Bath (5f, firm) while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; withdrawn from the Woodcote at Epsom on Friday due to unsuitable ground (good to soft); respected with progress on the cards. |

Last of seven in Ascot contest (5f) having been friendless in the betting; doesn't look an imminent winner and is best watched unless the market signals go the other way. |

Brings the worst form, having trailed home last of 13 at Windsor (6f) only eight days ago; seemingly thought capable of better, having attracted support. |

Shaped with a bit of promise in Windsor event (6f) but recorded a meagre RPR and needs to take a major step forward; yard is only 1-23 with 2yo runners. |

8st 13lb |
Seemed to need debut run, then fared better at Goodwood (6f, good) where she was beaten just over 2l in small field; leading player on the figures and would be an apt winner, with her trainer sponsoring this race. |

24th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

From the first crop of Supremacy, who won the 2020 Richmond Stakes over C&D for this stable; recorded a modest RPR over 5f at Ascot but may do much better in this scenario with the outing under her belt. |

Out of a 6f 2yo winner; showed promise in a Chester contest (5.5f) that is working out well and can be forgiven a lesser effort at Redcar (5f) having raced on the unfavoured side; remains open to improvement and is one for the shortlist. |

9-2, fair fifth to impressive stablemate on debut at Chester (5.5f, good) this month; there's a suspicion that was a useful race, and her dam was a talented 6f AW 2yo winner; one to consider on her second start. |
