13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has done well on turf this term and had an excuse (race didn't pan out favourably) behind Hot Cash at Carlisle in bid for a four-timer; however, has something to prove off current mark back on AW. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Unbeaten in three races since being gelded, scoring at Beverley (7.5f, good), Hamilton (8.5f, good) and last time at Chester (7.5f, good); could go well but put up 9lb for his latest win and was below par on only previous run on soft ground. |

Much improved in 2025 and bids for a hat-trick following wins (around 1m) at Beverley and Hamilton; suffered a troubled passage on latter occasion so a likely player despite a 4lb weights rise. |

9st 1lb |
Completed a hat-trick at Southwell at the turn of the year and readily resumed winning ways in 7f Goodwood apprentice handicap a week ago; escapes a penalty here so this likeable filly holds leading claims. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has only won on the AW but a consistent run of form in handicaps includes a third at Nottingham (good); looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims; fine at 7f or 1m. |
7/2 |

Most consistent since handicapping with a record of 111223; the three wins came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta), but she finished second of ten over this C&D in March; well drawn and high on the list with a tongue-tie given a go. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
AW maiden winner in March; second handicap run was better than her first and she still has time to do better again; unraced on slower than good but her half-sister Star Jasmine won on heavy; finishing effort at Chester last time suggests this stiff track will help. |
4/1 |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Solid record (312) over 7f, latest effort at Catterick switched to turf from AW; remains open to progress and should be suited by this extra furlong (half-sister to two 1m winners); interesting. |

Steadily progressive in four completed starts, beaten a length into second of nine on his Southwell reappearance (7f, AW; first start since being gelded) last month; has the form to figure on handicap debut, but wouldn't be sure to appreciate the longer trip on breeding. |

Promising effort in a 7f novice at Thirsk last year that worked out well; respectable handicap efforts beyond that trip this year and getting more cover than at Chester last time out should help; this first handicap over a bare 7f may well suit. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
RPRs show he's most effective on soft, being delivered late to justify favouritism at Ripon (1m; similar mark) last September; didn't get a crack at the prize - met sustained trouble - at Beverley (7.5f) latest, but that was still his best effort of the year; place possible. |

Nine runs as a 2yo, winning two of his final three starts, over 7f on soft and heavy; the race was likely needed on return to action (1m) but he didn't find much back over about 7f at Chester in June and now returns to 6f for the first time since quite a promising debut. |

Had nine races as a 2yo and he saved the best for last, winning a 7f nursery in the mud at Goodwood; should have no difficulty with this longer trip and he might be just as effective on good to firm as soft (second on only attempt), but he'll need another personal best after eight months off. |

Debut winner at Pontefract (5f, soft) early last season and knocking on the door on AW at Newcastle and Southwell (7f) later in the year; excuses for poor Chester run - drawn wide and hampered - latest but does need to bounce back in a newly applied hood; easing mark a plus. |
