8th 10 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unexposed after only four runs but ducked sharply left at start and was soon struggling on recent nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f; 66-1); sports cheekpieces today; big leap of faith required to support him. |
40/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Showed the right attitude when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) off a 2lb lower mark early last month but then made it six poor efforts from six starts on turf at Beverley a fortnight later; that leaves him with it to prove. |
12/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Had stable companion Harswell River (2lb better off) just behind in fourth when winning a Southwell nursery on AW debut last time (well-beaten fifth in a C&D nursery previous start); up 2lb; a possible. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

No improvement for the switch to minor nurseries on his last two starts; hopes appear to rest on the new surface having a positive effect. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten in his first two starts and it was no better in a seller at York (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 13 days ago on his first start since being gelded; drops back to 5f with others preferred. |
66/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Soundly beaten in maidens at Pontefract in April (5f, good) and at Leicester (5f, good to firm) early last month; has since been gelded; cheekpieces now tried; more needed on first run at 6f. |
25/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has met his match in four sprint handicaps off similar marks to today's but was hampered at the start at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month before coming through to take a late third of nine; unraced on ground slower than good but looks worth a go over 7f; yard also runs Spartacus Warrior. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Not at his best on his last two starts (behind Martha's Shadow latest); even his best efforts need building on if he is to make it seventh time lucky. |

Placed in two turf handicaps last year, including at Leicester when last seen in October; first-time cheekpieces are added on reappearance; likely to be competitive if ready to roll. |
7/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to take to the AW two starts ago but he wasn't far away in turf handicaps over an extended 7f (good to firm) and 1m (good to soft) either side; a bare 7f can suit and on the premises again. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win in 5f Beverley maiden last July and ended 2025 with good placed efforts in 5f nurseries over C&D and at Musselburgh in September; resumes from nine months off, having been gelded, but not out of things for his in-form yard. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thoroughly exposed but he is a reliable sort and comes here on the back of two good nursery efforts (5f); returning to 6f in his favour; just held by Carnation Queen on their York run in June but still high on the list. |
9/2 |
|
1 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

Record is only 1-10, the success in a maiden; however, creditable second in Thirsk nursery (5f) last Saturday and may remain competitive. |

Colt by Mayson; bred by his trainer who bought him back for 1,000gns as a yearling; fifth foal; brother to 5f 2yo winner Vivacious Boy; dam 7f/1m winner; worth a market check on debut. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden but he was in pretty good heart this spring on his two starts for Stephen Hanlon (6f, AW/good) and shaped each time as though this return to 7f could be a positive move; possible player. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Placed a few times for Jennie Candlish, including on turf, and again when third of eight on 6f Wolverhampton stable debut 37 days ago; ought to be competitive. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed a few times for Jennie Candlish but last of ten at Southwell (6f) in January on final run for that yard; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from intended stable debut at Newcastle this month (9-2 at the time) when all headgear was removed (same today); might be best watched. |

Already looks exposed but he ran his best race in nurseries when fourth of nine at Catterick two weeks ago (6f, good); new cheekpieces need to give him a lift. |
16/1 |
|
6 (3) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in the Rous Selling Stakes at York (40-1) in June but has failed to kick on positively since; behind both Maasai Mata and stablemate Preminision when fifth at Thirsk (6f) on penultimate start and has slipped to a career-low mark; question marks linger. |
10/1 |

9 (1) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Some way off the front pair when third in a June York seller and has struggled since, the last twice in nurseries; tongue-tie goes on and the handicapper's already relenting but others hold stronger claims. |

She hasn't been able to capitlaise on the handicapper's help this term and was beaten nearly 4l off this mark at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) on Monday. |
12/1 |

10th 3 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Best spell of her career was around this time in 2025, including a second here (7.5f, good to firm) and a career-best win at Musselburgh (7f, soft) when 11lb higher; has had a largely underwhelming 2026 by comparison but her Ffos Las third last month suggests she shouldn't be written off. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Taken a while to find her level again this year but she's been competitive since the visor went on; again didn't find as much as had looked likely on Tapeta last Thursday but she holds each-way claims. |

Extended her trainer's fine record in the Rous Selling Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) when winning last June; not at her best on her final two starts last year, but more like it when fifth at Newcastle (6f AW; with Taaklam two places ahead) 17 days ago; stablemate of Dabbling. |

Didn't progress for Marco Botti but there were the odd flickers of ability; well beaten on stable debut 12 days ago but 1m was too much of a test, especially given how freely she raced early on; Oisin Orr 2-9 for the stable and she could have a bigger run in her back sprinting. |

Respectable efforts in three 5f handicaps of late but she has her work cut out at the weights with Doilookokay on their Leicester run last week when they finished second and third; others higher up the list. |
