Moderate form in seven unplaced starts and comfortably held at this level latest (1m2f, Polytrack); more needed. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Remains low mileage but he's yet to offer much, hood back on when seventh in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap 13 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

Safely held on bumper debut in April and in two Flat maidens for new stable last month (7.6f/11.6f); can't be recommended here. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year but hasn't come up to scratch subsequently and needs to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |

Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year but needs to bounce back from some lesser runs since. |

9st 11lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year and he got no run when down the field in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July; however, he was soundly beaten at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time and has to raise his game. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who has been beaten at least 11l in each of his five starts (5f-8.5f), including on handicap debut (6f, AW) in May; drops back to 5f in first-time blinkers. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Weak form claims having come up well short off a basement mark on handicap debut; four runs have been from 5f to 8.6f. |

7th 7 (4) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to beat a single rival on first two starts, and fared only marginally better when seventh of 12 in a 7f maiden here (300-1) in February; gelded, and off for three months since, but does make handicap debut at an appropriate level. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Got up late to land a 7f Carlisle handicap (soft) in May; returned to form when runner-up back at Carlisle (7f again) last month but well held over 1m on soft at Ayr the following week; effective on Tapeta but has yet to prove he stays this far. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Got up late to land a 7f Carlisle handicap (soft) in May; back on that winning mark and returned to form when runner-up back at Carlisle (7f, good) last Wednesday, shaping as if worth another go over 1m; bit of a tricky customer but has to enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Got up late to win a C&D handicap (soft) in May; runs off the same mark after three subsequent defeats but this tricky customer looks opposable for win purposes. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Form figures of 221 reflect a solid start to her career, scoring comfortably at Redcar (7f, good) most recently; this $625,000 daughter of Kingman looks the type to progress further but this is a jump in class. |
12/1 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Second to Remmooz (now rated 102 by BHA) on debut at Doncaster (7f, good) and was obliged to race without cover when beaten by her main market rival at Chester last time (7.5f, good); will be hard to beat against just her own sex here. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has the fewest convictions of these but failed to raise her modest profile when behind Desert Dream at Beverley. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
The least exposed of these; very modest form in three qualifying runs around this trip but it was a good Chester maiden she was beaten in last time and that represented a step forward; not dismissed on handicap debut. |
7/1 |
|
6 (5) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Poor form in finishing down the field in maidens over similar trips at Thirsk and Beverley; low-grade handicaps await. |
