18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sent off market leader for both his nurseries since being gelded and was second in the first; last week's run was too bad to be true and the ability is there should blinkers buck his ideas up. |
4/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded after three quick runs in the spring; unable to justify warm favouritism at Musselburgh on last month's nursery debut but he didn't enjoy a clear run through; winner hasn't advertised the form either but he's drawn on the rail and still has low mileage. |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) in July but she's finished down the field in three runs since and latest was on slow ground at Carlisle (6f) 11 days ago; still 3lb higher than for her win and she needs to raise her game at this new trip. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Musselburgh (5f) in July and not discredited when fifth of eight in 6f nursery at Southwell 23 days ago; one to consider eased 1lb. |
10/1 |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a five-runner race at Musselburgh on nursery debut last month but she underperformed, again trying to come from off the pace, in another one over that same C&D (5f, good) ten days later; needs to resume progress on this move up to 6f for AW debut. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored narrowly at Catterick (5f) on nursery debut; has failed to repeat that form since and was well behind Dragon Spin switched to AW most recently; something to prove. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Justified favouritism on nursery debut at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in July but that was a narrow success and she's been vulnerable in both runs since; still lightly raced but she needs to find more on this switch to AW. |
11/2 |

6th 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scrambled home at Catterick on her nursery debut last month (5f, good to firm; sent off favourite); not so good when fourth at Musselburgh three weeks ago (Haberdash second) and needs to raise her game. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
May have needed her comeback from nine months off at Musselburgh a few weeks ago but that was a poor effort; has to leave that well behind. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up twice in nurseries at Catterick (5f/6f) last summer; her C&D third on good ground towards the end of July was also creditable but she hasn't been seen since. |
6/1 |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Closely matched with Oasis Diamond on their Catterick clash (5f) and didn't quite see out the 6f (good to soft) back there last week when 5lb well in; new mark has since kicked in but, back at 5f, she should go close. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has weak claims on his sprint form; failed to beat a rival in last three outings; new trip needs to make a big difference. |
33/1 |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
0-5; no better for being gelded or the addition of blinkers when last to finish on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good; 12-1); now has much to prove. |
14/1 |
|
8 (1) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Four-race maiden who has weak claims on form; combination of physical tweak (gelded since last start) and first-time headgear needs to have significant effect. |
12/1 |
