14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has cut little ice in a pair of bumpers and 1m novices at Pontefract and Thirsk this summer; very hard to make a case for. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third over hurdles at Taunton (extended 2m, good) in March but failed to match that level on starts either side; cheekpieces are now applied for handicap debut and, while his jumping has lacked fluency at times, he's hard to dismiss representing top stable. |
9/2 |
|
7th 13 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 0-4 on Flat for previous yard; has lacked fluency in two attempts over hurdles (2m) but managed to run well, clear third, at Taunton latest; may take another step forward, especially if jumping better. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Well related (including as half-brother to a useful jumper) but 0-4 in these colours on Flat for Roger Varian, modest form in his closest finish; weak 11-2, 33l sixth of nine in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury (2m, good to soft) for new yard last month, looking best watched for the time being. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
425,000gns yearling by Sea The Stars; fair form last July-September on all three starts, though apparently best when off the mark in a weak race at Hamilton (1m, good; made all) on second occasion; well beaten in a 1m2f Newmarket novice on final outing; after only three races, this handicap debutant could still be capable of better but it is needed. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
425,000gns yearling by Sea The Stars; found a weak race to get off the mark at Hamilton (1m, good) and now carries a penalty against classier opposition; in the right hands to progress, though. |
9/2 |

12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
425,000gns yearling by Sea The Stars; carried no great confidence in the market at Pontefract (1m, good; 3-1) but shaped with promise behind a talented winner; looks sure to progress with his racing. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden who was beaten a head when 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) last month; third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) next time but he was below his best at Nottingham (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; steps back up trip with headgear removed for his AW debut. |
7/2 |

2 (7) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who was turned over at 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) two starts ago, when beaten into second; however, he's since been third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) and that form gives him leading claims; it's possible first-time cheekpieces will be a plus. |
7/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo with some good efforts in novice and maiden events (1m and 1m2f), just run out of a Bath event (good to soft) 19 days ago; probably needs a bit more off this mark now handicapping but that's possible. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden came in only 11th in 1m novice here 16 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are reached for on his handicap debut with plenty to prove. |
33/1 |

10 (5) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
135,000gns yearling; well beaten in both starts over this trip on turf (the first for Donnacha O'Brien); probably one for handicaps. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Green and well held in big field at Cork (1m) in sole run for Donnacha O'Brien; sold for 6,000gns and gelded since; likely to be one for handicaps later on. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not without promise in three qualifying runs over 7f/1m in the summer; enough in his pedigree to suggest stepping up in trip shouldn't be a problem on handicap debut; worth a second look. |
16/1 |
|
10 (11) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Similar efforts over 1m at Pontefract and 7f at Doncaster, finishing fourth both times; again has frame possibilities on form. |
9/1 |
|
4 (8) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Harry Angel half-brother to winners over 5f (RPR 77) and 1m-1m2f (69); never involved when a well-held fourth at Pontefract (1m, good) last month but that was a useful maiden and he showed ability; now drops in trip but he should know much more this time and is one to keep an eye on. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Long odds-on when winning a 1m maiden at Pontefract (good) and achieved more in defeat when going down narrowly on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm); did get competitive some way out with Silent City which left both vulnerable when it mattered; much respected. |
7/2 |
|
2 (1) |
12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Well-connected filly who made a more experienced and promising Haggas filly work at Ffos Las in July and she didn't have to improve to get off the mark at Pontefract (also 1m, good) 16 days ago, proving game from the front; should be open to improvement now handicapping. |
