16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a three-runner Southwell fillies' maiden on debut (5f) in April; hasn't kicked on from that since, including in selling company, and although she has a good weights chance, she does need to bounce back from a poor run at Newcastle 18 days ago. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beat two subsequent winners when winning three-runner event over 6f at Southwell on debut (only AW run); has struggled a bit on turf since, last time finishing only fourth of eight in a 7f Musselburgh seller; should do better back on AW. |
4/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Faced two stiff tasks after debut win (5f, AW); posted third-place finishes in nurseries the last twice, better than bare result at Ripon (6f, good) latest; respected at the weights, upped further in trip. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Different proposition since gelded, winning a Goodwood seller (5f, soft) and Ripon nursery (6f, good) in recent months; also has form on firm ground; up 4lb since Ripon but Warren Fentiman claims 5lb. |
16/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gelding operation has done the trick, with him winning a soft-ground Goodwood seller and running to a similar level in defeat since; didn't look to have any excuses on his first crack at this trip on his nursery debut (same mark) last Monday though. |

4th 4 (6) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gelding operation has done the trick, with him winning a soft-ground Goodwood seller and performing better again in defeat under a penalty at Bath last time (firm; stumbled at the start and hit traffic); trainer has made a good start with 2yos and he's one to consider. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Application of headgear yielded an upturn in fortunes but she was still springing a surprise when winning the 20-runner £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction at Newmarket (6f; 33-1) in August; failed to stay 7f in Sweden (fourth) latest; current mark looks perfectly fair if taking to AW. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
0-5; ran well to be second in a Ripon nursery (6f; first-time cheekpieces) but that would suggest her current mark is about right and therefore has something to find with the pick of these; now blinkered. |
20/1 |
|

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't look to see out a stiff 7f from the front on her nursery debut 12 days ago; has the rail draw if she gets away again in first-time cheekpieces but is starting to look exposed now. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
2yo campaign ended with heavy defeats in a nursery and Listed race; however, she won a soft-ground 6f nursery at Carlisle last September and could be a contender if getting her career back on track following a break. |
16/1 |

13 (7) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 6lb |
Best effort when making most to win nursery at Carlisle (6f, soft) in September; perhaps didn't stay 7f next time, although stamina wasn't the sole reason for a poor run; needs to bounce back and has plenty to find on form. |
66/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form to make all by half a length at Carlisle (6f, soft) ten days ago on her second nursery start, beating one who has posted wins either side; kept on well on that occasion and her dam was a 7f winner, both of which bode well for this step up in trip; respected under 6lb penalty. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
0-9 but with a tongue tie applied he returned to his best when second of five in a Beverley seller 13 days ago (5f, good to firm); that form isn't the easiest to assess and a 3lb rise won't help. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who has failed to back up last June's Carlisle effort (6f) and faces a difficult task at the weights in this field; first-time tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-7; runner-up in Carlisle maiden (6f, soft) last June but has failed to kick on; finished eighth (two places behind Dabbling) on comeback run at Catterick (5f, good; 10-1) three weeks ago; stablemate of Belling The Cat. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries on turf in July (the second in a match) and best subsequent effort when promoted to third over C&D last month; finished last of eight at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, though, and is already due another 3lb drop. |
16/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a nursery on his turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in July with first-time visor (retained since) and followed up in a match at Bath (5f, firm) seven days later; has not been in the same form in his three starts since and still to prove he is as effective on AW. |
6/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had plausible excuses in Class 5 the last twice, hindered by wide trip back on AW latest; may be better judged on July turf wins that give him a 2-2 record in Class 6; possibilities returned to this level. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; sported first-time blinkers when running out a surprise 33-1 winner on stable/seasonal debut at Navan (6f, yielding) 13 days ago; should go well again. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |

Maiden ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; wears blinkers for the first time on yard debut and market likely good guide. |
