30th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Outclassed in a valuable sales race in October but progressive going into that, culminating in a front-running win on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); 5lb higher for this return and 7lb claimer is recruited. |

May have another nursery in her despite the 5lb rise for August's success on the July course (made all) but looks a bit outclassed here. |

Given every chance when beaten 4.5l in a 6f maiden here and that was another step forward; should have races in her off this sort of mark and it would be a surprise if she didn't stay this far. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winning 5f debut; had wind surgery after abortive Royal Ascot run and only just failed to make a successful handicap debut at Newmarket (7f; form worked out) in August; challenge petered out on a quickish return at York (7f) but he still has something to offer at this level now back at 6f. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning debut in spite of the 5f trip here in May; down the field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, after which he underwent wind surgery; well backed on his recent nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) where he couldn't quite peg back a rival who enjoyed the run of the race; raised 2lb but it's unlikely we have seen the best of him just yet; stable won this race last year. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
260,000euros yearling; won at York (5f, good to firm) where he was niggled at from some way out but came home with purpose; well behind in the Coventry (6f) but has since had wind surgery and retains potential (has a Group 2 entry amongst other high-profile engagements); potentially well in off 85; dam won at 1m. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent once handicapping last season before finding 1m2f beyond him latterly; entitled to have come on for his recent comeback, having been gelded, and this is easier but he's vulnerable to improvers now. |
8/1 |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ran seven times last year and sole win came in four-runner nursery at Kempton (1m, AW); also effective on turf and gelded since last seen; however, unless he finds improvement he's vulnerable to less-exposed types. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Steadily progressive colt who won small-field Kempton nursery (1m) last month, his fifth run, and was creditable third in quite valuable event at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last week; up in trip here; good chance. |

9st 8lb |
Won three times for Karl Burke as a 2yo and ran a cracker when second at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago; hard to knock but he has had more goes than most of these and he was nudged up 2lb after Haydock. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins (one 5f and two 7f, including here) for Karl Burke as a 2yo; 50-1 and never threatened in a Newmarket handicap on his seasonal/stable debut last month (1m, good); gelded since; others look stronger. |
25/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 3-8 last year for Karl Burke and ran well in Newmarket contest (7f, good to firm) on final start; sold for 60,000gns since; the market signals may help to ascertain whether he'll return in the same form. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to form upped to 1m on last two starts, with an excellent second at Ripon (1m, good; probably acts on soft) on latest; by a sprinter out of 1m6f winner; others perhaps are a little less exposed. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to that form when a close third at Sandown, finishing just behind Assaranca (1m, soft); down another 2lb so hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Sprung a 16-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); two lesser efforts have followed but he faced a stiff task back at 6f at York's Ebor meeting three weeks ago; some encouragement for 1m on dam's side of pedigree but he's by a sprinter and it remains to be seen if he'll see it out, especially were the ground to deteriorate markedly. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Softening ground wouldn't harm having won his 7f Sandown nursery on soft and run perfectly well off his 4lb higher mark at Doncaster (good to soft); this is a different kettle of fish altogether and he probably lacks the scope for the improvement that he'll need. |
50/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Bounced back with a bang from a disappointing nursery debut when responding well to see off a short-priced favourite over 7f at Sandown (soft) 12 days ago; a 4lb rise doesn't look too severe with the front two clear and he's one of few in the line-up who has proved he's effective on going softer than good. |
16/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Comfortably held switched to nursery level last time, failing by a long way to back up his maiden/novice form; however, bred to do better yet, being brother to a fairly useful sort for his connections. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second of seven on his nursery debut last July (7f, good to firm) but that was followed by two lacklustre efforts (gelded before latest); back down in trip for his reappearance and goes in blinkers for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
11 (8) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form in qualifying runs and two nurseries, but it may be encouraging that his best form in the latter sphere came when second over C&D (good to firm) in July; has been racing freely so a gelding operation may have helped too. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Didn't look progressive in his qualifying races over 6f but was only a length away on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) and he was keen enough in that race; only 1lb higher and there's every chance he'll settle better this afternoon. |
