17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Upped 2f for his nursery debut at Kempton last month (1m) and made all to record a wide-margin success; beaten favourite at Chelmsford ten days later and now has a 3lb higher mark to deal with; not fully exposed at the trip though and returning to turf shouldn't be an issue. |

2nd 4 (2) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Failed to threaten in three 6f races on turf but proved a very different proposition when switched to the AW for nursery debut at Kempton where he made all for an easy success (1m); 5lb well in even with a penalty and he did cost 115,000gns as a yearling. |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Not really threatened in three starts over 6f on turf, but is bred to be better than that and this trip is more in line with his pedigree; market support would be significant on nursery debut. |

9st 0lb |
Won a 1m Salisbury nursery in first-time blinkers in August but has been tailed off in her last two races; always a chance that another change of headgear could trigger something. |

The only previous winner in this field, having opened her account in Salisbury nursery (1m; first-time blinkers) in August; has failed to back up that form in two starts since, however. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beat two rivals on nursery debut at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) in July and, having been gelded, finished third of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) last month when not taking the home bend too well; won't have the same problem here and should go well. |
9/4 |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in his first three starts and only beat two rivals when making a successful nursery debut at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) last month; gelded since and now 3lb higher, but he is still respected for stable that is 6-25 (24%) here in past five seasons. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden; second in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) on seasonal debut in April and put two lesser efforts behind him when sixth there (8.6f) last month but needs to find something extra over this new trip; wore blinkers or cheekpieces for last five races but goes without headgear today. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Clear second to a well-treated winner on comeback here in April but nowhere near meeting market expectations in three other handicaps; this race is easier, though, for a yard that ended a dry run with two jump winners last Friday. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Pulled hard then folded tamely at Beverley (1m2f) last time, failing to back up his reappearance effort (good second over 9.5f on AW); may benefit from this drop back in trip, combined with change of headgear. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won a small-field nursery at Chepstow (1m, soft) last September; three heavy defeats this year see him drop to 0-50 company; cheekpieces now tried. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Seventh start as 2yo when he won a weak Chepstow nursery (1m, soft) in September off 3lb lower; behind at Windsor on both starts this term, despite good to soft ground last time; upped in trip but others are preferred. |
9/1 |
|
10th 6 (7) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a weak soft-ground Chepstow 1m nursery in September off 3lb lower; the ground was fast when down the field here 16 days ago and he's of greater interest under these conditions. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Eight-race maiden who was twice third on the AW last year but has been well held in five starts on turf, including here over 1m2f in April when last seen; drop back in trip needs to make a difference. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven defeats include four handicaps and she was well held when twice placed; still commands some respect in this modest handicap given she's shown ability and has dropped to a career-low mark. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Registered an improved effort when chasing home a subsequent winner at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm; Fletcher seventh) one month ago; could be getting his act together and he needs consideration. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Always behind when 50-1 for seasonal debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; Panthere Noir third) one week ago; needs to have taken considerable benefit from that outing. |
50/1 |

11th 15 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Well held in four starts last summer (6f-1m), latterly on his nursery/AW debut; would want to see some support this time back from such a layoff. |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Weakened into fifth on last week's nursery debut here (1m; blinkered first time) but he shaped much better than that, ultimately paying the price for trying to match strides with the easy winner; drops back to 7f and remains capable of better. |
8/1 |
|
8 (3) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has beaten a total of one rival in three starts over 5f-6f on turf; gelded since last seen and blinkers given a go, but a big transformation is needed stepping up another 2f in trip on nursery debut. |
10/1 |
|
8 (3) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Sands Of Mali colt has offered little in 5f Beverley novice and 5.5f Bath maiden this spring; significantly more is required. |
66/1 |
