21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed signs of greenness but he was beaten only a neck when second of ten on debut at Kempton (7f, AW; 25-1) ten days ago; that sets the standard. |

February foal by Alkumait; 13,000euros foal; 16,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Isle Of Avalon (1m4f AW; RPR 74), Miners Gamble (1m1f; 69) and Tigre Bianca (Italian 1m-11.5f including 2yo/AW); dam 1m4f winner (75), out of sister to 2yo Group 1 winners Listen (1m) and Sequoyah (7f); stable not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Wolverhampton nursery (7f, Tapeta) for Jack Morland last November, but well held in both starts since returning for this yard last month; needs to get back on track, but this is a drop in grade. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a weak C&D nursery for Jack Morland last November; beaten at short odds on his next three starts and he has been well held in two runs for Tony Carroll; too much to prove for comfort. |

Won a nursery for Jack Morland here (7f; off 3lb lower) last November; stamina inconclusive after finishing seventh of ten over C&D in March when making stable debut. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 7f as a 2yo; 22-1 and looked as though the run would bring him on at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) two weeks ago; career best required all the same. |
8/1 |

8th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice over 7f last summer and continued in good form in AW handicaps in the winter; back from a 170-day layoff here though (cheekpieces added) so needs to hit the ground running. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May, but he's not gone on from that and was beaten 9l at Nottingham last time; record is now 0-6 and he struggled in his only previous run on AW; bit to prove. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May and subsequent fifth at Newbury (1m, good to soft) came in a race that suited those ridden more patiently; has shown promise on good going; not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Best qualifying run over 1m and he found only one too good at Doncaster when back at that trip (good to soft) on handicap debut in May; up 4lb against unexposed rivals so improvement likely to be needed but conditions may be less of a problem for him than some. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Slowly away when down the field at Chester (6f, good; 6-1) on debut 41 days ago; now switches to AW (dam an AW winner) and steps up to 7f; more needed but he may well be capable of leaving that effort behind. |
10/1 |

8 (11) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
45,000euros yearling, 10,000gns vendor 2yo (April breeze-up sales); trainer among the winners and had a 2yo newcomer go in at Ripon on Monday but stall 11 isn't ideal for this first foal of sprinter Declaring Love, who improved with time. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
3yo who completed a double when landing a Class 4 handicap over C&D last month; well held in two quick-fire runs at Glorious Goodwood but he's back in calmer waters now and is a player if he can get back near best; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |
7/1 |
|
13th 10 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won five of 15 races, including this month at Thirsk and Newmarket (both 1m4f on good to firm); Wednesday's 1m4f handicap here was a much sterner test of his credentials and he came up well short at 28-1, so others are again preferred. |
9/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on July 1 and he followed up at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; clearly in good heart but those wins came in five-runner, Class 4 handicaps and this is a much sterner test of his credentials. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has progressed with every run and his form has a solid look; came from well back when leading late on at Doncaster (1m, good) at the start of this month; drops back 1f in trip but he's not short of speed; open to further improvement and high on the list. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Chelmsford third last August (first run for this yard, among the winners of late) worked out well and he improved on that when off the mark on Wolverhampton AW (7f) in September; looks to start handicap career on a feasible mark and he goes on the shortlist. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Five-race maiden, now with his third trainer; showed promise for Dylan Cunha last year but absent since last October; watching brief advised. |
25/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Minor promise in his three qualifying runs (7f-1m1f) but ran well when keeping on for second of eight on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) 13 days ago, shaping like this extra distance would suit; has since left Michael Keady (same owner); cheekpieces back on. |
5/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Dispayed only minor promise in his three qualifying races (7f-1m1f; cheekpieces tried last time) but ought to be a bit more competitive in this low-grade nursery. |

Struggled in three novice/maiden events (6f/7f) on AW since August; this new trip could help on nursery debut but she needs major improvement on this switch to turf; hood added. |

8th 2 (8) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Well-beaten 80-1 shot on last month's Chelmsford debut (7f); should leave that behind in time but still not easily recommended. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A maiden after 14 starts but looked suited by step up to 1m2f when coming from the rear to go close in this grade at Lingfield (good to firm) three weeks ago and has each-way claims at least if in similar form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
13-race maiden; placed in two AW handicaps in early part of this year (1m/9.4f) but beaten about 16l when fourth of five on turf return at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in June; must do better here. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to score but she posted a good second in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap and wasn't seen to best effect when sixth in 8.5f handicap there later in March; possibilities after a break. |
