27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Just denied over this trip at Newmarket on debut then got off the mark up to a mile at Hamilton; this demands plenty more back down in trip. |

1st 1 (7) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
90,000euros yearling who belied his 50-1 odds when staying on strongly for a neck second in newcomers' maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, splitting two Godolphin runners; today's extra yardage may well be a positive and he's the one to beat. |

90,000euros yearling; first foal of a French 5.5f 2yo/7f winner (RPR 87), herself a sister to a German 1,000 Guineas winner; stable not renowned for 2yo winners. |

3rd 3 (6) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a neck on first two runs before his front-running and rallying fifth of eight in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm; sole run in cheekpieces) in October, just over 2l behind third-placed Del Maro; clear before halfway when 11-10 for a four-runner novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago but had to battle for a short-head win; while he still looks a work in progress and 1m4f+ is likely to suit, he'd be a surprise winner of this. |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a neck on his first two runs last year before excelling himself to finish fifth in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in October; should go close if ready to roll. |
4/9 |
|
6 (2) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten a neck in maiden at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) and novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft); did his best work late on last time (wears cheekpieces today) and that was promising for 1m2f but he is bottom of this pack on ratings. |

21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise with third of six, behind the market leaders, in similar event over C&D (good to firm) one month ago; one of the main form contenders. |
9/4 |

3rd 3 (8) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
40,000euros yearling; first foal; dam placed 7f 2yo-1m4f (RPR 78), half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Sumiha, out of Group-placed 1m2f winner; trainer had a 2yo newcomer win at 33-1 last month but this Mehmas debutant is probably one for further down the line. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11-1 when well beaten on debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) 19 days ago; subsequently sold out of Harry Eustace's yard for 4,000gns; a watching brief is advised on stable debut. |
33/1 |

34,000euros yearling, resold 52,000gns yearling; second foal; half-sister to Slovakian 7f-1m1f winner Termini; dam 6f AW winner (RPR 79), half-sister to French 1m2f Group 2 winner Pinson; market should be informative. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Wasn't beaten as far as previously when making handicap debut last time (6f) but achieved another duck egg; form claims are not strong. |
20/1 |

11th 8 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held on all three starts (trained by Iain Jardine on debut) but low-grade handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. |
33/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well held on both starts seven months apart (trained by Iain Jardine on debut); likely outsider. |

Minor form in these colours for David O'Meara and drops in trip here with a hood added; risky. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Soundly beaten fifth of seven at 11-1 on recent debut at Catterick (7f, good) but this 90,000gns foal has a useful pedigree and it will be interesting to see if he's stronger in the betting today; one of two for yard. |
