2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Impressive on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and tapped back into that promise when beaten just a nose in a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last time; respected now he's back on song. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Wasn't quite up to Coventry level and subsequently seemed unsuited by rain-softened ground at Glorious Goodwood; interesting in this lower grade returned to Windsor, having scored comfortably over C&D on debut. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) where he had the pace to be handy before skipping clear when it mattered; it was only 15 days later when he performed below market expectations in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (12-1) and this Group 1 entrant is dangerously unexposed on this handicap debut; should have no trouble staying 7f. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Chepstow novice winner (6f, good to firm) who won a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month; no threat for the first two when third in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was still a good performance and he could be a contender now down in grade. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Narrowly justified favouritism in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) last time when looking well treated on his earlier second behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; steadily progressive but this is harder. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Below-par favourite in French sales race (soft) last time; has progressive form on home soil, most recently second under a penalty at Thirsk (6f, good) behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; opening mark looks workable. |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Finished close-up in two 5f novices (good to firm/good) prior to his fourth on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when shaping as though the return to 5f would suit; not ruled out. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Represents notable connections; gelded prior to close and rallying third at Musselburgh (good) in latest 5f start; open to progress now handicapping and looks ready for a crack at 6f; warrants respect. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |

Did too much up front on debut; couldn't quite get the job done when favourite at Redcar (5f, good to firm) since but ran well despite losing a shoe; subsequently gelded; one of the main form contenders. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) for Raphael Freire in July but that was a narrow success and she's taken backward steps in two nurseries since; now returns to quicker ground but she's not really progressed and others are more persuasive. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Narrowly justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire in June; solid effort, despite hanging, when third of eight in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) at the start of the month and far from discounted back down to 5f. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire, while shaping as if this return to 6f is worth exploring; may build on that success. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Still a maiden after 12 runs and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he returned to turf with a respectable fourth at Goodwood (7f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) last week and this race is easier. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
13-race maiden who has finished placed on numerous occasions, including when third in a Newcastle maiden (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; should be fine back at this trip but he has something to find on the figures and may have to settle for a supporting role again. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in three novice events but has been below that form in three nurseries since; handicapper has dropped him another 3lb and he sports first-time tongue-tie, with first-time visor replacing the cheekpieces worn on last two starts; possibilities if able to reproduce his earlier form. |

Runner-up in three of his seven starts including two AW novices, at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) in June; well held in two turf nurseries (6f/7f) since being gelded, though; needs to bounce back. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a maiden over C&D last June when trained by Jack Channon; she has been well below that form for current yard this year and the step back up in trip needs to spark significant improvement. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Won her maiden here last summer (7f) and this is the easiest race she's run in since handicapping; two poor efforts last month will need completely overlooking however. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Ran creditably last time when bidding for a 6f double (maiden previously); proving consistent and has form at 5f; in the mix, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces. |
7/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough last week at Ripon (6f, good) and the 4lb rise could have been worse as the front two pulled nearly 5l clear; obvious chance in this weak race. |
