10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Improved upon debut fifth (6f, AW) to win at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy) last month and he followed up in a novice at Newcastle (7f, AW); did it nicely under a penalty last time and could have more left in the tank; chance. |

Better than the result on AW debut and improved to win a maiden over an extended 7f in the mud at Ffos Las 16 days ago; may do better again. |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
22-1 when fifth of 11 on his Southwell debut (6f, AW) in July where he would have finished closer with a clearer run; wouldn't be sure to benefit from the longer trip on breeding, but that was still a promising start. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Travelled well when second over an extended 7f at Ffos Las (heavy) on debut and, dropped to 6f, he comfortably land the odds at Pontefract (good to soft) 16 days later; this demands a lot more but he does looks sure to improve again. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-4, travelled well and led over a furlong out when runner-up on recent debut at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy); he has a useful, speedy pedigree and holds attractive claims for his top yard now down to a sprint trip. |

2nd 6 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
April foal by Lope Y Fernandez; 52,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Kullazain (Group-placed 5f 2yo; RPR 96) and Swayze (5f/6f including 2yo/AW; 94); dam 5f 2yo winner (82), half-sister to useful/prolific 5f/6f winner Mokaatil, out of Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner; bred more for speed on the dam's side, but the stable's newcomers always have to be respected; market informative. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Six-race maiden who tackles 1m for the first time and could do with settling better, but the first-time hood could help in that regard and he kept on when fifth of 11 at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time; effective on soft/heavy ground last year and he might be in with a chance. |

5th 11 (4) |

9st 1lb |
Fair juvenile maiden; gelded/off five months and not disgraced given he went freely when eighth of 12 in 6f handicap at Southwell 20 days ago; needs to build on it. |

8th 1 (6) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise when fourth on his nursery debut at Doncaster in November but this keen-going son of Armor could still have more to offer on his return having been gelded. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record is 1-9, the win at Lingfield (1m) in February when wearing first-time blinkers; has somewhat regressed in the retained blinds since and can be opposed in another race that features several less exposed rivals. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Contrasting performances since fitted with blinkers, winning at Lingfield (1m) then last of four at Southwell; mixed messages, with the blinds retained. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
It was his seventh attempt and fourth handicap when he got off the mark in seven-runner race at Lingfield (1m, AW) two weeks ago, leading in the final strides with blinkers replacing cheekpieces; raised 2lb; today's rivals may have more improvement in them. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Started a short price on his comeback/handicap debut late last month, having been gelded, when getting involved in a dual up front and cracking late; trainer going well of late and this one's evidently felt capable off this mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Improved upon first two runs when seventh of eight in warm maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last September in a first-time hood (left off today); gelded since; pedigree provides hope that he will be better than his opening mark and connections had a 3yo handicap newcomer win over C&D last week. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only modest form shown thus far and she was tongue tied when last of five in 7f Newcastle handicap 23 days ago; she needs to take a big step forward. |

9st 2lb |
Stepped up on her debut effort (well held on heavy ground) when finishing fifth of nine at Leicester three weeks ago (1m, good to soft); can do better but she was behind two reopposing rivals on that occasion. |

Half-brother to seven winners; took a keen hold when a well-held sixth of eight on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm; 12-1) in June; blinkers given a go on this return from three months off and he needs to step up. |
