22nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after wins in Windsor novice event (1m, soft) and Chelmsford nursery (1m2f, AW; easily); bare figures suggest he's still well treated despite 8lb rise; improving colt who warrants respect. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed twice over 7f before displaying improvement to win quite valuable Windsor novice (1m, soft) 17 days ago; needs to transfer that progress to Polytrack on this nursery debut but ought to be suited by today's trip. |

1st 7 (3) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Similar efforts over 7f on good to firm ground, finishing third both times, latest at Yarmouth eight days ago (82 days after debut); gives the impression this extra furlong will suit; leading player at the weights. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reliable type who again gave his running when third of 14 over C&D at the Dante meeting (good); nudged up 1lb but that should not prevent another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 15 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Ended his 2yo season with a hat-trick; consistent efforts this term, good third at Beverley (7.5f) most recently; getting no respite from the assessor but is reasonably solid and likely to give his running. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Completed a hat-trick at Doncaster (6f) in November to end 2025 and he's continued in very good form this spring when in the frame in 7f handicaps at Southwell and Newbury; ought to be in the shake-up again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent once handicapping last season before finding 1m2f beyond him latterly; entitled to have come on for his recent comeback, having been gelded, and this is easier but he's vulnerable to improvers now. |
8/1 |

8th 9 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ran seven times last year and sole win came in four-runner nursery at Kempton (1m, AW); also effective on turf and gelded since last seen; however, unless he finds improvement he's vulnerable to less-exposed types. |
33/1 |
|
3 (3) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Steadily progressive colt who won small-field Kempton nursery (1m) last month, his fifth run, and was creditable third in quite valuable event at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last week; up in trip here; good chance. |
