4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who scored from Ammes at Redcar when upped to 1m2f in April; creditable third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there (again 1m2f on good to firm) in May off this mark; very useful dam stayed 1m6f, so this new trip for her son could be within reach; may have more to give. |

3rd 4 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark. |
100/30 |

1st 3 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last September and he reappeared with a close second on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW); that latest form reads well and this unexposed 4yo is a major player up 2lb. |

7th 4 (4) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 7f Tapeta maiden for the Crisfords and doubled his tally on third and final run for William Haggas when winning by 11l on soft ground at Ffos Las in June (first-time cheekpieces worn then are now removed); wouldn't want to be flattered by that having gone up 12lb; joined current connections last month for 30,000gns. |

1st 3 (6) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) for the Crisfords last September; having been gelded he has only managed midfield finishes in both starts since returning for this yard last month, albeit he met trouble on the first occasion; could fare better with cheekpieces given a go. |
11/2 |
|
9th 7 (18) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won an AW maiden at Newcastle (7f) last September and ended his 3yo campaign for the Crisford stable with a good of 13 in a Yarmouth handicap (7f, good to soft) in October; having been gelded he was sent off favourite to make a winning start for William Haggas over 1m at Salisbury three weeks ago, but failed to pick up having had to switch to get a run; quickly reverts to 7f and remains with potential for his new yard; stall 18 not ideal, though. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Inconsistent seven-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some good late headway when fourth of 11 in a Haydock handicap (7f, good) 13 days ago; this step up in trip should suit on pedigree and he's in the mix with Jamie Spencer booked. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (11) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Last of six at Epsom (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago but he's shown glimpses of significant promise in his short career and is worth a second look in view of the excellent form of his stable. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Half-brother to winners Anner Castle (1m4f; RPR 93), Fumata (1m4f; 90), Royal Free Hotel (1m4f; 90), King Chaos (1m3f AW; 84) and Lion City (bumper); dam unplaced (74), sister to 1m2f winner, half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Simply Perfect; from a successful family, but best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten over 8l in two outings over 7f on AW in recent weeks; improvement needed switching to turf. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Modest form in a 7f maiden at Newcastle on her debut two weeks ago; a big step forward is required to feature. |
50/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
45,000euros yearling; second foal; half-sister to 1m2f winner Dolce Far Niente (RPR 60); dam unplaced 6f (54), sister to 5f 2yo Group 2 winner Sir Prancealot; would be a surprise winner on debut. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fair Invincible Spirit filly who wasn't disgraced after four months off under a patient ride when fourth of six in 7f Newcastle maiden 24 days ago; she can build on it now and rates a player. |
3/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
First-time hooded when close third in a 7f novice at Haydock in May; has been off for a while but clearly up to winning a race of this nature. |
2/1 |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close third on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last November; underwhelming there (7f) in December but the subsequent break may have helped and this well-bred filly remains of interest; wears a first-time hood. |
6/1 |
