28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Well beaten when 200-1 for 1m AW maiden on Flat debut in September; now switched to hurdling with a hood fitted. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
First foal; dam 2m3f hurdle winner/placed 1m Flat (RPR 64), closely related to winners Gallante (French 1m4f/Australian 2m Group 1) and Plinth (smart 2m-2m6f hurdle/chase), half-sister to German 1m7f Group 3 winner Silence Please; hard to believe that this is going to be his game. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; also a maiden on the Flat, though was runner-up in a 1m3f AW handicap on final run in March; others are preferred. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who has raced mainly over 1m; ran respectably from the front at Kempton most recently; doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to a middle distance. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden including three runs over hurdles; showed some early promise on the Flat but he's not progressed and has finished down the field in three handicaps at Lingfield (1m2f/1m) this year; down the list. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage 4yo, who won an AW maiden (1m) for George Boughey last autumn but he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this season; has lots to prove and needs a major revival back in trip. |
33/1 |
|
10th 8 (9) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage AW winner who trailed home last of 12 at Newmarket on stable/seasonal debut; best watched unless the market suggests he's likely to leave that effort behind. |
20/1 |
|
12th 6 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Built upon previous promise (including on turf) to win maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW) last September; 3l third of 12 on handicap debut there (1m, AW) in October on final run for George Boughey; sold for 50,000gns later that month; unexposed but lacks a recent run and he needs to be better than ever if he's to make a winning stable debut. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
0-7 but third in both visits here, the latest over 1m4f last month (winner has gone in again since); looked as though he would get further there and worth a second look. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 11 (3) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Denied a clear run when keeping on for third here (1m3f) last month on second handicap start; failed to match that when fifth at Kempton (1m4f) ten days later but the return to Southwell could boost his claims. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Posted an improved effort when getting off the mark at the sixth attempt at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 18 days ago, beating a subsequent winner; a 4lb rise looks fair and he's open to further progress, albeit he does have his stamina to prove for this longer trip. |
9/2 |
|
1st 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Closest finish when beaten 6l on latest start but still managed only ninth of 11 in that 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampon (Tapeta; just 7-1) when tongue tied first time, after 231 days off; lightly raced but lacks solid claims. |
7/1 |
|
9th 8 (11) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't finished within 11l of the winner in four starts; needs a transformation back from eight months off with a tongue-tie applied. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden; off eight months and not disgraced on his handicap debut with fifth of 11 at Leicester (1m2f) in May; needs to build on it here. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Son of Teofilo who cut little ice in a trio of runs in 2025, seventh in 1m Lingfield maiden in September; lots more is needed on his return/handicap debut. |
33/1 |
|
6 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well held in both starts, including on stable debut after having been gelded at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month; handicaps beckon. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second of nine on his debut at Southwell in March (7f) but he hasn't built on it in three runs since, including tried in blinkers on his stable debut four weeks ago (1m); goes handicapping with a tongue-tie fitted but he has a point to prove at present. |
20/1 |
|
7 (2) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Looked promising when dead-heating for second of nine on his Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) in March, but didn't build on it in his next two starts; makes his stable debut (same owners) in first-time blinkers after four months off; a player if rediscovering his debut form. |
9/4 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
150,000gns yearling; made a promising start when dead-heating for second at Southwell (7f AW) in March and the step up to 1m seemed to stretch him at Newbury (eighth of 12) last month; gelded since and cheekpieces are now added but he sets a good standard on his initial form and is a key player back in trip. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ex-Jamie Osborne; poor form in maiden/novice company at up to 1m4f and needs to improve on handicap debut. |
20/1 |
|
8 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
No promise in two starts, including on stable debut at Ffos Las (1m, soft) last month (behind Redbud Sixteen); hard to recommend. |
66/1 |
|
3 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
100,000gns breeze-up 2yo; took a while to make the track given her sales profile and she didn't show much at a biggish price at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; left Jamie Osborne for 2,500gns since and can only be watched on stable debut. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two easy wins from the front in recent weeks, appreciating the step up to this sort of trip back on turf; due to be 4lb higher from tomorrow, after last week's Newbury demolition, and her claims are obvious for a yard bang among the winners. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Bolted up under a positive ride to make it sixth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m2f, good) nine days ago; likely to go up a good deal more than her 5lb penalty, but whether her rivals will allow her as much rope this time is uncertain. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (10) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-race maiden whose form dipped in 1m AW contest on stable/handicap debut when last seen; 33-1 that day and the betting may again give some guidance. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Came on plenty as a 3yo, winning a 7f turf novice and her handicap debut on Newcastle AW (1m); showed her mettle back on turf at Ascot (1m, good) in May, when dividing subsequent winners of a Listed race and the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot, and there's a good chance she can do just as well in a strongly run race back at 7f; has every chance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Limited action so far but she ended 2025 in fine fettle, finding plenty to win a 7f Leicester novice (good) and was not at all hard pressed to win on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m, AW); useful comeback run when runner-up on Southwell AW in April and should come on for the outing; further improvement likely. |
