3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in one 1m novice as a 2yo and very nearly did so in another; 11-1 fourth of ten in Listed race here (1m, good to soft; Sacred Ground was second) on final start illustrated some limitations, sticking to her task well as if this longer trip would suit but, despite the Oaks entry, she probably has serious work to do in this company too. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in novice at Thirsk (1m, good) in August and went down only narrowly under a penalty at Kempton (1m, AW) the following month; may have more to offer but she's in deeper here and will need some improvement. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Achieved RPR of 81 when just giving best to Godolphin favourite on debut (7f) and recorded same figure when outstayed on heavy ground over this trip 22 days ago; fancied to go one better. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Clear second behind a well-touted Godolphin newcomer at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and that RPR of 81 is the best on show here; connections presumably not fazed by running him on slower ground here. |
2/5 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Handicap debut winner at Wolverhampton (upped to 9.4f, AW) in November but ran poorly both starts since, returned to turf when tailed off at Newmarket (1m2f, good; 40-1) latest; down in class but caution advised. |
16/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Sole turf run was debut (on good; last of nine); improved on handicap debut when seeing off his five rivals at Wolverhampton (upped to 9.4f, AW) in November, but ran poorly at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; raced widest and a bit freely) on last month's reappearance; needs to resume improvement. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Promise in novice/maiden company at 1m; improved for the step up in trip/switch to handicaps when seeing off five rivals at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in November, still looking to be a work in progress; 5lb rise asks a stiffer question of him on his return to action. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hit the front in the nick of time when justifying support on his Kempton AW debut in September but he was easily outpointed by a promising type on Southwell reappearance (1m) last month, when much more use was made of him; interesting to see the tactics on turf debut but should do better. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed prior to narrowly landing a 1m novice at Kempton last September, doing well to reel in the front-running runner-up; entered in the 2000 Guineas and open to plenty of improvement. |
2/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

40,000euros foal; 60,000gns yearling; Blue Point colt; fourth foal; brother to 7f winner Miakoda (including AW; RPR 69), half-brother to 6.5f-8.4f winner Tollard Royal (including 2yo/AW; 96); dam Listed-placed 1m1f-1m4f winner (95); trainer into double figures for 2yo winners this year; same ownership as I Can Dance; market can guide. |

30,000gns foal; 38,000gns yearling; by Ulysses; 12th foal; brother to 7f 2yo AW winner Giudecca (RPR 86), closely related/half-brother to six more including Integral (1m, including Group 1; 119); dam 6f-1m1f winner (including 2yo/1m Group 1; 118); already gelded; makes some appeal on paper; trainer has run just one 2yo this year. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has posted solid placed efforts this spring, third of nine in 1m4f Kempton handicap 33 days ago; a bit more is needed from 1lb out of the handicap here though. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Gelded prior to showing some improvement with third-place finish at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on handicap/sesaonal debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; receives plenty of weight all round and could go well. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has a smart pedigree but he was beaten 21l, 13l and 20l in his three runs in the autumn; now goes handicapping off a basement mark but he still needs major improvement after 168 days off; been gelded. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Never-dangerous fifth at Kempton (1m, AW) on handicap debut earlier in the month and ran respectable when third of 12 at Bath (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces; beaten around 9l) after stumbling leaving the stalls; steps up in distance. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in all four runs including when a never-dangerous fifth on recent nursery debut at Kempton (1m, AW); still early days but he needs improvement with cheekpieces added back on turf. |
8/1 |
|
6 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unable to land a significant blow in three maiden/novice races, the last two over C&D last month, but significant positives can be drawn from his latest run and further progress is possible in nurseries. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Encouraging third of ten at 11-1 in newcomers' race at Kempton (7f, AW) in August but a lesser run followed there (1m) last month and others in this line-up make greater appeal. |
33/1 |
|
10 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Battled greenness but managed to place in 7f newcomers race here last month (sent off 11-1); form nothing special but a similar outcome could ensue here. |
9/1 |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has proved reasonably consistent over 7f-1m on artificial surfaces, good third at Kempton most recently; however, pedigree raises doubts regarding this new trip and switch to turf. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Half-sister to two US dirt winners; wasn't disgraced in two runs at Meydan around the turn of the year, not looking to see out 1m latterly; this is less competitive back from a break. |
6/1 |

11 (10) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

12-1, creditable fourth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; dropped just 1lb, so needs marked improvement but these are early days. |

4th 3 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

Promise in three novice runs (7f-1m; best run on soft ground) as a 2yo; bred to appreciate the extra distance but she needs to prove this opening mark is in range. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
