3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-German; well held in two maidens for Marco Botti last year and a similar story in two novice events for this stable; gelded since last seen in February and has cheekpieces back on for his handicap debut, so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise, amid greenness, with close fifth of eight in 1m maiden on Lingfield AW; half-brother to a C&D winner for his notable connections and looks interesting with improvement on the cards. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to 1m2f AW winner Ehtiram (RPR 81); unraced dam closely related to smart 1m4f/1m6f winner Naqeeb, half-sister to winners Baaeed (1m/1m2f including multiple Group 1) and Hukum (1m-1m6f including 2yo/Group 1); plenty to like on pedigree and wouldn't have to be anything special to play a part; market crucial. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off favourite/joint favourite for two handicap starts this month but he has finished in midfield on both occasions; clearly felt capable of better but he needs to do it on the track and he will be another 2lb lower from the weekend. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Backed into favouritism for his 1m3f Kempton handicap debut 15 days ago but never seriously threatened in sixth; it'll be interesting to see whether his supporters are prepared to give this lightly raced sort another chance. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
3,800gns 2yo; by Make Believe; sibling to two winners, notably Sajir (5.5f-7f including AW/Group 1; RPR 124); dam Group-placed 6f AW 2yo scorer (91); purchase price suggests he may lack significant potential. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All six starts on AW, winning 1m2f Chelmsford novice and 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap in the autumn; only fifth at Chelmsford next time but resumed his progression when second of eight over 1m3f at Kempton nine days ago; that appeals as solid form and he's likely to have a big say off the same mark (2lb higher from Saturday) if his stamina holds over this significantly longer trip (pedigree provides hope). |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m2f novice at Chelmsford in October and followed up in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton one month later; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Southwell 12 weeks ago but that was a Class 2; still has low mileage and he commands respect. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Looked in need of the experience when fifth of six on debut over C&D and stepped forward from that when a 4l third of nine at Kempton (1m4f, AW) eight days ago; step back in trip isn't sure to suit but he's open to further improvement. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
All the rage in the betting for both starts this term; the line came a touch too soon for his strong finish at Newbury (1m2f) on handicap/seasonal debut, while trying to come from further off the pace did not work out at Ascot on the step up to 1m4f but he did muster some late headway (despite hanging right); that sees him upped further in trip today with first-time headgear; it will be interesting to see whether his backers dare go in again. |

6th 10 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
All the rage in the betting but found the line coming just too soon for his strong finish when second (Bulletin close up in third) of 14 to Rathgar (won again since) on 1m2f Newbury handicap debut and reappearance three weeks ago; that first experience of a big-field handicap should aid his development and he left the strong impression 1m4f will suit; leading claims with further improvement highly. |
7/4 |

2nd 3 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close on good ground on both turf starts, latterly over 1m2f at the Newmarket Craven meeting last April; gelded that July and won a novice at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW; easily in the end at 1-3) in October, which makes him unexposed and promising for this seasonal and handicap debut for in-form yard. |

9st 10lb |
Four-race maiden who ran with promise, keeping-on fourth, in amateur riders' handicap at Leicester (1m4f) last week; may be capable of progress upped further in distance; interesting. |
