25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Both runs at Brighton, winning on soft-ground debut over 7f but not in the some form when well-held third under a penalty over 1m on good to firm nine days ago; down 2f in trip now; the return to deep ground may help but he has lots to find on form. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
12-1 for maiden here (7f, soft) one month ago, held up and last of seven at halfway but leading over 2f out and soon in firm control, despite looking green; needs improvement to defy a penalty but that was a promising start. |
3/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
25,000euros breeze-up 2yo; third foal; half-brother to Swedish 7f winner American Lily (including 2yo); dam US 6f AW 2yo winner, sister to 6.5f/7f winner First Down, half-sister to winners Gold City (smart 6f/7f including 2yo) and Clear Water (7f Listed); has good pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut. |

2nd 5 (4) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Lingfield novice (11.6f) in June and scored in commanding style at Windsor (11.4f; second run in cheekpieces) in August; ran well again at Ascot (1m4f) on latest start but may have to find a bit more if he's to make this a successful AW debut. |
9/2 |

5th 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained reward for a host of consistent efforts when bagging Lingfield novice (good) in June; subsequently been getting the hang of handicaps and he made the breakthrough in that sphere with a commanding win at Windsor (also 11.5f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) last Monday; 7lb rise could have been worse and he's not one to take lightly despite the rise in grade. |
16/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Landed 11.5f novice at Lingfield in June; ran well in first-time cheekpieces when second of nine in 1m2f handicap at Chester 22 days ago; can race off a 1lb lower mark here so bold showing is on the cards in retained headgear. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has won three times, all on soft, at up to 1m2f this season, latest over 1m2f at Beverley; may improve again for this step back up to 1m4f. |
13/2 |
|
11th 18 (17) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
3yo whose three wins have all been on soft ground over 1m1f/1m2f, the most recent at Beverley two weeks ago; now 4lb higher and may not want the ground to dry out much, but there could still be more to come from this progressive sort; Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle. |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He recorded two soft-ground wins (1m1f/1m2f) in June and wasn't discredited over further on AW in two subsequent starts; stiff 1m2f might be his gig and any rain would be a bonus; interesting. |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who raised his game to win a steadily run, seven-runner race at Newbury (good to firm) three weeks ago when upped to 1m2f, always prominent; back up 3lb but may have more to offer at the trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) last October and has run with credit in handicaps over 1m/1m1f since returning in April, without looking ahead of his mark; this return to a longer trip may help, but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m novice winner at two and then gelded; slow starts weren't helping matters this season but raced in touch last time at Lingfield (1m1f) and they all bumped into an improver; could go well. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing in retained cheekpieces last time when making handicap debut and bidding for a Kempton AW double (1m3f); chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Found a bit when stepped up to this trip here five weeks ago, getting up in the final strides to beat the only other runner in camera shot; doubt he's done improving and Harry Davies chooses him over stablemate Toastmaster, who he's ridden in four of his five starts. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ran to a similar level in his first three races, though was turned over at odds of 2-5 here before taking a backward step when tried in cheekpieces at Lingfield; has a bit to prove on the back of that and he's been kept to 1m thus far. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Unplaced all six Flat starts; not disgraced when midfield off basement mark at Lingfield (2m, AW) three weeks ago, though, and Sheena West's prowess in this type of race should not be underestimated. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Beaten 9l or more in all five runs, including on his stable debut over C&D (33-1; first run since gelded) last month; that was after an absence but he needs to show a lot more on this return visit. |
20/1 |

5th 9 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Remote last at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (5f, good to firm) later in June; off 110 days and stepped right up in trip, but best watched. |
100/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off at 80-1 on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) a fortnight ago and it's highly likely she's best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
March foal; first foal; dam 5f AW winner (RPR 76), half-sister to winners Gallovie (6f-8.5f including 2yo), Star Mind (7f including 2yo) and Zuhair (7f-8.4f), out of Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner; has fair standard to aim at on debut and yard 0-12 with juveniles in recent years. |
