17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Tried in Listed/Group races (no avail) after making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (5f) in April; fair sixth on first start for Charlie Clover in a competitive 6.5f nursery (12-1) at Doncaster's St. Leger Festival; mildly interesting to see what she makes of returning to AW. |

Campaigned over 5f for Karl Burke; drops back in class but doesn't seem to be crying out for this longer trip on debut for new yard; remains with same owner. |

8st 13lb |
Long odds-on when breezing clear on Wolverhampton debut in May; creditable front-running third in Listed event at York (5f, good to firm) next time but she was well below that form in the Queen Mary (Group 2) at Royal Ascot; still early days and now drops back in class but she's not the only pacesetter in this line-up and others are more persuasive. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Application of headgear yielded an upturn in fortunes but she was still springing a surprise when winning the 20-runner £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction at Newmarket (6f; 33-1) in August; failed to stay 7f in Sweden (fourth) latest; current mark looks perfectly fair if taking to AW. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
0-5; ran well to be second in a Ripon nursery (6f; first-time cheekpieces) but that would suggest her current mark is about right and therefore has something to find with the pick of these; now blinkered. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't look to see out a stiff 7f from the front on her nursery debut 12 days ago; has the rail draw if she gets away again in first-time cheekpieces but is starting to look exposed now. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (6f, Polytrack) on his third start but was unable to get involved on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) since; drops 1lb but on that evidence is not on an obviously lenient mark. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signs of ability first two starts but appeared to take a step forward for being gelded, clinging on by a fast-diminishing margin at Lingfield (6f maiden; 11-8 favourite) latest; that form has received a boost but this opening mark isn't a gimme and this stiff track also provides a sterner test. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has given superb value since the autumn, winning five 6f handicaps on the AW between October and January; even better in turf sprints since, landing a 6f handicap on the Rowley course here (good to firm) and finishing strongly to take second on his side to a handicap blot in the big 5f race at Royal Ascot; rock solid to go well back at 6f. |

9st 6lb |
Made hay on AW over the winter and then found another burst of improvement to win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; admirable as he is, this looks an extremely stiff task now dropping to 5f for the first time; sold for £200,000 at the Goffs London Sale on Monday. |

Productive gelding, mostly over 6f and on AW; prevailed by a neck in Newmarket handicap (good to firm) back on turf last time, taking record to 7-12; has bits of 7f form, including at Listed level; in the mix. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal. |

More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be. |

9st 8lb |
Made all in a valuable Musselburgh seller (5f, good) in June but has beaten a total of one rival in two 6f nurseries (good to soft/AW); down another 2lb and return to 5f may help, but enough to prove. |

Nice attitude when making all in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 8-13 favourite) in June; given a three-month break thereafter but failed to shine (bumped at the start) on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f; 8-1); now 3lb lower, with a 5lb claimer booked; AW debut; still early days. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries (5f/6f, good/AW) but he's taken backward steps in last two starts and was beaten around 8l at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last week; the slow ground may have been an issue but he needs to resume his progress at this new trip. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won first two nursery starts (5f/6f, good/AW) and didn't run badly when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last time; needs something extra today but that can't be ruled out; unproven on slow ground. |

A fair 6f winner as 2yo; nearest at the finish when a good fourth of 11 in 5f handicap here 11 days ago; very much one to consider back up in trip with a visor added. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved when winning a handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in September but pulled too hard at Newcastle next time; beat only one rival home at Catterick (6f, good) on her reappearance but she raced wide on that occasion and may well come on for it; drop back to 5f should be fine. |
8/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf. |
