21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery winner at Leicester (7f, soft; from 4lb lower) last October; gelded over the winter and failed to see out 1m (good to firm) on seasonal reappearance at Redcar; may strip fitter, forecast rain is helpful, and Ethan Tindall claims a handy 5lb. |
10/1 |

10th 6 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Improved to win at 11-2 at Leicester (7f, soft) last October on his second nursery start; gelded since; he's on quicker ground for this reappearance but his pedigree provides optimism that he has more to offer. |
9/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Minor form so far, including when dropping out on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW; 11-1); needs to improve plenty for the return to turf. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Best effort when runner-up in nursery over C&D in October but he failed to fire in two subsequent AW runs to end 2025; needs to bounce back after a break. |
14/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Limited impact in first three runs but he shaped quite nicely in fourth of 14 on handicap debut here (6f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces), when keeping on steadily; a well-connected colt who should be capable of better now upped to 7f. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed in two turf handicaps last year, including at Leicester when last seen in October; first-time cheekpieces are added on reappearance; likely to be competitive if ready to roll. |
7/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to take to the AW two starts ago but he wasn't far away in turf handicaps over an extended 7f (good to firm) and 1m (good to soft) either side; a bare 7f can suit and on the premises again. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a gamble in a 7f handicap at Lingfield in January (in this headgear combination for the first time) but followed that with two lesser efforts; back on track when fourth at Kempton two weeks ago (finished behind Grand Echo and Electrocution); each-way shout. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden; gave a decent account until fading when fourth to the progressive Mohmentous at Redcar (1m, good; 9-1) a fortnight ago; dropping back to an easy 7f should suit so this stablemate of Hood Wink can't be discounted. |
9/2 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Poor form, although she did make some late gains for fifth on last week's C&D reappearance (good to firm) and may come on for the outing. |
12/1 |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Ran six times last year and finished no better than fifth, including in three nurseries in the autumn; improvement needed on reappearance. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has met his match in four sprint handicaps off similar marks to today's but was hampered at the start at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month before coming through to take a late third of nine; unraced on ground slower than good but looks worth a go over 7f; yard also runs Spartacus Warrior. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Not at his best on his last two starts (behind Martha's Shadow latest); even his best efforts need building on if he is to make it seventh time lucky. |

Little to show for early efforts but said to have been treated for physical issues before she was well supported for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) when winning with something to spare; up 7lb with very different conditions today but she looks promising. |

Kept on quite nicely when third of eight in 5f maiden at Bath (heavy) last month but she raced freely and couldn't sustain effort on handicap debut over 6f here (good to soft) this month; shade to prove over 7f. |

Half-sister to a 5f Listed 2yo winner; third of eight at Bath (5f, heavy) and that gives her a platform to build on now handicapping. |
