9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Winner of an AW novice over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton last autumn; beaten at short odds on both starts since but recent handicap debut second back at Wolverhampton was creditable and she remains one who could have a bigger performance in her; steps up in trip for her return to turf. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Off the mark when landing a novice over C&D in October, but a bit disappointing when only fourth of six having been sent off odds-on for last month's Kempton return (1m, Polytrack); perhaps the run was just needed and the return here is a positive on handicap debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Improved with each of her three 2yo starts and won on AW debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in October when last seen; did it nicely and there can be optimism she'll have more to offer this season; respected. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Has had plenty of chances, runner-up on four of six maiden runs over shorter trips, most recently on turf return when clear second over 1m2f at Naas in late April; good chance she'll get this trip (Irish Oaks entry) but will need to improve for it. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 84y |
9st 3lb |
Rated 77; runner-up in three of four starts on AW including at this trip the last twice at Dundalk earlier this year; well held by Cape Primrose on sole turf start at Thurles on debut but that rival had the benefit of a previous run; in the mix if ready after break. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 7lb |
Lope De Vega filly has finished runner-up in 8.5f Wolverhampton fillies' novice in October and in C&D maiden last month when clear second to a lesser-fancied stablemate, having been slowly away; suspicion is she still has more to offer so could go well. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |

She has shown promise at up to 8.6f on AW; the longer trip and switch to turf aren't enough to earn her the verdict here though. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who made a lot of the running on her C&D comeback in late March off the same mark; that came in a small field against her own sex and this looks more competitive, so she'll need to step up. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last October on second start and similar form when third there (8.6f) later that month; cost 105,000euros in 2024 and could have more to offer; possible player on handicap debut. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Thrice-raced filly who is from a family that has served her owner well; faded into modest fourth over C&D on reappearance but looks open to improvement now handicapping with the outing under her belt and tongue-tie fitted; interesting contender. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field on her Kempton debut last October but she shaped with a degree of promise when keeping on for fourth in 8.6f fillies' novice at Wolverhampton 18 days later; hooded for her return; capable of better. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Half-sister to Nahraan (including AW/Listed; RPR 111), but finished a well-held fifth of six on her Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack; 9-1) 18 days ago; needs to improve. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Matched previous best when tongue tied and fourth in Newmarket maiden (1m, good; form upheld) on her reappearance in April; brings potential to this handicap debut. |
8/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Wootton Bassett filly whose autumn efforts comprised a promising fourth at Newmarket (7f) then lesser effort on AW; may show progress returned to turf with tongue-tie fitted. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
150,000gns yearling; kept on well when fourth of seven finishers on her Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm; 11-1) last month; subsequent wins by the second and sixth give the form substance and she is a half-sister to a dual AW winner; worth a second look. |

March foal by Ghaiyyath; 350,000gns foal; half-sister to winners Youth Spirit (7f 2yo/1m4f Group 3; RPR 112), Canberra Legend (1m/1m1f including AW/Listed; 109) and Tarbaan (1m-1m2f including AW; 89); dam unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Blaine; apprentice ridden on debut, but still interesting given her pedigree and the stable's record here; market crucial. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Didn't progress for Owen Burrows at around 1m last year and her stable/handicap/seasonal debut over 6f offered little encouragement last month; cheekpieces reached for. |
66/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Shaped with promise when fourth on her debut at Southwell (1m, good to firm) last August but she was well held in her next two starts (both at around 1m); has since left Owen Burrows and drops to 6f for her handicap/yard debut (same owner). |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Some promise when fourth of six on her Salisbury debut (1m, good to firm) in August, but took a step backwards at Ascot (1m, soft) last month; half-brother and dam both AW winners, but she may again be found wanting. |

Nathaniel half-sister to five winners, notably Flower Party (1m-1m2f including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 103); yard's first 2yo runner of the season; market instructive. |
