10th Oct 2021 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well-bred colt from a useful Aga Khan family; progressive form in four starts in Ireland, showing promise on good to yielding ground; beaten at 2-5 in maiden at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) on British debut but the winner that day has gone in again since; could still be unexposed. |

22nd Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent miler on the Flat for Chris Wall; has taken well to hurdling, third at Newbury on debut and beaten only a neck at Huntingdon (2m, soft; headed towards finish) 16 days ago; open to further improvement, and an interesting contender as he moves in to handicaps. |

6th Mar 2022 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent miler for Chris Wall and he handles soft ground; later bought for 44,000gns; didn't look a natural hurdler at Newbury (soft) so did well to be beaten only 10l and was 11l ahead of Accidental Legend; if finding greater fluency he should be bang there. |

Largely consistent 1m handicapper on Flat last year for Chris Wall, including a soft-ground success (RPR 86); sold for 44,000gns since last run; however, may need a sharper 2m now hurdling. |

Low-mileage maiden who returned from wind surgery (and lengthy break) with a highly credible keeping-on third of 19 on soft ground at Goodwood; this is tougher but he'll be fresher than most and is not to be underestimated. |

Front-runner who made it 0-8 on the AW when nowhere at Southwell 12 days ago; of greater interest back on the grass (three-time winner) and this mark is by no means beyond him; trip/ground fine. |

30th Nov 2021 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Has something to prove in this scenario, having raced exclusively at shorter and gained both wins over 6f on heavy ground; however, looks worth a crack at this new trip judged on his 1m efforts this autumn; possibilities if indeed he proves suited by the experiment. |
6/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
11th Nov 2021 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins were gained on heavy ground last October (sole AW run was time before); insufficient impact in handicaps this term, returning to heavy going when fifth of 18 at Newbury in first-time visor on latest outing; edging down the weights but others look more solid. |

Goes well here where he is a dual 1m winner and has been placed five times over C&D (two of those from his last three starts); 1lb drop should ensure that he is thereabouts again. |

3rd 2 (1) |
8th Jan 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Record here is 1822215029; looked to be on the way back when beaten half a length over C&D on penultimate start but was a disappointing favourite back here five days ago; is 2lb below last winning mark and could easily bounce back; stable also runs Trooper Cooper. |

9th 6 (7) |
3rd Jan 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Has two wins and four close seconds to his name in nine runs here and bounced back to form over C&D last time, when arguably unlucky in a race not run to suit; claims are there for all to see. |

10th Oct 2021 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Free-going filly who has run creditably from the front on her last two starts, third at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; still lightly raced and may have better to come; shaped with promise on soft on her debut. |

Headstrong filly who again raced freely when this hood went on at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time; however, she was still a good third after making the running at a steady pace and, with a stronger gallop expected today, she may be able to get some cover and settle better; not discounted. |

Returned to winning form here (7f, good to soft) in July, but took a hike in the weights as a result; not beaten far in a Deauville Listed contest (6f, soft) in August, but well held in handicaps either side and appears to face a stiff task from this mark. |

Series of good efforts since back up in trip and returned to the AW for this yard, getting the better of the argument over 1m4f here and losing out only late after making most over C&D 13 days ago; a promising claimer is booked but likely to need a bit extra. |

Had some useful maiden/novice form at 1m/1m2f in 2020; had ups and downs in 2021 but hampered at Wolverhampton two starts ago (about 1m1f; first-time cheekpieces, retained) and won a shade cosily here four weeks ago (1m4f); can do better yet off just 1lb higher back at 1m2f. |

6th Jan 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Cheekpieces have helped and he built on a slightly unlucky Tapeta third when winning a small-field Lingfield affair last time, despite racing keenly over 1m4f; is only 1lb higher and tonight's drop in trip looks in his favour. |
