Runs in the 4.40 Gowran Park (tomorrow)
Off the mark in 1m maiden at the Curragh in August and not disgraced in group races since, finishing 5 lengths third to Rehn's Nest on return over that C&D last month. Needs to up her game here.
Quite disssappointing?
Runs in 7.10 Windsor (tomorrow)
Has a smart pedigree and justified short odds on debut at Lingfield (1m) in November. Horse he beat that day has won both starts since and this opening mark could turn out to be very lenient.
Result! 2nd
Took keen hold tracking leaders, went 3rd 3f out, went 2nd over 1f out, ridden to press winner and every chance inside final furlong, found no extra in closing stages
11/5/13 2.25 Haydock
Has a smart pedigree and justified short odds to beat Rockalong on debut at Lingfield (1m) in November. Still green when narrowly beaten at Windsor last month, and sure to improve again.
1st!
Made all, ridden over 1f out, stayed on well throughout final furlong (op 4/5)
Runs in 8.10 Windsor (tomorrow 29/4/13)
Dalakhani colt who showed progressive form in maidens at 2, 1¾ lengths second to Ningara over 1m at Kempton in December. Very much type to do better still in handicaps over further this term.
unplaced!
Held up in close touch, ridden over 3f out, stayed pressing leaders but hanging and not quicken over 1f out, one pace after (op 5/2)
22/5/13 8.00 Kempton
Dalakhani colt who showed progressive form in maidens at 2, and shaped well upped in trip when fifth in Windsor handicap on return. Open to further improvement.
Unplaced
Chased leaders, pushed along over 2f out, still well there when hampered and switched left over 1f out, kept edging left and stayed on again closing stages
30 4/13 4.20 Bath
Unplaced!
Chased leaders, driven to dispute 3rd from 2f out, never going pace to challenge, one pace final furlong (op 9/2)
20/5/13 6.20 Leicester
Improved on debut when fourth in a C&D maiden in October, and found her stamina stretched when creditable fourth of 14 on handicap debut at Bath (1m) last time. Drop back to 7f will suit.
unplaced
Chased leaders, ridden and every chance over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong (op 14/1)
Lightly raced gelding who couldn't have won any easier in weak Hamilton maiden on belated return in September. Not disgraced in handicap at Goodwood following month and drop back in trip should suit.
2nd.
Took keen hold, held up well in touch, ridden and effort to chase winner well over 1f out, every chance 1f out, kept on but always just held (op 4/1)
Unbeaten first 4 starts (all at around 5f), landing odds in listed event at Sandown. Not seen to best effect in Nunthorpe final start and likely to be a big player in the top sorints this year.
Prolific family renowned for flourishing with time and distance, and left maiden form behind when landing Windsor handicap a year ago. Good second at Salisbury next time and better expected this year.
17/5/13 4.25 York
Winner!
Tracked leaders, pushed along over 2f out, led over 1f out, driven clear, readily (op 2/1)
Won above average maiden at Warwick on debut and looked a useful prospect when comfortably landing the odds in nursery at Kempton. Drop in trip unlikely to pose a problen and high on shortlist.
Wjnner
Held up well in touch, ridden and effort 2f out, chased leader 1f out, stayed on well to lead well inside final furlong, soon in command (op 5/1 tchd 6/1 in a place
18/5/13 2.55 Newmarket
Unbeaten in 3 starts to date, and found further improvement to land a 13-runner handicap over C&D 2 weeks ago from Brazen. Raised 7 lb for that, but type to go on progressing for a while yet.
No where!
Chased leaders, ridden over 1f out, stayed on same pace inside final furlong (op 7-2)
Runs in 15.50 Chester (08/5/13)
Dansili colt out of top-class Russian Rhythm. Shaped very well when 2½ lengths third of 13 to Flying Officer on 1m Sandown debut last September, nearest finish under hands and heels. Sure to improve.
No where!
Held up, ridden over 1f out, not clear run inside final furlong, no impression (tchd 7/4 and 2/1)
18/5/13 1.30 Newbury
Dansili colt out of top-class Russian Rhythm. Shaped very well when 2½ lengths third in Sandown maiden on debut last September. Better than bare result on return at Chester and likely to go well.
3rd! In touch, headway over 3f out, driven to chase leaders over 2f out, outpaced by leading duo over 1f out (op 9-4 tchd 10-3)
17/5/13 2.00 Newbury
Pivotal filly out of a winning half-sister to Oaks/Irish Oaks winner Sariska. Improved from debut to win 1m maiden at Doncaster in October, and has plenty of scope for further progress this term.
3rd! Held up in last place, headway 3f out, driven over 2f out, kept on to close on 2nd final 110yds but no chance with winner (op 5/2, tchd 11/4 in places)
31/5/13 4.00 Epsom
Out of a half-sister to Sariska. Improved from debut to win maiden at Doncaster, and shaped well when third in listed race at Newbury on return. Will stay but probably flying too high too soon.
3rd
Held up in touch in last quartet, headway on inner over 2f out, chasing leaders when switched right 2f out, went back left and headway to chase leader briefly over 1f out, switching right and kept on same pace under pressure final furlong
Fairly useful handicap hurdler, last seen when sixth in a competitive handicap at Leopardstown in January, who has shaped better than the bare result on all starts in this sphere. Interesting.
Runs in 17.50 Clonmel 09/5/13
4th
Raced in mid-division, progress in 7th approaching final furlong, stayed on strongly in closing stages to close in 4th
Improved markedly last year, completing a hat-trick of handicap wins at The Curragh in September. Further progress when second in listed race over C&D on return and better than he showed latest.
Runs in 17.35 Cork (10/5/13)
Won! Tracked leader in 2nd, relegated to 3rd before halfway, headway to challenge between horses 2f out, soon ridden and led over 1f out, ran on strongly inside final furlong
Some strong form to his name last year, runner-up to Van Der Neer over 6f at Yarmouth prior to getting off the mark over same C&D on final start. Strong traveller and 6f may suit better.
10/5/13 19.40 Ascot
Unplaced
Led, ridden over 2f out, kept slight advantage until headed 1f out, weakened final 110yds
11/5/13 8.05 Warwick
Brother to 7f listed winner Majestic Myles, and off mark at second attempt in maidens at Ayr (good time). Excuses for 2 nursery defeats, and he's open to lots of improvement this year (gelded).3rd
Held up in touch, ridden to go 3rd and hung right inside final furlong, ran on
28/5/13 3.00Leicester
Best effort at 2 yrs when winning 6f maiden at Ayr in July. Encouraging return when 1½ lengths third of 10 to Capo Rosso at Warwick (7f), and possible he'll do better with blinkers now tried.
2nd
Went left start, pulled hard and soon prominent, ridden over 1f out, chased winner and hung right inside final furlong, stayed on (op 6/1)
11/5/13 2.20 Lingfield
Galileo filly out of a half-sister to Arc winner Sagamix. Confirmed debut promise when easily landing odds in Newbury maiden in October. Has loads of potential, especially now up in trip.1st
Always travelling well, in touch in midfield, chased leader over 2f out, led on bit 2f out, shaken up and readily quickened clear over 1f out, not extended, impressive (op 4/5 tchd 5/4)
31/5/13 4.00 Epsom
Well-bred filly who confirmed debut promise when easily landing odds in Newbury maiden, and most impressive when winning Lingfield Oaks Trial on return. Remains with plenty of potential.
11/5/13 5.45 Thirsk
Signs of ability in 7f/1m maidens last autumn and type to do better in handicaps this year. Draw not ideal but yard could hardly be in better form and still expected to go well.
1st
Led 1f, tracked leaders, led well over 1f out, hard ridden inside final furlong, held on towards finish (op 9/4)
18/5/13 5.45 Thirsk War Lord
Signs of ability in 7f/1m maidens last autumn and justified strong market support in C&D handicap on last week's return to action, always just holding Krupskaya. Definitely more to come.
No where! In touch on inside, ridden over 2f out, outpaced over 1f out (op 5-2 tchd 3-1tchd 10-3 in a place)
11/5/13 3.50 Ascot
Overcame greenness to make a winning start over 7f in May. Better form in handicaps since and surprising if there weren't more to come in 2013. Will need to be cherry ripe here though.
Unplaced!
Towards rear most of way
21/5/13 5.30 Newcastle
Overcame greenness to make a winning start over 7f in May. Better form in handicaps since and surprising if there weren't more to come in 2013, but he shaped as if amiss on reappearance.
unplaced
Prominent, effort and ridden over 2f out, no extra approaching final furlong (tchd 3/1)
13/5/13 8.20 Windsor
Steady progress in 2-y-o maidens and likely to do better this year up in trip and now going into handicaps. Yard among the winners in recent days.
Winner!
Slowly into stride, soon chasing leaders, went 2nd 3f out, led 2f out, soon ridden and edged left, in command final furlong, stayed on well
20/5/13 8.50 Leicester
Steady progress in 2-y-o maidens, and no surprise to see him step up markedly to score on return/handicap debut at Windsor (11.6f) a week ago. Plenty more to come, and leading claims again.
Winner
Always prominent, ridden to chase leader over 1f out, led inside final furlong, ran on well, readily (op 8/11)
15/5/13 8.50 Naas
Modest form in maidens at 2 yrs and again not knocked about when sixth in maiden at the Curragh on return in March. Bit better when fourth on recent handicap bow on first crack at 1m.
Winner!
Waited with towards rear, not clear run when progress under 3f out, switched right to stands' side, stayed on strongly into 4th entering final furlong, led on line
16/5/13 7.00 Newmarket
Improved for being stepped upto 1½m last season, as well as the introduction of the tongue tie. Has won following an absence before, therefore market check advised on debut for new yard.
No where!
Held up in touch towards rear, ridden and effort 2f out, keeping on but no threat to winner when pushed left entering final furlong, no impression after (op 13/2 tchd 11/2)
17/5/13 4.05 Newmarket
Out of 1000 Guineas winner Cape Verdi and showed progressive form in maidens last year, winning at Windsor. Proved a let down on handicap bow in July but well worth another chance.
3rd
Chased leader until ridden to lead over 2f out, driven and headed over 1f out, kept on same pace inside final furlong, lost 2nd close home (op 9/2)
18/5/13 2.20 Newmarket
Takes the eye on looks and progressing along the right lines, runner-up in the Melrose at York before gaining third career win in Ascot listed event over this trip in October. More to come.
Unplaced.
Held up, headway over 3f out, ridden over 1f out, stayed on (op 11-2)
2.55 Newmarket
Looked promising when winning a 6f maiden at York in July, and bounced back when third in a heavy-grpound nursery there in October, despite finding the test too much. Gelded since, and will do better.
No where!
Held up, switched right 2f out, ridden over 1f out, not clear run inside final furlong, ran on towards finish, never nearer (op 10-1)
20/5/13 5.40 Redcar
Brother to useful 1½m winner Albert Bridge. Best effort in 7f maidens at Kempton at 2 yrs when fourth of 9 on second start. Will be suited by 1¼m this year, and sure to make an impact in handicaps.
Winner
Chased leaders, close 2nd over 5f out, driven to lead over 2f out, kept on, all out (op 9/4 tchd 15/8)
30/5/13 5.10 Hamilton
Brother to useful 1½m/13f winner Albert Bridge. Unplaced in trio of 7f maidens at 2 yrs, but showed improved form to land 1¼m Redcar handicap recently, and likely to defy 6 lb penalty here.
Winner.
Tracked leaders, effort when not much room over 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, stayed on well final furlong (op 8/15 tchd 8/13)
Improved for debut when fourth in 7f Leicester maiden in October, and found her stamina stretched when filling same spot on handicap debut here (1m) in April, but below form at former venue since.
Unplaced.
Chased leaders, driven to dispute 2nd well over 1f out, easily outpaced final furlong (op 13/2 tchd 7/1)
Done little wrong since debut, improving again when winning Derrinstown Trial at Leopardstown, beating Criterium winner Loch Garman. Step up in trip will suit in first-time cheekpieces.
Unplaced.
Chased leaders until led over 9f out, headed 6f out, 2nd straight, ridden to lead again 3f out, headed over 1f out, kept on same pace under pressure final furlong, lost 2 places last strides (op 13/2)
Improved to make winning handicap bow for Kevin Ryan last autumn. Bounced back from poor reappearance when second at Windsor (1¼m) but disappointed in blinkers next time. Visor now tried.
2nd.
Dwelt, took keen hold, headway into midfield after 2f out, headway under pressure and edging left just over 2f out, chased leading pair over 1f out, kept on to go 2nd last strides (op 10/1
Took 6 attempts to get off the mark but still seems to be going the right way nevertheless. However, opening mark looks a bit harsh.
Unplaced. Held up in last pair, headway into midfield but still plenty to do 2f out, never going to reach leaders and not given too hard a time after, kept on inside final furlong (op 5/1 tchd 4/1)
Looks all stamina, closely related to high-class stayer Saddler's Rock. Not beaten far in 1¼m Sandown Classic Trial on return and will relish longer trip, but possibly more of a Leger type.
3rd.
Took keen hold, chased leaders, 3rd straight, driven and chased leader 3f out until 2f out, kept on well but one pace inside final furlong
03/6/13 3.05 Naas
Second in last year's 2000 Guineas and should have come on for Curragh return for new yard. Interesting dropped in grade for Johnny Murtagh with headgear fitted.
Unplaced.
In rear of mid-division, ridden from 3f out and soon no impression under pressure, eased towards finish
