04/6/13 5.55 Yarmouth
Sister to connections' smart 6f winner Bounty Box. Signs of ability in maidens first 2 starts, and left too much to do when second at Lingfield (5f) when last seen. Sure to progress.
2nd.
Pulled hard, chased leading pair, ridden and effort well over 1f out, stayed on same pace final furlong, snatched 2nd on post (op 11/4 tchd 5/2)
05/6/13 8/15 Ripon
Winner
07/6/13 5.35 Lingfield
Unplaced in maidens at 2 yrs, but showed improved form to land 1¼m Redcar handicap on return, and defied a penalty with more in hand that bare margin at Hamilton. Will go on improving.
Winner.
Tracked leader, led 3f out, shaken up 2f out, pressed and driven over 1f out, drifted left but stayed on well (op 11/10)
07/6/13 9.20 Haydock
Steady progress in 2-y-o maidens and has stepped up markedly in handicaps this year, winning at Windsor and Leicester with plenty in hand. More to come.
Non Runner
18/4/13 5.45 Newmarket
unplaced.
07/6/13 9.20 Haydock
Looked good prospect when winning 7f York maiden on heavy last October. Faded in warm 1¼m Newmarket handicap on return and worth sticking with.
Unplaced.
Raced keenly, chased leader, challenging over 2f out, not quicken over 1f out, no extra well inside final furlong (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
08/6/13 Beverley 3.45
Unplaced
Soon tracking winner, effort 3f out, ridden along over 2f out, driven over 1f out and soon one pace (op 9/4)
Won on debut at Ayr (7f) last August. Good placed efforts in handicaps first 2 starts this year and acquitted herself well when fifth in Newbury listed race last time.
08/6/13 Chester 3.20
Made winning handicap bow for Kevin Ryan last term, and best effort for new yard when runner-up at Epsom (1¼m) in first-time visor last weekend, though showed signs of temperament (hung badly left).
Unplaced
08/6/13 Newmarket 2.20
Out of 1000 Guineas winner Cape Verdi and showed progressive form in maidens last year, and shaped well when third to Ehtedaam on belated return. More to come.
2nd
08/6/13 Haydock Huntsmans Close
Some strong form to his name last year, winning 6f maiden at Yarmouth. May have needed return at Ascot, though that wouldn't be the first time he's finished weakly. Remains with potential.
Unplaced
Led, headed over 1f out, soon weakened, eased towards finish (op 4/1)
08/6/13 Haydock Robot Boy
Progressed well in maidens, winning on return at Doncaster (5f). Not so good this year, though 7f at York last time did seem to stretch him.
2nd
09/6/13 Curragh 3.50
Second in 2000 Guineas here last year, but hasn't built on that since, and tried in blinkers/tongue tie last time to no avail. Headgear dispensed with up in trip, but questions to answer now.
unplaced.
Always in rear, no threat under 3f out
09/6/13 Curragh 3.50
Half-brother to smart 1¼m/1½m winner Zanughan, and built on promise of 1m debut here in September when winning maiden at Leopardstown following month. Looks a smart performer in the making.
unplaced
Waited with, 6th 3f out and soon pushed along, no impression under 2f out, not hard-ridden inside final furlong
12/6/13 8.10 Kempton
Shaped well on first 2 starts, and improved when making all to win 1¼m maiden at Windsor last month from Legal Waves. Has plenty of scope, and should continue on an upward curve.
3rd.
Tracked leading pair 5f, lost place slightly, plenty to do once winner kicked on over 2f out, stayed on to take 3rd over 1f out, never able to threaten (op 15/8 tchd 2/1 in a place)
12/6/13 4.20 Haydock
Improved for being stepped up to 1½m last season and shown enough in 2 runs this term to suggest he can defy current mark.
unplaced.
Took keen hold in mid-division, driven 3f out, weakened just inside final furlong (tchd 9/1)
13/6/13 Yarmouth 4.20
Unplaced in maidens at 2 yrs but much improved to complete hat-trick of handicaps this term. Still looks ahead of his mark and will stay this far, so the one to beat.
Winner.
Chased leaders, led over 1f out, soon ridden, edged left inside final furlong, stayed on (op 4/6 tchd 8/11)
13/6/13 Nottingham 4.10
Not been with excellent new yard long and improved effort when making all at Ripon last week. Had run of race there but lightly raced and could easily still have more to come.
2nd.
Led, ridden when headed entering final furlong, kept on but always held (tchd 5/2 and 3/1 tchd 10/3 in a place)
13/6/13 Haydock 7.50
Won 6f maiden at Ayr at 2 yrs and good efforts in defeat in 7f handicaps this term, pulling hard and hanging right in blinkers at Leicester. May yet do better if settling down.
3rd.
Slowly inot stride, took keenl hold, held up, headway over 2f out, progress to take 3rd final 100yds, stayed on towards finish, never able to challenge front pair (op 7/2)
13/6/13 Newbury 5.05
Showed progressive form in maidens at 2 yrs, and arguably not seen to best effect in pair of handicaps upto 1½m so far this term. May be more at home on this galloping track.
unplaced
In rear, driven and some headway from 3f out, in touch over 2f out, soon weakened (op 5/1)
14/6/13 York 2.30
Sole career success came in Thirsk nursery for Kevin Ryan last term (7f). Better upped in trip for new yard this year, notably at Epsom 2 starts ago (1¼m), and holds place claims.
unplaced
Took keen hold, led, headed 3f out, soon weakened, behind and eased over 1f out, tailed off (op 7/2 tchd 11/4)
14/6/13 Musselburgh 2.20
Signs of ability in 7f/1m maidens last autumn and justified strong market support on return/handicap bow at Thirsk. Possible he found run coming too soon next time, and should bounce back.
3rd
Led, pushed along and joined 3f out, soon headed and ridden, driven well over 1f out, soon one pace (op 7/2 tchd 3/1)
15/6/13 York 3.50
Both his wins have come on AW, but hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green in a couple of big-field handicaps on turf and still has a big day in him. One to consider.
unplaced
Towards rear, pushed along and headway over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong opened 8/1 £4250-£500 £10000-£1200
15/6/13 Sandown 4.05
Looked promising when winning his maiden last year, and caught the eye when fifth in Newmarket handicap on return, running on well from the rear. Remains with potential back over 7f.
3rd
Held up, headway entering final 2f, ridden to challenge leader just inside final furlong, not quicken near finish
15/6/13 Sandown 2.20
Lightly-raced gelding who couldn't have won any easier in weak Hamilton maiden on belated return in September. Shaped well when second in Newmarket handicap on comeback and remains with potential.
2nd
Raced wide held up, ridden 3f out, headway over 1f out, chased winner inside final furlong, no impression near finish opened 5/1
15/6/13 Leicester 7.05
No easy ride, but consistent in 3-y-o handicaps, keeping on despite hanging badly right at Nottingham last time. Drop in grade will help, and should be on the premises again.
Winner
Unruly in preliminaries, missed break, raced keenly, raced off the pace, headway 6f out, led well over 2f out, edged right enering final 2f, drew clear over 1f out, stayed on well (op 4/5)
16/6/13 Cork 3.45
Winner Waited with in rear, last halfway, travelled well to close approaching final furlong in 3rd, soon pressed leader, led final 100yds, soon in command
18/6/13 Ascot 3.45
Improved on facile maiden win when landing Acomb Stakes at York, and good second to Toronado in Champagne Stakes. Better for return when winning listed race at Newmarket but probably not up to this.
unplaced
18/6/13 Ascot 3.45
Imposing sort who was unbeaten at 2, and most impressive winner of Craven on return. Failed to meet expectations in 2000 Guineas but well worth another chance.
2nd
Steadied start, held up in rear, headway on outer when hampered and pushed left 2f out, rallied over 1f out, edging right but quickened to challenge entering final furlong, sustained duel with winner final furlong, ran on strongly, just held (tchd 9/2)
18/6/13 Ascot 3.05
unplaced
With leaders, ridden and not quicken over 1f out, stayed on same pace final 110yds (op 33/1)
Developed into a smart handicapper last year and an easy winner at Newbury on return. Didn't settle at Beverley last time and not as exposed as some, but needs to pull out plenty more to figure.
18/6/13 Ascot 3.05
Unbeaten first 4 starts (all at around 5f). Not seen to best effect in Nunthorpe in August and set to be a big player in the top sprints this year if all remains well.
3rd.
Steadied start and soon switched left, held up, headway well over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, going on at finish, not quite get to leaders (tchd 11/1)
20/6/13 Ascot 3.05
Out of a half-sister to dual Oaks-winner Sariska. Improved from debut to win maiden at Doncaster, and much better for return when excellent third in Oaks. Sets the standard on that form.
Non runner!
