Greeleys Love(one to follow in handicaps, trained by Kevin Ryan last season, now with Mark Johnston)
13/5/13 6.50 Windsor
2nd!
Made most, edged left over 3f out, ridden and hung left over 1f out, narrowly headed inside final furlong, stayed on, held nearing finish
(Built on promise shown in maidens when making winning handicap bow for Kevin Ryan last autumn. Bit disappointing when well-held fifth on reappearance but probably worth another chance.)
21/5/13 7.50 Pontefract
Improved to make winning handicap bow for Kevin Ryan last autumn. Bounced back from poor reappearance when second at Windsor (1¼m) last week and claims if blinkers see him find a bit more.
unplaced
Slowly into stride, soon tracking leaders, took keen hold, effort over 3f out, outpaced over 2f out, kept on final furlong, took modest 3rd towards finish (tchd 11/2)

Tracked leading pair, ridden to challenge 2f out, one pace and held by winner from over 1f out (op 7-4 tchd 9-4)
17/4/13 5.15 Newmarket
Finished 2nd!
Chased leader until led just over 2f out, edged left under pressure over 1f out, headed inside final furlong and outpaced by winner final 100yds, held on for 2nd towards finish (old market tchd 7/1, new market op 08/5/13 15.50 Chester
Shown a fair level of form when hitting frame on all 5 starts, 2¼ lengths second to Improvisation over this trip at Newmarket last time. Sure to be thereabouts but vulnerable to improvers.
Won!
Tracked leaders, went 2nd over 2f out, led inside final furlong, ran on, pushed out towards finish (tchd 6/1 in a place)
Runs in the 19.00 Kempton today 4/1
2nd!
17/4/13 Held up in last trio, progress just over 2f out, driven to press winner final furlong, carried right and slightly intimidated, not quicken near finish (op 3/1)
7.00 Kempton
3rd!
Steadied start, pulled hard towards rear, stumbled 6f out, ridden and headway over 1f out, stayed on (op 6/4 tchd 13/8)
20/5/13 8.50 Leicester
Bettered maiden form when just failing on return/handicap bow at Kempton last month. Carried head high when third there on latest start, though, and isn't one for maximum faith as a result.
2nd Chased leaders, led over 8f out, ridden over 1f out, headed and unable to quicken inside final furlong (op 6/1 tchd 7/1)
29/5/13 4.40 Nottingham
Improved form when just failing on handicap bow at Kempton last month. Carried head high when behind Miss Tiger Lily there next time, but did little wrong when runner-up on turf more recently.
3rd.
Led, hung right and headed over 8f out, chased leader until led again over 3f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, stayed on same pace (tchd 9/1)
Nice Winner!
15/5/13 York 5.00
Progressed well in maidens, winning on return at Doncaster last month. Failed to meet market expectations on handicap debut at Newmarket last time, but too soon to write him off.
No where!
Mid-division, headway on outer over 2f out, chasing leaders over 1f out, weakened final 150yds (tchd 5/1)
Nice winner!
12/5/13 15.55 Leopardstown
Went from strength to strength at 2 yrs and improved again when landing the C&D Ballysax Stakes on return last month, proving 1¾ lengths too strong for Sugar Boy (winner since). Hard to oppose.
1st.Tracked leader in 2nd, led after 4f, ridden over 1f out, kept on strongly final furlong, comfortably opened 1/5
15/4/13 3.50 Windsor
PLACED!
Steadied start, held up and last early, progress from 3f out, ridden when not clear run briefly over 1f out, stayed on to take 2nd near finish, too much to do (op 9/2)
21/5/13 4.30 Newcastle
Haydock maiden winner on second 2-y-o start and he caught the eye in defeat whena keeping-on second at Windsor last month (1m). Only up 1 lb, and there's lots more to come at 1¼m.
3rd
Pulled hard, held up in touch, headway and close up after 2f, ridden and outpaced over 2f out, rallied over 1f out, kept on final furlong (op 8/13)
5.30 Newcastle Dic k Bos (15/4/13)
Took keen hold, prominent on outside, struggling over 2f out, soon beaten (tchd 11/10)
6.30 Newcastle (24/4/13)
Best effort in light 2012 campaign when winning 6f maiden at Windsor in October. Raced freely out wide when well held behind King of Eden here on return/debut for new yard. Worth another chance.
Non-Runner!
18.55 Ripon (10/5/13)
Off the mark at third attempt in a 6f maiden at Windsor in October. Raced freely out wide when well held in a handicap on recent reappearance, but may do better now back sprinting.
2nd!
Chased leaders, ridden to chase winner over 1f out, kept on but always held (op 5/1)
18/5/13 3.25 Thirsk
Off the mark at third attempt in a 6f maiden at Windsor last October. Much better effort in handicaps for new yard when chasing home Klynch at Ripon 8 days ago, and may well have more to offer.
No where!
Prominent, effort and ridden over 2f out, weakened approaching final furlong (op 7-2 tchd 4-1)
Good winner!
2nd to impressive winner
Hot Snap at 10-1
in Nell Gwnne. Last to first breeze
Runs in 2.55 Newmarket today
2nd
Held up in touch, closing on leaders and switching right over 2f out, chased leaders and driven over 1f out, chased winner well inside final furlong, gradually closing but just failed (op 9/1 tchd 10/1)
11/5/13 2.55 Lingfield
Shaped well in maidens at 2, finishing strongly to get off the mark at Kempton. Much improved when just denied in valuable sales race at Newmarket on return and one to beat. Will stay.
Non runner, taken out because of the soft going!
16/5/13 2.45 York
Shaped well in maidens at 2, finishing strongly to get off the mark at Kempton. Much improved when just denied by Windhoek in valuable sales race at Newmarket on return fancied to gain revenge.
No where!
In my humble opion, the jockey rode a bad race!
Slowly into stride and niggled along in rear, headway 3f out, effort on wide outside 2f out, soon ridden and beaten (op 4/1)
Runs in 2.55 Newmarket today (18/4/13)
4th

09/5/13 Runs in 2.45 Chester
Plenty of promise in 2 Sandown maidens last year, beating a pair of subsequent winners in September. Good fourth in sales race at Newmarket on return and more to come at this trip.
3rd.
Raced keenly, chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, one pace final furlong, never able to challenge (op 3/1 tchd 5/2)
Runs in 5.45 Newmarket today
2nd!
Raced in midfield, ridden 3f out, went 3rd over 2f out, closed on winner but hemmed in just over 1f out, switched right and chased winner inside final furlong, no impression under pressure final 100yds (op Evens tchd 13/8)
18/5/13 3.15 Newbury
From a good family, and much improved when winning 12-runner maiden at Leicester on latter start at 2 yrs. Good second in handicap at Newmarket on return and looks a nice prospect.
2nd!
Led, joined from 3f out, driven over 2f out, headed approaching final furlong, kept on but always held inside final furlong (tchd Evens in places)
Runs in 5.45 Nemarket today

Ponied to start, chased winner, effort under pressure entering final 2f, driven and outpaced 1f out, stayed on same pace after, lost 2nd close home (op 7/2)
18/5/13 3.30 Newmarket
Improved on facile maiden win when landing Acomb Stakes at York, and good second to Toronado in Champagne Stakes. Similar form when third in Craven on return and this a drop in grade.
Winner!
Held up, headway over 2f out, ridden to chase leader over 1f out, ran on under pressure to lead well inside final furlong (op 5-2)
