31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Improving colt who has strong handicap form this term and is 2-2 since upped to 1m4f, last time winning at Royal Ascot (good to firm) where he beat the subsequent Irish Derby runner-up; very much a Group performer in the making and commands major respect upped further in class. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Favourite for his two handicaps this season, both on good to firm and the win was never in doubt through the last 3f at York last time on his step up to 1m4f; 8lb rise demands more from him but he was impressive at York and the form has been boosted; Group 1 King George entry here next month. |

Edged it in the second of two very close finishes over about 1m on AW in December; failed to justify 11-10 favouritism in seven-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance 11 days ago but kept edging closer to go down by a length and 1m4f now seems plausible. |

Half-brother to seven winners, including Too Darn Hot (Group 1; RPR 125) and So Mi Dar (Group 3; 118); 4-1 on debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta) last December, when collared close home; can clearly go well when fresh and, with any improvement, he could prove tough to beat. |

Sole win in eight runs was a Chester maiden; best efforts, however, when third in both the 1m6f Melrose at York (good to firm; led over 2f out) and another valuable handicap over C&D (good; finishing strongly) in October; gelded soon afterwards; interesting prospect as 4yo. |
