3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
In great form since wearing cheekpieces, completing a handicap double at Meydan then running well in better races, latest at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; Listed) back on home soil; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Had a very productive spell at Meydan earlier in the year, winning two handicaps before progressing again when second to Quddwah in Group 2 Singspiel and fifth to Ombudsman in Group 1 Dubai Turf (both 1m1f, good); those efforts suggest he can make his presence felt in Listed races back in Britain but this is a particularly strong one. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Both his wins have come on AW but he handles turf, albeit best grass runs have come on good going; two disappointing efforts since his Southwell win in April and others are more convincing. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained both wins on AW, including on reappearance; has bits of fairly useful form on turf but produced one of his lesser efforts last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Can lead; 2-2 on this course in 2025, over 1m (good to soft) and 1m1f (good) but he hasn't been at full strength this year, including when back over C&D in April; this is a drop in grade from Newmarket in May but a complete revival is up in the air; yard runs two. |

Won at Musselburgh last April and June; failed to make a serious impact since, albeit fourth of 12 back at Musselburgh three weeks ago; non-runner at Redcar on Thursday. |

Won two C&D nurseries last winter and posted several solid runs in defeat on turf this term including at Cork last time; one to consider back on this surface. |

4th 12 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
8st 10lb |
3yo won two on the AW last season; 0-9 on turf, though he did go close in a 6.5f Limerick rated race in July; no show in two handicaps since that run and was slowly away last time at the Curragh; others appeal more. |
22/1 |

7th 8 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 7lb |
3yo is a two-time AW winner at 1m; 0-8 on turf but has run well in defeat including a 0.5l second in a 6.5f rated race at Limerick (good) last month; soft ground not ideal at Galway latest; 4lb wrong but should be staying on at the finish. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Both turf starts on good; left his useful 1m form behind when landing the Italian Derby over 1m3f at Capannelle in June; that was a smart effort but he'll need an even bigger performance to defy a mark of 105 on his first outing since. |

Campaigned exclusively on AW; completed a winter hat-trick but last two efforts have seemingly exposed his limitations; enough to prove in this grade on turf debut. |

9st 11lb |
Both wins have came on AW over 1m2f at Lingfield this year; beaten 20l at Kempton (1m) in May and it may be best to wait until he returns to his favoured track. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins (one for this jockey) and a second since asked to go beyond an extended 1m; has form at shorter but wide draw could put him on the back foot early; one of three runners for John Butler. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a seller over C&D last October; only beaten 2l when sixth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago on his first run back and should be suited by the step up in trip; can go well. |
11/2 |

6th 6 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went close first time out as a 2yo for Andrew Balding and landed the odds in a C&D maiden on his comeback last March, so has that in his favour; closed out last season with a win in a seller but will need to improve on his five handicap efforts. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in ten runs came when 1-7f for a 1m AW maiden in March for Andrew Balding, whom he left for 28,000gns; stable debut in August was okay but well beaten on soft ground last month; would seem more likely to give his running than some but he is not straightforward. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Found a jolt of improvement last summer, winning handicaps at Kempton (7f) and Southwell (1m) before a good third here (1m) in his hat-trick bid 310 days ago; absent since but he should have more to offer after just eight starts; betting instructive. |
7/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when coming from off the pace to collect at Southwell (1m); was aided by a collapsing pace but he looks progressive; just 3lb higher. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Took his AW record (all over 7f) to 311 with Kempton win last time and that form has worked out well; likely to be as effective back at 1m and show further progress in this sphere; major contender. |
