31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
3-3 on AW, two of the wins coming over C&D, and he showed what he could do on turf when a fine fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; last of 17 at the Ebor meeting but he was making some inroads when meeting traffic and eased inside the final furlong; one to consider. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Went 0-14 after his winning debut at two but belatedly doubled his tally when comfortably accounting for his five rivals after a break at Southwell (1m); this is tougher, but he was runner-up in last year's Silver Bowl at Haydock which was a Class 2 handicap on turf; only 3lb higher than that day. |

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. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Efforts since last summer leave plenty to be desired, including last month's Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW; first start since being gelded); however, he is 2-2 here (1m/1m1f) and 7lb lower than when last successful; worth a second look; stable also runs Sir Paul Ramsey. |

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. |

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 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

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. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
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. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 16th attempt when overcoming adversity to win a C&D handicap in February; similar form when second at Kempton last month and subsequent turf flop easy enough to forgive (yet to show anything on grass); better expected back on AW and with Billy Loughnane booked. |

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. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Justified favouritism in a Southwell novice (7f, Tapeta) in December but he's struggled in two turf handicaps (1m) this spring; still lightly raced and now returns to AW but he needs to get his career back on track. |
9/1 |
