7th 3 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on slow ground; won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good) and he returned from a break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); things haven't gone to plan on his two starts since but a line can be put through Goodwood as he got no run; interesting contender. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good); returned from break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); flopped at Sandown four weeks ago but very much of interest on his earlier form. |
8/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |

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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Both his wins have come on the AW but he wasn't disgraced when eighth of 17 on turf at York (7f, good; 22-1) four weeks ago; stepping back up to 1m should be a help; each-way possibilities. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
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. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and his losing sequence is up to 11 races; however, he was a close third off this reduced mark at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and is an each-way contender if backing up that performance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
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. |
12/1 |
|
8th 13 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
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. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
8st 11lb |
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. |
9/1 |
|
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. |
11/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
2nd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins have been on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) and latest was off 1lb lower in April; mixed results in last four runs, but he was good third at Wolverhampton (1m4f) two weeks ago and has claims if he can back that up. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have been on AW at Lingfield over 1m2f; appeared to get the trip when fourth of seven over C&D last month but looks high in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins have came on AW over 1m2f at Lingfield this year, latest in April; inconsistent last four starts, respectable fourth here (9.4f) latest; second once in March over 1m3f and this is his first crack at 1m4f. |

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 |
|
5 (2) |
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. |
