10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Comes back fresh after ten-week break and may tap back into earlier progress that featured a C&D Listed success and good second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas; warrants respect. |

4th 1 (1) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Followed 7f Newmarket Listed win (good) in May with a second to Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); travelled notably strongly for a long way back at 7f for the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville last month but folded tamely, possibly due to the soft ground; the one to beat on his best form but could possibly have done without Thursday's rain. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
One of three for Juddmonte; three wins from three, having recorded impressive wins in 7f novice events at Sandown (good) and Kempton (AW); looked a potentially high-class performer when overcoming quirkiness to win 7f Listed at Newmarket (good) on latest; both the third and sixth have won Listed-class races since; contender. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No match for the subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year over C&D on debut in April but it was still an encouraging start to his career; absent since but still more appealing than many. |

9st 7lb |
Displayed promise in the spring on his first three starts (7f/8.6f, AW); returns from a break having been gelded and if he's anywhere near his best he'll be tough to beat for his top yard. |

27th May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Promising fourth of 13 behind the smart Cosmic Year on Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) and beaten just a short head in a first-time tongue-tie (now removed) in a five-runner Newcastle maiden (7f, Tapeta; third has won since) next time; high on list. |

9st 7lb |
Runner-up on his debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) but he failed to build on that on his next four starts for Ralph Beckett; well beaten when last seen 460 days ago and now makes his stable debut with the headgear discarded; best watched. |
50/1 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; unable to reproduce that form since, most recently on handicap debut at Doncaster, but gelded since and that may help him tap back into his initial promise; represents top yard; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; not discounted. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained a first success for current yard at Ayr (7f) in May and has proved reliable since, runner-up in 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7f) two weeks ago; he can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
12/1 |

2nd 11 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Never really looked dangerous in recent big-field York race won by Jonny Concrete but was in good form beforehand, most notably when winning at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May; each-way claims at least if back on song. |

Won at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and has continued in good form, beaten a short head when second of five at Hamilton (6f, good) a fortnight ago; back up in grade today but could give another good account. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins since returned to AW in September and she's finished runner-up in her last four starts; didn't get much luck when a close second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago and she's a key player off only 1lb higher here. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Nosed ahead close home at Chelmsford (1m5f) five days ago, taking record since racing in AW handicaps to 12331; incurs a penalty but Joe Bradnam takes off 7lb; gives impression she'll stay this new trip; solid. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten-favourite in five of his last six starts, latterly behind Thanks Dad at Yarmouth, and has tended to pull hard/not see it out in a few starts at beyond sprint trips; capable off this mark but is still a maiden and comes with risks attached. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still to score but he's a reliable type and comes here after a good second of eight in 5.5f classified event at Brighton in June; recent cheekpieces are left off here (just hooded) and he can go well after a break. |
9/4 |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Sole success came in a handicap over C&D in March, but last three efforts not amongst his best; dropping to this grade for the first time one reason for optimism. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Usually seen over further; won a 7f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in March and turned in another fair effort here in May; heavy defeats on turf twice since but returning to this surface is in his favour. |

9th 11 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent, hard-pulling front-runner who's been beaten a long way in five runs on turf, latterly when tailed off at Lingfield last month; other pace in here and he's some way down the pecking order. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
