26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and at the other Newmarket course (1m, good) in June, and he was a close third at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; however, it's been an inconsistent campaign and he was soundly beaten back at Ascot (1m, good) last time; others are more solid. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but made it three wins in 2026 when scoring at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in July and he was a close third to Hickory over this C&D (good to firm) next time; could be in the shake-up. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins on the two Newmarket courses this season (1m, good to firm/good), the latest coming last month when held up; only fifth to Asmen Warrior at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago but saw plenty of daylight in a prominent position and may not have been seen to best effect; this lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins and three seconds from his only five races; justified favouritism in a 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and launched a strong challenge for valuable handicap at Ascot (1m4f, soft) four weeks ago, drawing nearly 6l clear of the third; 1m6f now looks worth a go and he's one of the leading contenders on form. |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden winner who came up shy under penalties but confirmed himself progressive when justifying favouritism in a 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft); hit with a 7lb rise but that form has been franked and this colt might well have appreciably more to offer; the one to beat. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Has run in three novice events, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) on debut in January; bang there at Newmarket and fourth to Masai Moon at Nottingham (again 1m2f on good) was creditable; granddam was Oaks winner and he also shapes as if improvement is likely at 1m4f; handicap debut. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
All turf starts on good/good to firm; cheekpieces and moving up to 1m6f worked a treat initially with wins at Goodwood and Newmarket, but he looked hard work when a fair fifth at the big Goodwood meeting and blinkers over 2m didn't work at York last time; kinks remain and he now tries a visor. |
100/30 |

7th 5 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Stepping up to 1m6f with cheekpieces enlisted resulted in wins at Goodwood (good) and Newmarket (good to firm); that's not ironed out all the kinks, though, as he looked hard work at Glorious Goodwood 18 days ago on his way to a fair fifth of 13, with Small Fry in second; probably needs to resume improvement on this first go at 2m but he's one to be reckoned with if first-time blinkers receive the same response that first-time cheekpieces did. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Came up well short at Glorious Goodwood last time but this looks an easier assignment; ties in with Synergism on Northumberland Plate form and scored over C&D (off just 1lb lower) in May; possibilities. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won five-runner race here (upped to 2m, good) in May and made most when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); no room over 1f out at Newbury two weeks ago but the speed with which he dropped out when jockey gave up was still rather disconcerting; place chance if bouncing back. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't progressed from his debut run and beat one home on handicap debut at Windsor (1m3f) when tried in a hood; others are more intriguing. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Shaped with promise on his Wolverhampton debut (8.6f) in March but he's struggled after pulling hard in his last two starts (1m2f); still early days and hood is now added on handicap debut but he needs to settle much better to make an impact. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Top-class pedigree and came good on his fifth start when blinkered at Windsor (1m, soft), where he was nicely on top at the finish; up 6lb but could have turned a corner. |
11/4 |

1st 3 (3) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Top-class pedigree but he ran to a modest level in three novice/maiden runs and he fared no better on his handicap debut at Newmarket last month (1m2f, good to firm); too soon to write him off and dropping in trip/class in new blinkers could see him fare better. |
11/2 |

7th 10 (9) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120), so going handicapping off a mark of 66 has to catch the eye; latest was easily his closest finish, when about 7l sixth of nine in Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm; 50-1) in April, and he's been gelded since; needs better but market confidence would be interesting. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Developed into fairly useful 1m2f Flat handicapper this season; raced far too freely when second on both hurdling starts, more recently when 2-11 favourite at Stratford (2m, good) last month, where he built up a big lead before capitulating in the home staight; has plenty of ability but comes with risk attached; tongue-tie refitted. |

Trailed home last of nine in Newmarket contest (1m2f) three months ago on debut; attracted some support and is evidently thought capable of better. |
