15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the C&D Melrose Handicap (good to firm) last August, before the St Leger proved too tough; gelded soon after and creditable third in Saudi Arabia (1m7f) in February, but he needs to bounce back with a big career best after his heavy defeat in 2m Ascot Group 3 (9-1) two weeks ago. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August, before the St Leger proved too tough; gelded soon after and ran well when third in Saudi Arabia (1m7f) in February; runner-up Tabletalk conceded him 11lb that day and it's only 1lb today, but this 4yo should retain potential for 2m+. |
9/2 |

7th 7 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Five races and highly progressive, winning three; penultimate start saw him take a handicap at Sandown (1m6f, good) from Pendragon, whose next race saw him take second in yesterday's Doncaster Cup; latest start was the prestigious Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm) in which his battling qualities were again strongly in evidence and he won on the nod; a promising stayer, for sure, and that's twice he's pulled it out of the fire but the St Leger is a much more demanding task. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Tends to hang but is still unexposed and remains of interest despite failing to justify favouritism at York (1m6f) most recently; beat Tarriance at Doncaster the time before, reversing earlier Beverley placings. |
7/1 |
|
7 (2) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made his debut in mid-April; runner-up on first two starts but improved to go one better in a good scrap for Doncaster novice (good to firm) 13 days ago; all those were over 1m4f but he's a brother to C&D Group 3 winner River Of Stars; an inexperienced but promising newcomer to handicaps. |
9/4 |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up on both starts, latterly when no match for Tarriance at Beverley (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; 7lb better off with that rival here and has each-way claims. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut over 1m3f at Hamilton (first-time blinkers) in July but he's not come near that form in two runs since and switches to the AW and a new trip with plenty to prove; headgear discarded. |
9/1 |
|
3 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in Hamilton contest (1m3f) and soft ground looks a plausible excuse for his poor effort later in July; this 3yo colt remains unexposed. |
11/2 |
|

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Blinkers added for handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) 11 days ago and he improved to make all in eight-runner race at 25-1, with the first two nearly 7l clear; up 6lb on different ground but should stay and it's likely he will again be able to dictate the pace. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-6 on Flat and 0-5 as hurdler but last two outings were his best in this sphere and dropped 2lb since last month's handicap hurdle debut; player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn but last month's keeping-on fifth at Hereford (2m, soft) was quite encouraging and he's open to further improvement on this handicap debut. |
8/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Five-race maiden; has inconsistent form but could be involved if latest effort (third over 1m4f at Newbury) is backed up. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Struggled at big prices in three qualifying runs, most recently when a remote last of four at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; now goes handicapping but opening mark looks on the high side and he needs a transformation. |
33/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
May improve for this trip judged on the way he has shaped over 1m and 1m4f; however, has plenty to find and handicaps should be more suitable shortly. |
50/1 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten about 5l on two visits to Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) before a heavy defeat on soft ground at Ripon; better expected under these conditions and tries a tongue-tie. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Recorded her best RPR when sixth of ten at Wolverhampton 19 days ago but that was 1m4f and she was never a danger; others are stronger. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Has struggled at big prices in her four runs including a classified event here (9.4f) 20 days ago; now switches to a handicap and she needs a transformation back up in trip. |
