2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has been described as a challenge by connections but he's a talented one and the drop to 5f suited when beating a smart rival (later runner-up at the Breeders' Cup) in a Group 3 over C&D (good; won a novice on good to firm) in October; nothing special on his recent return here but he was eased when his winning chance had gone and the return to 5f can suit; much respected. |

8th 13 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to prevailing narrowly in the Cornwallis (5f, good; Group 3) on final 2yo start, taking record on the Newmarket tracks to 3-3; effective over 6f and looks open to further improvement; carries 3lb penalty; respected kept to this venue in first attempt against his elders. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Gelded since flopping in AW Group 3 last time; recorded novice wins on the July course (6f) in last two turf attempts, leaving the impression he'll cope with this drop in trip; may do better still. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear on last two outings when close third to Arc Ole Ole at Doncaster (good to soft) and second of eight at Nottingham (good); shapes as if he'll get 1m4f, despite speedy family. |
16/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-5 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; low-key stable debut in February but he took a good step forward fitted with a hood and upped to 1m2f when third at Doncaster ten days ago; travelled strongly there and he remains open to further progress; good chance. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 (8) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden; perhaps needed the run at Kempton (1m) on stable/seasonal debut; however, chance of winning depends on the effects of the new trip and first-time hood. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a gamble in a 7f handicap at Lingfield in January (in this headgear combination for the first time) but followed that with two lesser efforts; back on track when fourth at Kempton two weeks ago (finished behind Grand Echo and Electrocution); each-way shout. |

Brings the worst form, having achieved very little in both runs. |

10th 5 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
28-1 and offered little short-term promise when last of six (beaten 23l) on his Newmarket debut ten weeks ago (6f, good to firm); up in trip with cheekpieces added. |
33/1 |
|
4 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£75,000 yearling; brother to 5f/5.7f winner Swift Asset (including 2yo/Bahrain; RPR 101); unraced dam out of 5f Listed winning sister to useful 1m winner The Illies; tongue tied on debut; market helpful. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (6f, Polytrack) on his third start but was unable to get involved on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) since; drops 1lb but on that evidence is not on an obviously lenient mark. |
4/1 |
|
3 (8) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signs of ability first two starts but appeared to take a step forward for being gelded, clinging on by a fast-diminishing margin at Lingfield (6f maiden; 11-8 favourite) latest; that form has received a boost but this opening mark isn't a gimme and this stiff track also provides a sterner test. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
6f novice win at Windsor last July before appearing to improve when fourth in the Group 3 Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; form hasn't worked out at all); struggled thereafter and he makes his seasonal/handicap debut off a tough mark; has been gelded since last seen. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (14) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game. |
11/1 |
|
5 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Continued his steady progress with fourth in the Molecomb (good) at Goodwood when dropped to 5f, having won novice event earlier in July; form dipped at the York Ebor festival and reverts to 6f needing a rebound. |
14/1 |
