29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Disappointed at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago; earlier Windsor third was a solid effort though and the return of blinkers (worn at Windsor but left off latest) could see him resume his progress. |

3rd 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has led; won 6f Windsor novice as 2yo, also in the frame in Listed events; found little when upped to 7f on Newbury comeback but finished close up back over 6f at Windsor recently in new aids (tongue-tie retained, blinkers discarded); stamina still to be proved over 7f but can't rule out. |

3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 0-10 since debut win but he is much less exposed on AW than on turf and ran well, behind a subsequent winner, in this sphere on penultimate start; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Still to add to his debut win but twice a runner-up in handicaps this summer, more recently at Lingfield (7f, AW) three weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower; dangerous if left alone up front. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried following his successful debut at Ayr (6f, good) in June last year and wasn't up to it; second of nine in a handicap at Chester (7.7f, good to soft) in June, but has enough to prove after a modest AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
2yo campaign bookended with wins and went close on reappearance this time around (sole AW start); quiet since and the fitting of a tongue-tie and returning to 6f haven't helped of late. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Went close on seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March but largely disappointing over that trip since; too well handicapped to rule out on this return to 6f but others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
15th 13 (18) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won at both sprint trips as a 2yo but he hasn't been at the forefront of calculations in three turf handicaps this year and has ground to make up on Quantum Power on their recent Newmarket run; looks to have his share of weight and fitting a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in last season's Group 2 Gimcrack at York but that form hasn't worked out at all; has come up well short in Group 2, Group 1 and Listed company in three runs this year; had a wind op since latest start but still not an obvious one to enhance his trainer's fine record in this race. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Chased home Lifeplan in the Gimcrack last August; well beaten in Group 2/Group 1 events so far this year; this drop in class could revive his fortunes but he is up against some progressive sorts. |
10/1 |
|
15th 11 (22) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second in the Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) last August but well beaten in the Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) next time and same story in the Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last month; cheekpieces and the return to fast ground could help but others have less to prove. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All three of his wins came as 2yo, the most recent in the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September, but he ran his best this year when fourth of eight in first-time cheekpieces in Group 2 at Doncaster (7f, good) last time; won't be troubled by this drop back in trip and he's a leading contender on his AW debut. |
7/4 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced over only shorter trips but a couple of efforts in his below-par 2026 campaign suggest this step up to 7f, combined with first-time headgear, may prompt a resurgence; proved a progressive juvenile last term, signing off with Middle Park win. |
14/1 |
|
22th 15 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off. |
