11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked fortunate to win at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July on debut; third of five in a novice on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in August but, having been gelded, failed to stay in a nursery at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; drop back in trip may help but others are more solid. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Both starts on good to firm; fortuitous winner at Sandown (7f; runner-up unlucky) but wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Newmarket (1m); gelded since; this Godolphin runner remains open to progress and must go on the shortlist. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
13-2 and the apparent stable second-string when winning on last month's debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm); the unlucky runner-up has since gone one better; now carries a penalty against some interesting opponents but this half-brother to a Group 3 winner could have lots more to offer. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only beat two rivals home in his three novice/maiden runs as a 2yo (all 1m); gelded since last seen; surprising if this stoutly-bred 3yo couldn't leave those efforts well behind now his stamina is being more fully tested. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field in his two runs in 1m novices on turf but has shown some promise; may not come into his own until tackling handicaps over 1m2f+. |

2nd 3 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record is only 1-6 but he's consistent on bare figures and has two pieces of Group 3 form, last time fourth of five (not disgraced) in a Chester Vase won by the the colt who is now Derby favourite; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Derby entry; progressive as 2yo (hooded three times) while always finding one or two too good for him, in the last instance when third behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); it's unlikely he had to reproduce that form when seeing off a newcomer by half a length in novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) on reappearance, at 4-7; not the most exciting on that evidence but likely to relish this extra distance. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten favourite in three 1m novice/maiden runs but showed high level of ability; improved for the step up to 1m2f when finishing third of eight in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket when last seen; should have no difficulty winning a novice and he sets a high standard for his rivals to aim at. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown fairly useful form in winning on the July course here and finishing fourth in Haydock Listed contest, both over 1m; however, needs improvement on bare ratings in this field. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Saw off two Godolphin runners when making winning debut in novice at Newmarket (1m, good to firm; 12-1) last month, never far away after sluggish start and always doing enough; this is tougher but his yard is having a good season with its 2yos and improvement seems likely. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 record includes three runs here but he's run well on all of those visits, including when third of six in a hot Class 4 on his April return; filled that position again at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good) 12 days ago and this free-going sort may benefit from today's drop back to 1m; player. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Best form on return when third of six off this mark on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) but an enthusiasm to get on with it took him to the front again that day and a repeat would probably see him vulnerable once more. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Best of his four 2yo runs came when second here (7f, soft) in August, and he also showed promise on fast ground; bred to be suited by the step up in trip but he was headstrong on occasions last year, which is a concern, and improvement is needed off his opening mark. |
