25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Both runs at Brighton, winning on soft-ground debut over 7f but not in the some form when well-held third under a penalty over 1m on good to firm nine days ago; down 2f in trip now; the return to deep ground may help but he has lots to find on form. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
12-1 for maiden here (7f, soft) one month ago, held up and last of seven at halfway but leading over 2f out and soon in firm control, despite looking green; needs improvement to defy a penalty but that was a promising start. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
25,000euros breeze-up 2yo; third foal; half-brother to Swedish 7f winner American Lily (including 2yo); dam US 6f AW 2yo winner, sister to 6.5f/7f winner First Down, half-sister to winners Gold City (smart 6f/7f including 2yo) and Clear Water (7f Listed); has good pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten four times and more consistent than progressive; however, he's got the best form of these and looks sure to have a major say. |
13/8 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Improved with each of his three starts, most recently picked off by Fighter's Spirit in the dying strides at Beverley 18 days ago (1m2f, good); 7lb better off today for half a length but he isn't guaranteed to turn the tables on his less-exposed rival. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Seemed in need of the experience and/or found 1m on the sharp side in sole 2yo start; fared better with third-place finish upped to 1m2f at Bath (good) on reappearance and is bred to do better still, being related to a few winners for his yard; respected. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Not particularly solid on 2yo form and ran below market expectations on final outing (handicap debut); makes reappearance. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
18-1 when well beaten in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) in July; has a useful pedigree but not seen since and needs a transformation. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October; never looked like winning on his seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; may need more of a test. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October, having previously run well over 7f on Tapeta here; gelded during 173-day break; open to improvement in handicaps this year. |
7/1 |

4 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Showed ability on turf on first two starts and rather more when second of nine in novice at Southwell (7f, AW; favourite) 13 days ago; the one to beat if that AW form is transferred. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing in retained cheekpieces last time when making handicap debut and bidding for a Kempton AW double (1m3f); chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Found a bit when stepped up to this trip here five weeks ago, getting up in the final strides to beat the only other runner in camera shot; doubt he's done improving and Harry Davies chooses him over stablemate Toastmaster, who he's ridden in four of his five starts. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ran to a similar level in his first three races, though was turned over at odds of 2-5 here before taking a backward step when tried in cheekpieces at Lingfield; has a bit to prove on the back of that and he's been kept to 1m thus far. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
16-1 for novice at Salisbury (1m, good) two weeks ago, never dangerous and beaten 19l; looks a longer-term project. |
25/1 |
|
8 (2) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Third foal; Ulysses half-brother to winners Team Player (1m4f; RPR 81) and Continuance (1m2f Flat, 75; 2m/2m1f hurdle); dam 1m/1m2f winner (92); may be of greater interest when tackling further than this debut trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Remote last at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (5f, good to firm) later in June; off 110 days and stepped right up in trip, but best watched. |
100/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off at 80-1 on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) a fortnight ago and it's highly likely she's best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
March foal; first foal; dam 5f AW winner (RPR 76), half-sister to winners Gallovie (6f-8.5f including 2yo), Star Mind (7f including 2yo) and Zuhair (7f-8.4f), out of Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner; has fair standard to aim at on debut and yard 0-12 with juveniles in recent years. |
