29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark in a 6f maiden here on his reappearance in March; fair third at Southwell later that month but his form has nosedived on turf (handled it fine as a 2yo) on his last two starts (both in cheekpieces which are absent today); hopes pinned on the step up to 7f and the return to AW sparking a revival. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Latest Ripon run is not the one to judge him on as he didn't handle the track; earlier Southwell third didn't suggest he was ahead of the handicapper; well drawn back at 5f but this is a step up in class. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promise as a 2yo and he only had to match that form to make a winning seasonal return at Wolverhampton last month; well backed back in handicap company at Southwell three weeks ago but he was ultimately a shade disappointing; connections now reach for headgear. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive first three starts but he has not cut much ice in handicaps, fading into eighth at Wetherby on latest; at least the handicapper is cutting him some slack and the good recent form of his stable is a plus. |

8th 9 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Made a quite encouraging seasonal debut last month (6f, AW) but never really looked threatening when midfield at Newmarket (7f, good) 12 days ago and needs to up his game. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his 2yo success at 6f but reappearance effort over that trip suggests he'll be suited by this step back up in distance; balance of form suggests he'll probably come up short in this field, however. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising second over C&D last October, his second racecourse start; no better than midfield in three runs in Dubai over the winter; this should be less demanding and he's not fully exposed just yet. |

2nd 4 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
£210,000 son of Mehmas who showed promise when keeping on for third on his 6f Newmarket debut in May; split subsequent nursery winners from marks in the 70s so the form is reasonable without being anything special; open to improvement five months on. |

3rd 2 (1) |
18th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

£210,000 yearling by Mehmas; sixth foal; half-brother to five winners including Redemption Time (5f including 2yo/Bahrain; RPR 93), Twilight Romance (6f including 2yo; 91) and Private Island (7f/1m; 71); dam 6f-1m winner (including Listed; 105) out of French Oaks winner; yard (also runs You Sexy Thing) had a 2yo justify favouritism on debut four days ago. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f events on Polytrack in February; unplaced in both handicaps though and his latest 2lb drop isn't enough to tempt. |

10th 2 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All four runs over 6f; dead-heated in a Chelmsford maiden and narrowly defied a penalty here in a novice that's worked out well; made an underwhelming handicap debut at Southwell but he's back at Lingfield with cheekpieces added and well drawn to boot. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unplaced in his one turf start as a 2yo; gelded afterwards and made a winning reappearance when dead-heating in a Chelmsford maiden six weeks ago (6f); narrowly defied a penalty at Lingfield 13 days later and that form has been boosted with the second and fourth winning since; needs more to defy this mark but he is willing and could progress further. |
