21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Improved form in 1m2f handicaps at the other Newmarket course on his first two starts this term, bossing a five-runner race (good to firm) impressively on second occasion; doing the same off this 8lb higher mark in 16-runner race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; 12-1) wasn't possible but he led entering straight until over 1f out and wasn't at all discredited in seventh (Princling fifth); could get run of the race this time and is one to consider. |

2nd 9 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Wide-margin maiden winner in October; proved a little underwhelming when third on his handicap debut/reappearance at Newmarket (again 1m2f; first-time cheekpieces) in May and disappointed over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster (again favourite) seven weeks ago; no headgear today, which may help, and maybe this trip will be his sweet spot but there are questions to answer. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Marked improvement through three-race 2yo career over 1m/1m2f on soft/good; could hardly have scored more easily when 1-7 on final start in that campaign, which he did not live up to when 5-4 favourite with cheekpieces back over Newmarket's 1m2f (good to firm) in handicap on reappearance but his trainer has a major rethink with today's trip; can't be ruled out. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Marked improvement through three-race 2yo career, beating a fair maiden by 15l when he won a four-runner maiden at 1-7 over C&D (good) final start; that can't be the most solid form but he could hardly have done it more easily and is a Derby entry; fascinating handicap debutant in first-time headgear. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-running wins in a Southwell novice (1m) and Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f; with authority) in his only two AW races; those were way better than turf performances at Newmarket on debut and in 1m2f handicap (good to firm) on latest outing, which is a concern even though these are early days. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Well beaten at 50-1 on debut here (7f, good) in October; way better, however, for front-running wins in a Southwell novice (1m) in November and seven-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in January; those wins were AW but with authority last time (8lb higher today) and he could be a useful prospect. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (7) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Well-beaten 50-1 shot on his Newmarket debut in October but he put that experience to good use with a front-running 1m win at Southwell three weeks later; open to further progress now up in trip for his handicap debut. |
