9st 0lb |
The sole 3yo in the field and he showed he's smart on just his fifth career start when 1l second of 15 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June, although it probably wasn't a vintage renewal of that race; Australian interests subsequently acquired a 50% share in him and he's moved from James Ferguson to Harry Eustace ahead of this first outing for 11 weeks. |

9st 3lb |
Beat Covey, albeit with that rival was making his debut, in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April when making it two wins from three starts; soft ground may not have been ideal when 9l fourth in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury last time and he retains potential, but others look more compelling. |

Found the Group 1 Middle Park too much too soon; that defeat is flanked by two novice wins, latest at Southwell (7f, AW) where he beat a colt who franked the form at Newmarket on Tuesday; could go well for in-form stable. |

9st 3lb |
Notably progressive in the spring, having plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) to complete a hat-trick; however, he came unstuck in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 11-4 favourite) the following month; retains potential but needs a big step forward against some high-class older opposition here. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (11) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Impressed in 7f maiden/novice races (good to soft/AW) in the first part of spring and again had plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last time; displayed obvious Group-race potential at Haydock and he has strong claims for his top yard. |

1st 5 (4) |
27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has worn a hood on all three starts; went close on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and won in fine style the next twice (7f, good to soft/AW); in a tough race on handicap debut but is in top hands and could prove to be better than his opening mark, provided the absence of the hood isn't an issue. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed on all three AW starts this year, most recently when second on handicap debut at Chelmsford (7f) eight days ago; needs to settle better and prove herself on turf here but should still have improvement to come. |

2nd 6 (10) |
8th Jun 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Fair form on this season's two starts over 7f and she is the type to do better now switching to handicaps; outside draw not ideal for one so inexperienced but she is nevertheless an interesting runner. |

28th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Showed ability in his first three starts including when fourth of 11 on his return in an above-average Southwell novice (7f, Tapeta) in April, but has something to prove after an underwhelming handicap debut at Newmarket (1m good to soft) ten weeks ago. |
14/1 |

19th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Fair form at Sandown (7f/1m, on soft ground on second occasion) as 2yo and at Southwell (7f, AW) 15 days ago; makes handicap debut and may still do better. |

4th 4 (10) |
4th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

From a successful family and showed promise in two starts at Sandown (7f/1m) last year, finishing fourth of seven behind a subsequent Listed winner on the second occasion; can be handicapped after this but still holds each-way claims on this return; stable also runs Bell Song. |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |

2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

Still a maiden after eight starts but he didn't get much luck when a creditable third off this sliding mark at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time; wouldn't want this to be tactical but he has claims if he gets a decent pace. |

The best of his seven runs was on debut when runner-up on Tapeta; the hood is again absent after a quiet latest effort at Newmarket; none too convincing. |

18-1 when eighth of 11 on his Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; should improve, but his classy pedigree suggests that shorter trips may suit him better. |

Brother to winners Khaadem (5f-6f including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 119), Log Out Island (6f Listed and 5f 2yo; 112) and Moqadama (Canadian 1m1f AW); dam 5f 2yo/6f winner (70), half-sister to 6f Listed winner Lady Links; attractively bred and stable can get them ready first time, though his speedy pedigree suggests this trip may stretch him on debut; market useful. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out. |
