Won a Group 3 and Group 2 in France last season (1m, soft/good to soft); this prominent-racer has run well in defeat in 1m Group 2 races on his last three starts (soft/good) but needs something extra today. |

16th Mar 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Winner of this race for Johnny Murtagh, third of 19 last season when trained by George Boughey; generally disappointing since and the most recent of his five wins was for Murtagh in a 7f conditions race at Tipperary in April 2022; change of stable for 2025 campaign. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his third on heavy ground at the Curragh (1m) in March but he's been generally disappointing since and was only tenth of 14 at Doncaster two weeks ago; new headgear is now tried but his last win was in 2022 and others are more convincing. |
7/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Finished third in this race in 2021 and filled the same position at Ascot last time; not guaranteed to repeat the form, having been inconsistent this year, and his long losing run is another negative. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Group 1 winner in 2018 when trained in France but he's 0-11 for current stable; went close off 5lb higher in the 2022 Royal Hunt Cup but he's generally struggled in his last seven runs and refused to race at Sandown last month; others preferred. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Group 1 winner in 2018 when trained in France; 0-10 for current stable; close second in the 2022 Royal Hunt Cup but ran poorly in the latest running of that contest; others are more appealing. |
11/1 |

25th 7 (31) |
21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Group 1 winner in 2018 when trained in France; 0-9 for current yard but ran well (close second) off 1lb higher in this contest 12 months ago and has a fighting chance if back in the same form; hinted at a revival on latest outing. |

18th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Strode clear for an 11l success in Meydan handicap (1m2f, good) two months ago, recording a smart RPR; however, it remains to be seen whether he can transfer that improved form back to British soil and he's the stable second-string/ with William Buick on board Ottoman Fleet. |

Low-grade Flat performer who joined this yard for £5,000; 25-1 and tailed off in a good-ground maiden at Hexham. |
14/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a long losing run on the Flat but he ran creditably when last seen, finishing second at Redcar (1m2f, good; final outing for Tim Easterby) in October; changed hands for £5,000 soon after; going hurdling rather late but not without hope. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Runner-up in similar event at Ripon in August and has place claims if back to that form; far from certain to go one better, however, with losing sequence stretching back four years. |

Won two novice hurdles last year (2m/2m1f) but has finished last in his two handicaps; now fitted with a tongue-tie; wouldn't want rain. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Worcester maiden and Fontwell novice winner last summer/autumn; unseen since a 19l ninth of nine on October's Wincanton handicap debut, but retains vast handicapping scope judged on his smart Flat form; can go well fresh though doesn't always. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten in Group races on his last ten starts but went close in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1m6f, good to firm) last May and he was a good third in that same Group 2 a fortnight ago (good); he should be fine back up in trip and might not be far away. |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten a head in this last year, despite a highly tactical race; has held his form well (back in Dubai and Saudi Arabia this January-March) and should again be seriously involved, but to win this may require a career best. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form this year over 1m6f-2m at Meydan and in Saudi Arabia and continued the good work when staying on for a close second in a slowly run Group 2 Yorkshire Cup (1m6f, good to firm) in May; no show when 25-1 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) on latest outing but shouldn't be far away in this lesser race if there's a decent pace to aim at. |
