28th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 179y |
12st 2lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe; useful five-time Flat winner for Andrew Balding; could make no impression when returning to Britain for the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot; no match for a Willie Mullins-trained favourite in a novice hurdle at Roscommon three weeks ago. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 204y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark over hurdles on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good) in May; smart form on the Flat for Andrew Balding but came up short back on the level in a hot Royal Ascot handicap three weeks ago; top-rated here at 128; obvious chance on ground that will suit. |

Progressive for Andrew Balding last year, winning two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f, AW/good); went over hurdles last month for his new yard and won a maiden at Ballinrobe three weeks ago; could go well now back on the Flat. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up on good to soft in May; won three in a row (1m4f/1m6f, good to firm) before good fourth in the Melrose over C&D (good to firm) in August; also ran well, staying on, at Haydock on latest outing and looks a major each-way player but he needs to resume his improvement to win. |

Won three in a row (1m4f/1m6f, good to firm; including C&D) before beaten 5l when fourth in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm), when about 3l behind runner-up Denmark; however, that was still a solid run in a hot race and he's 4lb better off with Denmark here; can give another good account. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |

Off the mark in Chepstow novice (1m4f, good to firm) in June and won two handicaps (1m6f, good to firm) to complete a hat-trick; hit with a 9lb rise since Haydock last time but he's highly progressive and his trainer (who saddles two in this) has won two of the last four runnings; key player. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |

AW Flat winner in 2023; best hurdles run when third in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in October (2m1f, good; cheekpieces; form sound); pulled up when visored at Kelso last time (2m, soft); today's better ground should suit; up in trip on handicap debut with cheekpieces back on. |
