15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten in Royal Ascot Listed race last time but had an excuse as he was badly hampered early; before that he won a handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on Oaks day and is not ruled out; versatile ground-wise in the past; makes yard debut having left George Boughey (remains in same ownership). |

20th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Second in this last year; back to best when producing a really smart handicap performance to defy a big weight at the recent Epsom Derby meeting (1m2f, good to firm); cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained; not long in the excellent George Boughey yard and should make a bold bid to go one place better than 12 months ago. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Went close when returned to Britain at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) last August but towards the rear on all four starts since, latest when back on good ground 13 days ago; coming down the weights but best watched at present. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |

Very useful winner at his best; posted a good third over 1m4f here in August but below par on softer ground subsequently; not dismissed off a reduced mark on his return. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |

Well beaten when upped to 13.2f at Newbury last month but showed spark when close third of seven in slowly run race at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) previously; his handicap wins have come at 1m1f/1m2f and he seems versatile ground-wise; not ruled out now back down in trip. |

10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
From the front he conceded only late on at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 12 days ago and gets in here off the same mark; his inconsistency is a drawback, however. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
28th Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Inconsistent and was well beaten at Windsor last month, but prior to that he was a good third at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) and a repeat of that penultimate form would put him bang there. |
8/1 |
|
12th 10 (12) |
17th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
All three wins have come first time out (2020, 2021 and 2022) over 1m2f at Yarmouth on good to firm, making all in small fields on last two occasions; failed to repeat the feat in a much more demanding Newmarket race on this year's return, but third at Epsom on Oaks day was creditable; likely to find this race a bit too competitive. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His only win was back in 2020 in a Tipperary maiden; has threatened a few times since and wasn't beaten all that far at York last time, but others appeal more for the win; tries cheekpieces. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Only win in 23 attempts was at Tipperary on second juvenile start (7f, good to yielding) when with Joseph O'Brien; some fair form since, notably when third over C&D off 4lb higher in May (good); poor run over C&D (good to soft) latest. |

Acts on soft; beaten all 22 times since winning in 2020 on second start; creditable third in two of six races this season, including in 20-runner C&D race on penultimate outing; case can be made but not the percentage call. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Sandown (1m, soft) last May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to firm) in August; made a satisfactory reappearance when seventh at 40-1 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) five weeks ago and is probably effective at this track, so he's one to consider. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below best on first and final starts last season but enjoyed a good campaign, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) in May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to soft) in August; should be suited by a strongly run race at this trip and he's an each-way contender if fully tuned up for his return. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely disappointing for this stable under both codes and, after a brief respite on the Flat at Newbury in April, he refused to come out of the stalls at York last month, both times in this headgear; best hurdle effort when runner-up at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in October offers some hope on handicap switch, but current form is a clear concern. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Formerly useful for Kevin Ryan but was sold last July and has been comfortably held since on the Flat and over hurdles; this tongue-tie (tried once in 2023) returned on latest outing, along with first-time hood; 17lb below his peak mark, but no win since he scored twice at York in 2023. |

9st 2lb |
Won here last September (1m4f, heavy) and this April (1m2f, soft), while he also went close over C&D on good ground last September; second off this mark at Goodwood four weeks ago confirmed he's been in career-best form, but there would be more for him to prove if the ground is good to firm. |

Looked on a tough mark at Epsom last time but he won decisively under a positive ride on soft ground he loves; 5lb higher for this and it's hard to believe everything will pan out quite so favourably once more. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |

No win since taking a Class 2 at Sandown (1m2f) in July 2023; kicked off 2025 with a pleasing AW effort at Newcastle (runner-up from 4lb higher) but unable to build positively on that since; latest 1m4f Ripon third (Haptics sixth) respectable but the wait for another win may go on. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

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. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |

His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |

Useful handicapper on his day including on AW, but unplaced in all nine starts since reappearing a year ago and would be receiving weight from all his rivals in a handicap. |
