16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual novice winner; 0-4 in handicaps but only 2l away in his last two (7f/1m) and blinkers could be a notable addition as he was on and off the bridle last time at Sandown. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Still early days for him in handicaps and this dual novice winner was only 2l away last time at Newbury (7f, good to firm); trainer happy to return to 1m and he's in the mix. |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three runs over 7f last summer, winning two novices (Doncaster and Wolverhampton) before reportedly unsuited by soft ground on handicap debut; 305-day absence before respectable seventh of 12 at Kempton (1m, AW; 13-2) three weeks ago; needs to improve his turf form and these are early days. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in sole AW start; fairly useful on her day, best effort this term when neck second in Haydock handicap in August; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in class. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Not the easiest to predict and has only won a Newbury novice from ten starts; however, went mighty close off just 2lb lower at Haydock on his penultimate run so he's not one to put a line through; likes to lead and had no freedom at York last time. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, good headway from over 1f out, soon ridden, kept on well to lead towards finish |

2nd 7 (8) |
13th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Took a while to get off the mark but he's making up for lost time, ending his 3yo campaign with two 6f wins and completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton on his reappearance last month; had subsequent winners back in third and fifth last time and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair; major player again back on turf. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won over 7f on Yarmouth debut last October; faded in the closing stages after briefly looking in control on his 7f Newbury reappearance, but perhaps he needed the outing a bit more than was anticipated (went off 4-6) and the fact he held an entry in the Group 1 St James's Palace at the time suggests his leading stable thinks quite a bit of him. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
19-race maiden; ran some good races in defeat for this yard last year, including when last seen in October (1m2f, good to soft); withdrawn at the start having got upset in the stalls ahead of this month's intended return (10-1 at the time of withdrawal); others preferred for win purposes. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second over 1m here last August and he was a respectable third over 1m2f at Redcar (good to soft) when last seen in the autumn; should be competitive if ready to roll after 196 days off |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in August and is now 2lb below that mark, but was unable to land a telling blow on next two starts (1m/9.4f) and must up his game on this first attempt at 1m2f. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Flopped when favourite on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) 38 days ago but gelded since and he easily made all in a maiden over this C&D (good to soft) in July; this unexposed 3yo is in top hands and it will be no surprise if he plays a leading role in first-time cheekpieces. |

30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to smart Al Mubhir (runs here 2.50); faded right out of it, however, when 14-1 in maiden at Newmarket (1m3f) and 16-1 in six-runner novice at Doncaster (7f, good); at least only one of today's rivals has shown markedly better form, so one to consider. |
