11st 7lb |
Won on fast ground at Ripon (1m2f) and Lingfield (11.6f) in June and he ran into a major improver when fourth in a Class 2 event at Beverley last time; probably still has some margin for error off this mark but he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Finally off the mark in Britain in May 2024 and runner-up on next four starts, including when coming from well back over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; however, he flopped when just 9-1 for the Cesarewitch (soft) that October and not seen since; that was his only run in Britain on softer than good; well handicapped were he to return at his best on this AW debut after 588 days off; market may guide. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Unraced in Britain on softer than good; finally off the mark in Britain in May and runner-up all four starts since; came from well back over 2m4f (a 1m step up in trip) at Glorious Goodwood and lost out in a duel from over 2f out in the Cesarewitch Trial over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb claimer gets the leg up this time; wore cheekpieces once (well beaten) in 2023 and now tries blinkers; strong each-way chance if they have no adverse effect. |

Upped to this trip for the first time when landing a C&D handicap 23 days ago; had a bit to spare on that occasion but this looks a much stronger race. |

Had cheekpieces on last two starts, on first occasion winning over C&D in February (3lb higher today); seventh of eight two months later but not beaten far; could have her say again. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has had a couple of close calls at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this winter but he's now 1-26 on the Flat and his only hurdle run was at Kempton (well-held sixth) in December 2022; probably best watched back in this sphere. |

Only 1-26 but he's consistent and gone down narrowly over 1m6f at Wolverhampton the last twice; effective here and at this trip; chance. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on old form, but is just 2-40 and his performances since joining this yard don't make him of much interest. |
33/1 |

28th Aug 2024 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Winless since 2021 and he was tailed off when returned to the Flat (1m2f) on stable debut last month; mark continues to fall but he's not been competitive for some time and has plenty to prove on this big step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
25/1 |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Winless since 2021 and he was well held on both starts over hurdles for Sarah Humphrey this summer; he needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. |

10th Feb 2024 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 since his successful racecourse debut and although he ran well when fourth of ten on stable debut here (1m) in December, he has failed to beat a rival in both starts since; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (3) |
4th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Trained by Richard Hannon for a successful debut; has gone 0-12 in the meantime but it was a respectable stable debut over C&D in December and perhaps Chelmsford didn't suit last time. |
33/1 |
