9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise of his 2023 2yo campaign but he was a close third off this mark at Salisbury four weeks ago (6f, heavy) and will be bang there if repeating that form. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 2yo novice over C&D in 2023 when with Eve Johnson Houghton; mixed results since and ran very moderately on his return to Britain in a 6f handicap at Ripon. |
12/1 |

11th 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runaway win in a 2yo novice at Salisbury (6f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2023; mixed results in eight runs since but he was a front-running third in a conditions race in Qatar (7f) in May; on dangerous mark now back in Britain and he's not ruled out on this return to sprinting. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's won twice at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year and bounced back with a creditable third at Haydock (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was an eye-catching effort from off the pace and he's respected back up in trip. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
It took a drop into classified company for him to return to winning ways in February (6f, AW; blinkered first time; final run for John Butler); gained a second Newcastle win of the year last month but he raced far too freely back there on Monday; up in class today and likely vulnerable. |
14/1 |
|
10th 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First-time blinkers saw him return to winning ways in a C&D classified event in February; won C&D handicap on second start for new yard last month; holds strong claims again. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Modest form in six Flat runs and he's 0-11 over hurdles; beaten 11l when fifth at Taunton (2m, good; 15-8 favourite) in March but he went close there on his penultimate run and has claims if he recapture that form. |
9/2 |
|
5th 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Remains winless after 16 races (six Flat, ten over hurdles) but the last four, latest over C&D, all suggest a major role today. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Remains winless but he was running well (still close up) when falling two out in 2m Wincanton handicap in January; he ought to be thereabouts off an unchanged mark. |

100,000gns yearling; Advertise half-brother to six winners, notably Princess Loulou (1m-1m2f including Listed; dam of Nashwa); interesting newcomer, especially if the market speaks positively. |

16th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since his inauspicious debut (finished last of 13) at Newbury two months ago; best watched unless the market suggests he's expected to improve markedly. |
20/1 |
|
13th 6 (7) |
15th Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
110,000gns yearling; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful winners Marquix (1m-1m4f including Listed), Sceptre Rouge (7f-1m including 2yo Listed) and Maradini (1m 2yo); sire an influence for speed; market can guide as to expectations. |

10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Suffered a poor run from 2f out when last of ten in 7f Wolverhampton nursery 15 days ago; blinkers go on now and he remains with some potential. |

5th 6 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Single-figure odds but he's finished a remote sixth over C&D and at Salisbury (6f, both on good) in his two runs this summer; still very early days but can only be watched until he shows more positive signs; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Out of a sprint winner but he's finished out the back in three 6f events on fast and slow ground in the last four weeks; this is more realistic but he still needs a major improvement on his nursery debut. |
10/1 |

Also hooded at Salisbury (6f, good) where he finished a long way behind the winner who had pushed James's Delight close the time before; needs to leave that run well behind. |

took keen hold, towards rear, switched right when headway over 2f out, led over 1f out, soon hung right and bumped rival, headed inside final 110yds, just held |
6/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
1st Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Keen-going sort who has been in mainly good heart in turf handicaps since May (26212), the win coming at Yarmouth (1m, good) in July; a player if maintaining his form on Polytrack debut. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark over C&D (good) 19 days ago after finishing second a couple of times; raised 4lb but should give it a good go in his follow-up bid. |
