Won the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) in August and Listed runner-up at Dundalk (7f, AW) three weeks ago; however, in between those he was a soundly beaten fourth behind Dancing Gemini in a Listed race here (7f, soft) and he's down the pecking order today. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Enhanced his good record at York with a fifth of 15 at the Ebor meeting over this trip; handicapper is retaining a hold on him but he has each-way claims. |
14/1 |

5th 14 (15) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Winner here over 1m on good to soft last autumn and two creditable efforts over C&D (good to firm) in the first half of this summer; ran poorly in a Racing League event at Yarmouth last month but not without hope back here. |
18/1 |
|
13th 9 (5) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Last season's two wins came on good to soft going (unraced on slower) and he's run pretty well in defeat at York (1m2f, good to firm) on his last two starts; could take a step forward now back on slow ground. |

28,000euros foal, 24,000gns 2yo; second foal; half-brother to 1m/8.6f 2yo winner Hurry Up Hedley (RPR 65); dam unplaced half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner; trainer has done a great job with the 2yo Ballymount Boy but others are more compelling than this newcomer; has been gelded. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-4 last season but this prominent-racer ran well more often than not, including when third in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) on his reappearance; also effective at 1m and on slow ground; there can be optimism he'll be at or close to the top of his game on this seasonal debut; chance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has a good 7f record, including a near miss in a Newbury Listed race on good to soft 15 days ago; everything points to a big run from this former C&D winner. |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Failed to get home over 1m in French race most recently; last two attempts over 7f comprise a very useful handicap win at Ascot (soft) and creditable third in Haydock Group 3 (good); major player back down in trip. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field in Dubai on his stable debut in December (1m1f, good to firm); can go well fresh so a 106-day absence no bad thing; hasn't run over 7f since his debut but he lurks on a dangerous mark and new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
8/1 |
|
8 (12) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Four starts at 1m this term have yielded good seconds in competitive York handicaps but his two goes over C&D don't match them; that's enough to put him down the pecking order. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Ended a long losing run at Lingfield (1m2f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there the following month; considered. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He had been badly out of sorts prior to popping up at 80-1 in a C&D handicap four weeks ago; still has handicapping scope up 3lb but it remains to be seen if he can back that effort up. |
5/1 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His mark continues to tumble but he isn't giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage, failing to beat a rival on all three AW starts this winter. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations. |
11/1 |

4 (5) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was all the sharper for his reappearance when resuming his progression with a 2l win at Ayr (1m2f, good); the runner-up was 6l clear of the third so the handicapper could have put him up by more than 4lb; could be more to come from him now stepping up to 1m4f for the first time. |

9st 10lb |
Did only what was necessary in order to open his account in four-runner 6f maiden at Newcastle 19 days ago; has much more to do back in a handicap and chance may hinge on how he settles in a first-time hood up to 1m. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can be a handful in the preliminaries (bolted before start/got loose on two occasions) but was never seriously challenged when making all on Lingfield AW (7f) 18 days ago; back up 3lb and might cope with return to 6f with forcing tactics again; more obvious than many. |
5/2 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Yet to be placed in eight starts, though it looked as though he would apprciate the return to this trip when fifth of ten on his Wolverhampton return (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; still needs a bit more, though. |
5/1 |
|
3 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and lightly raced since a promising 2yo debut; out of the frame in two starts over 7f here in the spring (in cheekpieces, now removed); returns from another 104 days off and only of interest if backed. |

13-race maiden; on a dangerous mark on last year's best but it's been tougher going this year and the drop to 6f/fitting of a visor didn't have the desired effect last time. |

6 (11) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; in good form last summer but he failed to fire at Catterick last August and he hasn't threatened in two 1m handicaps this year; dangerous mark if the drop in trip and fitting of a visor perks him up; stable also run Canon's House. |

Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here. |

20th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Group 1 Futurity entry; best of the newcomers when third of ten in maiden here (7f, soft; 1l behind Navy Jack) in July, after making a big challenge over 1f out; 11-2 but ducked to his right from the outside stall when always behind in valuable maiden at York (7f, good to firm) four weeks later; has the outside stall again but it's too early to forget the debut promise. |

8-1, best of the newcomers when third of ten to subsequent Listed winner at Sandown (7f, soft) last month; pedigree provides optimism he'll improve and rookie trainer has unearthed some useful 2yos this year; contender. |
