8st 13lb |
Twice a winner on soft and third in last October's 2yo Group 1 on heavy at Doncaster; soundly beaten in the Derby on fourth run this season; first-time cheekpieces and back near the Doncaster form when second of five in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in July on latest outing but he has something to find with the comfortable winner Kalpana; makes AW debut. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
18-race maiden but he returned to some form when third of 13 over this C&D 24 days ago, albeit he didn't help his chance by hanging left; may be able to build on that. |
9/4 |

3rd 3 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried on occasion by Ben Brookhouse and regressed sharply last year prior to being sold for £5,000 in October; big prices and well held in four AW runs for this yard, which also saddles Havana Club; hard to latch on to unless there's been market support behind him. |

Maiden; showed fairly useful form for previous yard but holds poor claims on his Wolverhampton efforts this winter for new stable. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; however, well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October, gelded and never dangerous in 2m Ascot Group 3 (150-1) on return, so he seems to be swimming against the tide in this good race. |
50/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
A novice event remains his only win from ten races but he was fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October and gelded last month; some caution has to be advised. |
100/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; fourth in Group 1 Futurity here (1m, heavy) last October; sole win was a novice event but he came from last (over 5f out) to fourth in a 16-runner race for the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) next time and also stayed on when beaten a neck in Listed contest at Windsor (11.4f, soft) three weeks ago; wore cheekpieces in those last two starts but now tries blinkers; the trip makes some appeal but he does need to improve. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly ring-rusty on Group 3 return at Newbury two weeks ago, the same story as in 2025 when he followed that race with a win at this meeting in a four-runner 1m4f Group 2 with first-time cheekpieces; they were kept for two modest efforts last June but have not been called on this season; this is his first handicap and he has a big chance if springing back to his best. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last May in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept for two modest efforts in June but not today; first run since a gelding operation in September; ring-rusty on his 2025 reappearance in this race and the market may reveal whether the same is expected this time. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Displayed improved form in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when winning the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; flopped in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom subsequently but was reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground; he could be just the type of older horse his trainer excels with and he's not ruled out. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third over 2m1f at Cartmel in the summer; carries a penalty but should be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken well to hurdling, just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D (soft) last month; open to improvement and should go well under a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 |
21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Signed off on the Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam with 2m AW win in January (RPR 80) and was very much in contention before final-flight unseat over C&D (good to soft) on stable/hurdle debut in May; Richie McLernon presumably had the pick of the two stable runners in this race; shortlisted. |

prominent, went second from over 4f out, ridden over 1f out, soon edged left and lost ground, rallied inside final furlong, kept on and led towards finish |

16th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
155,000gns yearling buy, by No Nay Never; dam unraced sister to winners Deauville (US 1m2f Grade 1) and The Corsican (1m3f Group 3); stable has had an excellent season with juveniles and he is well worth a market check on debut. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Came good at seventh attempt, with cleacut success at Wetherby (7f, good) last month, and didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on third behind all-the-way winner at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; remains very much of interest. |

3rd 6 (5) |
3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Justified favouritism at Wetherby (good) three weeks ago, proving suited by the drop back to 7f and opening his account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but remains unexposed at this trip; shortlisted. |

19th Jun 2024 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in his first two handicaps (6f AW and 7f good) but he didn't handle the bend at Windsor five weeks ago and was again well beaten back at Windsor last month; down in the weights but ground slower than good would be a query. |

On a career-high mark but he won well from the front at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen and may remain competitive; dual scorer on turf and doesn't necessarily need to dominate. |

31st Aug 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

50-1 when a remote last of five on his Newmarket debut in June (7f, good); connections waste little time in reaching for headgear. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
85,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Kid Conte (French Listed-placed 7f/1m including 2yo; RPR 86) and Artemia (German 7f 2yo/7.5f); dam 7f AW 2yo winner (78), sister to 5f 2yo Group 2 winner Zebedee; quite a bit to like on paper and interesting to see how he figures in market. |
