21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped to 5f and sporting blinkers for the first time he produced an impressive display at Newcastle 13 days ago, travelling strongly and looking a cut above Class 6 level; up 6lb against stronger opposition this time but could well have more to offer at the trip. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Early promise for Andrew Balding; not so good in 2025 but he is tumbling down the weights and drops in trip with blinkers fitted; still relatively low mileage for a race of this nature. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Failed to build on a promising start for Andrew Balding and beaten in a maiden and a claimer in two Irish runs; makes handicap debut for another new yard on first sighting since February; enough to prove. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed bag to date but he did better for the step up to 1m4f at Wolverhampton a month ago, an effort that's been boosted with the winner and fourth going in since; yard back among the winners with a double here last Monday and he's one to consider. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-5 and a bit of a mixed bag so far, his best effort when beaten a short head and a head into third of seven in a maiden here (9.5f) in January; well held in both handicaps, but there is stamina in his pedigree with the longer trip in mind and he remains unexposed. |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) last December; only fourth of seven at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and could do with settling better, but that was a hot novice and this 500,000gns yearling retains potential. |

4th 3 (7) |
7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
500,000gns yearling; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs late on when dead-heating for second of 11 on his Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) in December; no problem with the extra furlong on breeding and holds an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry; big player if ready to go after three months off. |

12th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
500,000gns yearling and has an entry in next year's Irish 2,000 Guineas; first foal out of a German Guineas winner; lots to like. |

20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden who's still to finish placed and who's run well below market billing a couple of times; headgear comes off as he goes up from 6f for a yard that's been struggling for winners lately. |

towards rear, pushed along 3f out, ridden and steady headway on near side of group 2f out, led inside final furlong, soon drifted left, bumped inside final 110yds, headed towards finish, kept on |

2nd 1 (5) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Made a green debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, before a big step up on that when a 25-1 second at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) nine days later, separating the front two in the market; bred to appreciate this step up in trip and looks a big player. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Second runner for yard; all five wins have come on the AW at 6f/7f; good third here over 6f on penultimate; last of 24 in Curragh premier handicap last month; on ratings has a big chance but might struggle over this trip. |
3/1 |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
All five wins have come on the AW, most recently good third to Dark Ace at Dundalk last month; fair bit to find with some of these on two runs here in premier handicaps, penultimate behind Sondad in Scurry. |

3rd 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

All five wins have come on the AW, including twice over C&D last winter; encouraging turf return at Newmarket in May hasn't been built on, cheekpieces tried last time now ditched; back on favoured surface but races off 15lb higher mark. |

4th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Never happy on heavy ground at Leicester and was again below spring levels on soft going over C&D last time; perhaps the better surface will help but it needs to; trainer also saddles True Blue Gent. |

12th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Bang there in his first two handicaps over 1m on the AW and 7f on good to firm; those efforts didn't damage his mark and heavy ground was a valid excuse last time. |

Still unexposed after only five runs and recovered well from awkward start to go close on handicap debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; disappointed over 6f there last month, though, and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; tongue-tie/cheekpieces fitted. |

17th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bred to be a Black Type performer; just modest form in three 7f novice events on AW in the latter part of 2023 but likely to take a big step forward now upped in trip and tackling a Class 6 handicap. |

12th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

RPRs in the 60s in 7f novices at Kempton and here; unlikely to be good enough and handicaps will be more like it. |

24th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

28-1 when well held on her Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) last month; improvement needed, but she is half-sister to two AW winners so she shouldn't be written off entirely. |
