9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive handicapper last season who ended up in the St Leger, perhaps a little flattered by that bare result as the form has not been repeated; third in the 2m5f Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot on penultimate outing was clearly his most competitive show this season and gives hope, but he flopped at Newbury on latest. |

Progressive handicapper last season and ended up in the St Leger; perhaps a little flattered by that bare result, as the form has not been repeated, but third in the 2m5f Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot on latest outing was clearly his most competitive show this season and gives hope; more to prove on softer than good but overall he looks of renewed interest. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Regularly hooded and goes on all ground; progressive 1m4f/1m6f handicapper last season and ended up in the St Leger (wasn't disgraced, beaten 7l); hasn't really got anything going this year since gelded, last time finishing last of four runners in an Italian Listed race (1m4f); every chance on the figures if rediscovering his mojo and seeing out the trip, but there are doubts on both counts. |

1st May 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Broadly similar efforts in a trio of 1m maidens on synthetics last backend, and remains to be seen whether the RPR of 90 for last week's 5l sixth of six in a slowly run Blue Riband Trial (good) flatters him; winning exploits of one half-sibling at 1m4f and beyond offer encouragement. |

10st 0lb |
Signed off for Ralph Beckett in good form on AW in autumn 2024 but, following a long absence, he was well held this summer in his two runs for new connections; some ability remains but he's best watched for now. |

Signed off for Ralph Beckett in good form in autumn 2024 but, following a long absence, was last of four on last month's stable debut (1m4f, turf); might need a few more runs before he's of interest again. |

Won a Southwell handicap (1m4f; visor first time) and was placed seven times for Ralph Beckett in 2024; subsequently sold for 42,000gns in October 2024, but hasn't run since; no easy task after a long break. |

9st 8lb |
Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning a Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps, however; standout Flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago off 3lb higher; didn't appear to stay the extended 2m trip at Galway on his return to this discipline last time; opposable. |

Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps however, latest at same venue last month; standout flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago (Cock And Bull third); noteworthy jockey booking for flat return. |

Won his maiden hurdle here in September (15.5f, gd-yld); creditable run when second in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in November; disappointed both starts since, including when beaten 30l at Punchestown on return from break in April; sharper for that and tongue-tie goes on now. |

Seventh start when off the mark in handicap at Newcastle (upped to 2m, Tapeta) early this month but a heavy defeat at Kempton 13 days ago continued his inconsistent record in handicaps. |

7th 8 (7) |
16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Good effort here (1m4f) on second start but he ran poorly on a subsequent course start; very mixed in turf handicaps since but the step up to 2m on Tapeta debut at Newcastle recently saw his staying qualities come to the fore; back up 3lb but a major player if holding his form. |

Second in four of eight starts for Karl Burke but he's beaten a long way on all four runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he's now 0-12 and has lots to prove; blinkers reapplied. |

Low-mileage 4yo; just edged out by Plage De Havre on his C&D reappearance but promoted to first after suffering interference; that rival bolted up at Newcastle next time so a short-priced defeat for this one at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago probably shouldn't be taken to suggest that the handicapper has got him. |
