10th 15 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to win for new connections but he has run stormers here (7f/1m, both good ground) on his last two starts, bumping into a handicap blot on the first occasion and going down by just a neck two weeks ago; slow starts are a problem though and he will need things to go his way; cheekpieces now join the tongue tie. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 (15) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Rather quirky sort who has become a slow-starter and is 0-12 since a successful debut at the 2024 York Dante meeting but is threatening to double his tally; met traffic issues on his way to a very notable effort at this venue (7f, good) most recently, beating all bar a handicap snip who remains unbeaten and looks a Group performer in the making; shaped as if this second attempt over 1m is well worth exploring; highly respected. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 18 (14) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Hints of promise when slowly away on last two starts, and he might not be a forlorn hope each-way if breaking on terms; however, he's 0-11 since winning on debut here in May 2024 and others are less risky. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Listed winner who has Group form; shaped well, amid traffic issues, at Glorious Goodwood (7f; handicap debut) most recently; return to 1m is worth exploring; possibilities. |
13/2 |
|
5th 3 (13) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Unraced on going softer than good; Listed winner as a 2yo and, dropped back from Classic level, ran respectably in the Jersey Stakes (7f Group 3; fared best of the near-side group) at Royal Ascot most recently; that latest effort has received several boosts since; clear possibilities on handicap debut, provided the cards drop right (usually held up in rear). |
11/2 |
|
5th 14 (8) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Gained Listed win at Newbury (6f, good) last summer on final 2yo run and excelled himself when eighth in last month's 2,000 Guineas (66-1) despite being hampered at the start; needs another step forward and he was well held in the Coventry here 12 months ago, but he may not be fully exposed. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Fitted with blinkers for the first time when making all in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in April; he has followed that with three solid placed efforts in Irish sprint handicaps; ran well in his one run on good to firm ground (as a 2yo); should give his running but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
AW maiden winner (6f); in fine form since joining this yard; denied by a short head by Red Evolution on first try at 5f at Cork latest; obvious chance from good draw off the same mark. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well when under 5l fourth of 11 in novice at York (6f, good; 15-2) four weeks ago, beaten off only inside the final 1f; that was a promising start and he looks likely to improve; one for the shortlist. |

70,000euros foal, 55,000gns yearling; seventh foal; Dandy Man brother to 6f/1m 2yo winner La Pelosa (including Canadian Grade 1), half-brother to 5f 2yo winner Melayu Kingdom (RPR 88); makes debut with yard in fine form (including with 2yos); Oisin Murphy booked and no surprise to see a big run. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in his last four starts including twice on Tapeta (6f/7f); drop to 5f shouldn't be an issue on breeding, but he is starting to look exposed. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |

Ordinary form when reaching the frame in 6f/7f AW novices on return this autumn but good chance if bouncing back to anywhere near the level he achieved in two turf novices early last summer. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Beaten favourite in a 6f York novice on sole start at two; workmanlike display to win a 5f maiden at Navan in May; in rear in a Listed race at the Curragh last month; this may be more like his level. |
13/2 |
|
11 (5) |
29th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Cost E2.2m as a yearling; beaten favourite in a 6f York novice on sole start a year ago; now has something to build on following a workmanlike display to win a 5f maiden at Navan in May; bare form is questionable but the extra furlong should help. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
17th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Cost a whopping 2.2million euros as a yearling; a beaten favourite in a 6f York novice on sole start a year ago; likely capable of better and the market can reveal more about expectations. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Just one win to his name but runner-up in a big field at the Dante meeting here and again found only one too good at Southwell in September; however, both those runs were over 5f, he hasn't looked as effective at this trip and he never looked like getting involved over 5f here on Friday. |
25/1 |
|
8 (1) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a cracker to finish second of 22 in a hot 3yo C&D handicap at the Dante meeting; unable to build on that since but he returned to form when second at Southwell 17 days ago; that was a drop in class and a 2lb rise back up in grade could find him out. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Started the campaign in good form, notably when second of 22 at the Dante meeting at York (5f, good to firm); his progress has stalled more recently though and hopes rest on the drop into Class 4 company perking him up. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both of his wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Bath (5.7f, heavy) in October; went from the front when beaten a neck at Newcastle (5f, AW) 20 days ago and won't have an issue with the return to this trip. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Unplaced in all eight starts (6f-1m) and his promising fifth at Newcastle (6f; November) hasn't been built on in three runs since; enough to prove back at a mile. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f; inconsistent since sole win; his chance of taking advantage of a reduced mark partly depends on the effects of this return to 7f; record over this trip isn't fully conclusive. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In fine form last spring, winning three times including over C&D; cheekpieces returned at Goodwood last month and he recorded a narrow soft-ground success; 2lb rise shouldn't handicap him out of things and faster ground should be beneficial. |
14/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had bad luck in running over C&D during an otherwise successful spell around this time last year; inconsistent since but has possibilities off current mark with cheekpieces given another spin. |
