30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Sea The Stars colt; merely workmanlike when odds-on winner of 1m Kempton AW novice on second start last autumn; justified strong home reputation when powering clear in a 1m2f conditions race at Leicester; had an unusual profile for this race, having never run in a stakes race, but can be rated a serious contender nonetheless. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 3-4 this season for new stable includes two wins in major handicaps; took his form to an even higher level with impressive performance in a conditions race at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) on last appearance; one of two Andrew Balding-trained runners who are going into deeper waters but may be capable of further improvement. |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won in style at Newmarket (1m1f) in May, first home in the centre group in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m) in June and tidy winner of the valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f) three weeks ago; more to prove on ground softer than good, which he tried four times in previous seasons; going great guns but needs markedly better form to upstage all of today's rivals. |

8 (19) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 1m2f for Sir Michael Stoute and scored in style on his stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; first home in the centre group when sixth of 30 in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; interesting contender for connections who won this in 2019 and 2021. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Represents major connections; showed improvement at Sandown (1m2f; handicap debut) two weeks ago, rallying towards the finish having been headed under 2f out; clear possibilities off same mark dropped in grade, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

Has failed to build on his 2yo effort in two outings this season; however, may be capable of progress now qualified for handicaps; represents major stable and can't be written off. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Only fourth of nine at York (1m4f, good) in July last time but prior to that he was beaten just a neck by Stressfree when making the running here (1m4f, good) in May; effective on soft/good to soft; remains lightly raced and is not written off now back here. |

4th 2 (6) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Effective on good to soft and good; record of 2-7 and better than ever when putting the pace to the race and just missing out at Haydock two months ago (1m4f); solid contender here off 3lb higher. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 13 (10) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
All turf starts have been on softer than good; won a Southwell novice last July, followed up in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) and good third of 15 off this mark in valuable 1m4f race at Newmarket; he failed to live up to favouritism at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on reappearance but wasn't disgraced and, after just six races, may still do better. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Safely held in two maidens and a novice, absent ten months before his two 1m2f runs this season; showed ability but more is seemingly needed if he's to live up to this opening handicap mark; all runs have been on softer than good; blinkers enlisted. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden who has inconsistent form, modest fifth over 1m6f here most recently; chance partly depends on how well she responds to first-time cheekpieces. |

9st 5lb |
Well beaten in two turf runs in the summer; no match for three rivals with BHA marks of 95, 82 and 78 at Chelmsford last month (1m2f) but it was a better effort and she moves into handicaps with the potential for further progress; bred to be considerably better than this level. |

8st 13lb |
First foal; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 73), closely related to outstanding miler Palace Pier, half-sister to 1m5f Group 3 winner Castle Way; has good standard to reach on debut but it will be interesting to see how she fares. |
