3rd 4 (3) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won three of his first four races before a staying-on sixth of 16 in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) preceded a cracking effort when close third of 18 in the French Derby (10.5f, good to soft) in June; that step up in trip looked to suit but he flopped at Royal Ascot and didn't finish it off when only fifth of seven in Haydock Group 3 seven weeks ago; drops back to 1m with a question to answer. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (8) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Staying-on sixth of 16 in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (1m, good) in May and suited by the step up in trip when close third of 18 in the Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June, both of them French Classic races; the big problem is his flop at Royal Ascot (1m2f Group 3, good to firm) but he's one to take very seriously if that can be forgiven. |

Staying-on sixth of 16 in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains (1m, good; unraced on faster) last month and suited by the step up in trip when close third of 18 in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club 18 days ago (10.5f, good to soft; Trinity College a head further back in fourth); leading form claims. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice at two and had deep-ground form; quite an eyecatcher on his comeback in Haydock's Silver Bowl but failed to make an impression in the Britannia and a similar story behind Rhoscolyn at Goodwood (soft); now on a recovery mission. |
20/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two wins in last season's 2yo campaign; reappeared with close third in the Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m) in May, a race that hasn't really worked out; ran okay when 11th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); versatile ground-wise; improvement is possible but necessary in this hot race. |
25/1 |

11th 6 (6) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has handled good to firm and the mud; consistent last season until his heavy defeat in a Group 3; usually races prominently but had to be dropped in from a bad draw in the Silver Bowl at Haydock, so all things considered he did well to finish only a length off Teroomm; enters calculations with a talented claimer secured. |

Placed in two Kempton novices (7f, Polytrack) in August; held on turf in both starts since, albeit with the latest in a Class 2 nursery at York (1m, soft); off three months (gelded) and he's a player in this company. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Cost 1,250,000euros as a yearling; his stable has won the last four renewals of this race and the horse (stablemate of Stanhope Gardens) this colt beat with relative comfort at Haydock (1m, good to soft) won by 8l this week; impressed with the way he picked up from off the pace last time and he's clearly a smart prospect. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Nursery winner at two but a sharp improver this season with two wins including one over C&D; needed a stronger pace when his hat-trick bid came up shy and the drop back to 6f found him when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) at the Shergar Cup; remains of interest off this sort of mark. |
16/1 |
|
9 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 3yo; made a winning seasonal return in a C&D handicap in May (strong form) and followed up over 7f at Doncaster; came up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Newmarket four weeks ago (7f, good to firm) but that race was slowly run early and he turned in another rock-solid effort (the third has won two major handicaps since); now 5lb higher but it's unlikely he's reached his ceiling and new cheekpieces could help too; big chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in a couple of Class 4 events under Kieran Shoemark this term, latest at Doncaster (7f, good), taking record in turf handicaps to 1311; upped in grade but could well improve further; highly respected. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
14-race maiden but he's returned from a break with two placed efforts in 1m4f handicaps (AW) this spring; on same mark at for his third at Lingfield last time and he's a big player if he responds well to first-time cheekpieces. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Still seeking his first win after 13 attempts but he has finished second on three occasions, including at Wolverhampton on his seasonal return three weeks ago (1m4f; hooded first time); that was a costly reverse for those that backed him into 11-10f but he didn't do a great deal wrong and the subsequent wins of the first and third give the form some ballast; major player with the hood now discarded. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to score but has posted some solid efforts since June, including when second over C&D in September; raced freely when disappointing at Southwell the following month but the added hood might help and Oisin Murphy's booking suggests he's ready for this return. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Can front run; made all at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; flag start) in July before another good effort when second of four at Ffos Las (2m, good); needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Chester (1m6f, good) 18 days ago; blinkers applied. |
6/5 |

6 (4) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces on recent outings and got off the mark with front-running success at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; front pair well clear) in July, on ninth start; beaten at short odds over 2m since but still ran well, and remains one to be interested in. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on softer than good; emphatic wins in his first three handicaps, here on second occasion; the winning sequence ended on latest outing but he was a close second that day to the subsequent Melrose winner; has a fair bit to find on form but this 3yo should be open to further progress and he's a dark horse venturing beyond 14.5f for the first time. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Has been a textbook Prescott improver switched to handicaps this term, posting three emphatic wins, latest over C&D (good to firm); could well defy another big rise in the weights and complete the four-timer. |
7/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four 2yo runs at up to 8.5f barely scratched the surface of his potential and he ran out the comfortable winner of two handicaps last month, 1m4f at Ripon and an extended 1m6f at Doncaster last week; 10lb higher this time but still 2lb well in and he has more to offer as a stayer. |

Form comprises modest efforts over 7f at novice level and a non-staying performance in 1m2f AW nursery; combination of switch to 1m and first-time headgear may do the trick. |

7th 6 (8) |
10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Well held in three 7f novice events, but he's a brother to a fairly useful 1m2f AW winner and could show a lot more now switched to a nursery at this new trip; needs watching in market. |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Down the field on all three starts (7f) but makes handicap debut off a modest mark and there's potential in his pedigree, with his breeding suggesting he may be suited by today's step up in trip. |

Improved for the switch to nurseries for Ed Walker last autumn, winning at Yarmouth before a near miss at Southwell (both 1m); back down in class today but his two runs for this yard have seen him well beaten; tongue-tie and cheekpieces make their debut. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Handicap debut (1m, good to soft) as 2yo was his only win from seven starts for Ed Walker, also beaten a nose on next start; ran as though something was amiss in January and faded out of it when starting off for new yard in February, performances which he needs to leave well behind him. |

Ordinary Flat form in Britain and three quiet runs in maidens before much-improved on handicap debut (following wind surgery and with first-time tongue-tie) at Cork early this month when a 40-1 shot, hitting last but winning going away over 2m (yielding); 10lb rise for that but could go well. |
