31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Pacemaker for Field Of Gold in two Group 1 races this season; took advantage of drop back in class for Listed event at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last time, prevailing narrowly in a sustained battle with the runner-up who made the running; still unexposed beyond 1m and may rate higher still. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive last term and ran creditably when favourite for the Classic Trial over C&D on reappearance; comfortably held in Group 1 races won by Field Of Gold since; faces a much easier task back down sharply in class and taking on his elders; respected. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two minor honours in Group races, including second at Sandown (1m2f) on seasonal debut; however, dropped away in the closing stages of the Irish 2,000 Guineas and ended up behind three of today's rivals; the cheekpieces worn that day are retained; needs major improvement. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on first three 2yo starts (7f/1m, good to firm/good to soft) before easily making all in 7f AW novice; off since, with gelding/wind ops in the meantime; it's a hefty absence to defy but he has potential off his opening mark if retaining his ability; the betting will be interesting. |

1st 6 (6) |
8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in all three starts, showing strong form when second in the Convivial maiden at York's Ebor meeting (7f, good to firm) on second occasion; beaten at odds-on back at York last month (1m, good to soft) but the winner has franked the form and underfoot conditions may not have been ideal; strong claims back at 7f; AW debut. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden who has been performing respectably in 1m handicaps this winter without strongly suggesting his turn is near; today's longer trip needs to help him pull out a bit more. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Finished behind a couple of today's rivals at Newcastle last time, but shaped as if he's still in reasonably good form; however, still needs to show he has what it takes to win (record is 0-14). |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 (12) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 but he's on a reduced mark and was an eyecatching third behind Trais Fluors over C&D four weeks ago; that was only his fourth run on AW and has possibilities if he can back that up. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; bits of form last summer that bring him into the reckoning and he kicks off his 4yo campaign with a tongue tie fitted; betting useful back from 236 days off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Remains winless but he's proving a reliable sort and comes here on the back of a good fourth of eight in 1m2f handicap at Haydock 24 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden but he posted a solid effort when third of 11 in a higher grade than this at Ripon (1m2f, good) ten days ago; can make his presence felt if staying this longer trip (unraced beyond 1m3f). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 12 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-11; hasn't built on his early promise when third on his debut here in August 2024; his mark continues to drop but he doesn't appeal. |
16/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
11-race maiden; ran well at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last October before a lesser effort on the AW at Southwell (1m3f) one month later; one of three runners for Tim Easterby. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Thirsk in April and short-headed for third by Rajapour there 11 days ago, both over 1m; runner-up twice over C&D last season, she has to be considered each-way. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a shade cosily over C&D (good) in April and may not have been best positioned on the flank when fifth of 12 behind Hale End at Wetherby (favourite) later in the month; worth another chance but this is competitive. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Stepped up on her seasonal return when justifying favouritism in a 1m handicap at Thirsk 16 days ago (good ground); well backed on that occasion and a 3lb higher mark may not be beyond her. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran away with a Class 6 handicap at Southwell last October (1m6f) off a 10lb lower mark; two runner-up finishes at Southwell last month (after a 166-day absence) and he seemed fully effective on turf last year; one to take seriously. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 152, all over 1m6f here, since a gelding operation; routed eight rivals then proved bitterly disappointing 15 days later; back from over five months off with fine second a fortnight ago (pair clear; PB); major player if putting best foot forward. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Showed the benefit of a gelding operation when winning a C&D handicap by 9l in October but he was raised 8lb and was well held on his next start; needs to bounce back following a 166-day break. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in novice events but he was a market springer on his handicap debut at Redcar in April (1m2f, good; blinkered first time); dropped away having over-raced on that occasion and he left Kevin Ryan afterwards; never dangerous on stable debut at Pontefract two weeks ago; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

13 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Modest form so far and was a long way from justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) on final start for Kevin Ryan; this trip should suit better; new aids replace first-time blinkers. |

0-7; beaten 3l when third of four at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April but he failed to build on that back on turf at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) 63 days ago; better needed. |
