23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-8; second of 10 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July but below that level since, including when third of four over 1m2f here five weeks ago; the first-time visor needs to spark him back up. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden; posted best form when close second in Class 4 Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good) in July and has good claims if judged on that performance but dropped out as though something was amiss at Windsor last month; cheekpieces removed after one use; AW debut. |
5/1 |
|
11th 10 (2) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
No wins in six but a three-time runner-up and only narrowly missed out last time at Doncaster (1m2f, good); 2lb higher here but cheekpieces might give her a lift. |

prominent early, steadied and in touch with leaders after 2f, switched left and challenging over 2f out, led over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, kept on final 110yds |

24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
120,000euros breeze-up purchase in May; promising third in Ffos Las maiden (7.4f, soft) seven weeks ago; leading player provided he stays this longer trip (mixed messages in pedigree). |

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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 4yo; 5-6 over 7f but showed he's just as effective at 1m when making Urban Lion pull out all the stops in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) three weeks ago; 1lb better off for a nose defeat and there should be little between the pair again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 7f here in September (good to soft) and October (soft) to complete a four-timer; all of those wins came by less than 1l, suggesting he's a type who only just does enough, and there may be more left in the tank; worth another crack at 1m and could be in the mix if seeing it out. |
10/1 |
|
9 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Led towards the finish in competitive field at the Doncaster St Leger meeting (good to soft) last time, completing a hat-trick and taking record over 7f to 4-5; could well continue to progress over this distance; strong contender. |

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. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 3yo who ran creditably at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Derby day most recently, taking form figures to 11233 while shaping as if this drop back in distance will prove ideal; seems versatile as regards ground; 1-1 over 1m1f and holds solid claims. |
11/4 |

2 (5) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Two from two in novice events last term (one on soft) and creditable placed efforts in 1m2f/1m handicaps on both starts this season; may still do better but the return to this trip isn't guaranteed to help as settling him is still something of an issue. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (8) |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 9lb |
Musselburgh maiden winner (1m4f, good to soft) who was third in a hot running of the Listed Cheshire Oaks in May (11.3f, good); well beaten in Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but failed to settle and, in view of the penultimate form, is not ruled out now back down in grade. |
12/1 |
|
1 (1) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second to Lady Vivian in Southwell maiden (1m4f, AW) in March on third start then easily won Musselburgh maiden (12.4f, good to soft); improved again when third in Listed Cheshire Oaks (11.3f, good); mixed messages from that form with Minnie Hauk following up in the Oaks but the runner-up being unplaced in French Group 3; this stiffer stamina test can suit; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
7th May 2025 Good 1m 3f 75y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
towards rear but in touch with leaders, ridden and headway 1f out, stayed on and went third inside final furlong |
