4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
40-1 fifth of ten in the Irish Derby (1m4f, good) in June, front rank long way; it's a concern that his rating that day is well in advance of his others, and also that he was beaten so far in the storm at Glorious Goodwood on latest outing, but he needs a second look with tongue tied first time. |
8/1 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Belied his 40-1 odds with an apparently good fifth in the Irish Derby and new rating gives him a leading chance in this field; however, may be flattered by that result; no match for unbeaten stablemate Amiloc in Listed grade at Goodwood (1m3f) the time before; not entirely solid. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good and heavy ground; won off 2lb lower over C&D for Charlie Johnston last autumn and he ran well over hurdles last month, on his second run for current yard; seems tactically versatile and he's in the mix off a workable mark back on the Flat. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn (sold for 165,000gns soon after); 9-2, weakened to finish a well-held sixth of ten in Ascot juvenile (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in January; should be capable of a lot better in this sphere. |
2/1 |

6th 8 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Not far off useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn; changed hands for 165,000gns in October; likely to be suited by longer distances in due course but he commands respect on his hurdling debut even so. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Prevailed in second-time hood at Taunton (2m, good) most recently, adding to his Flat win, and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; in deeper waters today but could go well. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won a Goodwood maiden for Andrew Balding in June (1m6f, good to firm); improved on first hurdles run when neck second over C&D last time (heavy; hood tried); headgear retained; this faster is ground likely to suit; one with a chance. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Useful peak RPR of 94 on the Flat for Andrew Balding; ran to a fair level when last of three finishers on Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) eight weeks ago and should prove capable of better, particularly if a first-time hood helps him to settle better through the early stages than he did on that occasion. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return. |
5/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Eight races; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l without any problems at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; second of six to Blazeon Fine at Ascot (2m, good to soft) and another good effort at Newmarket (good) one week later considering it was a hot race over 1m4f; not proven on soft but back up in trip and may still have improvement in him. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Down in the weights and down in grade but yet to win and needs to raise game if he's to win on second AW start. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Finished nearly 10l behind Stem when second of six in the novice on this card (7f, heavy) last year and hasn't fared any better in the meantime; opposed. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-race maiden; ran with some promise in first-time blinkers over 1m most recently, while shaping as if this step back up in trip is worth exploring; interesting in the retained headgear. |

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 |

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. |

28th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Triple-figure prices for both starts, over 7f and 1m2f, always behind on debut then tailed off at Pontefract three weeks ago; should stay at least this far on pedigree but unlikely to be a factor until handicapping. |
