28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (1m-1m2f, soft/good to soft) from his first four starts, including two Listed races; his progress has stalled on good going on his two starts since but one was the Group 1 Champion Stakes and the other was last month's reappearance (here); it's too soon to label him a slow-ground specialist and he's not written off in view of his abundant earlier promise. |

3rd 1 (1) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record is 3-5; has gained all wins, including two Listed races, in his starts on softer than good but may yet show that he's fully effective on faster ground; drops back in class having been comfortably held in the Champion Stakes; top on the figures and he was progressive before that latest start. |

3rd 5 (10) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m2f Nottingham maiden last June; on the premises in all his three handicaps, closest last time when he came from the back at Haydock (1m6f, good) but to not quite such good effect in the end as Valiancy who made the same move on the other side of the track; gelded since and hooded first time for this reappearance; up 4lb but looks a serious contender. |
4/1 |
|
8 (10) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won Nottingham maiden (1m2f, good) in June on fourth start and has run well in fourth in both handicaps subsequently, most recently at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft) where he kept on well after being hampered early in the straight; interesting contender now tackling 1m6f. |
10/1 |
|
7 (6) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three seconds (one on soft) before he justified 4-5 favouritism in a muddling maiden at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on reappearance; 10-11 for handicap debut at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) but never looked like getting to the principals in finishing a creditable fourth of nine behind Londoner; probably more to offer and it looks like this extra 1f will help. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who enjoyed a solid start to the season and is 3lb lower than when runner-up at Ayr in July; however, three lesser runs have followed and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a course novice (7f, soft; only success) last November; made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on first five starts this term; down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood then finished last despite attracting good support at Haydock (1m, good) 18 days ago; question to answer after that. |
5/1 |
|
7 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on his first five starts this season before finishing down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood (wore cheekpieces; left off today); back in calmer waters here and no surprise if he returns to form. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender. |
6/4 |

5 (2) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Some decent runs in defeat when trained in UK; got off the mark on debut for this yard when winning a 1m4f Roscommon maiden; the third that day has since won a maiden; handled soft on debut and is one to consider. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 1m2f last season; unplaced twice this year but dropped 4lb for his troubles and this represents an ease in grade; stamina for 1m5f not assured. |
3/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Went up the weights having won three times last year, including C&D (good to firm) in May; unplaced on final start last term and same story on recent reappearance, but he may have needed that latest run and is not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (9) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who won on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last May and scored twice in a row at Pontefract (1m2f good/good to firm) last summer; unplaced on final run last year and has to prove his current mark is within range, but he might be the type to continue to progress this season. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
swerved right start, soon pressed leaders, hung right and hampered rival over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong, just held third |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
12th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Son of Arc winner Sottsass; made a pleasing debut when 6l third of 12 at Bath (1m, heavy; 11-1) 11 days ago, beaten by a pair with experience; likely to progress and has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
52,000gns yearling; Sottsass half-brother to four winners, notably Brutal (1m 2yo/2m hurdle); dam 1m winner, closely related to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Drumfire; major stable; this newcomer is one for the shortlist. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark over C&D last time when having second AW attempt; has gone back up 4lb; unexposed on Tapeta so should go well again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (3) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Threatened at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been well below that form in four runs since; record is now 0-10. |
