21st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Created a positive impression when winning at Pontefract on debut in August (6f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level when trying to concede weight to two useful sorts at Chester later that month; sets the standard and there should be more in the tank; AW debut. |

Fifth foal; half-brother to winners Romantic Warrior (6f-1m2f including multiple Group/Grade 1s), Melodic Charm (6f AW including 2yo; 93) and Pennywhistle (7f 2yo; 93); this Showcasing gelding is with a top trainer (also runs Hamilton third Our Mighty Mo) and could play a leading role on debut. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when coming from off the pace to collect at Southwell (1m); was aided by a collapsing pace but he looks progressive; just 3lb higher. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (11) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Took his AW record (all over 7f) to 311 with Kempton win last time and that form has worked out well; likely to be as effective back at 1m and show further progress in this sphere; major contender. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Justified favouritism in a Southwell novice (7f, Tapeta) in December but he's struggled in two turf handicaps (1m) this spring; still lightly raced and now returns to AW but he needs to get his career back on track. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C&D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Rare run at shy of 1m when not far behind three of these over C&D last month; generally consistent but has only won once and didn't build on that back on turf last time. |
12/1 |

8th 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was at Ripon (1m, good) last April but he's run plenty of good races since; last week's fifth of 14 at Newcastle (7f) was another respectable effort but he remains 2lb above the mark he defied at Ripon. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last three outings, all on good to firm; won a 1m4f Thirsk handicap on first occasion and he's 23lb higher today thanks mostly to his staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot; failed to confirm that improvement in 1m5f Newmarket Group 3 on latest start, admittedly not disgraced but that makes others look a bit more solid today. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Wore cheekpieces the last twice, winning a Thirsk handicap (1m4f) then appearing to improve markedly with staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Queen's Vase when upped further in trip; latter effort ties him in with a few of today's rivals; may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Contested three handicaps this spring off marks in the high 70s, winning when upped to 1m4f in added cheekpieces last time (good to firm); while 1m6f looks plausible, it's hard to see him being anything like good enough. |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Nicely bred and cost 425,000gns as a yearling but has performed well below expectations in two runs; the way things are looking, he may find better opportunities in handicaps shortly. |

Beaten 5l on debut when sent off the favourite at Southwell (7f, AW) last October; tongue-tie now fitted for his reappearance, for which he is up in trip; top yard is among the winners this week; no surprise to see an improved effort. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie. |

5th 3 (3) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

In need of the experience on his Chelmsford debut (7f) but he showed much more when third of 12 at Wolverhampton two weeks ago when a tongue-tie was tried; can progress further but he will need to pull out more. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all to win a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton for Jamie Osborne last September; unplaced in two hurdle runs for this yard but he didn't run badly returned to the Flat at Goodwood 19 days ago (1m6f, good); down in class today and should have a big run in him. |

1m6f AW winner for Jamie Osborne but returns to this scene after two heavy defeats over hurdles, the latest after a wind operation; has a bit to prove off this mark even if he's back on song. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Turned over three times as favourite since handicapping, looking to have no excuses at Haydock before pulling hard over 1m6f when last seen two months ago; pedigree gives hope on the ground front, coming right back in trip in first-time headgear. |

27th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Typical Prescott 3yo who has improved for the step up in trip and handicaps (also a gelding operation) this season; improved on his handicap debut over 1m2f when 1.75l second of seven at Haydock last time (1m3.5f, good to firm); could progress again over 1m6f and he's a key player. |
