5th 3 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, latterly in taking style from off the pace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when wearing headgear first time; gelded and back to that sort of form when third of six in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) 15 days ago, albeit not getting to grips with the leaders; no headgear that day (he has also tried a visor) but he's now fitted with first-time cheekpieces; bit to find if others are on their game. |

3rd 3 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, latterly in taking style from off the pace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when blinkered first time; slowly away on both subsequent starts, looking as if he was stretched by 2m in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup on first occasion (creditable) but tailed-off second favourite in the Ebor last time (visored; raced wide and made most); back to 1m4f, with headgear removed and needs overall improvement but the gelding operation may have helped. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won 1m6f handicaps this term at Goodwood (good) and Royal Ascot (good to firm), in the latter blinkered first time and passing 11 of 15 rivals in the last 2f for a clearcut success, for which he's 8lb higher today; slow-starting fifth of eight in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup but that was creditable, particularly as it looked as if he was stretched by 2m; resumption of progress from this lightly raced 4yo in first-time visor may be possible. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Overcame trouble in running to snatch a handicap here (1m6f, good) in May; blinkered first time when continuing his relentless rise in a handicap at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm), passing 11 of his 15 rivals in the last 2f for a clearcut success; style of his wins offers clear scope for better still over 2m and, although further improvement is needed, it will be no shock if this lightly raced 4yo can mix it at this level today or very soon. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made it three wins from his five starts when upped in trip and scoring by a neck at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last month; ran in snatches and was denied a clear run, and he deserves extra credit for that win; could have more to offer now in blinkers and he's firmly in calculations up 4lb. |
