8th 6 (4) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in soft-ground St Leger; otherwise a largely progressive sort at up to 1m6f; has dropped back to 1m4f this season, getting up on the line at Newbury (Group 3) then respectable third at Royal Ascot (Group 2) where a stronger pace would have suited; remains of interest, with this race likely to pan out favourably. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 (8) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August and bounced back from soft-ground St Leger flop for Listed win here (1m6f, good) last October; returned with win in Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month, when clear with one who readily went one better in Listed race next time; this 4yo is firmly on the up for his top yard; player. |

1st 7 (5) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the highly competitive Melrose Handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m6f, good to firm); well behind Desert Hero in the St Leger next time (only time he's tackled soft ground) but resumed his progression with success in a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good) on his final 3yo start; everything about his profile points to him doing even better at four. |

6th Oct 2023 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Narrowly beat Naqeeb in Newmarket novice (1m4f, good to soft) in July and followed up in the competitive Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm) in August; merely seventh in the St Leger three weeks ago (1m6f, soft; one place behind Chesspiece) but retains potential now back down in grade and could play a leading role if Doncaster hasn't left a mark. |
9/4 |
