23rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy) last October and his staying-on fifth in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft) suggested he could be a fine middle-distance prospect; better could have been expected in the Derby (1m4f, good to firm), when only ninth, but not every horse takes to Epsom and he retains potential; won on fast ground last summer; not written off. |

9th 6 (5) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Novice winner on good to firm; lost nothing in defeat when second of four to The Foxes in a muddling Group 2 at Newmarket and he was so game when beating Arrest in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud in October (1m2f, heavy); reappeared with a respectable fifth in the 2,000 Guineas and while the recent dry spell has not helped his chance, his fighting spirit could still see him thereabouts. |
18/1 |

5th 4 (6) |
6th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive as 2yo, usually front-running; close second of four in the Group 2 Royal Lodge over C&D (good) on penultimate start and, after others had gone past him over 4f out, he rallied his way to a narrow Group 1 win at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy) in October; needs further improvement and the drop back in trip has to be a worry. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won handicap at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby day and good second from the front in Group 3 at Goodwood (good to firm) three weeks ago, both 1m4f; third in 1m6f Listed race at York in between might suggest limitations for today's task but trying to come from off a steady pace will have counted against him, so he's not fully exposed. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Better than ever when readily winning competitive handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) on Derby day; not seen to best effect in steadily run Listed race at York last time and could have the same problem today, while there's a question as to whether he's fully effective on fast ground; however, this progressive 4yo could yet have more to offer and is not ruled out. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Going the right way, and a handicap win at Doncaster (1m2f) last month was a career best; however, he's up significantly in grade here and will need another jolt of improvement to follow up; the Doncaster run was his first encounter with soft ground, so the more rain that falls, the better. |

1st 7 (8) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Scored by wide margin here (1m Class 4) in May; creditable second off this 9lb higher mark on two occasions since, latest at Newbury (good to soft) upped to 1m2f; could go well again. |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner on quick ground in August 2024; only flashes of his best form last year; best run was over 7f at Dundalk; poor run there on final outing before a break. |
14/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Second reserve; nearly took advantage of a drop in grade when second over C&D last month; big chance if he gets in. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to get his head in front but he turned in his best effort of 2024 when sixth of 11 in 1m4f Lingfield classified event 11 days ago; possibilities with his stamina drawn out more. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
4th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; bits of turf form last season give him a shout at this level but he's been well beaten at Bath in his two runs this spring; enough to prove. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressive maiden who started favourite when a close third to Asense and Uther Pendragon over C&D last autumn; didn't offer much on his recent comeback here, when well behind two of tonight's rivals. |
