21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Perhaps hasn't hit the heights his novice form threatened but he's still a smart performer and he acquitted himself with great credit in the Stewards' Cup seven weeks ago on his first crack at sprinting; travelled strongly on that occasion but just lacked a change of gear at a crucial stage and this track may prove a better fit; contender. |

4th 9 (24) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Looked hot property when running away with a York novice last May (1m, good to firm) and pitched into the St James's Palace Stakes on the back of it (creditable sixth); has some solid 7f handicap form this season, including a fourth at Royal Ascot (still second with 100 yards to go); suffered a blip in the Bunbury Cup last time and now drops to 6f; not the most solid of options. |
16/1 |

Raced mainly on good/firmer; respectable fourth in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot most recently, albeit having a better trip than some of his rivals; has not won for 14 months. |

Dual Newmarket winner, a 1m2f maiden and 1m4f handicap (off 3lb lower); has been a bit all or nothing but returns as a 4yo now gelded and remains in his top yard; ran well on his previous AW start; dangerous. |

2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Late foal, brother to dual 1m4f Group 1 winner Sea Of Class; gelded after running twice on AW as 2yo; returned with an improved show when well on top in eight-runner maiden at Chester (10.3f, soft) in May, close up racing a bit freely before going on over 2f out; still learning the job that day and brings considerable potential if he's more the finished article this time, over a trip he's bred to relish. |

240,000gns yearling and brother to dual Group 1 winner Sea Of Class; left debut effort behind to finish fourth of 14 over 1m at Kempton (1m AW; beaten under 6l) and that despite racing freely; gelded since and could yet be quite smart. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has raced only four times on turf, with a soft-ground win on first occasion but lesser shows since, already dropping out when he was hampered in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last time (50-1; pulled up); reliable and progressive on AW, surging to new heights with his two handicap wins (1m6f/2m) this March/April, but he's now 8lb higher than for latest win. |
12/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has raced only three times on turf, with a soft-ground win on first occasion but lesser shows since, including at this meeting on good ground two years ago; on the other hand he's been reliable and progressive on AW, surging to new heights with his two handicap wins this March/April; latest was for a big prize at Newcastle (2m) and he did it in good style, so he's not miles away on ratings today but still has a lot to prove. |

Ran big race in defeat on seasonal debut at Bath (1m, soft) in May but was not seen to quite the same effect on good ground the last twice and conditions are likely to be even quicker today. |

All six wins in Britain came on the AW; first success on turf came last month over this trip at Ballinrobe, quickening off a slow pace, despite racing keenly; 6lb rise but remains on a workable mark. |

All six wins came on the AW when trained in Britain; standout run for this yard came on opening day of season when runner-up in 26-runner Curragh handicap (heavy), most recently didn't seem to get home over this trip at Gowran last month (soft); stamina concerns remain. |

9st 0lb |
1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |
9/1 |

11th 5 (1) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten 11l when fifth in a maiden hurdle at Hereford three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for his win at Chepstow (1m4f, good) last May but will likely find this trip on the sharp side on his switch back to the Flat (all wins over 1m2f or further). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

8st 13lb |
Gelded after three quiet runs in novice events and was only 4-1 for his handicap debut at Goodwood in May when the ground was heavy (tailed off); better was presumably expected of him and interesting to see if his backers return. |

6th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |

1st Jul 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Well-backed favourite when a fair fifth in a Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good to soft) on his stable debut in May but he hung badly left throughout when tailed off at Bath last time; that took his record to 0-7 and has plenty to prove again after that; tongue-tie back on. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Successful six times during a spell as a classic Prescott improver; limitations somewhat exposed in Class 2 events (including two major handicaps) subsequently; a possible danger back down in grade. |

His march through the staying ranks included going mighty close in the Cesarewitch (2m2f) last October and winning at Goodwood (2m) last month; perhaps good to firm ground helps to explain a lesser show at Royal Ascot (2m4f) 11 days ago; acts on Tapeta but drawn widest and needs to resume progress. |

Came up well short in AW novice events, then had gelding operation; has looked better in turf handicaps (over 1m) the last twice, finishing second at Chepstow (behind a subsequent scorer) then third at Bath; solid claims in this ordinary maiden race. |

Half-brother to four winners and he's out of German 7f Listed winner; well held at biggish prices in three AW novice events (7f/1m) during the winter but he's been gelded since and could show a lot more now switched to a handicap on his return; needs a close look. |
