19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-21 but regularly running to an RPR in the 70s over the winter; form has dipped more recently but he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and could have a big run in him from the inside stall. |
9/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
20-race maiden; not beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor in July (5f, good to firm), but soundly beaten last two starts; now tried in blinkers (fair effort in first-time visor); others stronger. |

8st 8lb |
19-race maiden; several near misses on AW over the winter; well beaten at Wolverhampton last time and others look safer. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose 12 wins include a Group 3 at York (7f, good) last June; he was an excellent third of 19 in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f) in October; has since run up to his best in a 5f AW race at Newcastle in January and it will be interesting to see how he gets on back at this trip on turf with his regular hood discarded; ran creditably in 6f Group 3 at Newmarket last time. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very useful front-runner whose strike-rate is 12-32; bagged Group 3 honours at York (7f) last June and a valuable pot at Doha (6f) most recently; unbeaten (4-4) in 6f contests on the Newmarket courses and has shown that he can win in sizeable fields; likely to make a bold bid back here. |

9th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Debut in December appears to be clearly his best form; hard to fancy on the evidence of his two AW handicaps (5f and 7f) this summer but the dam's side encourages an attempt at 1m and he has tongue tied first time. |
14/1 |

9th 6 (1) |
28th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Drawn widest when returning from a 99-day absence (and a gelding operation) at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; 2lb lower, and still unexposed as a handicapper; dam was a 1m/8.6f winner, so he could improve for this extra yardage; consult the market for advice. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (9) |
25th May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No progress when well held in three runs (5f/6f) during the winter but he's been gelded since and is a possible improver now switched to a handicap; needs watching in market on his return. |

23rd May 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Huge prices and hasn't beaten many in his first five starts over 5f-1m on AW/turf; look elsewhere. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May/June; merely mid-division over 1m2f the next twice, here then at York, but the drop back down in trip and return to Ripon could both be positives and he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |

9th 17 (14) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has form over 1m2f but was below par (behind Westernesse) returned to this trip last week when bidding for a Ripon hat-trick; still seeking first success beyond 1m. |
20/1 |
|
5 (8) |
19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m handicap wins here recently; up 3lb but he's effective at this longer trip and not taken lightly in his current mood. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Finally came good in a 5f handicap at Nottingham in June; ran well back at that track in August but he has finished down the field in four runs since; good apprentice booked but others look more convincing. |

0-18 on the AW and 1-27 overall; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts and hard to recommend for now. |

6f course winner last August, when 4lb higher; stays 7f; needs to be much better than on his three starts for this trainer in 2025. |
