23rd Aug 2023 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother Youth Spirit was third in this race in 2021; second win was a Listed contest at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in April; disappointing in the Dante at York but back on song when fifth of 16 in Group 3 at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) and third of six in Group 3 at Goodwood (1m4f, soft; Artistic Star fourth); needs better still to take this, which is what the same connections' Deauville Legend managed in it 12 months ago. |

Half-brother Youth Spirit was fourth in this race in 2021; second win was a Listed contest at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in April; disappointing in the Dante at York but back on song when fifth of 16 in Group 3 at Royal Ascot, both about 1m2f on good to firm; stuck to his task admirably last time as if well worth a crack at 1m4f. |

22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and finished well to follow up in Listed race at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in April; something to prove after his Group 2 Dante disappointment (10.2f, good to firm) but that's not his true form and he retains potential. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent rather than progressive in ten runs for Marco Botti; sold for 20,000gns in March; never dangerous over C&D on last month's stable debut; eased in class but needs more. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb

Never a threat in three runs over 1m but she's bred to be useful and now makes handicap debut after over six months off; should be suited by today's longer distance; dangerous, especially if strong in the market. |
5/1 |

19th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Similar form in two 1m novice events on AW in February; stable looks to have stronger claims with Mubhijah. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Nine-race maiden who was only beaten half a length on yard debut at Limerick in June; disappointing favourite over C&D next time though and he's struggled in three runs over further since. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has mostly run well since handicapping, one of the exceptions on his sole visit to this track but that was on soft ground and the only time he's had a visor (usually wears cheekpieces); three front-running wins on turf at up to 2m last season and renewed his progress this term, always prominent when scoring from Temporize at Goodwood (2m) last time; whether he can get a good enough early position from stall 1 is a worry, as he's not been quick to find his stride this term, but otherwise he should run very well. |

4th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not without some ability in two starts at Newcastle, as when third of ten (9l behind the winner) in a slowly run event (7f) last month; looks more of a handicap type. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |

4th 11 (7) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |
4/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1m2f and 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; backed up November's Newcastle success with a respectable third at Lingfield last month; was below that level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; drops 1lb and can be competitive if he acts at this track. |
