30th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple winner over jumps and on AW; respectable sixth of eight in 2m Goodwood handicap (good) 25 days ago but it underlines he needs more from his mark. |

6th 1 (2) |
5th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple winner over jumps and on AW; failed to show his form in last two appearances (Flat/hurdle); close second off 2lb higher in this race last year and has a fighting chance if back in the same form. |

9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since Boxing Day 2021 but has since developed into a smart Flat performer, gaining a fourth success (all on AW) at Wolverhampton in March (RPR 105); fascinating contender. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October and 1m4f for last month's reappearance (40-1) was too short; the latter was probably his most encouraging of five runs for current yard, however, and he's been dropped another 4lb since, which makes it 17lb below his peak mark; not ruled out. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October, including in four races for current yard, and although he's not been sent to the Middle East to start this campaign and is now 13lb below his peak mark, this short a trip asks a big question. |

4th Aug 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Cast-iron stayer who nearly always gives his running and after solid efforts at Chester (2m2f, soft) and Royal Ascot (2m4f, good) he bagged last month's Northumberland Plate (2m AW) by half a length; won this two years ago and later that campaign nearly won the November Handicap off this very mark; no ground preferences; hard to knock. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; usually held up and he came from the back when seventh of 20 in this race last year; whether he's well enough handicapped to win this time round remains to be seen but he's shown enough in his two British starts this summer to demand each-way respect. |
28/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won last season's Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; some fair efforts in Meydan earlier this year, and also in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago following a break, but he needs to raise his game to take this. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Usually runs well at Newcastle, where he won this race last year in good style; took a big prize in Australia last October and struck up a solid sequence over the winter; absent 119 days and 12lb higher than 12 months ago, which surely demands a career best, but needs respect. |
