5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Bolted up in last season's Victoria Cup over this C&D (soft) but went missing for 470 days afterwards; out of the frame in both starts since returning (the latest back here) but this race was immediately nominated after his latest outing; likely to have his conditions and should go well. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by drop to 7f in spring 2023, winning two races including soft-ground Victoria Cup here by 4l; subsequently absent until Goodwood two weeks ago when showing clear signs of retaining ability while seeming to need the run; interesting with that reappearance under his belt. |

2-2 since dropped to 7f, both wins in spring 2023, latest by 4l in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (soft); now 8lb higher but could well have more to offer at this distance; interesting on return from 15-month absence, particularly if the market speaks favourably. |

10th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to win in Britain and comes here after finishing well down the field in three valuable, big-field handicaps at Ascot this summer (6f-7f); on a good mark now but needs a good boost from the first-time visor. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Capable of useful form but came up well short in two handicaps at Royal Ascot (7f/6f) last month, taking record for current yard to 0-15; opposed in another hot contest. |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins in UAE but he ran to a useful level over 7f at Newmarket in April and did well to get as close as he did when a hampered fourth to Bielsa at York in May (6f, good); raced in the disadvantaged group when well adrift here on Thursday; still one to be interested in. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Safely held in two valuable 7f handicaps on the Rowley Mile in May and needs to up his game today but it's worth noting he's now 3lb lower than when winning this race by a neck under Neil Callan a year ago (good to soft). |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Newcastle in March and added to his tally with a Thirsk win last month (6f, good); better form when a close third in a Class 3 at Newbury three weeks ago and a 1lb rise is manageable; conditions won't be an issue having finished third in a Wokingham in his prime; high on the list. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to popping up at Newcastle (5f) last month; ran well at Doncaster ten days later and back on the scoresheet with a Thirsk win last week (6f, good); won that apprentice race (no penalty today) last time with more authority than the winning margin might suggest but he is up in class today. |

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year. |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who was better than ever when winning a 1m Meydan handicap in February but not in the same form when weakening to finish well held in a 1m Newmarket handicap on his British return in April; has a bit to find on form and possible his main role here is to ensure a good pace for stablemate Master Of The Seas. |

18th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two good runs in Dubai this year, when third over 7f in January and then a game winner in a 1m handicap in February (both good ground); the latter effort was backed up by the clock and although he'll need to progress again to defy a 4lb rise, he might enjoy the run of things in this field; has won on good to soft, untested on slower; 2-3 in cheekpieces. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Now 2lb lower than when keeping on well for close second behind course specialist in quite valuable Brighton Mile this summer, but recent Tapeta form has been underwhelming and he remains without a win since 2023. |
