26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Notably progressive in the spring, having plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) to complete a hat-trick; however, he came unstuck in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 11-4 favourite) the following month; retains potential but needs a big step forward against some high-class older opposition here. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (11) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Impressed in 7f maiden/novice races (good to soft/AW) in the first part of spring and again had plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last time; displayed obvious Group-race potential at Haydock and he has strong claims for his top yard. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has worn a hood on all three starts; went close on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and won in fine style the next twice (7f, good to soft/AW); in a tough race on handicap debut but is in top hands and could prove to be better than his opening mark, provided the absence of the hood isn't an issue. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-race maiden who has gone the wrong way over a variety of trips since finishing second on his debut for Brian Meehan at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last April; look elsewhere. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (5) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Initial promise for Brian Meehan, notably when runner-up to Covey in a 7f Newmarket maiden last April; yet to threaten (0-2) for this doubly represented trainer and takes a sharp step up in trip here to compete beyond 9.5f for the first time; continues to ease in the weights. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
30th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair maiden at his best for Brian Meehan who wasn't disgraced for his new yard when third of five in 1m Chelmsford seller last month; he needs to follow it up back in handicap company. |

9th 11 (10) |
26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at tenth attempt, keeping on well to prevail by a neck at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month; ran okay off new mark at Newmarket a fortnight later but will need to kick on again here. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ground it out to make it tenth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m, good) 15 days ago; now 4lb higher and will need to improve again if he is to get the better of a couple of these; stable won this in 2017 and 2020. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins this year, including on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in June; back on form when third of 13 over 7f at this course here (good) six weeks ago, faring best of those on his part of the track. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Inconsistent in six starts but showed improvement when racing prominently in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow (1m2f, good) latest; will have to prove he gets this extra furlong; if staying, he remains on a competitive mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fair third to a subsequent winner at Chelmsford in first time visor on handicap debut (1m, standard to slow); not so good last time at Kempton (1m); steps up to 1m2f and now tried in cheekpieces; bit to prove. |
5/2 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
14th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded after struggling in his novices and with a visor fitted for his handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m) he made eyecatching late headway for third (Hurricane Kiko runner-up); might have threatened with a clear run that day; not drawn well but respected. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |
11/4 |
|
6th 15 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |
9/1 |
|
1st 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |
