26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Different proposition since blinkered, winning Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, soft) in April and Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot (good) in June; showed he's also capable of smart performances outside handicaps when third in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot (good to soft) on latest start six weeks ago; should be thereabouts for a stable which continues in excellent form. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (8) |
15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Different proposition since blinkered, winning Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, soft) in April and Royal Hunt Cup over the straight 1m at this course (good) last month; the RPR he achieved when winning here gives him a good chance but big-field races clearly suit and he does need to prove he can produce that level of performance faced with a different scenario. |
4/1 |

1st 9 (7) |
21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm ground; took really well to first-time blinkers in the Spring Cup at Newbury, scoring readily, and subsequent flop seems to confirm that he's unsuited by the Newmarket Rowley Mile course; may still have more to offer in the blinds and he has Royal Ascot form having finished third in last year's Britannia; one to consider. |

Well beaten in the Lincoln in March on sole outing this term (1m, good to soft) but he was runner-up in two major handicaps (both 1m on soft) during a light campaign last season and yesterday's rain is a major positive for his claims; capable of a big performance. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip. |

Made a winning debut as a 2yo but beaten on his next 23 starts; revitalised by a drop into Class 5 company though, winning 7f handicaps at Haydock and Doncaster (impressed in a good Topspeed figure); up 7lb for last time but still has some handicapping scope. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Largely progressive at two and three; however, hasn't done quite so well this year and his July success (7f, soft) came in a lower grade, sharing the spoils; balance of 2023 form suggests he'll come up well short. |
18/1 |

15th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has done a lot of his racing at 1m but dropping back to 7f was no issue when dead-heating on soft ground at Doncaster two starts back (second run in cheekpieces); fine under these conditions and remains on a workable mark if able to bounce back from a poor one at Chepstow. |

9st 10lb |
Began 2023 with a pair of AW wins, notably the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton (RPR 106); also ran a fine race at Newcastle in June (1m) and this month's fifth in a 1m Listed race at Kempton was another fair effort; stamina for today's trip not assured but he won't be far away if it sparks anything extra from him. |

Won two in a row on AW earlier this year but has a very mixed record since his last success and was only eighth of 11 at Sandown (behind Bluelight Bay) last time; that was after a break but he's now 0-9 on turf and others are more convincing. |

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
4yo who is in top hands and has raced 12 times; two of his very best performances have come in big-field handicaps, when going close in last year's Britannia (1m, good to firm) at Royal Ascot and when a head second of 17 over C&D in May (good to soft; denied a clear run); interesting given this ideal scenario; blinkers refitted in place of first-time cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
7th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a maiden as 2yo; went very close at Royal Ascot in 2022 (1m) and at Newmarket Guineas meeting this year (1m1f) and he fared easily the best of all five in this field when back at Royal Ascot (1m2f) on latest outing, coming a creditable fifth of 16 in Listed race; tried cheekpieces on last two starts but former blinkers now return; those peak efforts were in large fields when ridden by Frankie Dettori, whereas overall record is mixed, so the issue is not as clearcut as the Ascot result might suggest. |
11/8 |
|
5th 14 (3) |
20th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Course winner as 2yo; went very close from off the pace in the Britannia at last year's Royal meeting (1m, good to firm) and underlined what a talented performer he is on his day when narrowly denied by King Of Conquest in 1m1f Newmarket handicap (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained) on reappearance; arguably a little unfortunate having had to wait for a run and that reopposing rival (who meets him on 3lb worse terms now) has boosted the form since; slightly mixed overall record but he hasn't finished out of the first two when partnered by Dettori and is capable of a big run. |

Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start. |

Heavy defeats on his first two starts for this yard but he popped up at 40-1 when scrambling home at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time eye-shields) three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than his trainer putting one of the reasons for that success down to quick ground. |
