2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 10lb |
Half-brother to top-class Protektorat; surprise withdrawal from last weekend's bet365 Gold Cup due to ground, having made notable progress before that on similar good ground in 3m Ascot handicaps, winning twice including latest in premier handicap in February; potentially a big player. |

11st 6lb |
Narrowly denied in a maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April only to disappoint in a novice next time when tried in cheekpieces; tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut here and has the ability to cope with this mark; more interesting than most of these. |

Improving with experience and only just denied at Warwick (2m3f, good) on latest start three months ago; repeat of that gives him major claims and he handled soft ground on previous start; cheekpieces go on. |

Low-mileage 7yo who launched chasing career with two very encouraging runs in the autumn, the latter a close third at Leicester (2m6f, good to soft); absent since but still considered. |

Showed promise in a light campaign over hurdles last season and he stuck to his task well when an encouraging fourth on his chasing debut at Kempton (2m2f) 29 days ago; this longer trip promises to suit so he's a player. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in her four handicaps and was tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f) last time; may have had stamina issues in that race but things haven't clicked for her yet and she needs improvement back in trip. |

26th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Best run yet in handicaps when about a 10l fourth at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) but he did weaken late on and now goes up in distance; dangerous to underestimate his trainer's thinking but stamina has to be doubted. |

A long time since he showed his best form and very opposable on how he's performed in the last year, especially as he's out of the weights. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Peak RPR of 98 came in an identical C&D event over two years ago (good); 0-8 since, however, with a breakthrough rules win seeming further away than ever on this season's efforts; 2lb out of the weights. |

0-10 over fences; runner-up on consecutive outings in autumn 2023 (2m3f/2m7f) but absent since two underwhelming runs last summer (2m1f/3m2f) and may need further than 2m nowadays. |

Pulled up on first two hurdling starts and probably didn't achieve much when seventh of eight at Warwick (2m3f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; 2lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut; improvement required. |

Out of a half-sister to two bumper winners but she also has plenty of stamina in her pedigree; yard 0-21 in bumpers and this newcomer could be a longer-term prospect. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Seemed to excel himself when second of three from a long way out of the handicap at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month but was grossly flattered by his proximity to idling winner and the form looks somewhat dubious; soundly beaten off correct mark since; others preferred. |
8/1 |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

24lb out of the weights when running surprisingly well at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last week, though only three ran and the chances are the bare form flatters him; this should confirm one way or another, but he's 19lb lower this time so has to be taken seriously. |
