16th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Gamely made a winning debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm); however, subsequent Listed defeats at Royal Ascot (down the field) and Vichy (fourth) already expose his limitations to some degree; others preferred. |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Cost 130,000gns as a yearling; showed a great attitude at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) where he rallied tenaciously to beat Sayedaty Sadaty and Quatre Bras in a tight finish; open to progress and his gameness will be an asset in the rematch. |

1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Record of only 1-8 for Andrew Balding and has looked quirky but he appeared to run very well in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft; 50-1 fifth of 16) most recently; has since changed ownership and stable; leading claims provided the Epsom effort is backed up. |
4/1 |
|
5th 14 (2) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
His 2yo season was chaotic at times, including when winning a 1m AW novice, but there was no sign of awkwardness here on final 2yo start, nor when bearing up well in a tight finish to 1m Listed AW race on return; made most of the running and kept on steadily in 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket (good) since and this step up in trip should suit on pedigree; needs to find much more but the yard's outsiders have proved well worth a look in this race. |
50/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
3rd May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |

Quirky at times last year but proved straightforward in Newcastle Listed race (1m, AW) on reappearance, finishing a good second; bred to stay this new trip; possibilities provided he goes the right way. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner (twice over the extended 1m2f at Dundalk); out of form on turf last season but some good runs this term, second over this trip at Naas and dead-heating for fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown despite not getting the clearest of runs; down the field behind Final Voyage here nine day ago. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 1lb |
Three-time AW winner (twice at 1m2f); out of form on turf last season but some good runs this term, good second over inadequate 7f at Naas (soft) and nine days ago at Leopardstown when coming late to dead-heat for fourth with Amplitude over this trip, having not had the clearest of runs; better ground here to suit and has to be on the shortlist with rider now claiming 7lb. |
13/2 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner; out of form on turf last season; enjoyed a revival at Dundalk in recent months and proved as effective on turf when second to Independent Expert on soft ground at Naas; plenty to find with Diego El Queso on Curragh running. |

20th Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He has run to a useful level in his two 7f runs this summer, albeit he failed to improve on his debut when only third at Sandown five weeks ago (odds-on favourite); bred to do better and he's of obvious interest. |
5/4 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beautifully bred colt who was sent off 9-4 favourite when beaten less than a length into fourth of 11 on his Yarmouth debut (7f, good to firm) this month; will need to settle better than he did then, but if he does he is much respected for stable that has won this race twice since 2015, including a division of it with Native Trail (on debut) two years ago. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Below form last July on soft on final 2yo start, his sole run on softer than good; wore blinkers on both outings as 3yo, winning a maiden at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; came from off the pace in the latter and strode clear in good style, so he remains one to take seriously despite 9lb rise. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Took well to first-time blinkers in Wolverhampton maiden in April (9.5f, AW; sole run this year); may have more to offer in the retained headgear and looks well treated on peak 2yo effort (very strong form); interesting on handicap debut. |

1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

February foal by Masar; closely related to winners Military March (7f/1m 2yo including Group 3; RPR 115) and Clongowes (1m2f/12.6f; 104), half-brother to three winners including Pallister (6f-1m including 2yo; 102); dam 7f-1m4f winner (including Yorkshire Oaks; 116); stable's first 2yo runner of the year and his inviting pedigree makes him well worth monitoring in the market. |

Held by a few of these opponents on Yarmouth 7f form, having finished only seventh in that race, and he gave the impression he's already crying out for further; well down the pecking order in this field. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
16-1, faded into eighth of 11 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) nine weeks ago, beaten about only 4l, though; needs a second look, especially as he has a Group 2 Mill Reef entry in September. |
16/1 |

13th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Faded into eighth, beaten about 4l, in 7f contest at Yarmouth (good to firm) on debut; sets the standard, albeit not a tall one, on that bare form and gave the impression this shorter trip will suit. |

1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

March foal by Soldier's Call; £60,000 yearling; half-brother to 6f winner Soller Bay (RPR 68); dam unraced half-sister to 6f AW 2yo winner Furas, out of 7f AW 2yo winning half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Emerald Commander; stable can get them ready first time, but others make more appeal on breeding. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Promising third on first two starts (5f/5.5f, good to soft/good) then faded when upped to 7f at Yarmouth (good to firm) last time; kept to the same trip for this nursery debut but there's stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree and he's been gelded since last time, which could prompt a bigger run. |
20/1 |

9th 4 (11) |
1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed ability in finishing third at Beverley (5f, good to soft) and Wetherby (5.5f, good) last month; bred to stay well on the dam's side, but he doesn't set an overly daunting standard for the newcomers to aim at and there are plenty of interesting ones up against him here; stable also runs Mullazem. |
