2nd 8 (1) |
10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Well held in his two handicaps since winning a maiden here in June but this 525,000gns yearling could have some potential lurking now he's gelded; off since July, so some confidence behind him would be preferable. |
100/30 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
21st Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
525,000gns yearling; maintained his progress with a comfortable maiden win at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and was a bit too free for his own good when a fader on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); retains plenty of potential. |
3/1 |

5th 17 (11) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
525,000gns yearling buy, brother to the same stable's King Leonidas whose best form (RPR 109) was registered over 1m2f on handicap debut; this one's three runs over 1m, making all in Leicester maiden (good to firm) last time, suggest that he too is building up to something once upped to this trip; very much one to note. |

21st Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown plenty of promise with his runner-up efforts over 1m at Newmarket (good) and Leicester (good to firm) this season; sets a useful standard on both those pieces of form and he shaped as though this step up in trip could suit last time; strong contender. |

9st 4lb |
Kingman half-brother to UAE 6f-1m dirt winner Discovery Island (including Group 3); dam 7f-1m winner (including Listed), half-sister to some smart winners; already gelded but represents very powerful stable and needs a close look on debut. |

29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Back-to-back AW wins at the end of 2023; tongue tied, respectable third in 1m2f handicaps at Redcar (soft; Zetland Gold Cup) and Haydock (good to firm; six ran) on last two starts and had similar form three starts back on his second crack at about 1m4f, but he needs a bit extra. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't progressed in quite the manner that looked likely after back-to-back AW wins at the end of 2023 but his latest third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, soft) was a creditable effort; likely to be competitive if in similar form. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
27th May 2024 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from break with novice and handicap AW wins at about 1m2f in late 2023, but he hasn't put it together at this trip and 1m4f in three starts since (cheekpieces latest; now tongue tied); the return to 1m2f can suit but soft ground is not sure to improve matters. |

13th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten 12l into third on 7f debut here (good) but under a positive ride he showed plenty more at Leicester (1m, good to firm), finishing only 5l off a useful winner who ran well in a handicap at Royal Ascot (second has also won since); should stay this far and one to be interested in. |

Got off the mark at Lingfield (2m) in February and has continued in good order, challenging wide when fifth there (2m) three weeks ago; he ought to be in the shake-up. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

C&D winner in February and again ran well here in May; chance on that peak form but he was rather disappointing back here a month ago. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (1) |
6th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner in February and creditable C&D third in May; none of his five runs on turf have yielded much, so perhaps his last three outings can be forgiven; the latest was in first-time blinkers; player if straight back to form now he's returned to Kempton. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Issues at the start and with pulling hard in early runs and has been expensive to follow, going backwards since entering handicaps; didn't see out 1m2f on rain-softened ground last time but is running out of excuses. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown ability in his last three starts and did well to finish third of ten on handicap debut at Bath (1m, good to soft) last time given that he didn't enjoy a smooth trip; could make an impact on AW debut, though he could do with breaking better than he has been. |

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. |

8st 8lb |
Unexposed and well-bred 3yo who contested some warm maidens in the spring; unable to land a telling blow when sixth of eight on recent handicap debut at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) but is not written off just yet. |

26th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten 20l+ in three warm maidens this spring (1m-1m2f) but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut and ought to get much closer to the target today. |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive in 2023 and 2024, nearly winning last season's Cesarewitch on soft ground; fast ground and a dodgy draw were feasible excuses for his last two defeats; C&D winner and still on a competitive mark. |
5/1 |
|
17th 8 (20) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His march through the staying ranks included going mighty close in the Cesarewitch (2m2f) last October and winning at Goodwood (2m) last month; perhaps good to firm ground helps to explain a lesser show at Royal Ascot (2m4f) 11 days ago; acts on Tapeta but drawn widest and needs to resume progress. |

60,000euros yearling; brother to French 10.5f/1m3f winner Cap San Roman; dam French 1m4f (Listed) and 12.5f winner (RPR 100) out of once-raced half-sister to 1m2f-1m3f Group 3 winner Blue Monday; enough to like on pedigree and market should be revealing. |
