16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Made late headway from the rear over 5f at Pontefract on stable/seasonal debut; interesting back up in trip, despite still being on a long losing spell; remains attractively treated on plenty of form. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Capable of useful form for Andrew Balding; close fourth when favourite for last year's Ayr Gold Cup; hasn't won since 2023 but looks interesting off current mark in this field on debut for new yard; remains with same owner; drops back to 5f for first time since good second (joint-best effort) in Sandown Group 3 in July 2024. |
6/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Only 2-20 and but knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and was bang there when favourite for the Ayr Gold Cup two weeks ago (6f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); things didn't go to plan when he tried 7f once before; possible. |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five-race maiden who has inconsistent form; clear best efforts when second at Haydock and eighth in the Super Sprint; chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not beaten far on his side of the course in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time (150-1; first-time cheekpieces) despite hanging right under pressure; had been below market expectations a couple of times prior to that, however, and is exposed now. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ran okay when second to a useful colt at Haydock (5f) but likely to fall short even with a repeat of that form; cheekpieces turned to after a flat effort at Nottingham. |

9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Slowly away, pulled hard and ran green when shaping nicely on his 5f debut in June; well below that level at a short price next time (also 5f; again missed the kick and never looked happy; saddle slipped late) and has since been gelded. |
6/1 |

13th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Not living up to his yearling price-tag but has made the frame on all four starts, most recently when creditable second of ten on nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good) last month; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but ought to make his presence felt again. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

took keen hold, held up in midfield, headway over 2f out, ridden and challenging when hung left over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins on turf when trained by Kevin Ryan; beaten a head over C&D in February but below that level twice since; may do better back at this track. |
12/1 |

18th 19 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Weighted to reverse October's Pontefract form with Fine Interview; best run for new stable came when second at Kempton last month; raced too freely at Newcastle since; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Not beaten far when last of three on his Newmarket debut (5f, soft) in May, but has gone backwards in two subsequent starts; first-time hood will need to make a big difference. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
15th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

8th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last of three at Newmarket (5f, soft) on debut appeared to be fair form, among the best in this line-up; however, he was well below that figure back at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days later; return to 5f may help. |

29th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to very useful 7f-1m2f AW winner Assimilation (RPR 108); made a low-key start at Haydock (5f, good to firm) last summer but he left that form well behind when third of eight here on his recent return after a gelding operation; open to more progress on this step up in trip and he's in the mix. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has been in good form this year, including when picked off late at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (winner gone in again since); each-way claims again. |

C&D winner; the odd encouraging run on turf this year, including at Hamilton last month (5f, soft), but he will need more if he is to come out on top tonight. |
8/1 |
