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. |

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. |

Consistent rather than progressive in ten runs for Marco Botti; sold for 20,000gns in March; never dangerous over C&D on last month's stable debut; eased in class but needs more. |

Record is 2-4; absent since September 2023 when something looked amiss; subsequently gelded and has rejoined John Butler; market useful. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Promising effort on sole start for John Butler; successful in 1m4f novice events at Wolverhampton (AW) and Catterick (good to soft) since; unexposed colt who could do well in handicaps and looks interesting. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2m Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; both runs for new yard were over 1m4f on Tapeta recently, with a lesser effort last time (despite starting favourite) but she could prove more potent with today's step back up in trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November on final run for Micky Hammond and again ran well when third on recent stable debut there (2m1f, good to soft), where shaping as though this longer trip would be worth exploring. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Two wins for Micky Hammond, the latest a C&D handicap in November (soft; beat That One by 5.5l); progressive sort who should go well on stable debut despite 7lb rise; tongue-tie on for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |

A fair Flat maiden for William Haggas; won a Perth maiden hurdle and went on to be beaten 3l and 11l in his two handicaps; each-way claims if fit enough to do himself justice. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y |
11st 12lb |
Decent performer on the Flat, winning twice and rated 87 at his peak; hooded (retained) and tailed off on his Irish and hurdles debut on heavy at Punchestown last month; ground more suitable now but can only be watched after that last effort. |
80/1 |

24th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
Useful form on the Flat for Ed Bethell including a 1m6f win off 82; hood goes on for his stable/hurdles debut; stays at least 2m on the level so this may not be a sufficient stamina test; probably best watched, especially on this ground. |

Beaten in two points before embarking on a fairly forgettable Flat career (1m2f-2m); opposable. |
