3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m3f novice here in 2023 and the Cesarewitch Trial (2m2f) later that year; lightly raced since and she wasn't beaten far in the Chester Cup last May but needs to be at her peak to win this after over a year off. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won last year's 2m2f Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket and good fifth when ridden more prominently than usual in the Chester Cup (good to firm) this May; her three AW races were on Polytrack at start of career, winning on third occasion; assuming she's fully effective on this surface, she could still have more to offer. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race last year (soft) from Robert Johnson and dictated the pace under Connor Beasley when taking a useful Newbury race (2m, good to firm) 13 days ago, from closing rivals including Kyle Of Lochalsh; up 3lb but this highly reliable sort will surely be seriously involved again. |

8st 7lb |
The Cesarewitch was his only disappointment for new yard last season and his win came at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, soft); 7lb higher today, nudged up another 1lb following his second at Goodwood (2m, good) on reappearance; respectable fifth at Royal Ascot keeps him in each-way calculations. |

23rd May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Developed into fairly useful Flat-racer for William Haggas last year and has shown aptitude for hurdling for new stable this year, most recently when placed against own age-group over C&D (soft) in March; open to improvement on today's handicap hurdle debut; interesting. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Very well suited by 2m on Polytrack and lurks on a tempting mark but has looked out of sorts in recent months; needs to turn a corner. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again. |
4/1 |
