Unraced on soft/heavy; came up short in the Vintage but has progressive form otherwise; ran well off top weight in 7f nursery at the York Ebor festival last time; has frame possibilities on ratings. |

Improved again when comfortably winning a 6f Ascot nursery (good) last month; not up to the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood on his first attempt at 7f but this is a more realistic assignment. |

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. |

13th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Kept on well for third on last month's nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good) but was behind Impressive Act there and his 7f run at Newmarket three weeks ago was a backward step; others preferred. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Only modest effort in four starts came on the AW and she looked as though the return to this trip would suit when third of ten in an Ascot nursery (6f, good) eight days ago; should run her race, but she looks vulnerable to an improver and her rider is unable to claim. |

9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

7f nursery winner here (good; has won on good to firm) in 2023; landed seventh AW win when scoring at Lingfield (1m; first-time cheekpieces, retained) a fortnight ago; has won off higher marks than this and must be considered on his return to turf. |

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. |

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. |

17th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Gelded before coming in a below-par seventh in 7f Kempton nursery 29 days ago; visor is refitted now with plenty more required if he's to shed his maiden tag. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

No closer than seventh in five starts, but was sent off just 4-1 when beating one home at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last time; gelded since and interesting to see if the money comes again for him on AW debut. |

Minor promise in three maiden/novice runs at around 6f; tried in a visor for his nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good) 12 days ago but never able to land a blow; up in trip and down in class so could yet fare better. |

Took well to first-time cheekpieces in classified event in August for a second turf win; well beaten back on AW since and still has something to prove in this sphere. |

10th 3 (11) |
23rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled in first four runs for current yard but he turned things around with cheekpieces added when landing a classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and this step back up in trip should be fine; respected back in a handicap. |

Recorded sole success over 6f; not particularly solid on his sprint form for new yard but shapes as if this return to 7f is possibly worth exploring; may raise his game. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Poor in his first two starts over 5f on a soft surface in April, but a complete contrast when landing an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm) last month; significant rain would be an issue, but makes plenty of appeal otherwise if conditions remain on the fast side; stable has a good record in this race. |

30th Apr 2023 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Tailed off on debut at Leicester a fortnight ago but sent off just 9-4 and perhaps heavy ground didn't suit; he's the first foal of a Group-placed 1m 2yo winner and could be a different proposition here for his top yard. |
