27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |

9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; also close second off 1lb higher at Lingfield (7f) in December but his form dipped in two subsequent starts last winter; off for 169 days so his peak fitness has to be taken on trust. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; close second at Lingfield (7f) on his penultimate start but his form dipped when fifth of six behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; a personal best will be required to take this. |
10/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up. |

1st 2 (5) |
26th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden (0-13); regularly placed (5f-7f); hasn't been at his best in three runs this year, although there were some mitigating circumstances at Salisbury (6f) last time; others preferred. |

20th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up over C&D in June on second start then went one better in Goodwood maiden (5f); however, he's been unplaced in 6f nurseries the last twice and needs to raise his game if he's to win this; unraced on slow ground. |

Delivered on earlier promise when winning five-runner Goodwood maiden (5f, good) last month but was well-held eighth (behind Je Ne Sais Quoi and Politico) when upped to 6f for recent nursery debut at Haydock. |

21st Mar 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped away on recent seasonal return; not out of it if back to last year's best but she's unlikely to be left alone up front. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Hard-pulling front-runner who can go to her right; her two handicap wins came off slightly lower marks but the drop back from 6f looks in her favour and she'd be a player if able to dictate with a rail on her off-side. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Comfortable turf win in August (5f, good) and she has run creditably in defeat twice since; hopes pinned on the step back up in distance sparking a bit extra. |
10/1 |
