Carries a 3lb penalty and he's the only one of these who lacks a recent run; however, he holds leading form claims having gone 4-4 in his 2yo campaign, winning Group 1s at Deauville (6f, very soft; Morny) and Newmarket (6f, good to firm; Middle Park) on his final two starts; could be tough to beat. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |

6th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |

6th 11 (7) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Exploited his reduced mark in fine style at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month; came up short off an 11lb higher mark in Ireland 13 days ago, hanging left; minor placing perhaps his best hope this time. |
12/1 |

6th 2 (8) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Made all for an emphatic 5f Doncaster win early this month, his first success since August 2024; up 11lb for that; however, he had a higher mark early in his career when trained by Brian Meehan; definite chance, given the depth of the sprinting division in Britain, relative to Ireland. |
9/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
His last win was in August 2024 but he went close off a reduced mark in a 16-runner handicap at York (5f, good) last month; back up 2lb in the weights but that was a bold bid last time and he's respected. |

Beat the smart Big Evs on his second run but was behind that rival at Royal Ascot and has since had his limitations further exposed; while he didn't run at all badly in the Gimcrack, others appeal more here. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
His first campaign started well, making it 2-2 in Epsom's Woodcote Stakes before finishing sixth of 20 here in the Coventry; that was as good as it got and he signed off with a heavy defeat on nursery debut; now having his first race in ten months and on his first venture beyond 6f, so there are some serious questions to confront. |

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Soft ground excuses his Richmond flop behind Vandeek; that is flanked by a ready win at Newbury (6f) and good third in York Listed event (5f); however, has a lot to find on ratings at this tougher level. |
40/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won well at Newbury (6f, good) on debut, looking a bright prospect, and that form has been boosted; soft surface was likely to blame for his Richmond flop at Goodwood and he remains of interest; could well confirm the initial promise, provided he copes with this drop to 5f. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Holds poor claims on his Redcar form this season for new yard; AW record isn't particularly convincing; enough to prove. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Won a Sandown novice (5f, good to firm) for Sean Woods in June 2023 but gradually lost his way after being gelded last year and has been campaigned sparingly by this yard in 2025; on a career-low mark but still tough to consider. |
