in touch with leaders, cajoled along 4f out, pushed along 3f out, hung left but headway on near side of group 2f out, ridden over 1f out, led inside final furlong, soon edged left, went clear final 110yds, comfortably |

25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable third at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap debut, before making all at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) and asserting final 1f at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft); 1m4f looks manageable and 7lb rise may be too, given he was comfortably on top for both wins; steadily progressive. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent sort who was third in this last year (good) and has gone close three times this season, including at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) last month; another good run when fourth of 13 at York (2m, good to firm) last time and he's a solid each-way contender. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Career-best form this season, beaten a neck by Spirit Mixer in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW) in June and another close second at Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) 18 days ago; ran poorly when he tried front-running on penultimate start; up 2lb to another career-high mark, with a slight question about good to firm ground, but he has to be in serious calculations. |

Five-time Flat winner is rated 70 in that sphere; beaten 21l on hurdling debut at Down Royal recently; can do better. |

One of two runners for yard; five Flat wins when trained in UK; regressive for this yard, though running well at times; could go well on hurdles debut if jumping holds up. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Newbury (1m2f, good) ten days ago on his second start back from some time off; back up 4lb but he's just 1lb higher than when second in this last year and he's a solid contender. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably over 1m2f on good ground on first three starts last season and back-to-form fourth of 13 at Kempton (AW) three weeks ago; thereabouts if the returning cheekpieces (worn on final start in 2024, below form) don't have an adverse effect. |
12/1 |
|
4th 12 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ran creditably on first three starts last season, before two lesser displays in the summer; versatile ground-wise on turf and although he's raced only twice on AW, in first half of 2024, the first of those runs was creditable; the widest draw does not help today, however. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat for Hugo Palmer last year; having rejoined Olly Murphy, he continued the good work when second on 2m Wolverhampton reappearance three weeks ago, with reopposing pair Enemy and Brasil Power narrowly behind in third/fourth; likely to go well again. |
11/4 |

2nd 1 (6) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Developed into a useful handicapper, including on AW, last year for Hugo Palmer; close third in the Mallard at Doncaster on final outing; however, needs a career-best performance to defy current mark on first run since rejoining Olly Murphy. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added. |

0-15 over hurdles, with a very mixed record; ran quite well when third here (2m4f, good) last month but was well held in the end; not bred for fences and makes only limited appeal on this chasing debut. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

His two best RPRs were recorded here last summer, albeit over 2m (good); two below-par efforts since April's serviceable third in a novice seller at Exeter and he has work on from 3lb out of the handicap. |

Improved 3yo, winning 1m2f Nottingham maiden on return and best form when leading home his group at Salisbury in June (1m4f), winner was a class-dropper who raced alone; however, he dropped right out at Goodwood after and needs to redeem himself with tongue-tie added on AW debut. |

Made all in five-runner maiden at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in April on reappearance, by a nose as 5-4 favourite; creditable third of six on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the impressive winner followed up at Royal Ascot; now worth a go at 1m4f. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

May have needed the run at Kempton 12 days ago but he ended up well beaten; he has a lower turf mark to exploit but is a better horse on AW; others look safer. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has claims on his best form last year but he ended last season with a poor run at Leicester (7f, good) in October and his last win was 21 months ago; others preferred. |
25/1 |

13 (16) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Capable but not particularly consistent; won four times last year, at 7f/1m, three on the AW, the other a 7f Newmarket handicap; sound run when fourth at Kempton last time (7f, standard to slow); capable of going well. |
