28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Group 2 course winner as a juvenile who was only seen once last term; down the field in the Tattersalls Gold Cup last month; that was a tough ask on return from 413 days off and this drop in class looks more suitable; potential pace angle and not ruled out if he can come on for that return. |

towards rear but in touch with leaders early, headway 3f out, led on near side of group when nudged along over 1f out, ridden when briefly headed inside final furlong, kept on well up the centre inside final 110yds, pushed out |

13th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ballydoyle filly who ties in with Caught U Looking on penultimate effort but looks rather exposed now and record stands at 1-8; stable has a much stronger chance with Ylang Ylang. |
50/1 |

5th 1 (9) |
7th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Taking her racing well and posted a career-best here a fortnight ago when front-running third in Group 3 Weld Park Stakes over 7f; not sure that warrants her current mark of 105 and possibly vulnerable but should again be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 11lb |
Highly tried at two after winning a maiden on debut; last three runs have been in small-field conditions races over 7f; needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Highly tried at two; bang there the last twice in 7f events, though couldn't make the most of an easy lead here last time when reeled in by one who was rated 79 at the time; likely to need more here. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |
