2nd 1 (9) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Novice winner on soft at Salisbury; left Clive Cox at the sales for 180,000gns; made a satisfactory start for this trainer when fourth in the Horris Hill; ground was heavy at Newmarket but he handled good ground when placed on his first two starts. |

4th 3 (9) |
4th Nov 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Sent on early at Salisbury (7f, soft) and from thereon never saw another rival as he repelled the favourite by nearly 3l with the front two clear; posted a useful Topspeed figure and, with conditions no issue, he's a definite player; has since left Clive Cox at the sales for 180,000gns. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 11lb |
Boasts a fine AW record (four wins) and gained a first turf victory at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in May off 60; soft ground may have been his undoing at Leopardstown following month so respected here back on a sound surface although this much longer trip an unknown. |

5th 8 (7) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Boasts a fine AW record (four wins) and gained a first turf victory under this rider at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; must be respected off the back of that but sole run on soft previously was a poor effort and this is a much tougher assignment; 1lb wrong. |

|
1st 13 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
9st 4lb |
Boasts a fine AW record (4 wins) but continues to struggle on turf (0-13); first turf attempt at this trip. |

1st 8 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot. |
50/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent and he disappointed in Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) last time; however, he reportedly lost a shoe and prior to that was an encouraging fourth on his reappearance at the Curragh (7f, soft to heavy); won this race last year (good; at its old home Haydock) and posted fine third in Group 1 Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) last October; player if bouncing back. |
11/2 |
|
8th 11 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Reappeared last season with victory in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt over C&D and he signed off the campaign with a fine third in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp; might have needed the run when fourth in Listed event at the Curragh six weeks ago; versatile in terms of the ground; solid chance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |

5th 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dips into a 0-70 for the first time but hasn't obviously been shaping as if likely to be cashing in on his reduced mark. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins came in September 2024; tends to race prominently and if his natural exuberance can be harnessed then he would not be far away. |
4/1 |
|
7th 12 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Went back-to-back in good-ground handicaps (7f/1m, including here) in September 2024 but no wins since and two runs last month (led before weakening) don't suggest another crack at this trip will turn the ship around. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Switched to AW the last twice, dead-heating at Kempton (7f) then well held at Newcastle; bits of encouraging turf form but this is a step back up in grade. |

1st 2 (2) |
21st Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up in two of his six starts on turf, the latest at Salisbury (7f, good) in May, and he may have just needed the run at Lingfield (7f, good) 11 days ago; one of his half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he may find a bit more improvement for the new surface. |

Soundly beaten in two AW handicaps for new stable (6f/7f) this season and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs today's hike up in trip to enable significant improvement. |

Inconsistent in five runs for Roger Teal; down in the weights prior to her stable debut (same owners) but there are risks involved. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Limited Flat maiden who also ran to a modest level in three races over hurdles; didn't get far on chase debut last month; best watched. |
10/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut. |
14/1 |

4th 4 |
21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Modest form in his previous two maiden hurdles and made it 0-12 on the Flat when tailed off in a 1m3f seller at Goodwood four weeks ago (good to firm; 100-1); readily opposed. |
