Promising second of ten at Newmarket on last month's debut (7f, good to soft; winner useful); beaten at odds-on at Sandown four weeks ago but he may have found the heavy ground too demanding; big chance if reproducing his debut effort. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Several good efforts in defeat against top 6f handicappers this year but he never shifted much in the weights and the return to soft ground may have made the difference when he made nearly all to win the Ayr Gold Cup recently; serious rain would bring him into the reckoning. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win this year but he's run some mighty races in defeat, in the frame in the Stewards' Cup and last week's Portland (only run out of second in the closing stages); should run his race again but there will probably be a few stronger. |

Fourth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood but then ran poorly in another big field at York and doesn't look to have much in hand of the handicapper. |

Heavy ground the likely reason for his modest effort at Chester (1m2f) last month, but was only been beaten a neck over the same trip at Epsom (good) the time before; record on the AW reads 321 and stable 31-131 (24%) here in past five seasons; respected. |

Cost 220,000gns in April; shaped encouragingly when fourth of 16 on C&D debut (8-1, beaten about 7l) in August; demonstrated improvement next time, when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton (8.5f), and remains open to more progress; strong claims. |

220,000gns 2yo; had wide draw to overcome, and he couldn't, on debut in relatively low-key 7f novice at Chelmsford but there were signs of ability in fourth of 16; no surprise if he benefits from the run and shows more. |
