21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed at Pontefract (6f) on penultimate start but failed to back up that effort in the same scenario latest, underlining his inconsistency; capable of being involved but not sure what to expect. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) last November but this year's Flat form has been disappointing and he was pulled up (albeit on soft ground) when making handicap hurdle debut in selling grade in July. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Scored on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) in November and was very respectable third over same C&D the following month; still unexposed in this sphere but this year's Flat form has been substandard. |

2nd 5 (5) |
9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
210,000gns yearling who shaped nicely on his 6f debut at Thirsk in August; didn't build on that there next time, upped to 7f, again coming off the bridle some way out, and now goes in a first-time visor. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
210,000gns yearling; carried no great wave of confidence over 6f here three weeks ago (good; 12-1) but he ran a nice first race behind a Godolphin newcomer and two others who had shown ability; could easily be the answer. |
5/4 |

18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

68,000euros foal, 210,000gns yearling; ninth foal; half-brother to winners Coronation Day (6f-7f; RPR 94), Melissa Jane (6f-1m, including 2yo/US; 92), Kamchatka (6f-7f; 83) and The Cotswold Wasp (5f 2yo/US 8.5f; 83); dam placed at 5f/6f as 2yo (59); one to note for powerful connections. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
AW debut was encouraging but she made no impression over slightly further than this at Beverley; on that initial effort she's dangerous to rule out. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
27th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Stuck in the middle of the track when a close fourth of nine at Newcastle on debut 24 days ago (6f, AW); should know more today and the step up in trip will suit on pedigree. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
3rd Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
33,000gns yearling; tenth foal; half-sister to six winners (four in Scandinavia) including Gathering Power (6f; RPR 109); dam 1m and 9.6f winner (85); may need this debut outing, but check the betting. |

30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Saddle slipped when pulled up last time; best form on the AW and hasn't been running well enough before that to suggest he can take this. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Ran well on AW as recently as last November and he's tumbled down the weights since, but for good reason; needs to get back on track. |

27th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who appeared to be going the wrong way, but bounced back in the first-time visor when third of nine at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) ten days ago; 1lb lower, but much depends on whether the headgear continues to work. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
17th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has bits of encouraging form but ran badly (finished last of 11) at Newcastle most recently; hopes of shedding his maiden status are pinned on first-time headgear. |
12/1 |

11 (1) |
28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
0-7 but some fair runs since switched to Tapeta and from a bad draw he didn't run too badly last time at Kempton (7f); that might be more his trip but he's still considered. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fourth is the best he's managed in seven AW outings this winter, despite being prominent in the market a few times; his sole win from 24 starts came on turf but his claims still aren't obvious. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
5lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D last May, but his form since returning in December has been patchy while he is just 1-23. |
10/1 |
|
9th 12 (5) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win was on turf in August 2024 but he's only been beaten around 2l at Newcastle and Chelmsford (both at 1m) in last two runs; has possibilities if he can find something extra and he's not ruled out. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |
9/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

12th 3 (8) |
29th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
55,000euros half-brother to four winners including Steip Amach (7f 2yo and 1m Group 3; RPR 109) and Ceisteach (Irish/US 1m-1m3f including Grade 3; 100); dam placed 9.4f (77), granddaughter of 1m4f Group 3 winner; yard 14% with 2yos this season and interesting to see how he figures in market. |
