26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Hamilton (1m, good) in May and Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June; not matched that since but has been building back up and was beaten just a neck at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time; well drawn to attack. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Won five times when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description; slowly away and always behind at the Curragh on latest; new headgear. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

Won five when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description so conditions have to be a concern here (0-5 on soft); tongue tie goes on. |

0-9 on AW but caught the eye over 10.5f on debut for this stable in early December, keeping on for fifth and not far behind Nakasero (7lb better off now); unsuited by 1m the last twice and could improve plenty for this longer trip; interesting. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |
4/1 |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

9st 9lb |
Changed hands for 45,000gns after string of good efforts for Jedd O'Keeffe in summer 2024, but this stable debut has been a long time coming and he might come on for the run. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at Doncaster (1m4f) in May and has held his form well since, runner-up at Ripon (1m4f) two weeks ago; he ought to be thereabouts. |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (5f, AW) in December; up and down since but ran okay when third at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time; won on turf on debut back in April 2023; not ruled out. |

Won over C&D in first-time cheekpieces in December but hasn't matched that form in two starts since (attracted support last time; fourth won next time); needs to get back to best. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Frankel colt who showed promise when placed over 6f/7f on good to firm at the start of the summer; given a bit of time ahead of this third start and it's likely 1m will suit him; leading claims. |
11/4 |

2nd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

400,000gns yearling; first foal; by Frankel out of 7f AW 2yo/1m turf winner (RPR 93), whose dam was a 1m Group 1 winner; 5-6 when third of seven in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, front rank until outgunned over 1f out; yard also runs By The Book; this extra 1f will help and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |
