10st 9lb |
Didn't always look straightforward for Andrew Balding for whom his form petered out; however, he won two of his eight races (1m/1m2f) for that yard and has joined another good one to go hurdling; bought for 20,000gns. |

3rd 15 (8) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
2yo win was 1m2f on soft; no improvement this season and although his sixth of 13 in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last time was creditable, others seem to shout out more loudly for 1m4f. |

Without a win since October 2023; ran well at Doncaster in August but well beaten in three runs since; visor now joins the tongue-tie. |

7th 4 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and overall record is now 1-30. |
33/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Heavy defeats in two AW starts, both on this track in 2025; more of the same for much of this year and although there were more hopeful signs in midsummer, he was said to have never travelled when tailed off at Redcar last time. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form since returning to turf in the spring, getting the better of Silver Ghost to score at Newmarket (good) in May before solid third on the July course (again 7f, good to firm) the following month; just caught out by a drop to 6f when fourth at Ascot 19 days ago but that form is working out well; player back at 7f with William Buick taking over. |

0-9 but runner-up in four of his last five starts (three over C&D), going down by less than a length on four occasions; up another 1lb but a major player returned here. |

1st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
String of solid efforts in Tapeta handicaps this year and he doesn't appear to do anything wrong; has been nudged up another 2lb, though, and will need to find a bit more for the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers, and from the AW to turf. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who scored comfortably at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago on second run back from a long absence; open to further improvement at this level and warrants respect. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well-connected 5yo who showed signs of ability as a 2yo but missed the next two seasons; just 4-1 to make a winning yard/handicap debut at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month but he never showed, albeit not disgraced; clearly thought capable of better; has possibilities. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well-bred 5yo; showed promise as a 2yo for Richard Hannon (three runs; 6f-1m) but makes stable/handicap debut after mammoth 1,059-day absence; market helpful. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Hard to fancy on recent efforts but placed over 1m2f on turf off 9lb higher last summer and the Liam Bailey stable has hit a purple patch in recent days; no surprise were he to go well under Hollie Doyle. |
12/1 |
|
7th 11 (6) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
May benefit from this step back up in distance with classified/seasonal debut (1m) under his belt but is difficult to support with confidence, being an inconsistent maiden. |
25/1 |
|
8th 10 (3) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed a glimmer of promise here (1m2f) in September but well beaten here (1m4f) nine days later and he's now 0-16; drops back in trip following a break; others make greater appeal. |

20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of costly defeats since handicapping, not seeing it out on heavy ground and then from a wide stall at Nottingham (still ran creditably); he has less to prove than most of these, however, and there won't be any excuses this time. |
7/4 |
|
4th 13 (14) |
5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in all four runs, most recently when fifth of seven on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, heavy) last month; still early days for this well-bred gelding but he needs improvement on this switch to much quicker ground. |
11/2 |
|
5th 3 (2) |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in nine but he's admirably consistent and again hit the frame over a bit further here a month ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been beaten as favourite in four of his five handicaps but he found improvement when a close third over C&D last month; up 3lb but that latest run was a Racing League event and he pulled 4l clear of the fourth; key player. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
4yo who is 0-7 and has been a beaten favourite in all four handicaps; however, he's still run good races and may take a step forward at some point. |
7/1 |
