22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner for his two wins, latterly against six rivals in handicap at Newmarket (off 6lb lower) in May; tongue tied that day and when well beaten in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (also 1m2f on good) five weeks ago, when he raced in mid-division; others bring more compelling claims. |

9th 1 (5) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Front-running colt who beat six rivals in Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good; off 7lb lower) most recently, taking record to 2-4; open to further progress but isn't sure to get such an easy lead in this bigger field. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
2-5 for current yard after prevailing at Newcastle (1m4f, AW debut) and Hamilton (1m5f, good to soft; by a neck) on last two outings; raised another 4lb but he's getting his act together and, after two attempts last season, another go at 1m6f now looks plausible; has to be in serious calculations. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (6) |
15th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
1-5 for Richard Hannon and now 1-4 for current yard after prevailing in good style at Newcastle (1m4f, AW debut) five weeks ago; seemed to act on a range of ground on turf before that (won a maiden on heavy) but that AW run was a significant advance and he's now gone back up 7lb. |

13th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Badly hampered here one year ago in her only AW race; eighth attempt, and her first in this third type of headgear, when off the mark from the front in a novice at Nottingham (1m6f, soft) two weeks ago; there was limited improvement in that performance and she needs a great deal more today. |

30th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well established as a fair maiden, good second at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) in second-time cheekpieces on penultimate start; a lesser show in blinkers one month ago sees her in a visor today; probably placed at best even if straight back to form. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1m2f Flat winner (soft) but has only made the track four times since that success for Andrew Balding in October 2023; has changed hands since beaten a distance at Ffos Las last September; looks best watched unless market vibes are strong. |
6/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Landed a Newmarket maiden (1m2f, soft) in October 2023, but missed the whole of last year; fair efforts in first two starts after returning in April, but not so good at Chelmsford (2m, AW) in July; off another ten weeks since and others come into this in better form. |
8/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who missed last season; latest effort suggests this step up to 2m will suit; registered a useful win (RPR 99) as a 2yo and is interesting off current mark with a resurgent display plausible. |

30th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in five of his eight starts including all three on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (9.5f/1m4f); well held in a valuable Haydock handicap (1m6f, good) last time, but he was kicked at the start and lost a shoe; back in much quiter waters here and looks the one to beat. |
15/8 |
|
10th 9 (2) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
0-7 but beaten just a nose by Fouroneohfever at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and kept on well when second to Align The Stars at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's an each-way possible now up in trip, provided he handles the ground (unproven on good or faster). |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
16th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Unfortunate not to open his account when headed in the final stride on handicap debut at Wolverhampton AW (1m4f) in April; not so good on return to turf at York (1m4f, good) last month; withdrawn on account of the ground (good to firm) since; still needs to prove his effectiveness on turf. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look. |
6/1 |
|
20 (10) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-4 on turf but he was close up in two of his turf handicaps (good to firm/soft); blinkered on last four outings, winning from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW on the first and latest occasions; carries a 4lb penalty and is 3lb out of the handicap, so more improvement is needed, but the latest win was delivered in strikingly good style. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked. |
13/2 |

6th 7 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His options have improved since eligible for classified events and he's 2-3 at that level of late, over C&D and 1m at Lingfield; needs more back in a handicap. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in this grade at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) and backed it up with a solid C&D second two weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of the action once again. |
