25th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Closely related to St Leger runner-up New London who won his maiden on this card two years ago; hooded for C&D debut (good to firm) and did well to finish a close fourth after showing signs of inexperience; a strict line through the runner-up gives him the edge over Native Warrior; stable's winner of this 12 months ago ran a similar race on his debut at this track. |

4th 8 (7) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Fifth foal; closely related to powerful connections' St Leger runner-up New London, along with Al Nayyir (1m2f-1m7f including Listed) and Al Dabaran (7f 2yo including Listed); wears a hood on debut; fellow newcomer Military Leader may be the yard's chief hope but he could still run well. |

9st 11lb |
British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has improved for this visor and he's readily won competitive 7f handicaps here on his last two starts (good to soft/soft); back up to 1m on forecast better ground today but his past record provides hope that he'll cope with both and this thriving 4yo may well take a 6lb penalty in his stride. |

1st 4 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Third in a Britannia on first run at Ascot and came through to beat a few of these on last month's return over this trip on good to soft, reversing previous Goodwood placings with Great Acclaim; raised 8lb but now 2-3 since the visor went on and still improving by the looks. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed promise for Andrew Balding last year but he's struggled in last two runs, including when last of nine on recent stable debut at Kempton (6f, AW); mark is falling but he's now 0-8 and has questions to answer. |
25/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Some promise for Andrew Balding last season but his two runs this year have been underwhelming; sold for 26,000gns in May; best watched on stable debut. |

24th Mar 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; both starts over 7f at Newmarket last backend, better effort when runner-up on heavy ground latest despite again hanging left; gelded since; alarm bells are ringing but he has clear possibilities granted further improvement. |

2nd 11 (5) |
3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Slowly away and beaten nearly 11l by a stablemate when fourth of 12 at 11-2 on recent debut over C&D (soft); however, this 1,000,000gns yearling may be a lot sharper for that run and is not ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful on the Flat, of similar ability to Road To Wembley; made hurdle debut in a race won by Sober Glory, after which he had wind surgery; chased home a promising horse at Kempton and shouldn't be far away. |

2nd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |

Took his Flat record to 3-14 with 1m2f success (RPR 82) on last appearance; sold out of Ed Walker's stable for 50,000gns later in October; market may give further guidance switched to this code. |

10st 1lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came at Bath (1m4f, good to firm) last June on his final start for Richard Hughes; failed to make an impact in four starts over hurdles for Harry Derham and he's struggled in three outings since joining this stable; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-11 but was short-headed in first-time blinkers (retained) over 1m3f here (good to firm) ten days ago, when well clear of the third; he's a contender if backing up that latest run and coping with the slower ground. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his AW form at up to 1m earlier in the year; best run since switching to turf when stepped up to 1m2f at Ayr (good) four weeks ago but he wasn't strong at the finish and it remains to be seen whether this slightly longer trip suits; wears first-time blinkers. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
An AW winner in 2024 for previous yard but he needs to improve on his turf efforts for new connections last year; lack of a recent run is another negative. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

21st Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well beaten in one run on soft ground last autumn but much more like it on his Tapeta comeback, when beating a subsequent winner (Approval, a stablemate of Rhetorical); will want to settle better upped from 8.7f but this trip should be fine on pedigree. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Badly in need of the experience at Newmarket on his debut last October (7f, soft); took a big step forward when seeing off eight rivals at Newcastle one month later, still looking to be learning on the job; step up to 1m should suit and he's a key player despite his 7lb penalty. |
