9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Novice and handicap (7f) winner on AW here, latterly in December when sporting first-time blinkers (retained); respectable ninth of 21 when 66-1 for the Lincoln in March and it was another solid effort when third in Class 2 handicap (1m, good) at Newmarket's Craven meeting; can't be ruled out. |

3rd 6 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner including of a good-ground 1m handicap in June 2024; first-time blinkers when doing well to win 7f AW handicap (now just 1lb higher) narrowly in December; low-key AW return in March but it was a fair effort when ninth in the Lincoln (1m, good to soft) three weeks later; fitness guaranteed. |

9th 20 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last September and at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December, and he scored over 1m in 2024; however, he has an up-and-down profile and was well beaten on his reappearance three weeks ago (8.6f, AW); this is tougher than he's used to and he may be best watched. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkered when he hit a run of second spots at 7f and 1m last summer, including here (soft; acts on good to firm) in September; had previously looked unlucky on a couple of those occasions and the blinkers were absent when never figuring at Lingfield ten days ago; might do better with that aid now refitted and he's dangerously handicapped; watch the market. |

Justified favouritism with 1l success in similar event over C&D three weeks ago, taking well to the surface and opening his account at the third attempt; may well improve further; respected under 4lb penalty. |

Encouraging third of seven on debut at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in August; took backward step when fifth of nine at Ripon (6f, good) but it's still early days and he's not written off; Hollie Doyle rides. |

Runner-up in three consecutive starts over 7f/1m on AW during the winter; beaten a long way in two turf outings in April and although he performed better when fifth of ten here (7f) three weeks ago (just behind Spun To Gold), he will still need to find more in order to get off the mark. |

Tailed off on recent turf debut at Bath but that was on heavy ground; progressive on AW previously, finishing second at Lingfield (1m) in January in his first handicap, and he's worth another go on grass; a possible. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
On the premises this season in his two handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and one at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); half-brother to smart Sumo Sam, who flourished over 1m6f last season, and there are notable stayers in the family, which boosts his interest substantially. |

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. |

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. |
