24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |

Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |

Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Promising 2yo, including a Listed third on heavy ground, but he's made little impact in three good handicaps this year; dropping down the weights but others bring stronger credentials. |

His 2yo win came on soft ground over 6f; showed he could handle faster conditions when a close fifth at Windsor 18 days ago, but hard pressed to say he's well-enough treated to win a race like this. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a 7f Listed race here (good to soft) for Andrew Balding in 2024; still capable of smart performances for Marco Botti last year but wasn't at his best on final two starts, including in a course seller; sold for 45,000gns in October; a Group 1 entry at Royal Ascot suggests new connections are hopeful he retains all his ability. |

3rd 4 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two pieces of form at Wolverhampton in 2025 that give him outstanding claims at these weights, namely close thirds in a 7f Listed race and a strong 6f handicap; not so good on his last three starts and alarm bells were ringing when he was dropped into selling company at Chester 11 days ago, a race where he was a disappointing fourth; too much ability to discount but there are risks involved. |

Three wins for two previous yards and the first for this one when winning narrowly at Newmarket (6f, good) in September, following a protracted slog with the runner-up; comes here fit from the AW but he'll need a bit extra to win in a higher grade than at Newmarket. |

Disappointing at Newcastle in January; had earlier dug deep to win a Newmarket handicap (6f, good) on his final 4yo outing; third in this race 12 months ago and can't be discounted. |

Ran three times last year, posting a Listed second in October (6f, soft; behind Purosangue), and reappeared with a win in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month, showing pace; surplus stamina will be no bad thing in today's conditions and he can give another good account. |

Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |

Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |

22th 10 (6) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |
