11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His brother Cross Counter won the 2m Melbourne Cup; never posed the slightest threat when upped to 1m6f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time but he was drawn wide and ran on late from the rear into seventh of 16, recording his best RPR; this race is a bit less competitive and his previous success has come when ridden much more prominently. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Weakened when upped to 1m4f at Meydan in February last time, so stamina is a doubt; however, this lightly raced 4yo was progressive over 1m2f previously (good to firm/good to soft) and his brother Cross Counter won the 2m Melbourne Cup for his top connections; retains potential; interesting. |

25th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Never made his debut until February but won his first two, both novices at about 1m2f; tailed off next time in a Listed race and again failed to offer much on handicap debut at Newmarket's July festival; now has a good bit to prove. |

11st 12lb |
Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Bought for 10,000gns after losing his form in two starts following a breakthrough Flat win at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in August for David O'Meara; others more likely. |

15th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Godolphin newcomer; by Dubawi and the first foal of an unraced half-sister to Listed-placed 1m/1m2f AW winner Al Aguila and daughter of UAE 1m1f Group 2 winner; interesting, particularly if strong in the betting. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y |
11st 9lb |
Hit the frame in a maiden hurdle at Catterick in January and sixth in a much deeper race at Navan subsequently; didn't beat a rival on the Flat last month but that may have just been a pipe opener for his return to this sphere; not ruled out on handicap debut with cheekpieces fitted. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Soundly beaten over hurdles on his last three starts; best British Flat form was at 1m4f; questions to answer dropped to 7f. |
14/1 |

5th 6 |
19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 2lb |
Rated 69 on the Flat; built on a middling hurdles debut at Listowel to finish an 8l fourth of seven at Down Royal when running too keenly and fading late on (2m4f, good to firm); return to this distance may suit and not totally ruled out. |
10/1 |
