2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 7lb |
Third reserve; second to Vanillier in P P Hogan Memorial over C&D in February and most recently a close third (beaten 1.25l) to Busselton in 4m1f La Touche here on Thursday; big player if turning out again. |

3rd 13 |
30th Apr 2026 Yielding 4m 1f 11y |
11st 7lb |
Fourth behind Stumptown in the 2025 Glenfarclas Chase; went on to finish third in the Topham and fifth in this race; twice second over the shorter course here this season, behind Desertmore House in November and behind Vanillier in February; may rebound after below-par effort at Cheltenham. |
4/1 |

10th 13 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Has made the frame at two Cheltenham Festivals, more recently when staying on from long way off the pace to take fourth behind Stumptown in this race in 2025 (good to soft); returns here after a pretty good second to Vanillier on Bank course at Punchestown (3m1f, soft to heavy) but, from out of the weights, is effectively 5lb higher than last year; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last month, finishing third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm; albeit no match for the winner); could give a good account but needs others to underperform if he's to come out on top. |
6/1 |

3 (7) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Proven in this headgear; pays his way under both codes and, if able to reproduce his effort here on Tuesday when hitting the line well for third in the 1m6f Copper Horse Stakes (good to firm), then he won't be far away on these favourable terms; the grey areas are inconsistency and the extra 7f (he did run over 3m over jumps) but he's one of only a few with realistic ambitions of winning. |
11/2 |

3 (5) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
In rude health last summer, including when second off this mark in competitive handicap at York (2m, good to firm); won over hurdles in January but his form has been mixed since across both codes; below best back on Flat last time. |

Winner in May the past two years, including a weak Huntingdon hunter chase in 2024 (good to soft); recent return at Charm Park may therefore have been needed, though didn't show sufficient to interest here even so. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Has some useful French/British form on his CV but struggled in Ireland last season; won three-runner hunter chase for latest new stable at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last week but recorded a very slow time, and the value of that form is open to question. |

Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |

Started off for Andrew Hamilton with three heavy defeats but last month's third at Perth (3m, good) was a big step back in the right direction; may benefit from today's drop back in trip and can cope if there's rain about; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |
