5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; third of six in Listed race at Sandown (soft) next time but he's struggled in last two runs (Group 2/Listed) and has been gelded since; passed over. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; third of six in Listed race over this C&D (soft) in May but well beaten in the Group 2 Coventry at Royal Ascot and his limitations are likely to be exposed once more. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
16-1 debut winner at Doncaster (5f, soft); faced the same scenario but at Listed level at Sandown and wasn't out of his depth, staying on well for third from an unpromising position; stepping up to 6f looks the way to go and he's not without hope of outrunning his odds, provided stall 1 (from which The Wow Signal obliged ten years ago) is no drawback; tongue-tie added. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed ability on the Flat (5f-7f), second on first two starts, but well beaten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f; first-time cheekpieces/gelded) last November after a break; stamina is a major concern on this first run since, making his hurdle debut. |

9st 11lb |
Close third of 15 in Brocklesby on debut in March but both 5f runs in April were disappointing; hiked up in trip for this nursery/AW debut and not an easy filly to weigh up on first start for 163 days. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins on heavy or soft going and his career surged forward on last three starts of 2025 when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown and Newbury before his third of 22 off this mark over 1m4f in the November Handicap here; still interesting off this mark and returning to 1m2f looks fine but there's a question of whether the ground will be soft enough. |
4/1 |
|

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1-4 for another yard last spring and the same for the Moores this May-September; the two wins were on heavy and soft, including in nine-runner race at Sandown (1m2f) on latest outing when he came from off the pace and scampered just over 5l clear; 10lb higher today but needs plenty of respect after that big career best on similar ground. |
7/2 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Won over 5f on heavy at two when in a different yard; didn't look overly in love with Epsom last time (1m2f, good) and yet was only beaten 3.5l and the winner followed up at Doncaster last weekend. |

4th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Came closest to winning when beaten a length into second of seven at Lingfield (6f, soft) in July, but not so effective on fast ground there a fortnight later; ran with credit when fourth of eight at Kempton (5f, Polytrack) in April and one for the shortlist in new headgear combination. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Not wildly progressive since her Brocklesby fifth, but a 1l second on this month's C&D nursery debut (soft) was career-best form, and all the more meritworthy considering she'd turned out 24 hours earlier; offered little on sole previous start on a sound surface, albeit over 7f. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) in July; the step up to 1m could suit and he's been drawn wide in big-field nurseries at Goodwood and York the last twice, but he needs to take a sizeable step forward from those performances. |
20/1 |
|
15th 15 (16) |
22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Came good with blinkers added in 7f Chester nursery last month; drawn wide and made some late headway to finish seventh of 16 in Glorious Goodwood nursery since; that suggests he's still in good form but he again hasn't fared too well with the draw. |

Prominent racer who ran his best race when second of ten at Windsor (5f, good) in mid-April, his third start; beaten favourite dropped into a seller at Goodwood on Sunday (played up beforehand; hooded, now left off); form claims upped to 6f if back to that Windsor level. |

Beaten 9l and 7l in two nursery runs this summer but a stiff 7.5f stretched his stamina last time and he was up against a handicap blot at Thirsk; gelded since latest start; interesting at this level with cheekpieces now added; AW debut. |

Best efforts have come under aggressive rides over 5f on Polytrack; achieved little in three runs on turf, including in blinkers last time, and reverts to the usual cheekpieces today (first-time tongue-tie added); bit to find at the weights. |
