30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
10st 2lb |
His seven wins include this race in 2024; added a valuable handicap in Bahrain over the winter; bounced back to form after a break when winning a C&D Listed race last month but found Group 2 company too tough at the Curragh last weekend; this is easier despite his hefty weight. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Still short of his best form but last month's midfield finish at Southwell was a step back in the right direction; 2lb lower today and no surprise to see him in the shake up. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on the pick of his form which includes a win here, but he arrives under a cloud; finished last on Sunday and hard to fancy. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No longer the force of old but was close third off today's career-low mark here (6f, good) eight days ago; eased in grade today and can handle the drop back to 5f; must be considered. |
5/2 |

3rd 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came at York when trained by Richard Hannon; denied a clear run when finishing fifth of ten at Sandown (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark but may be getting his act together. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-9 since his early 2yo wins and has lacked consistency this season; good chance off current mark, provided he's suited by the step up to 7f. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (9) |
28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-8 since his early 2yo wins; however, ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f) most recently and has possibilities in the retained headgear dropped in class. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
9th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 since winning his first two races when with Alice Haynes; signs of a resurgence (after being gelded) when close up over C&D in June and can be excused the following effort on his first taste of Chester; could have a part to play in the new cheekpieces. |

8th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins on good ground, latest at Bath (5.7f) in May during a consistent spell; form dipped in last three runs, latest with tongue-tie applied (retained); needs to rebound. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins on good ground, latest over C&D in May during a consistent spell; form dipped the last twice; chance of rebound depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has been placed on soft but both wins on good, most recently at Bath (extended 5f) in May; mostly consistent otherwise but he was nowhere near his best at Brighton recently so that needs overlooking. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained both wins at Newcastle in 2024; failed to beat a rival there in last two starts during a light 2025 campaign; drops in class but doesn't look the percentage call. |

pressed leaders on near side of group, led narrowly halfway, headed over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong |

8th 5 (8) |
31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Showed little on his last three starts in 2024 but there was a bit more promise in his C&D third 17 days ago (finished ahead of Show Me Show Me and Darlo Pride); visor swapped for blinkers today; not ruled out. |
