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. |

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. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Looked a useful prospect on good ground last spring and confirmed it on AW in recent outings; dictated a steady pace when winning the Easter Classic Handicap at Newcastle (1m2f) four weeks ago; 4lb higher today but lightly raced and could continue on his upward curve. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Early promise for the Gosdens included a 1m4f novice win at Southwell in April 2024 but he failed by a long chalk to hold his own in handicaps at 1m6f (turf) and back at Southwell (1m4f); sold for 32,000gns in October; likely to need this on Polytrack debut. |
25/1 |

10th 6 (3) |
5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when easily winning a C&D novice in April; disappointed when upped to 1m6f and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) for handicap debut at Doncaster in June but was gelded during subsequent four-month break and remains of interest. |

18th Apr 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
2,800,000gns yearling; Frankel colt; dam, 1m-1m2f winner (including Group 3; RPR 118), sister to 7f/1m Group 1 winner Too Darn Hot and 1m2f Group 2 winner Lah Ti Dar; 1-3 for 11-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and dismissed weak opposition, leading final 1f and ending well on top; the others in this (including Endless Victory, who looks the stable first string) had better debut form but this one could be a major improver. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second in Group 3 contest at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last time but this is a better race for the grade; inconsistent otherwise this term; returns to AW for first time since debut win. |
14/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Well below form on his sole run on softer than good; last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood; held up and never got into it in 16-runner Listed event at Royal Ascot next time; chance relies on that one Goodwood run. |

26th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded after three quiet runs in 1m2f maidens and heavy ground was perhaps against him on handicap debut over 2m at Chester (11-1); couldn't rule out. |
8/1 |

7th 13 (6) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big odds, slowly away and always behind over about 1m2f on good ground at Newmarket, Chester and Newbury this spring; gelded in June; makes his handicap debut over 6f further, in first-time headgear and on different ground, so there would be explanations were he to improve. |

Useful juvenile hurdler in the 2023-24 season, having won in Listed grade and finishing third in the Fred Winter; ran well at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) returned to the Flat last time; future mark 2lb higher; respected. |
