7th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Main claim to fame is his early departure in the Derby; achieved little in two runs afterwards but appreciated the drop in grade to be third at Newbury (Class 3 1m2f, good to firm); there are races in him off an untouched mark. |

9st 9lb |
Won novice at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) on debut in April; stumbled and unseated leaving the stalls in the Derby (again 28-1) next time, leading the field home riderless on that occasion but he was tailed off in the Group 2 King Edward VII at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 18-1) after racing freely; needs to put that latest run miles behind him. |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise on his second 2yo run (1m, good to firm) and again on his reappearance when third at Newbury in April (1m2f, good to soft); tailed off in a Listed event at the Guineas meeting; leading form claims but he will need to a return to his best. |

9st 2lb |
Tailed off last June in the Derby and 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting; gelded and reappeared this season with two improved performances in 2m handicaps on good ground at Goodwood, winning the first in emphatic style and collared close home by Manxman on latest; up another 2lb but another bold show may well be on its way. |

15th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
1-5 for Richard Hannon and now 1-4 for current yard after prevailing in good style at Newcastle (1m4f, AW debut) five weeks ago; seemed to act on a range of ground on turf before that (won a maiden on heavy) but that AW run was a significant advance and he's now gone back up 7lb. |

11th May 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

1-5 for Richard Hannon and 0-3 for current yard; edging down the weights and it's possible he can build on his fair reappearance two weeks ago, but he did start favourite that day; stays 1m4f but this is his AW debut. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Had 1m2f wins last May and September, latterly having to bide her time when she scored in last-gasp fashion at Haydock (good to soft; acts on good to firm) and she's 3lb higher today; C&D reappearance looked promising in April, followed by rather a shocker when favourite at Chester four weeks ago but it's too early to forget the previous encouragement. |

Had 1m2f wins last May and September, latterly having to bide her time when she scored in last-gasp fashion at Haydock (good to soft; acts on good to firm); needs to improve but that's possible in this second season handicapping and her close fourth of six at Epsom (1m2f, good) 17 days ago, when outsider of the party, looked a promising first step; major player. |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps as yet, including dropped into a Class 5 at Southwell three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and his novice runs do offer hope of better at some point. |

10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Did it well when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December, but having been sent off 15-8 favourite he proved disappointing when only beating one home on his Newbury reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in April; returns from a gelding operation with something to prove. |

19th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

750,000gns yearling; brother to 7f/1m winner Noble Dynasty (RPR 113), half-brother to winners including Barney Roy (7f-1m4f including Group 1; 124); 8-11 for maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and always front rank before rallying past the runner-up; looks sure to stay 1m2f and a useful prospect at the least. |

Has run just twice since finishing fourth on debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last April and he's yet to build on that initial promise; however, he's in top hands and is bred to be better than his opening mark. |

Hasn't had much racing; some ability over shorter at Wolverhampton on debut last April, but withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Newbury later the same month; subsequently gelded; finished weakly in 1m4f Newcastle novice when resuming in December and off again since; still, he is being persevered with by leading connections. |
