1st 5 (2) |
8th May 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Well-related Derby and King Edward VII entry; green but found his stride late on to be beaten a short head by Cadogan Place when they made their debuts in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in March; breezed up from mid-division and strode out in fine style when winning a maiden at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago, at 4-5 but nevertheless highly impressive; looks well worth his place in a Classic trial. |

Showed signs of greenness when beaten a short head on his Southwell debut (1m3f, AW) last month; bred to be useful and every chance of going one better with the experience under his belt; stable won this in 2022. |

Won over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster in May but no progress since; could prove vulnerable dropping in trip. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not had lots of racing and things were looking up when edging out a useful yardstick at Doncaster in May (1m6f, good to firm), only to then not beat a rival in his next two races (1m5f/2m); back to the drawing board. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance, opening his account; last of five in 1m5f AW event since but looks likely to be better suited by this step back up in distance and return to turf; showed solid promise at Newbury on debut; may do better still and remains of interest. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat. |
20/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Owen Burrows; yet to show that level of form in this sphere but took a step forward when sixth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off a slipping mark. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Became disappointing on the Flat last year and has not shown much since switched to hurdling; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); difficult to enthuse over. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden, with in-and-out form when sent handicapping on last four starts; stays 1m6f on good to soft but not so hot when finishing 13l behind the winner on heavy ground latest outing and he was also below form on sole attempt at 2m; today's switch of headgear might be a positive. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |

prominent, led after 2f, pushed along and headed over 2f out, soon no chance with winner |
11/2 |

2nd 10 (10) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW debut (20-1) over 2m last time did not go well but he showed fair form in four of five previous races, including when staying-on fourth of six in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f) on penultimate outing; now swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and he's not entirely ruled out. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who easily won a handicap at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in December and didn't run badly when last of seven at 150-1 in Group 3 Aston Park at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month; however, he faces another tough task in this Listed event and is best watched. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came over this C&D in July and he again ran well when third of 11 at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; may not have reached his ceiling yet and he's an interesting contender in receipt of weight. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (12) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when off the mark in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) in July, always prominent; last of six when 20-1 and front-running at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) two weeks later, beaten only 7l but he now has something to prove on turf. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when beating the two market leaders in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) two weeks ago; up 6lb but that was a clearcut success last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; big player. |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seventh start when off the mark in handicap at Newcastle (upped to 2m, Tapeta) early this month but a heavy defeat at Kempton 13 days ago continued his inconsistent record in handicaps. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Good effort here (1m4f) on second start but he ran poorly on a subsequent course start; very mixed in turf handicaps since but the step up to 2m on Tapeta debut at Newcastle recently saw his staying qualities come to the fore; back up 3lb but a major player if holding his form. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won two out of three AW handicaps in 2024, coming well clear at Southwell (about 2m) last September; raised 9lb and wasn't seen again until last month, when finishing well held over an inadequate 1m4f on Newcastle AW; likely to be seen to better advantage this time. |
9/2 |

3 (4) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won twice on the Southwell Tapeta (1m6f/16.5f) last August/September; 9lb higher on this return from ten months off and not sure the drop in trip is in his favour. |
