21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |

10th 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has left an imprint on some of the best-known handicaps, such as when only just losing out in the Victoria Cup over C&D (good) in May 2024; has not aspired to those heights in 2025 but he's 9lb lower than for the aforementioned run and promising Warren Fentiman claims 5lb; one to keep an eye on. |
12/1 |

11th 5 (10) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Numerous fine efforts in top handicaps, runner-up in the 2023 Ayr Gold Cup and filling the same berth in last year's Victoria Cup and Great St Wilfrid; not sparkled in two 7f handicaps this season but he's dropped a handy 5lb and his rider claims a valuable 3lb too; better expected this time. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
His strike-rate is an unimpressive 3-26 but he's seldom far away and last October's excellent second in a top handicap over C&D preceded an AW Listed win; came up short at Doha and Meydan early this year but showed enough to suggest he should be on the premises. |
6/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
This is his first run since April and he has a lofty mark, but he won a Group 3 at Haydock (1m, good) last September and has a history of running well off big weights in handicaps; likes it here; not ruled out. |
18/1 |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won the International at Ascot and a 6.5f course handicap on soft at the St Leger meeting in a very good 2023 campaign; has failed to hit the same heights this year but now dangerously well handicapped and recent efforts have been a bit better. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He's had a disappointing campaign but has dropped down the weights and took a big step back in the right direction in first-time blinkers (retained) when a close fourth at Ripon (6f, soft) last Saturday, having been slowly away; this course winner may be able to build on that latest performance. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
It's been a struggle for him so far this year, including back under favourable conditions at Doncaster 13 days ago, but he's down to a good mark and possible the switch to blinkers will pique his interest. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Last year's Golden Mile win at Goodwood (strong record there) shows he's still smart on his day; respectable return to action when fifth in good conditions race over 7f here three weeks ago but he's gained the vast majority of his ten career wins on slower ground than he's likely to encounter this afternoon. |
