20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Listed winner for Karl Burke (1m2f, good) last May and he's gone very close in Listed races this summer on his first two runs for William Haggas (1m2f/11.4f, good to firm), making the running each time; has shown promise on good to soft (unraced on softer); might not be far away. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Newmarket Listed event (1m2f, good) for Karl Burke in May last year; sold for 520,000gns last autumn and having been gelded he made a fine return/stable debut when beaten a nose in a Sandown Listed contest (1m2f, good to firm) in June; much respected if building on that; holds a Qipco Champion Stakes entry. |

1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Record of only 1-8 for Andrew Balding and has looked quirky but he appeared to run very well in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft; 50-1 fifth of 16) most recently; has since changed ownership and stable; leading claims provided the Epsom effort is backed up. |
4/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
His 2yo season was chaotic at times, including when winning a 1m AW novice, but there was no sign of awkwardness here on final 2yo start, nor when bearing up well in a tight finish to 1m Listed AW race on return; made most of the running and kept on steadily in 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket (good) since and this step up in trip should suit on pedigree; needs to find much more but the yard's outsiders have proved well worth a look in this race. |
50/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
3rd May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Quirky at times last year but proved straightforward in Newcastle Listed race (1m, AW) on reappearance, finishing a good second; bred to stay this new trip; possibilities provided he goes the right way. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Without a win since his second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since as when beaten a length into third of 24 in the Newbury Spring Cup (1m, good ) last month; Ryan Moore keeps the ride and rain shouldn't be an issue, but the draw could have been kinder. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 16 (22) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
On a 14-race losing sequence but he was runner-up three times last term, including when beaten a head at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good); went off third favourite in a big field at the Curragh on reappearance but didn't give his running; on a retrieval mission with Ryan Moore booked. |
12/1 |

11th 5 (7) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
0-13 since winning in 2023 on his second start but he went close at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last August and again finished second at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft); an interesting runner despite uneven form. |

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. |

3rd May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The only maiden in this field, being 0-3, albeit has shown clear promise, most recently staying-on third at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) on seasonal debut; has the worst chance on bare ratings, upped in class. |

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. |
9/2 |

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. |
16/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
25th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
