7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He was very smart on the Flat when in his prime but left Karl Burke under a cloud and has yet to get anything going for current yard, on the Flat and in two runs over hurdles; looks on a slippery slope. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
steadied start, held up in rear, steady headway from 4f out, waiting for room home turn, outpaced over 1f out, stayed on inside final furlong, went second inside final 110yds |

9th 4 (2) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on soft; can race freely but has run well at 1m6f and 2m this season; strong late bid when short-headed by Tides Of War over C&D in May, followed by fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW) and close third last Friday at Ascot (2m); usual cheekpieces (absent for last three starts) are back; a leading contender. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Mostly progressive; can race freely but he made a strong late bid when short-headed over 1m6f at Goodwood on penultimate outing and ran on from out the back (slowly away after blindfold was removed late) when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (AW) last time on step up to 2m; usual cheekpieces were removed for those last two outings; 2m now looks worth pursuing and it would not be a great surprise if improvement is resumed. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
His wins have come on good to soft (unproven on soft/heavy); dropping down the weights and the drop back in trip could help, but he was beaten a long way the last twice and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers. |
9/1 |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; tailed off on final start last term (his only run on soft) but third of six at Lingfield (11.6f, good) on reappearance this May was career-best form; 3lb lower today, following a poor show at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby Day; mixed messages there and not certain to get 1m6f. |

10st 2lb |
1m6f Listed winner at Meydan in January 2023; short of his best in 2024, however, and others are preferred despite his major fall in the weights; did not persuade for stamina on his three attempts at 2m+ (2021). |

Effective at 1m4f-1m6f; thrown in on form up to last June but tailed off at Royal Ascot and, after seven months off, below form in his three races this year; Lingfield fourth of six last month was not sufficiently encouraging and this is his first AW race for over two years. |

Listed Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; made a successful hurdle debut for this yard in early 2024 but it's been a struggle since then under both codes; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's hard to trust at the moment and others are preferred. |
