12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) in June and bounced back from a lesser run on handicap debut at Ascot when making all at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he's in good hands to continue to progress and could give another bold account up 5lb. |

25th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Yet to win but not fully exposed and he was better than the bare facts of his only start over this trip (met trouble); beaten a neck in 1m novice event at Windsor last time but interesting back up in trip returned to handicap. |

Runner-up three times in novice/maiden events at around 1m; suffered a miserable trip when fourth of eight in a 1m2f Ascot handicap last month (good; first-time cheekpieces); sets the standard back in novice company and he's a strong contender. |

10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Badly in need of the experience at Newmarket on his debut last October (7f, soft); took a big step forward when seeing off eight rivals at Newcastle one month later, still looking to be learning on the job; step up to 1m should suit and he's a key player despite his 7lb penalty. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Half-brother to 1m Group 3 winner Gold Town and he's shown promise at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Yarmouth (7f, good) in the last two of his three qualifying runs; should have more to offer for leading yard and he needs a close look on handicap debut. |
11/4 |

5th 3 (7) |
17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5-4 when fifth at Kempton (7f) but shaped much better at Windsor (1m, good to firm) despite being a market drifter (16-1); no doubt open to further progress en route to handicaps. |
15/8 |

4th 8 (8) |
10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Strong favourite for his Kempton debut 19 days ago (7f) but he was green and found wanting for pace in the straight; can leave that behind in time but others look more persuasive today. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

2 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |

10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Registered Group 1 wins at Longchamp last October (2m4f Cadran, very soft) and this May (near 2m, soft) and every bit as good when short-headed at Ascot (good to firm) earlier in May; 7-1 for the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) nine weeks ago and raced in second for a long way before cracking in the final 2f (vet reported signs of heat stress); concedes 3lb all round today but tried to go head-to-head with the best stayers around last time and they are now absent; good chance if back to form. |
2/1 |

11th 3 (11) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Huge improver last term, including second in the 1m6f handicap at this meeting and winning two Group events in the autumn, notably the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, very soft); every bit as good this season, as he gave Sweet William 2lb when short-headed here (2m, good to firm) and followed that with a narrow Group 1 win at Longchamp; today's company demands a bit more but the thorough test of stamina will suit and he's one to take seriously. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Much improved last year, best effort to land the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, soft) in October; close second in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m, good) was a fine start to this campaign and his run on good to firm at Royal Ascot last June, although subsequently eclipsed, looked excellent at the time; needs respect but concedes weight all round. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Overall record of 0-16 but he's fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles, including when second at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's been dropped another 2lb and is not ruled out. |
11/4 |

Useful on the Flat but beaten 26l and 16l in two handicaps over hurdles, the latest on good ground here; has to step up but that's realistic. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-10 but he was placed in five handicaps (1m2f-1m6f) before being pulled up at Wolverhampton 15 days ago after his saddle slipped; that's worth forgiving and the drop back to 1m4f should be fine; respected on his first go in a classified event. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not yet off the mark, but he's been placed in his last five handicaps and had little hope against a subsequent wide-margin winner at Chelmsford (1m6f) when back from a break; has stamina still to prove on Tapeta debut but this is realistic. |
