Form & Verdict
In the frame in five of his six starts, including when a close fourth of seven in a Catterick maiden (1m4f, soft) last time; needs to find a bit more now switched to a handicap, but the stable has won three of the last six runnings.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in three starts on the Kempton AW late last year, narrowly winning a maiden (1m3f) in December; out of the frame in both turf handicaps since returning (having been gelded) last month, but they were stronger races than this and he ran better than his finishing position at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Derby day; respected back up in trip.

Showed promise before easily getting off the mark in a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) last October, but having been gelded he was beaten a very long way on his handicap debut/reappearance at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) 17 days ago; may have needed the run but he will have to step up quickly.

Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure.

Just 1-18 on Flat, with mostly fair form though and he was pipped over 1m6f just 15 days ago on latest start; just as good on turf as AW; sire Golden Horn has done well with plenty of jumpers; needs a close look on hurdle debut.

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.
