12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) in July; the step up to 1m could suit and he's been drawn wide in big-field nurseries at Goodwood and York the last twice, but he needs to take a sizeable step forward from those performances. |

Came good with blinkers added in 7f Chester nursery last month; drawn wide and made some late headway to finish seventh of 16 in Glorious Goodwood nursery since; that suggests he's still in good form but he again hasn't fared too well with the draw. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner in the autumn and was a close third at Southwell (1m4f) on his penultimate run in January; left the Muir/Grassick stable for 17,000gns the following month; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his last win and he needs a close look for new yard; tongue-tie reapplied. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Successful in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last autumn and there have been some good runs in defeat since, including over 1m4f here 17 days ago; well positioned in that steadily run race and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
4/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden; two respectable efforts on soft at about 1m across August and September but he was beaten a long way a fortnight ago and that was the third time this season he's suffered a heavy defeat on good ground; cheekpieces removed for this AW debut. |

8st 12lb |
0-10 and she hasn't been able to match a respectable third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January, latterly when weakening over that trip at Leicester (good to soft) a fortnight ago; might do better for that first start in 103 days and should stay this trip on pedigree. |

9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |

Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |

Ran well on very soft going on his French debut in the spring and returned to those levels when edging out Al Waseela on rain-softened ground last time (first-time cheekpieces; retained); holds fair claims upped 3lb. |

10th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Third of seven on debut in a Fontainebleau claimer (5.5f, very soft) in May but similar form only once from four starts in Britain, when about 3l fifth of six in nursery at Chester (7f, good to soft) on penultimate start; tried blinkers latest (well beaten) and now has cheekpieces. |

11th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Third of seven in a Fontainebleau claimer (5.5f, very soft) in May, but out of the frame in three starts in this country albeit was only beaten around 3l in a 0-85 nursery at Chester (7f, good to soft) last month; not ruled out down in grade with blinkers given a go. |

9st 5lb |
Now 5lb lower than when placed in 7f Newmarket nursery for Ralph Beckett in the autumn but that was on soft ground and he is yet to strike form after two runs for new stable this year; eased in grade here; still needs to up his game. |
10/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Generally kept to softer ground by Ralph Beckett last year and was turned over at odds-on in one start on good to firm; off four months since an ordinary debut for his new, in-form yard (which picked him up for 22,000gns) in a Polytrack maiden; market useful. |
