3rd 8 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good) last June and kept on well for third in the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) later that month; absent since but this lightly raced 4yo could be suited by the step up in trip and he's a major player if ready to rumble after his absence. |
7/2 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Made all in a Group 3 at Chantilly (1m1f, good) on final 2yo start; has matured into a high-class performer, outrunning his odds on two occasions, 25-1 when making Lambourn work for victory in the Chester Vase and 50-1 when chasing home the same opponent in the Derby; stays well and would benefit from further easing in the ground. |
10/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Sizeable advance in form when making all in a Group 3 at Chantilly (1m1f, good) on final 2yo start and he looked to have gone the right way over the winter on reappearance in Group 3 Chester Vase (about 1m4f, good) when it wasn't a breeze for Lambourn to get past him; aims much higher now, though. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed at 6f; this mark is in range judged on his two placed efforts this winter; failed to fire on Good Friday but he received a kick before the start which won't have helped; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
9th 12 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Impressed at Southwell last October when dropped back to 6f; two solid efforts in defeat this year and this stiff test at the trip should be beneficial; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two fine runs since dropped back to 6f, winning easily at Southwell in October and running well from a wide stall back there on New Year's Day; not fully exposed and he is high on the list. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins during last season's progressive 3yo campaign (7f-1m); he's edging back down the weights but has failed to shine on his three runs this term and needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five handicap wins (7f to 1m; four in a hood) in a productive 2025, including on a fast surface, and he looked unlucky when third of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy; Kaleido ninth) in July; probably needed reappearance in March and likely didn't stay 1m2f when never competitive three weeks later; this mark demands a return to his best, though. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't progress as may have been expected following a 1m win at Southwell last March; dropped away to finish eighth of the nine runners on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m); enough to prove for now. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last March and runner-up at Ayr in September on final run for Kevin Ryan; sold for 10,000GBP in October; lacks a recent outing but is not ruled out on his stable debut. |
12/1 |

8 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his last four starts but those have been over 1m2f-1m4f and this 3yo is back down to the same mark as for his win at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; not written off now back down in distance. |

No instant improvement for the switch to nurseries when 11th of 12 over C&D last month; dropped 3lb and now goes in blinkers; still early days. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Found 7f beyond him on debut, likewise this trip on heavy ground last time; from a decent sprinting family and ought to fare better now handicapping at a lowly level. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over about 1m6f last September; low-key seasonal return last month but he fared better, albeit beaten at a short price, at Nottingham 18 days ago; shouldn't be too far away. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Tailed off on Musselburgh reappearance (1m6f, soft) last month but that was a rare blip and he's feasibly treated on his best form last season including two wins over this trip (good); dangerous if he can bounce back. |
13/8 |
|
10th 11 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Highly reliable in handicaps, with 1m6f doing the trick when he won on good ground at Haydock and Chester in space of a week last September; needs to resume progress but enters calculations. |
