16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very useful colt whose 2yo form featured a success in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) and close third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (1m, firm); big player on the figures and may rate higher still. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Very smart 2yo who has lost his way but off a much reduced mark he was a close fourth at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) after being well backed; he might well have won that race on another day as he hit some traffic. |
6/4 |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Scored on his debut here in June 2024 but without a victory since and fitted with eyeshields when failing to beat a rival in 7f Wolverhampton handicap last time; hard to warm to. |
20/1 |

12th 9 (8) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Runner-up in Group 2 company on his second start (when with Hugo Palmer); tumbled down the weights in 2025 and this month's return to action didn't hint that he was ready to take advantage; eyeshield now added; betting should guide. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the Gimcrack as a 2yo (Group 2; form worked out well); better than ever on AW earlier in the year, making most in a 7f Listed event at Wolverhampton in March; 15-2 fourth favourite for a York Group 2 ten days ago but found nothing when asked for his effort, eventually coming home in his own time; has the ability to go well despite a penalty but he does have a point to prove all of a sudden. |
7/1 |
|
13th 5 (11) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Missed last season; retains every ounce of ability judged on AW performances this year, last time landing a Listed prize at Wolverhampton (7f) to take his overall record to 3-6; possibly still has further improvement in him; interesting returned to the C&D of his 2024 Gimcrack win. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
6f AW win on his 2yo debut; took his form to another level when winning the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York; returned from a 526-day absence with a good third in a 6f Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and he should be sharper today; drawn widest back up at 7f but still a leading contender. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had bits of Group form as a 2yo but his record in handicaps (7f/1m) this term comprises three duck eggs; has lots to prove and may be best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (5) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Lots to like about his profile at two (6f/7f) but has finished well down the field in 7f/1m handicaps this term, latterly tried in cheekpieces. |
50/1 |
|
14th 6 (13) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Some useful efforts as a 2yo but he has a doubt over current form, having failed to beat a rival in sole run this term (AW debut); wears first-time headgear and steps up in trip. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Down in weights and step back in the right direction when second of nine at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; has handicapping scope if able to build on that. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Dropping down the weights but with some justification; likely to come good again at some stage but others appeal more today. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Last of seven in Lingfield Class 2 (6f, Polytrack) on reappearance and just mid-division when back on turf at Doncaster (7f) 12 days ago; that took his record to 0-9 since debut win but this represents his easiest task for a while; due a further 2lb drop but still needs a second look. |

30th Apr 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Went very close in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes over C&D (good to firm) at last year's Royal meeting and he got back on track with a Group 3 win at Chantilly (6f, good) last September when last seen; reappears with yard in fine form and he could play a leading role. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
£220,000 breeze-up buy; won at Ayr and ran on strongly to miss out narrowly at Royal Ascot in the Coventry (6f, good to firm; Cool Hoof Luke close up) in which the winner raced on a different part of the track; however, that race was dominated by outsiders in a modest time and he was alarmingly weak in the betting before beating only one home in the July Stakes at Newmarket behind Aomori City; could improve for today's longer trip but he'll need to. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Perhaps in need of the run when eighth of 13 behind Hucklesbrook at Leicester on return in May and left that behind him when readily seeing off his 13 rivals at Windsor last month (6f, good to firm); that race has thrown up some winners and a 7lb rise looks justified but he is in much deeper this time. |
14/1 |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Salisbury last June but had a setback after that (source Racing Post stable tour); eighth of 13 on first run for ten months at Leicester (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and should build on that. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (6) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Salisbury win last summer has been well advertised since and his subsequent Group 2 effort is likely best overlooked (trapped deep and pulled hard over 7f); since been gelded and still has potential now handicapping back from ten months off. |
