2nd 2 (3) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Showed some high-class form last year, including when beaten less than a length by Daryz in the Prix Egene Adam; hit the big time when making all to win the Group 1 Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern by 7l at Munich (1m4f, soft) in November; huge run at Chester when conceding weight all around, just going down by a neck to last year's dual Derby winner Lambourn; ideally suited by softer ground and a bit to find on ratings but he's clearly in top form. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Showed some high-class form last year including when beaten less than a length by Daryz in the Prix Egene Adam; hit the big time when making all to win the Group 1 Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern by 7l at Munich (1m4f, soft) in November; his 5lb penalty won't make things easy and this should set him up nicely for bigger targets ahead, but he goes well fresh and shouldn't be underestimated. |

9st 3lb |
Has made the frame in all four races, showing best form on turf the first two times; particularly solid effort (second to subsequent Group 2 scorer) at Sandown on debut; sets a clear standard back in this sphere. |

1st 1 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
650,000euros yearling; clear promise with his two frame efforts last summer and he found improvement after a gelding operation when keeping on well to beat his 15 rivals at Doncaster (1m, good) last month; still has plenty of potential and he's an interesting contender upped in trip on handicap debut. |
11/4 |
|
7 (6) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
550,000euros foal, 650,000euros yearling; has a striking pedigree and he showed plenty of promise when reaching the frame at Sandown (7f) and Newbury (1m) last summer; been gelded since but his form has plenty of substance and he sets the standard on his return; key player. |
5/1 |
|
5 (2) |
20th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
550,000euros foal, 650,000euros yearling; useful pedigree; made the frame at Sandown (7f) and Newbury (1m) last summer, and the form has received several boosts; gelded since; leading player on reappearance. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Solid in three handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and despite being beaten about 7l last time the headline-grabbing winner took up over six of them; looks likely to make his presence felt. |
5/2 |
|
3 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Competitive in two handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and his Hamilton conqueror last time was unexposed; has a race in him off this mark and he's proven on soft ground. |
9/2 |
|
5 (2) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Only 3l away in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup before coming from off the pace to win a Sandown maiden by 3l (1m2f, good to firm); strong in the betting for a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth where the ground was soft and he endured a wide trip; remains of interest. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Steadily getting better and he went down only narrowly in eight-runner novice at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; has plenty of speed in his pedigree but shapes as if he'll stay this longer distance; open to further improvement and commands major respect on handicap debut. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable efforts when fifth in a 7f Sandown novice (good to firm) and fourth in Newmarket novice (7f, good); needs to improve to win this. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Raced prominently but dropped away to be beaten 5l at Sandown (7f, good to firm; 20-1) three weeks ago; market weakness was another feature in that debut; entitled to show more second time out. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Out of a half-sister to a US Grade 1 winner; showed some promise in his qualifying runs, including when third of 12 on Chelmsford reappearance (1m, AW) last month; made some good late headway in that race and he looks interesting now upped to 1m2f on handicap debut. |
3/1 |
|
3 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Out of a half-sister to a US Grade 1 winner; failed to build upon quite promising 2yo debut when down the field here (7f) in November and has not raced again since; probably still has potential but is tricky to weigh up on this reappearance outing; gelded in April. |

7th 10 |
8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Was badly regressive on the Flat last autumn and can only be watched on hurdles debut. |

17th 14 (9) |
21st Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
First two runs for Charles Hills were decent, both at 7f on good to firm; two poor recent runs for current yard over longer trips and now drops markedly in distance. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
1-4 when winning a Ripon maiden (1m4f, good) in April on second start; last of six in a Newmarket novice (1m4f, good to firm) one month later was disappointing and headgear goes on for this handicap debut; early days. |
4/1 |
|
2 (3) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
One run last year and showed improved form to win at 1-4 on last month's return at Ripon (1m4f, good); needs another step forward to defy a penalty today but this 250,000gns yearling could have lots more left in the tank. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden; respectable fifth over 1m3f at Kempton 17 days ago but Sonnerie Power and Voix De Bocelli were ahead of him; first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are now replaced by blinkers. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; showed broadly progressive form as a 2yo but has gone the other way this season; may be helped by this drop in grade off a reduced mark. |
12/1 |
|
7 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Suffered a near miss on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) but has finished a well-held sixth in two runs since being gelded and this could be tougher again; what might help is now going beyond 1m, being a son of Ulysses. |

0-10, but twice ran well to make the frame on Polytrack (1m2f/1m3f) in September and met trouble when seventh of 13 over C&D ten days ago; not dismissed. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Soundly beaten upped to 1m4f (wide trip) last time so drop back in trip will likely suit and he has each-way claims in an open event. |

11st 3lb |
0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here. |
7/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Modest maiden on Flat and a similar story over hurdles, all maidens; handicaps are now a better option but he's unconvincing. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Modest maiden on Flat; reached the frame on the first of two hurdle outings at Huntingdon in recent months but the form is barely modest; more needed. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three 7f wins this year, including on Tapeta, and only 1lb higher than for the latest; well short of his best on his last two runs (slowly away latest); revival not out of the question. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Three wins over 7f this season, the first on Tapeta at Newcastle and the last two (Chepstow, Brighton) on fast ground; not at his best on Tapeta last time but could still go well. |
