13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Champion 2yo last season, having won the Middle Park and Dewhurst (both on soft ground), and he ran well in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; rather a disappointing favourite in the 6f Commonwealth Cup, then couldn't quite get the job done in the 7f Prix Jean Prat having held every chance; drops back from Group 1 level with leading claims on best form. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won two Group 1s at Newmarket last autumn (6f/7f, soft), namely the Middle Park and the Dewhurst; reappeared with excellent third in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good), where he was outstayed by the first two; unraced on fast ground; has the potential to be a top-class sprinter. |

3rd 8 (2) |
3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Good-ground wins on first two runs before close second in Group 2 Gimcrack (6f, good), then enjoyed stellar autumn here with Group 1 wins in the Middle Park (6f, soft) and Dewhurst (7f, soft), becoming Champion Two-Year-Old; had a racecourse gallop here last month; stayed on well in the Dewhurst which provides optimism he'll see out 1m; a tongue-tie goes on; could have a big say, even though William Buick rides stablemate Ruling Court. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Lightly raced 4yo with something of an all-or-nothing profile; put everything together when bolting up at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn; might have needed the run when only ninth of 13 at Newmarket on reappearance; leading claims if building on that and cheekpieces may give him a lift. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Gelded prior to his autumn starts, winning at Haydock (6f) then perhaps hindered by heavy ground at Doncaster; lightly raced, in excellent hands and may still have further progress in him; remains of interest. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on his warm spell (finishing positions 112) last summer; not in anything like the same form this year for new yard, however, and is best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

11th 9 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two 7f wins for Mick Appleby last summer; back to his last winning mark but that is a result of showing little in three starts for current connections; only of interest if attracting support. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Effective in the reapplied cheekpieces but last season's career-best form came once fitted in a visor; needs to be right on his game to win this and that wasn't the case on his Newmarket comeback. |
40/1 |
|
16th 9 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
By Kingman out of 6f/7f 2yo winner (including Group 3; RPR 102); 9-1 for his Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago but he travelled well for a long way before fading into a 2l third of 11; that was a promising start and he's strongly respected. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Second twice in nurseries (7f and 1m) last year and they were his only visits to Kempton; 33-1, cheekpieces went on when same again behind The Outlaw at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) three weeks ago, slowly away and passing a load of his rivals in the closing stages under 7lb claimer; now has a tongue-tie as well; 0-9 but capable of finishing thereabouts. |

Second twice in nurseries at Kempton (7f and 1m, Polytrack) last year; well beaten at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta) latest but has bounced back before and may just be better on Polytrack than Tapeta; cheekpieces go on; not ruled out. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |
6/1 |
|
13 (13) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Clear winner of first AW handicap (6f) here then finished a close third over 7f at Chelmsford under a penalty before keeping on quite nicely when third of eight at Windsor (6f) in June; left George Boughey for 42,000gns since; now tongue tied; interesting for new yard. |
10/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Fluffed the start on his handicap debut at Nottingham last month (blindfold issues) but showed himself to be well ahead of his opening mark with a comfortable win at Lingfield three weeks ago (6f, AW); outstayed over 7f at Chelmsford one week later; still capable of better and his useful brother Salvuccio went well on fast turf. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has a largely solid record and is 2-4 on turf; gelded prior to respectable effort in big field at Newmarket on seasonal debut, taking form figures since upped to 7f to 216; may still have more to offer; big run looks plausible. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Good-ground maiden winner on his April return last year and it was a good run after a break when third of 14 at Newcastle (also 6f, AW) in August; signed off by beating 14 others at Leicester (7f, good) in October after which he was gelded; retains plenty of potential ahead of this comeback on just his fourth handicap start. |
4/1 |

12 (1) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Lightly-raced; won a Nottingham maiden in April (6f, good; second has won three times since); has returned from a 137-day break with two good runs in AW handicaps, latest over 7f at Kempton; chance. |

Maiden after 15 starts; placed only twice, including on latest when never-nearer third of 12 here (7f) 13 days ago; each-way player if he sees out the extra furlong from unchanged mark. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

A 14-race maiden; placed only once (in a small-field race for George Boughey); best form in 2025 was in claimers; not beaten far in sixth over 6f here last month; same placing when 2 3/4l behind Methgal over C&D two weeks ago; place possibility. |

0-12 for Darryll Holland but she had two close calls over 5f in early spring, at Chelmsford and over C&D; sold for 1,000gns in July; goes without regular tongue-tie (blinkers added latest, now discarded) and entitled to need the run for new yard. |

Placed in three consecutive AW handicaps (5f) at start of this year but she was well held at Southwell 11 days ago and that took her record to 0-11; has something to prove again and her turf form lags well behind her best AW efforts; blinkers added. |
