21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Tremendous progress last season; odds-on flop when rather forced to make the running in the Yorkshire Cup here on 2026 return; ran on nicely for a creditable sixth of 12 in a very strong Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time but unseated leaving the stalls with a mishap in the Goodwood Cup (2m; 17-2); that leaves his stamina unproven but he stays at least 1m6f; unraced on softer than good to yielding; a leading contender if he gets this new trip and there's fair chance he will. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins here in May initiated his tremendous progress last season; flopped at odds-on when he was rather forced to make the running in Yorkshire Cup on 2026 reappearance, but he ran on nicely for a creditable sixth of 12 in a very strong Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time; stays 1m6f and has each-way claims if he gets this new trip. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (12) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on ground slower than good to yielding; disappointing favourite in the Yorkshire Cup on reappearance but that's his only blip in an otherwise progressive career; justified favouritism in the King Edward VII Stakes over C&D at this meeting (good to firm) 12 months ago, taking record at that time to 5-5, then ran well in the Irish St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf; possibilities, provided his upward trajectory is resumed. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second of three in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud last October (1m2f, heavy) and respectable seventh of 18 in the Derby 13 days ago (1m4f, good); back down in grade today but his eight starts have yielded just one win, in a maiden at Yarmouth, and he's probably vulnerable once more. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dam won five Group races at up to 1m4f and was touched off in the Irish Oaks; six 2yo runs yielded one win at 1m1f before seconds in Group races over 1m2f at Newmarket (good to soft) and Saint-Cloud (heavy); this new trip should suit but he dropped right out at Newmarket (1m1f) in April. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May and bounced back from a lesser run on turf when third here over 1m4f last time, form that has since been franked by the winner; stamina is a concern on his first try at 2m. |
9/1 |

3rd 10 (12) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |
16/1 |

Picked up for 25,000gns in February and emerged from midfield to make a successful debut for George Baker over 1m3f on the AW; impressed with his attitude that day as he was under the pump early enough; raised 4lb; 0-4 on turf and unraced on ground slower than good. |

Made it sixth-time lucky over C&D in July and appreciated the return to the AW when fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month with three of these behind (winner has gone in again since); leading player. |
3/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted an improved effort when winning at Kempton (1m, AW) in July but he wasn't in the same form at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month following a 6lb rise; return to AW may help. |
9/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Showed improved form when a well-backed winner from 13 rivals at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago; had nearly 2l to spare and a 6lb rise may not stop him if the return to turf isn't an issue. |

Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel; below best this season until finding her form again when second over C&D in June; winner Thatwilldso has franked the form with Galway second and Sligo win; longer trip here should be fine and ground-versatile. |

9st 8lb |
Improved for the step up to 1m2f when winning final 2yo start on AW (first-time cheekpieces); modest Tapeta form this year, however, and this will be his first turf run since soundly beaten on debut; now visored. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three AW wins at 1m and 7f in midwinter and he wasn't too far off his best at Wolverhampton recently but his two turf runs, most recently at Yarmouth in May, leave him with some questions hanging. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Won three times on the Lingfield Polytrack (7f/1m) during the winter and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but not at his best lately; others more solid. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Three wins at Lingfield (7f-1m) over the winter; his form has cooled more recently and he returns to turf (well held in one attempt) with a point to prove; can blow the start. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Regressive, 13-race maiden who hasn't improved since undergoing wind surgery during the winter; twice ran well off higher marks over C&D last autumn, so a case can be made, but no upturn with the tongue-tie enlisted on latest outing and he's now given a go in first-time headgear. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Three third-placed finishes on quick turf (1m) and AW (9.5f) last term but finished the year tamely and wind surgery didn't improve matters in two starts last month; tongue-tie added. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Maiden (0-11); twice placed on AW, including when third to Serious Look at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 10-1) last October; less effective since - eased 5lb in the weights - but could draw benefit from his Yarmouth comeback run (first outing since wind surgery). |

9st 9lb |
Reliable and progressive since sent into handicaps, including for a Hamilton win (1m4f, good) on penultimate start and close third at Sandown (1m6f, good) on latest; the latter was behind a Prescott-trained improver and the problem is that he faces another of those today. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent since sent into handicaps and had a bit up his sleeve at Hamilton 16 days ago (1m4f, good); 4lb rise is fair and interesting now sent further as his dam was a smart stayer. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Two fair runs in 1m4f AW handicaps; likely needs more for the return to turf and longer trips might be his destiny as dam was a 1m6f Listed winner who finished third in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes, and whose winning offspring include a 2m winner; still not ruled out for yard that won this in 2024. |
