7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Yarmouth winner who was gelded after disappointing in the Chesham at Royal Ascot; next seen when going down narrowly in a big-field nursery at York (7f, good to firm; very competitive); saw that race out well and stepping up to 1m can only benefit him. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Frankel colt who scored tidily on his 6f Yarmouth debut (good to soft) in May and the second and third have franked the form since; on the back of that he went off 100-30 for the Chesham at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) but was beaten 14l into seventh; subsequently gelded; remains a very useful prospect for his top stable. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Frankel colt who cost 625,000euros as a yearling; 11-10 favourite, slowly away but eventually picked up well to score tidily at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) and looks open to any amount of progress; interesting prospect. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Eyecatching debut here over 7f (good to firm) and then justified a shade of odds-on with no bother at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy); faces a different calibre of opposition here but it's been an encouraging start. |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a well-connected mare and overcame clear inexperience when staying on from the rear for third on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; ought to be more streetwise here and could be hard to beat. |

3rd 2 (4) |

60,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Bodorgan (7f 2yo/1m2f; RPR 89) and Rose Of Capricorn (Italian 9.7f); dam unraced sister to UAE 1m dirt Group 2 winner Golden Goal, half-sister to Listed-placed 5f-6f winner Rosie's Premiere; market may point the way. |

On a handy mark on last summer's peak efforts for Hugo Palmer; ran some fair races in Dubai for new connections earlier in the year; others appeal a bit more for win purposes. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned mostly on good/firmer; record is only 1-11 but good seconds at Haydock (1m) and Chester (7.5f; cheekpieces applied) last month suggest his turn is near; one for the shortlist. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has a progressive profile and made it three wins from eight attempts when easily making all at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last November; subsequently gelded; a 10lb rise means he'll need another personal best but he's a low-mileage 4yo who may have more in the tank. |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Low-mileage 3yo who returned with cracking thirds in 1m1f/1m Goodwood handicaps in August; didn't find much after moving up looking a threat at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month but the Goodwood efforts are solid and he's given another chance. |

3rd Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Listed runner-up at Salisbury (1m) last August on second start, behind subsequent Grade 1 winner, then won Listed race at Haydock (1m); soft ground and the undulations may not have suited at Newmarket in the Royal Lodge; one of the leading form contenders on his reappearance and AW debut. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
250,000gns son of Frankel; unraced on softer than good; won at Salisbury on debut and gave subsequent big-race winner New Century plenty to think about in three-runner, 1m Listed race at same course (1m); registered his own Listed success in eight-runner race at Haydock (1m) three weeks ago, travelling best and asserting in good style once he got in the clear, so he brings good form and plenty of promise. |

9st 10lb |
Debut scorer at Ffos Las (7f) in August and advanced his form when last of three in 1m Salisbury conditions event on his return; goes up in trip for his handicap debut here and needs considering. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (3) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Created pretty good impression when clearcut winner of Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, soft) on debut last August but finished of eight last when upped to Listed level the following month and we haven't seen him again since; stable has much stronger claims with Stanhope Gardens. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month but he was in good heart previously, finishing fourth at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) two starts ago where the trip appeared to stretch him; possible player. |
7/1 |
|
27th 13 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Gelded prior to showing improvement and performing solidly (12134) over 7f-1m1f this year, mostly on AW, including a good effort on finals day at Newcastle; respectable fourth at Newmarket returned to turf and again looks likely to give his running. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Progressive last term, landing a Listed event at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) and the Group 2 Prix de Malleret at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft); struggled in the Yorkshire Oaks and Prix de l'Opéra; again set a stiff task on reappearance at Longchamp; up against it. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Dictated the pace and held on narrowly in Listed event at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in May and five-runner Group 2 at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) in July; upset a hot favourite in the latter and perhaps being unable to make the running played against her when well beaten in the Oaks in between, with the Epsom track another excuse, but she still has huge work to do if she's to turn the tables on Minnie Hauk. |
