31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Pacemaker for Field Of Gold in two Group 1 races this season; took advantage of drop back in class for Listed event at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last time, prevailing narrowly in a sustained battle with the runner-up who made the running; still unexposed beyond 1m and may rate higher still. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive last term and ran creditably when favourite for the Classic Trial over C&D on reappearance; comfortably held in Group 1 races won by Field Of Gold since; faces a much easier task back down sharply in class and taking on his elders; respected. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two minor honours in Group races, including second at Sandown (1m2f) on seasonal debut; however, dropped away in the closing stages of the Irish 2,000 Guineas and ended up behind three of today's rivals; the cheekpieces worn that day are retained; needs major improvement. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on first three 2yo starts (7f/1m, good to firm/good to soft) before easily making all in 7f AW novice; off since, with gelding/wind ops in the meantime; it's a hefty absence to defy but he has potential off his opening mark if retaining his ability; the betting will be interesting. |

1st 6 (6) |
8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in all three starts, showing strong form when second in the Convivial maiden at York's Ebor meeting (7f, good to firm) on second occasion; beaten at odds-on back at York last month (1m, good to soft) but the winner has franked the form and underfoot conditions may not have been ideal; strong claims back at 7f; AW debut. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden who has been performing respectably in 1m handicaps this winter without strongly suggesting his turn is near; today's longer trip needs to help him pull out a bit more. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Finished behind a couple of today's rivals at Newcastle last time, but shaped as if he's still in reasonably good form; however, still needs to show he has what it takes to win (record is 0-14). |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 (12) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 but he's on a reduced mark and was an eyecatching third behind Trais Fluors over C&D four weeks ago; that was only his fourth run on AW and has possibilities if he can back that up. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
12-race maiden; creditable third to a pair of subsequent winners at Carlisle last time (1m1f, good); conditions suit; should go well. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |
11/2 |

6th 12 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; bits of form last summer that bring him into the reckoning and he kicks off his 4yo campaign with a tongue tie fitted; betting useful back from 236 days off. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
18-race maiden but he was in good form prior to a lesser effort at Redcar (1m1f, good to firm) last month; may be able to bounce back but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Is 0-17 but he arrives in good form, placed for third consecutive start when runner-up in 1m2f Ayr handicap (Shifter third) two weeks ago; 1lb worse off with that rival here but he can go very well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Is 0-16 but he arrives in good form, not seen to ideal effect when a running-on third of nine over C&D 16 days ago; well in the mix from the same mark. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

One of two wins came over C&D (April); some good runs in the meantime and has a handy draw to work from. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins have been over 1m but she did go close over this C&D last September (good to soft); ran well at Pontefract (1m, good) two starts ago but below her best at Thirsk (good to firm) two weeks ago; steps back up in trip. |
7/2 |

4th 3 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from 29 starts, with the most recent success coming in April over this C&D; had cheekpieces back on (retained) when runner-up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days ago and holds good claims off the same mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last October and has been placed four times this year; may have found the drop back in trip against him when fifth of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers but he may find this trip on the sharp side. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 14 races; three seconds from five starts this year, beaten a head at Newmarket (2m, good to firm; made most) 18 days ago in first-time cheekpieces; they are now replaced by blinkers; last time he raced over shorter than 1m6f was in June 2025 but this isn't a strong race; good chance. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in novice events but he was a market springer on his handicap debut at Redcar in April (1m2f, good; blinkered first time); dropped away having over-raced on that occasion and he left Kevin Ryan afterwards; never dangerous on stable debut at Pontefract two weeks ago; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Modest form so far and was a long way from justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) on final start for Kevin Ryan; this trip should suit better; new aids replace first-time blinkers. |

0-7; beaten 3l when third of four at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April but he failed to build on that back on turf at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) 63 days ago; better needed. |
