7th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Showed his 2yo progress on good, good to soft and heavy ground; comfortably bagged Listed honours at Chantilly (1m1f) the final time, taking record to 3-4; major player on ratings upped further in trip and helps to give Ralph Beckett, who also runs Pinhole, a strong hand. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has excuses when well held on his Doncaster debut in July (started favourite) but showed his true worth when making all at Epsom (7f, good) last month; extra furlong should suit him on pedigree and he shouldn't be underestimated; stable also runs the newcomer Crackeagle. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Encouraging start to his career when winning a 7f novice (good) at Haydock in July; put in his place by a promising sort at Salisbury 16 days ago (1m, good to soft) but still ran to a useful level; considered. |
6/1 |

10-1 when making a winning debut at Haydock (7f, good) in July, displaying a nice turn of foot; extra furlong should be within range and respected despite conceding weight all round. |

Solid 2yo campaign (on soft/good to soft) comprised a debut win and two placed efforts, runner-up in Newmarket handicap (1m) latest; still open to further progress and warrants respect. |

5-4 favourite at Leicester (7f, good to soft) in June and got the job done despite zig-zagging across the track; upset in the stalls (withdrawn) in July and was gelded before his never-nearer third of 12 in novice at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 13 days ago; brings potential to nurseries at 1m+. |

Couldn't justify favouritism on his 1m4f Southwell handicap debut and reappearance last month, but he would have been closer than a 3l third but for meeting trouble around 2f out; remains open to progress back on turf. |

Beaten a neck at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) on debut last August; while neither of his subsequent starts lived up to that, it does look as if he will stay this trip; gelded since and makes handicap debut. |

Promising fifth on seven on debut in warm Newmarket novice (7f, good) in August; lesser effort at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) subsequently but he retains potential; not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
20-1 when fifth of seven on his Newmarket debut (7f, good) three weeks ago (third has won since); gave the impression he would benefit both from that initial experience and this extra furlong; one for the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gelded son of New Bay who cost 70,000gns as a yearling and is the first foal of a German Listed-placed 1m winner (RPR 105); best to heed the market signals. |

5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Excuses in two nursery runs here last backend and turned in a career-best effort on his 7f comeback here three weeks ago, when coming away with a subsequent winner off 3lb lower; goes on the shortlist. |
7/2 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

took keen hold, soon midfield on inner, headway over 1f out, ridden and led narrowly inside final 110yds, kept on |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
15th Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Unplaced in five runs as a 2yo but that doesn't tell the whole story and the likelihood is he's capable of much better at some point; finished fastest of all when eighth over C&D when last seen (poorly positioned) and although an extra furlong might suit better, he's worth a market check on his return to action; has been gelded. |

9st 4lb |
March foal by Cracksman; first foal; dam unplaced 1m2f-1m4f (RPR 61), sister to useful 7f-1m4f winner Galactic Prince, half-sister to 1m 2yo winner Opera Forever, out of 1m2f/11.4f Listed winner from family of smart stayer/jumper Grey Shot; already gelded and stable is also represented by Square D'Alboni, but yard's record with 2yo newcomers this year makes him well worth monitoring in the market. |

£60,000 breeze-up 2yo; the occasion got the better of him on his turf debut and he built on that at Kempton a month ago but may be one for handicaps in due course; it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

Posted a better effort at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) on handicap/seasonal debut last month after being gelded; he's entitled to come on for that run and, dropping back to 1m2f on return to turf, is open to further progress. |

Did not threaten in three novice races last September-November (7f-1m), but was gelded during the winter and ought to be more competitive in low-grade middle-distances handicaps this year; tongue-tie added. |
