27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
All runs over 5f on good or faster ground; won his first race after being gelded and easily his best form yet when close up in a Listed race last week at Ayr; runs here off an untouched mark before the 8lb rise kicks in so hard to beat if handling the ground. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Took four goes to get off the mark (at Musselburgh over 5f on good) and limitations were exposed in a Listed race at York; looks vulnerable. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at Musselburgh (5f, good; beat La Bellota by a neck) two weeks ago, seeming to show the benefit of a gelding operation, and may build on that success; posted a solid effort (form has substance) over C&D in May; quite interesting. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a Chantilly Listed race (5f) on heavy ground in June and a return to testing conditions has seen him recapture that form this autumn, placing three times, including in another French Listed event on Monday; should give his running if over those exertions but looks vulnerable for win purposes under a penalty. |

2nd 8 (2) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won two of his first three starts including a heavy-ground Listed event at Chantilly (5f); found things tough in Group races after that but he got back on track with a close call in Haydock nursery last Friday; that was off a BHA mark of 97 and has claims if he can repeat that form back up in trip. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
The ground was heavy when he took a noticeable step forward in winning a French 5f Listed race and hasn't looked as happy on good to firm in his subsequent Group-race assignments; tough mark for nursery debut but there will be no other excuses. |

Did well after moving into nurseries in second half of last year, winning twice (5f, good); a contender if fully tuned up on reappearance. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won the Woodcote at Epsom's Derby meeting (6f, good to soft); struggled afterwards but back on track with a near miss off 3lb lower at Chester (5f, soft); that was a Class 4 and this is a Class 2, so likely to need more. |

0-7 since his winning debut and didn't offer much in a nursery last week at Ayr; 4lb lower in future; tries cheekpieces. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Hasn't really progressed from his winning debut; only fifth of six in his one nursery start and just 2lb lower today; return to 6f may help but others are open to greater improvement. |
