20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All wins over 6f (on soft and good ground) in the autumn months; excelled himself when winning the Ayr Silver Cup (soft) last September but it seems unlikely he will reproduce that form on this belated return. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Came good last autumn, winning three times, and he confirmed that this is his time of year by posting a personal best to beat his 24 rivals in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft; made all) two weeks ago; hasn't run over 5f since the early part of his 2yo campaign but gives the impression this trip may well suit; well worth his place back in a Listed race and set for a bold show. |

Often leads; ended 2yo season with a flourish, three 6f wins including one at this meeting and a Listed Redcar race (good and soft); has failed to shine this year but conditions are more in his favour today; revival possible; one of three for the yard. |

Two wins over 5f on soft/heavy as a juvenile, the second a Listed event at Chantilly; hasn't won since and only seventh of nine on reappearance, but on a fair mark; could go well though stall 1 a slight negative. |

Lightly raced 3yo who posted a personal best when winning over C&D at the Ebor meeting (good to firm); far from disgraced when sixth of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last month, finishing second in the near-side group; 2lb lower today and still has untapped potential; very interesting back at York and looks the one to beat. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive 2yo, including on soft; improved run by run this year, getting off the mark for the season with a doughty effort at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); that run promised more and although he's not well in under his 5lb penalty, he looks the type to make up into a Pattern-race performer; easy to see him in the thick of it. |

Lightly raced 3yo; ended 2yo campaign with a fine third in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, soft); seemed rusty here first time out this term but ran promisingly when fourth of 14 at Hamilton (6f, good) next time; anything but exposed and represents a yard in top form; high on the list. |

Sole win was in a Newmarket novice (6f, good to firm) in June but he's run some good races when highly tried since including a front-running third of six in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, heavy) last month; just about sets the standard at the weights and he's strongly respected on this drop in class. |

Chased home a smart prospect at Nottingham in June before making all for an emphatic win at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) last month; disappointing under a penalty at Newcastle (Tapeta) last time but his best efforts have been on turf so far and he's a key player on his penultimate form; dangerous back in this sphere. |

Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark. |

Goes well fresh and he scored on his seasonal/handicap debut last April; again ran well when close third off this mark on his comeback (also Ripon, 6f) this term; he didn't back it up when suffering a heavy defeat at York last time, albeit from a poor draw, but this represents a drop back in grade so he's not dismissed. |
