25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
2-3 as 2yo, wins coming in a soft-ground novice at Leicester and with a strong-staying performance in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft); made a belated reappearance in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft; 11-2) one month ago and although Ancient Wisdom finished about 3l ahead, the way this 3yo kept on from off the pace gave encouragement; there's stamina and class on the dam's side. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Absent since winning the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft; Group 3) last October, taking form figures to 211; promising contender who could have plenty of further improvement in him, assuming all is well; interesting on belated reappearance. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Came from off the pace to finish a clear second in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) in July; on the strength of that he was 4-9 for 11-runner novice at Leicester (7f, soft) two months later, having to work hard but looking better the further he went and scoring in clearcut style; clear potential in those performances, including for this longer trip. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second of three in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud last October (1m2f, heavy) and respectable seventh of 18 in the Derby 13 days ago (1m4f, good); back down in grade today but his eight starts have yielded just one win, in a maiden at Yarmouth, and he's probably vulnerable once more. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dam won five Group races at up to 1m4f and was touched off in the Irish Oaks; six 2yo runs yielded one win at 1m1f before seconds in Group races over 1m2f at Newmarket (good to soft) and Saint-Cloud (heavy); this new trip should suit but he dropped right out at Newmarket (1m1f) in April. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't added to Currah 2yo maiden win but some good efforts in smart company, notably Queens Vase fourth and second behind Al Riffa in Group 2 Curragh Cup (1m6f, good); stamina test of 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch seemed beyond him last time and now takes a marked drop in trip. |
9/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
9st 9lb |
Third of three for yard and Lordan rides; not beaten far behind Carmers in the Queens Vase at Royal Ascot in June; good second behind Al Riffa in the Curragh Cup (1m6f, good) on penultimate; weakened over 2m latest; stamina a query on handicap debut. |
14/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
8st 8lb |
Sole win (eight races) remains a 2yo maiden; Group assignments all five starts since, his most competitive displays when a close, front-running fourth in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and second of five in another 1m6f Group 2 at the Curragh last time; may well stay 2m but had no answer to the Curragh winner and needs big improvement from today's new trip and/or first-time headgear. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
No win since 2yo, having come up short in Group races, Listed races and four handicaps; fourth of 14 off this mark at Ascot (1m4f) latest was his closest finish in that winless period and he kept on well, so some hope is revived. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |

Kingman colt who cost 500,000gns as a yearling; promising third in a maiden at Sandown (1m, good) and 8-11 winner of Kempton novice (1m, AW) three weeks later; has Group 1 Futurity entry this month; brother to smart Age Of Kings and looks a good prospect himself. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
This colt's dam is a sister to Illinois and half-sister to Danedream; made a muted debut at Tipperary (1m1f, good) but transformed to win nine-runner maiden at Gowran Park (1m, good) later in September, making most and ending well on top; still green that day and there's plenty to like, even if Ryan Moore is on Shackleton. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Bright start as 2yo in 2024 but then trailed the field in a Group 3 that October and, following an 80,000gns sale, has raced only twice for this yard, beaten 7l in one start last year and again on his comeback at Newbury 33 days ago; encouraging he's now putting a couple of runs together, though, so well worth a market check; hood added. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Bright start as 2yo in 2024 but then trailed the field in a Group 3 that October and, following a 80,000gns sale, has raced only once since, when never dangerous in a 1m2f handicap last May; 343 days off before this belated fifth start and it's hard to know how much ability remains; market may guide. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won a maiden at Bath (1m, good) on debut and improved when third of five in a conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) two weeks later; he dropped right out, however, when 40-1 for a 1m2f Group 3 in October; this is his first run since leaving the Crisfords for 80,000gns that month and he was soon gelded; should stay but needs improvement. |
