21st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Created a positive impression when winning at Pontefract on debut in August (6f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level when trying to concede weight to two useful sorts at Chester later that month; sets the standard and there should be more in the tank; AW debut. |

Fifth foal; half-brother to winners Romantic Warrior (6f-1m2f including multiple Group/Grade 1s), Melodic Charm (6f AW including 2yo; 93) and Pennywhistle (7f 2yo; 93); this Showcasing gelding is with a top trainer (also runs Hamilton third Our Mighty Mo) and could play a leading role on debut. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Found a jolt of improvement last summer, winning handicaps at Kempton (7f) and Southwell (1m) before a good third here (1m) in his hat-trick bid 310 days ago; absent since but he should have more to offer after just eight starts; betting instructive. |
7/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when coming from off the pace to collect at Southwell (1m); was aided by a collapsing pace but he looks progressive; just 3lb higher. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Took his AW record (all over 7f) to 311 with Kempton win last time and that form has worked out well; likely to be as effective back at 1m and show further progress in this sphere; major contender. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |
4/1 |

6th 8 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ran surprisingly well to finish so close in last year's Queen's Vase over C&D but perhaps flattered by that given subsequent defeats (Group 3 and a strong handicap); gelded prior to tailing off on his hurdling debut at Cheltenham in November and absent since; the return of cheekpieces is no bad thing. |
33/1 |

7th 14 (14) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last three outings, all on good to firm; won a 1m4f Thirsk handicap on first occasion and he's 23lb higher today thanks mostly to his staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot; failed to confirm that improvement in 1m5f Newmarket Group 3 on latest start, admittedly not disgraced but that makes others look a bit more solid today. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Wore cheekpieces the last twice, winning a Thirsk handicap (1m4f) then appearing to improve markedly with staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Queen's Vase when upped further in trip; latter effort ties him in with a few of today's rivals; may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Nicely bred and cost 425,000gns as a yearling but has performed well below expectations in two runs; the way things are looking, he may find better opportunities in handicaps shortly. |

1st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 5l on debut when sent off the favourite at Southwell (7f, AW) last October; tongue-tie now fitted for his reappearance, for which he is up in trip; top yard is among the winners this week; no surprise to see an improved effort. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

In need of the experience on his Chelmsford debut (7f) but he showed much more when third of 12 at Wolverhampton two weeks ago when a tongue-tie was tried; can progress further but he will need to pull out more. |

5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Back off the same mark as when making all at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last September when in the care of Jamie Osborne, but not at his best lately and similar tactics won't be easy in this field. |

7th 7 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came on AW at Wolverhampton last September when trained by Jamie Osborne; flattered by his finishing position when fourth of ten at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last month and finished last of six subsequently at Yarmouth (1m6f, good); cheekpieces are introduced for the first time and needs more. |
12/1 |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |

Made all to win a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton for Jamie Osborne last September; unplaced in two hurdle runs for this yard but he didn't run badly returned to the Flat at Goodwood 19 days ago (1m6f, good); down in class today and should have a big run in him. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Turned over three times as favourite since handicapping, looking to have no excuses at Haydock before pulling hard over 1m6f when last seen two months ago; pedigree gives hope on the ground front, coming right back in trip in first-time headgear. |

27th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Typical Prescott 3yo who has improved for the step up in trip and handicaps (also a gelding operation) this season; improved on his handicap debut over 1m2f when 1.75l second of seven at Haydock last time (1m3.5f, good to firm); could progress again over 1m6f and he's a key player. |
