3rd 5 (5) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Godolphin gelding who is proving consistent (form figures read 11324); ran creditably upped to 1m6f at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, while leaving the impression a stronger pace would have suited; in the mix. |
4/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Worn cheekpieces throughout; form figures of 113 in 1m2f/1m4f novice/maidens, the third coming in a warm race at Southwell; left for dead by the winner on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but that was behind a Juddmonte horse delivering a career best; should stay. |
7/2 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces all three starts; ended well on top in a maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, soft) in October and a Southwell novice (at 1-7) in February; third of six in a warm novice at Southwell (again 1m4f on AW) in early April was creditable and he should have more to offer in handicaps over 1m4f+. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
A pretty useful maiden after six races, good fourth of 14 to Munsif from off the pace in handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) on latest; this is a better race and he needs to find extra. |
10/1 |

4th 14 (13) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Two minor honours on softer than good to start career; second of six on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month is his best form and he faded into sixth of 13 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) ten days later; lightly raced, with something to prove. |
12/1 |
|
12 (2) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Best run yet when 1l second of six to improved Godolphin winner on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; 9-4) ten days ago; he should be suited by the likely strong pace in this big field and his trainer won this with a 3yo in 2022; firmly in calculations off the same mark. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Usually held up; third in a 2yo maiden was his sole run on softer than good; can race freely but showed improved form when upped to 2m for wins at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season, and he continued on his upward curve when a close, never-nearer third of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago; retains potential. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form upped to 2m when winning at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season; up another 5lb but he still looks feasibly treated and could continue on an upward curve as a 4yo; interesting contender on his return. |
100/30 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Promise in his qualifying races on turf, followed by two underwhelming runs in handicaps but he then delivered an improved show in nine-runner race at Kempton (upped to 2m, AW) four weeks ago, coming through strongly from last to first; 3lb higher today but he has more to offer as a stayer. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressed in three qualifying runs and he readily fought off a challenge to make winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; 5lb rise is only a footnote for an unexposed sort who looks like he'll relish this step up in trip. |
7/2 |

2 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressive form in three starts on turf without living up to his breeding, finishing second of five on his return from nine months off in a valuable Doncaster novice (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) 18 days ago; may step up again now handicapping with stable 67-210 (32%) here in past five seasons. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Godolphin runner who is well bred and cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; failed to meet expectations in two Newmarket events last term but perhaps he'll do better as a 3yo and now gelded; not written off. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Powerful yard, who won this two years ago, had a few disappoint at short prices of late; this lightly raced 400,000gns yearling holds obvious claims, having been gelded since winning his novice last summer (highly tried a couple of times prior) though. |
4/5 |

1st 5 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Solid second in Doncaster maiden on seasonal debut (1m2f; useful winner has advertised the form since); seemingly out of his depth in Epsom Listed event and Royal Ascot handicap since; respected back in calmer waters. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Flat winner whose hurdles form comprises a couple of second-place finishes and a late fall (beaten at the time); even off bottom weight, this looks a difficult task upped in class. |
33/1 |
|

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went very close in a Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) last November but after being gelded, he's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m2f/1m4f) this season; still unexposed but he needs a major revival with visor now tried. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best two efforts from five starts have been on AW and he's been off since finishing last of six in a class 3 at Doncaster (1m2f, good; beaten 24l) in March; drops in grade and steps up in trip with a bit to prove. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
30th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Recorded his best efforts last year on AW, albeit was perhaps unsuited by soft going in both turf starts; gelded over the winter; open to improvement on this forecast better ground on handicap debut. |
