20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Looked very promising in 2024 on first two starts (7f/1m, good/heavy) and returned from long absence to win a Southwell novice (1m, AW) at 6-4 two months ago; in a hot race on a lofty mark for his handicap debut but very unexposed and could well be up to the task for his top yard. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Twice-raced Too Darn Hot colt who looked an excellent prospect when easily making all in 1m Newbury novice in October 2024; absent since but he remains with considerable potential. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Too Darn Hot colt who was a 120,000euros breeze-up purchase; promising second in Sandown maiden (7f, good) eight weeks ago, leading from over 1f out until collared in the final strides; commands respect. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Continues to start slowly; still won narrowly over C&D (good to soft) in June and ended up having to challenge wide when beaten 2l at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) since; he's of interest. |
3/1 |

5th 4 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough at the 12th attempt when justifying support at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month; 4lb higher in different conditions here but he pulled well clear with the runner-up last time and his best form has come on Polytrack; respected back up in trip. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
11-race maiden having only his third run on turf; yet to find his best form this season and the headgear tried last time is dispensed with. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
2m Group 1 entry for Ascot in October, along with several others in this; unraced on good to soft and below form in a soft-ground run last term; unbeaten in 2026, having led in the closing stages on good to firm at the Newmarket Guineas meeting (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f; by a head); raised another 5lb but progressive and plenty to like if the ground proves suitable. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 (12) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
After just the solitary run as 2yo he made steady progress last season and delivered a clear personal best when reeling in the front-running Gamrai in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting (good to firm; first run since gelded) on reappearance; up just 4lb and this return to a longer trip won't bother him; hard to knock. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win in eight runs was a Chester maiden; best efforts, however, when third in both the 1m6f Melrose at York (good to firm; led over 2f out) and another valuable handicap over C&D (good; finishing strongly) in October; gelded soon afterwards; interesting prospect as 4yo. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seemed to be going places when he won a Group 3 at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) last August, followed by a respectable sixth on soft ground in the St Leger, but he's been disappointing this term; headgear goes on. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins have been at Newbury, in a maiden over 1m3f last April and a Group 3 over 1m5f (good to firm) last August; respectable sixth in the St Leger in September but he's been below that level in all four starts since, including when beating only Duke Of Oxford home over this C&D in May; drops back to 2m having contested the Gold Cup two weeks ago. |
5/1 |
|
10th 8 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Second to Carmers in bunched finish to 1m6f Queen's Vase here last year and impressive in Group 3 at Newbury (1m5f, again good to firm) last August; he's been put firmly in his place on all four outings since, however, beaten just over 4l behind Scandinavia and Rahiebb in the St Leger at Doncaster on first occasion, which was creditable, but singularly underwhelming this season in Yorkshire Cup and 2m Sandown Group 3; needs a huge turnaround. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has shown poor form on Flat for current yard and remains a maiden under that code; pulled up in both hurdles attempts; enough to prove back in this sphere. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-14 and, apart from one early bid for glory on Polytrack five starts ago, he is mostly struggling to break out of rear this term; opposed. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
225,000euros breeze-up buy; remains a maiden, and is on the verge of becoming frustrating, but the Newbury and Newmarket races he contested in August and September have worked out very well; rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 0-7 when below par at Newbury four weeks ago, when failing to settle; however, prior to that he went close in a small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) and can be in the picture if leaving last time behind. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden; similar form in two handicaps around 1m this term, a solid third of 13 at Hamilton (good) in May backed up by a narrow second at Salisbury (good to firm) last time; far from disgraced over 1m2f in between; this drop back in trip asks a question but he's in form and is yet another contender. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Resonded well to the fitting of blinkers and being allowed a soft lead when making all on his reappearance/first start since being gelded over C&D (good to firm) last month, but ran a shocker at Chepstow (1m2f, good) next time; much depends on which version turns up, but he could enjoy the run of the race again. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Delivered on some 2yo promise when making all at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; up 5lb and has more to prove on the stamina front given the recent rain but some further progress is on the cards; yard also runs Justenzia. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July 2025; well held in just two outings since, although the fact he went off at 2-1 for his Thirsk reappearance four weeks ago suggests a lot better was anticipated by his leading stable; it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' are prepared to give him a second chance. |

Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) last July; raised 11lb for that success and was well held having raced keenly at Goodwood (1m4f) next time; has been off for 373 days and has the hood applied for his return; watch the market. |

0-8 and has regressed since finishing second of four on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February; resurgence needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Initially found some improvement when upped to 1m4f on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (AW) but he's made limited impact since and the recent break and this first turf handicap need to see plenty more. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Comfortably justified 4-6 favouritism in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last month; has very low mileage and, although 6-4 favourite, his fourth of six at Haydock (1m6f) on handicap debut three weeks ago was his best form; looked stretched by 1m6f and better may still be forthcoming. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Brings staying potential, having comfortably justified favouritism in maiden over a stiff 1m3f on soft ground at Carlisle last time; has very low mileage and could well improve further; respected handicap debutant. |

Encouraging third behind two Gosden-trained inmates at Windsor (1m2f, good) last month following seven-month absence; should be suited by the step up in trip and one of the likelier ones. |

6th 7 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Achieved his first placing at the 12th attempt when third of five in a handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago (first two have both won since); may have been unfortunate not to be placed in a similar race to this over 1m here the time before; each-way claims. |

3rd 4 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Latest fifth of nine in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time visor) was probably better than it looks, but he has finished unplaced in all 11 starts so something extra will be needed. |
