13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Won the Group 3 Winter Derby at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February before creditable fourth in the Group 3 Gordon Richards at Sandown (1m2f, good); down the field in the Prince of Wales's Stakes on Group 1 debut and first encounter with fast ground; brought form to a new level with Group 2 win at York; still plenty to prove in top grade. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Group 3 Winter Derby at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February before creditable fourth under a 3lb penalty in the Group 3 Gordon Richards at Sandown (1m2f, good), when a neck behind Almaqam; down the field at Royal Ascot but in a Group 1 on his first encounter with fast ground; could be thereabouts now back down in grade and with slower ground expected. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the 1m2f Listed Wolferton at this meeting in 2023; mixed form last autumn in Australia, before registering Listed and Group 3 wins on the British AW this winter for his new stable; close, keeping-on fourth of seven in Sandown Group 3 (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) in April was another good effort but he needs markedly better to upset the best of today's rivals. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |
20/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Latest win came in a Listed race over 1m4f here for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been at his best in five starts for this yard; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

12th 1 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Gosden 5yo; something of a revival with his second and third in small fields at Lingfield (1m2f) on last two outings for current yard, the latter a Group 3; bit more to prove back in the different scenario of this handicap but, with 7lb claimer recruited, he's not entirely dismissed. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Superior on AW but handicapped accordingly and he was a promising fifth over 1m4f here (good to firm) in August, when he raced wide early and was in the lead at the furlong pole; again faded when last of five in Listed race at Chester last time (1m4f, good to soft; tough task at weights) and this drop back in trip could prove ideal; drawn low and one to consider seriously. |
9/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a 1m4f Listed win from the front last December) whereas 0-8 on turf; has shown easily his best turf form in two of his last three starts (gelded before latest) but much better is seemingly required today. |
33/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a Listed win from the front) whereas 0-7 on turf; he now has a 10lb lower turf mark and managed sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but that's easily his best turf form; gelded since a poor show on latest outing. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

On a losing run and he beat only one in 11.5f Lingfield handicap ten days ago; not ruled out though if back on his A-game. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins from 43 starts, the most recent at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last January off a mark 10lb higher than today's; bounced back from a disappointing run when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned in the UAE this winter, last seen finishing tailed off at Meydan; still 4lb higher than for his last win in Britain and probably best watched after three months off. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Career highlight was at Royal Ascot 2022 but he capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; long list of possible excuses next time and not disgraced at Ascot last Saturday, so he needs a second look. |
10/1 |

Career highlight was at Royal Ascot 2022 but he capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; long list of possible excuses at Yarmouth 12 days later, so he remains of interest. |

Reliable mare but yet to make the breakthrough at Listed level (five attempts) and this second attempt at a Group race is even tougher. |
