18th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Irish-trained gelding who has a US pedigree; two from two, both wins over 1m at Southwell; faces a stiffer task on bare figures upped in grade but is a promising type who could well rate higher. |

Sold unraced in January for 3,400gns and looked money well spent when making all over C&D on debut three weeks ago (2-1 joint-favourite); open to improvement and he's a strong contender despite the widest stall. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Tongue tied all starts; beat a good one on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) last December and regained winning thread in quite valuable handicap at that track (1m2f) in May; gelded after weakening in 1m4f Royal Ascot handicap in June and weakened again on comeback at York (first-time cheekpieces) 18 days ago; blinkers tried this time and he's not one to give up on just yet. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Beat subsequent Group winner Merchant on his debut and kicked off handicap career with a third and a first over 1m2f; 6lb higher than for the last of those wins but he was only 13-2 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and has been gelded since that 10l defeat; could still be open to further progress and cheekpieces join his regular tongue-tie. |

He has run to a similar level in two 1m runs at Southwell and Kempton this spring; not sure to need this far on pedigree but he remains capable of better. |

Scored on the Flat for Tom Clover at Newbury over 1m2f last May; placed in both starts over hurdles, albeit tending to jump out to the left; should improve and looks the main danger to Mister Ursus. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark with tongue-tie added at Kempton (1m, AW) in April 2025, but he had a long spell on the sidelines before finishing tailed off in two runs this summer; still has low-mileage but he needs a revival. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at Kempton (1m, AW; first-time tongue-tie) in April 2025, his fifth start, but wasn't seen again until heavy defeat at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip here; tricky to weigh up. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Formerly with Andrew Balding; has been placed at up to 12.5f in 5-10 starts; didn't appear to have any obvious excuses when beaten 7l when upped to this trip here latest; that's clearly not put connections off trying again and he's well treated on some of last year's form. |

5th 5 (3) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

0-9 for Andrew Balding, but runner-up in three of his last four starts; up in trip for this stable debut after seven months off and holds each-way claims if ready to go; no headgear today. |

2nd 5 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but he's finished placed in three of his five handicaps and had some traffic issues when sixth at Kempton (1m4f) last time; wasn't beaten far in that race and he's in the mix back on Tapeta. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Form figures of 121611 in his six handicaps, with 2m aiding the cause at Newbury (good to firm) when he made all in cheekpieces on last two outings; up another 5lb but no shock if he again proves very tough to pass. |
13/8 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sent handicapping this term and has won three of those five starts, last time upped to 2m when making all to justify favouritism with first-time cheekpieces in a five-runner race over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago; raised another 5lb but he's the only 3yo in this field and he's progressing. |
13/8 |

1st 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Up in trip to score on reappearance/handicap debut in June (Wolverhampton, 1m4f) and doubled his tally when winning at Chelmsford (1m5f, also AW) at the start of this month; beaten on turf over 1m6f (good) either side of that but first time was creditable effort and it was a much better race than this 19 days ago; cheekpieces go on and he should stay this far. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten in 1m Kempton handicap on Wednesday and now 0-12; unexposed over 1m4f but it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make much difference, and he remains difficult to enthuse over. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

0-10; tailed off on his turf debut at Bath in April and beaten over 15l at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; cheekpieces back on replacing blinkers; needs to show more. |

23,000euros 3yo buy from Flat family; fell in a point in December 2022 and remote second in one last April, before sold for £4,000 in May; hooded for this rules debut and probably best watched. |
