11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Reappeared over C&D (good) in May in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) having been gelded, and he won that big-field handicap from Thunder Run and Altareq to make it 3-6; fine effort in clear second in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm), where outstayed, and he's due to be 6lb higher in future handicaps; leading claims back down in trip. |

2nd 4 (17) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won in good style in a small field at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October in his second handicap; gelded and tongue tied when returning over 1m2f in 15-runner handicap at York (good; unraced on firmer) five weeks ago and he won that too, racing freely in mid-division before going on over 1f out to score by 1l; up 5lb and needs to settle better but clear potential still. |

3rd 5 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Two clashes with Scandinavia last term (Royal Ascot and the St Leger) indicated there was little between them and he returned with an authoritative win in the Yorkshire Cup at York in May; all three of those races were over about 1m6f and, having turned for home in fourth when 8-1 in the 2m4f Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, he ended up beaten 24l in eighth; now tries his hand at 2m and maybe he'll get it, but others have proved their stamina. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Two clashes with Scandinavia last term (Royal Ascot and the St Leger) indicated there was little between them at about 1m6f; progress from 3yo to 4yo has delighted his trainer, backed up with an authoritative win from Al Nayyir in the Yorkshire Cup at York, again over 1m6f; lots to like but the difficulty is knowing how well he will be suited by 2m4f. |

1st 6 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Broadly progressive on a range of ground in his first season last year, despite being 0-6 after debut success; beaten a neck from off the pace in the St Leger at Doncaster (14.5f, soft) on final start; that makes him one of the form picks in today's field and, although this trip may eventually turn out to be shorter than ideal, he should be a big player. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't show much in three AW runs at up to 1m4f for Hugo Palmer early last year; now goes handicapping after a gelding operation but he changed hands for just 1,000gns and needs improvement after a long absence. |

5th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
24,000gns yearling; brother to a US 5f/5.5f winner but he made his debut over 9.4f at Wolverhampton last month and was always behind after a slow start; should know more this time but he needs a transformation upped in trip. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Promising start for this yard before two lesser efforts (latterly behind a Prescott good thing); returning to further on slow ground should be beneficial. |
11/2 |

4th 5 (13) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First two Flat runs for this yard were fairly encouraging, beaten 3l over C&D in June and second of 11 at Pontefract (1m4f, good) the following month; lacked the gears at Musselburgh last time but he's still of some interest. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two encouraging Flat runs for new stable, latterly when second of 11 at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 24 days ago; 1lb higher today but still holds stronger claims than many. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in novice events but he was a market springer on his handicap debut at Redcar in April (1m2f, good; blinkered first time); dropped away having over-raced on that occasion and he left Kevin Ryan afterwards; never dangerous on stable debut at Pontefract two weeks ago; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Modest form so far and was a long way from justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) on final start for Kevin Ryan; this trip should suit better; new aids replace first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |
