4th 2 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
100-1 for the Derby at Epsom but showed improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; similar form later last summer in Group 3s at Newmarket and Newbury; gelded in March and some improvement is needed but he is lightly raced and may be capable of it. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
100-1 for the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good) but showed improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; again stuck to his task well when creditable second of five to a very classy winner in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m5f, good to firm) and this lightly raced 3yo could still prove capable of better; considered. |

2nd 3 (4) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Finished third in the Lingfield trial, then was an outsider in the Derby but appeared to show further improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; possibilities back down in class with this longer distance worth exploring. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; four placings from his six starts, including over this sort of trip in two novice events in April and a five-runner AW handicap on latest outing; wore cheekpieces in the latter and they are retained; he needs to find a bit extra. |
9/2 |

5 (2) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His three placings from five starts include one over C&D; handicap debut at Doncaster five weeks ago came in a hot race and over 14.5f, which he may not have stayed, a creditable effort nevertheless but he surely needs better to win this; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
7/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW (1m3f/1m4f) before 1l third in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) in April; unexposed but he needs to find some improvement now up in trip in a warm race on his handicap debut. |

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 |
|
1 (1) |
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+. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
1m4f novice winner on the AW; hard to assess right now as he's been highly tried of late but hasn't shown much; others look safer. |
14/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Off since early June when tailed off in the Italian Derby; progressive profile prior to that, including a fourth in the Lingfield Derby Trial; these terms aren't favourable but he's a 3yo who could yet have more to offer. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Four starts, easily her shortest price when always-prominent second of nine on handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) 13 days ago and that's her best form; up just 1lb, still in need of improvement but she's a lightly raced 3yo who should still be open to progress. |

27th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
28-1 and twice 18-1 when making the running on all three starts, best result when second of eight in a maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) in October; ran creditably facing a stiff task on AW reappearance (1m4f) and this handicap debut should offer much better prospects of the breakthrough win. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran away with a Class 6 handicap at Southwell last October (1m6f) off a 10lb lower mark; two runner-up finishes at Southwell last month (after a 166-day absence) and he seemed fully effective on turf last year; one to take seriously. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 152, all over 1m6f here, since a gelding operation; routed eight rivals then proved bitterly disappointing 15 days later; back from over five months off with fine second a fortnight ago (pair clear; PB); major player if putting best foot forward. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Showed the benefit of a gelding operation when winning a C&D handicap by 9l in October but he was raised 8lb and was well held on his next start; needs to bounce back following a 166-day break. |
