10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Comes back fresh after ten-week break and may tap back into earlier progress that featured a C&D Listed success and good second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas; warrants respect. |

4th 1 (1) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Followed 7f Newmarket Listed win (good) in May with a second to Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); travelled notably strongly for a long way back at 7f for the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville last month but folded tamely, possibly due to the soft ground; the one to beat on his best form but could possibly have done without Thursday's rain. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
One of three for Juddmonte; three wins from three, having recorded impressive wins in 7f novice events at Sandown (good) and Kempton (AW); looked a potentially high-class performer when overcoming quirkiness to win 7f Listed at Newmarket (good) on latest; both the third and sixth have won Listed-class races since; contender. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No match for the subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year over C&D on debut in April but it was still an encouraging start to his career; absent since but still more appealing than many. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Displayed promise in the spring on his first three starts (7f/8.6f, AW); returns from a break having been gelded and if he's anywhere near his best he'll be tough to beat for his top yard. |

27th May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Promising fourth of 13 behind the smart Cosmic Year on Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) and beaten just a short head in a first-time tongue-tie (now removed) in a five-runner Newcastle maiden (7f, Tapeta; third has won since) next time; high on list. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; unable to reproduce that form since, most recently on handicap debut at Doncaster, but gelded since and that may help him tap back into his initial promise; represents top yard; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; not discounted. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but he has not been with Jim Goldie long and his latest Musselburgh third (1m, good) was encouraging; Paul Mulrennan replaces an apprentice today and a bigger effort could be forthcoming. |

3rd 12 (13) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-10 and has come seventh on his three starts for this yard (7f/6f); however, he hasn't been running badly, with his latest effort coming in a big field at Thirsk, and there have been hints that his return to 1m may suit. |

7th 11 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

0-9 but he hasn't been with Jim Goldie for long and getting back on turf should help; drop back to 6f another possible source of improvement. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated. |
11/4 |

1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins since returned to AW in September and she's finished runner-up in her last four starts; didn't get much luck when a close second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago and she's a key player off only 1lb higher here. |

Nosed ahead close home at Chelmsford (1m5f) five days ago, taking record since racing in AW handicaps to 12331; incurs a penalty but Joe Bradnam takes off 7lb; gives impression she'll stay this new trip; solid. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he finished well when runner-up over C&D (heavy) last autumn; returns after five months but he's handicapped on his best form and has had only three runs for current yard; needs a close look with hood added. |

Front-runner who finished unplaced in his first 11 starts, but made a winning reappearance here on the AW in March; posted another solid effort at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; beaten 1l) 11 days ago and has claims if handling this switch back to turf. |
