3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins have been at Newbury, in a maiden over 1m3f last April and a Group 3 over 1m5f (good to firm) last August; respectable sixth in the St Leger in September but he's been below that level in all four starts since, including when beating only Duke Of Oxford home over this C&D in May; drops back to 2m having contested the Gold Cup two weeks ago. |
5/1 |

10th 8 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Second to Carmers in bunched finish to 1m6f Queen's Vase here last year and impressive in Group 3 at Newbury (1m5f, again good to firm) last August; he's been put firmly in his place on all four outings since, however, beaten just over 4l behind Scandinavia and Rahiebb in the St Leger at Doncaster on first occasion, which was creditable, but singularly underwhelming this season in Yorkshire Cup and 2m Sandown Group 3; needs a huge turnaround. |
66/1 |

6th 7 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
He hasn't kicked on since beating Epic Poet to win the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) last August and failed to threaten when fourth in the Yorkshire Cup at York three weeks ago; however, he could improve for that first outing since finishing mid-division in the Melbourne Cup (gelded between those starts); this 4yo remains one to be interested in. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Bumped into a smart opponent when second on his Newbury debut last April (1m3f, good); absent 378 days (gelded) prior to an odds-on reverse at Southell seven weeks ago, a race where he looked a tricky ride; now tongue tied; remains capable of better. |
2/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Encouraging second to a subsequent Group winner on his debut in a Newbury maiden (1m3f, good) last April; off since and has been gelded; must be taken seriously. |
5/4 |

2nd 6 (2) |
12th Apr 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 2 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, bit short of room when headway over 3f out, went second inside final furlong, no match for winner, promising |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender. |
6/4 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Some decent runs in defeat when trained in UK; got off the mark on debut for this yard when winning a 1m4f Roscommon maiden; the third that day has since won a maiden; handled soft on debut and is one to consider. |

11-race maiden under both codes and only recently changed hands for 1,200gns after pulling up on his handicap debut over hurdles. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on both Flat starts for this stable in the autumn and showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles this spring; may fair better now handicapping but others have more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't progressed from a good 2yo effort and he holds weak claims on Flat/hurdles form for current yard; however, may be capable of a resurgent display, with this contest being far from strong. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Hinted at promise on last month's debut at Newbury (1m3f, good) and won easily at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; from a classy family and should continue to progress; leading claims under 6lb penalty. |

4th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dam a 1m4f winner (RPR 92) and closely related to 1m2f-2m4f Group 1 winner Fame And Glory; held up in last at Newbury (1m3f, good; 6-1) but was picking up nicely late on and looks a surefire improver. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to hang on to her lead when making handicap debut at Windsor (extended 1m3f) last May; has run some sound races since, including on Tapeta (1m6f) in October, and perhaps just needed the run at Kempton (1m3f) 12 days ago; shouldn't be far away. |
9/2 |

6th 5 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May last year and ran her best race since when second of six at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) in October; not quite sure how she will cope with the drop in trip after six months off. |
5/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressed well at up to 1m4f during the summer but backward steps the last twice and has questions to answer regards the trip and surface. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Came up well short at Group level last summer but resumed his progression back in calmer waters with a 1m4f Newbury handicap debut success (good to firm) last August; this low-mileage sort has the potential for better again in 2026. |
9/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
First three runs were in maidens and he made all at Chester (1m4f, good) in May; the Derby proved far too tough for him next time and so did 1m6f Group 2 at Royal Ascot 11 days later; his sights are lowered dramatically for this handicap debut and he needs a close look. |
4/1 |

12th 1 (1) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
First three runs were in maidens and he made all at Chester (1m4f, good); the Derby proved far too tough for him only 11 days ago and he was so comprehensively out of his comfort zone that this race too looks hard. |
