8st 11lb |
Showed a useful level of ability in his first season of racing for Sir Michael Stoute, winning a 1m2f novice at Nottingham last May and in the money in his next three starts (including both handicaps); still has considerable potential and intriguing that he's being dropped markedly in trip by his new trainer (dam a 6f Listed winner); market useful in relation to stablemate Elmonjed. |

Yet to encounter soft/heavy; won at Nottingham in May; folded inside the final 1f at Chester (again 1m2f; handicap debut) most recently but held on for a creditable second and that form is working out very well; still open to further progress and looks interesting off the same mark. |

Progressed well in the second half of 2024 and he's a shade unfortunate not to have won both starts this year, finishing off well at Kempton last month and then picked off close home at Southwell nine days ago; fast turf no problem and he's a leading contender; yard also run Dark Thirty. |

Did well last autumn, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster and Wolverhampton either side of his second in the Ayr Silver Cup; heavily backed on his seasonal return at Kempton last week and went close, finishing with a flourish but unable to quite peg back the front-running winner; up 2lb but strong claims all the same. |

Tough 2yo; bright start to her 3yo campaign, winning at this meeting before adding another C&D success one month later; ran fine races in defeat in two hot 5f handicaps at Ascot afterwards before turning in a rare disappointing effort at Ayr's Western meeting (Listed race; sent off favourite); 3-3 on the Rowley course and can go well fresh; should go well. |

Promising when winning both his 2yo starts; proved expensive to follow in his early races last year but he was fitted with blinkers prior to winning at Windsor in August and he followed that up by seeing off 18 rivals in a hot race at York's Ebor meeting; surprising if there isn't more to come from him this year but the absence of headgear is a slight concern; stable also represented by More Thunder. |

Won both 2yo starts with more authority than the winning margin; beaten favourite this year in his first three handicaps, twice at this track, but blinkers worked a treat at Windsor 12 days ago (6f, good to firm) as he travelled with more enthusiasm and found plenty when challenged; 2lb rise is negligible and he retains significant potential. |

Eyecatching debut for Pam Sly when fourth to Dark Thirty at Doncaster 16 days ago (6f, good), doing best of the stands' side group; has the ability to feature off a good mark but he isn't straightforward (often races too freely) and possible he would prefer slower ground too. |

Most of his racing for David Simcock (including his three wins) was at 7f and he was no match for Aramram over this trip at Wolverhampton last October; sold for 35,000gns later that month and new yard likely to find the key to him sooner rather than later; not ideally drawn for a prominent racer. |
