9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won on the Rowley Mile here (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Newbury to win over this C&D (good) three weeks ago; it was a blanket finish last time but he's just 2lb higher today and the fourth has won since; this progressive 4yo is now 4-8 and is high on the list. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Soundly beaten at Newbury (1m, good) last time following a 9lb rise for his win on the other Newmarket course earlier last month (1m, good to firm; made virtually all); however, this lightly raced 4yo impressed on that penultimate outing and his current mark may not be beyond him. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Six races overall and his only two on turf resulted in one front-running win at Newmarket last April (1m2f, good) and another two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); being dropped back in trip worked a treat last time and, although hit with a 9lb rise, better still may well be forthcoming. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins and three seconds from his only five races; justified favouritism in a 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and launched a strong challenge for valuable handicap at Ascot (1m4f, soft) four weeks ago, drawing nearly 6l clear of the third; 1m6f now looks worth a go and he's one of the leading contenders on form. |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden winner who came up shy under penalties but confirmed himself progressive when justifying favouritism in a 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft); hit with a 7lb rise but that form has been franked and this colt might well have appreciably more to offer; the one to beat. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October and reappeared with good seconds in further novice events at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft); needs better on this handicap debut but early days and there's plenty to suggest this longer trip can help. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Has run in three novice events, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) on debut in January; bang there at Newmarket and fourth to Masai Moon at Nottingham (again 1m2f on good) was creditable; granddam was Oaks winner and he also shapes as if improvement is likely at 1m4f; handicap debut. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
All the rage in the betting for his first two starts this season, with the line coming a touch too soon on first occasion (1m2f); rather muted on the step up to 1m4f behind Wine Dark Sea at Ascot (good to firm) next time but the combination of 1m6f and first-time headgear worked a treat at Goodwood (good) seven weeks ago when he travelled much the best on his way to a tidy win; 5lb rise may well underestimate what he had in the tank. |
3/1 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
All the rage in the betting for both starts this term; the line came a touch too soon for his strong finish at Newbury (1m2f) on handicap/seasonal debut, while trying to come from further off the pace did not work out at Ascot on the step up to 1m4f but he did muster some late headway (despite hanging right); that sees him upped further in trip today with first-time headgear; it will be interesting to see whether his backers dare go in again. |
15/8 |

6th 10 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
All the rage in the betting but found the line coming just too soon for his strong finish when second (Bulletin close up in third) of 14 to Rathgar (won again since) on 1m2f Newbury handicap debut and reappearance three weeks ago; that first experience of a big-field handicap should aid his development and he left the strong impression 1m4f will suit; leading claims with further improvement highly. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive on AW last autumn and he's been a bit better this season too; won five-runner race at Goodwood (upped to 2m, good) in May and, having been mid-division at Royal Ascot (2m4f), made most when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); in the mix. |
11/2 |

5th 6 (17) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive on AW last autumn, including here, and another improved effort when he won a five-runner race at Goodwood (upped to 2m, good) this May; mid-division at 14-1 in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes 11 days ago, not discredited but he probably needs to resume improvement in another major handicap today. |

Progressive on AW last autumn and another improved effort when he went on over 3f out to win a five-runner race at Goodwood (upped to 2m, good) on latest outing; up 4lb but could have more to give as a stayer. |

Hasn't progressed from his debut run and beat one home on handicap debut at Windsor (1m3f) when tried in a hood; others are more intriguing. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Shaped with promise on his Wolverhampton debut (8.6f) in March but he's struggled after pulling hard in his last two starts (1m2f); still early days and hood is now added on handicap debut but he needs to settle much better to make an impact. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Top-class pedigree and came good on his fifth start when blinkered at Windsor (1m, soft), where he was nicely on top at the finish; up 6lb but could have turned a corner. |
11/4 |

1st 3 (3) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Top-class pedigree but he ran to a modest level in three novice/maiden runs and he fared no better on his handicap debut at Newmarket last month (1m2f, good to firm); too soon to write him off and dropping in trip/class in new blinkers could see him fare better. |
11/2 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120), so going handicapping off a mark of 66 has to catch the eye; latest was easily his closest finish, when about 7l sixth of nine in Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm; 50-1) in April, and he's been gelded since; needs better but market confidence would be interesting. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Developed into fairly useful 1m2f Flat handicapper this season; raced far too freely when second on both hurdling starts, more recently when 2-11 favourite at Stratford (2m, good) last month, where he built up a big lead before capitulating in the home staight; has plenty of ability but comes with risk attached; tongue-tie refitted. |

9st 4lb |
Trailed home last of nine in Newmarket contest (1m2f) three months ago on debut; attracted some support and is evidently thought capable of better. |
