30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Successful in May in a novice at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and in taking style on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good); creditable third of eight, again from off the pace, in valuable contest at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, which offers the prospect of further progress back at 1m4f. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made it third-time lucky when winning Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in May and he followed up on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good) four weeks later; that latest form has taken some knocks but he scored in good style from off the steady pace and is open to more improvement; respected up 7lb. |

9st 7lb |
All three runs on Polytrack, improving to win 11-runner novice at Chelmsford (1m2f) on reappearance in clearcut fashion with the front two clear; turf debut asks a question but he's likely to stay and looks a promising handicap debutant. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden; two sound runs over 1m2f after being gelded last August (relegated after passing post in front on second occasion); disappointing at 1m4f this season, but drop to 1m not sure to suit; visor now tried. |
3/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
First past the post (demoted to second having caused interference) in a handicap at Beverley last August but he failed to beat a rival at Meydan (1m4f, good) 41 days ago; dropping back in trip should suit and he may bounce back on his return to Britain. |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten on handicap debut in June but, having been gelded, showed improved form when second of seven at Sandown (again 1m2f on good) eight weeks later; travelled best in the latter and needs to see the race out a bit better if he's to make this his first win. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Went close in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) last May on third and final outing for Gosdens and, having been detached early, he was a very promising third of 15 on his stable/handicap debut at York (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; well bred and could take a sizeable step forward from that latest effort. |
7/2 |

3rd 16 (17) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Improved upon his first two runs when going close for the Gosdens in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) last May; gelded subsequently and sold for 95,000gns last October; this well-bred 4yo is a very interesting recruit for Jim Goldie but he makes his handicap/stable debut in a hot race following a year off, and it's hard to know what to expect. |

2nd 1 (6) |
16th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Brother to 1m2f Listed winner Al Asifah; weakened out of serious contention in both the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good; behind two of these) and novice at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW; 6-4 favourite, neck ahead of the promising Respond) 15 days later; still showed fair form but a fair bit better will be required to win this. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on the AW since returning in February, easily justifying short odds at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March; no problem with the return to turf having won over this trip at Haydock (good) last August; can take a hold, but may settle better in this big field and he remains unexposed; a player. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Solid efforts in defeat in his first three handicaps, before taking his form to another level when winning a six-runner race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; he was 1-2 that day, made most and won in good style; 8lb higher and not nearly so well drawn but this could still be a good mark. |

Only three ran but he beat a Prescott improver with the pair clear over C&D a month ago and, defying his pedigree, saw the trip out well; now has 2lb higher mark but Jack Callan is enlisted to claim 5lb. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Not bred for this sort of trip but turned in his best effort to date last Tuesday, upped to 1m6f on his Tapeta debut; that was only a 0-55 in which he again started a big price but it gave something to build on. |

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. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Flat background; mildly progressive when first then second in two 4yo hurdles but he ran miserably switched to handicaps at Sedgefield where his jumping didn't stand the test; returning to slower ground may help but unlikely that he's on that great a mark. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

A fair staying maiden on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; has made a positive start in this sphere, scoring at Catterick (2m) in January and backing it up with a good second of seven in 2m Kelso juvenile 32 days ago; not out of things now going into handicaps. |

Scored twice (1m6f/2m) for Darryll Holland last August and made an encouraging start for his new yard when third on Lingfield AW in March; however, tailed off back on turf (which should have been okay) one month ago. |

Scored twice (1m6f/2m) for Darryll Holland last August and made an encouraging start for his new yard when third to St Faz on Lingfield AW five weeks ago; the first of those wins was impressive over 1m6f on good to firm and he's one to consider despite today's 15lb higher mark. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Beaten a long way in three qualifying runs over 1m2f/1m4f in May/June, including 22l last of three at Salisbury on the final one; has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut after a 100-day break; not bred to be a stayer but is a half-brother to some useful sorts and needs a betting check in a race where nothing arrives with compelling claims. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |

Hooded for both starts to date but he still pulled hard when said to have become unbalanced early at Newbury last month; there must be a good chance he over-races again, in a small field upped in trip, and he's up against it even if settling better. |
