28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
AW maiden winner and has added two turf handicaps at about 1m4f; less convincing of late and raced keenly when behind Siempre Arturo at Kempton last time. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned on turf this term, winning twice in the spring but less convincing since; gained his maiden success (easily) on AW last year and remains unexposed in this sphere. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Eight races; made the running for all three of his wins, including in handicaps over about this trip on good to firm on first two starts this season, finding plenty to end well on top; couldn't get to the front at Epsom next time and tailed off, with rain-softened ground apparently to blame; no excuse with the ground at Windsor (led over 6f out) on latest start, however, and cheekpieces are now enlisted. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won three handicaps at Lingfield (1m4f-1m5f, AW) this winter; never a threat when fourth back on turf at Windsor last month; others hold stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
20/1 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here and Taryn Langley gets on well with him, but he has never attempted this far before and he must put an uncharacteristically poor effort at Newcastle 13 days ago behind him. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Took form to new level when collecting good prize on AW in January, his 14th career success; below best on turf lately but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2025 with 1m2f handicap success at Newcastle in January, but he's failed to beat a rival on his last three runs, finishing last of 16 in 1m2f Epsom handicap 22 days ago. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from ten starts came in July 2024 on his final outing for Aidan O'Brien; unsuited by the drop back to 1m2f when sixth here last month and he shaped as if he would have benefited from a stronger gallop at Lingfield (2m, AW) 12 days ago; return to shorter may not suit. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Steep drop in trip to 1m2f counted against him last time but he'd previously shaped well when third to Barenboim over this distance at Kempton; now meets the winner on 4lb better terms; has to be of interest. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Maiden winner at the third attempt for Aidan O'Brien in 2024; has dropped 8lb since joining this yard and returned to form in the returning cheekpieces (now left off) when a keeping-on third at Kempton (2m, AW) eight days ago; not sure to be suited by the drop back in trip and now has the hood added. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Has finished out of the frame in her last five outings, but is back off the same mark as when successful over C&D last November; needs a resurgence but that's not out of the question, especially if responding positively to the first-time cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on AW form as recent as January; however, she hasn't been at the top of her game on her four starts since April (AW/turf) and needs something extra if she's to capitalise on this mark. |
12/1 |
|
5 (11) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Trained by Sir Michael Stoute when pipped in this race last year on handicap debut; made a successful start for Ralph Beckett on AW in November and went close in January (2lb lower today); however, she's not beaten many in her three starts since, back to turf for the last two; trainer won this race in 2020, 2022 and 2024. |
