29th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has shown little in five starts (Flat/hurdles) and now drops in distance; probably one for handicaps. |

Tailed off in one French Flat start (1m6f) when with David Menuisier; poor form in three hurdle races for current yard. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed with the visor left off when prevailing narrowly over C&D two weeks ago; settled a bit better that day and may have further improvement in him; raised only 2lb. |
4/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden with a tendency to race too freely; seemed to have too much use made of him when tried in a visor (now removed) over 1m2f at Lingfield last month but he ran well for a long way and this drop in trip could be a good move. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fair handicap debut at Windsor in August and ran to similar level when a nose behind Birthday Angel over C&D 19 days ago; addition of visor to tongue-tie could eke out more but draw hasn't been kind. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Poor maiden on balance and he came in only ninth for his new yard in 1m3f Kempton handicap 20 days ago; tongue tied for his Tapeta debut with lots more required. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed some ability in sole start for Jane Chapple-Hyam but subsequently achieved little in three runs for John Gallagher; big turnaround needed on debut for Heather Main. |
25/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Had one run (1m2f, AW) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and sold for 15,000gns in November; that debut was a lot better than his two runs this spring, in demanding company admittedly but he lacks solid claims for handicap debut. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly uncompetitive in all his nine races, in this headgear combination in last two starts; needs to find something from somewhere and there are doubts about the slow ground. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Unplaced all eight starts; seemingly aided by first-time hood when respectable fourth of seven at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month but needs to find something extra over this longer trip. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden who last two efforts (8.5f/1m4f, AW) suggest this return to 1m2f, combined with first-time hood, may prove ideal; improvement is not out of the question. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Progressed very well last term, culminating in his close third in Group 2 Great Voltigeur here (1m4f, good to firm) in August, until not so good trying 1m6f on final outing; rallied when close second in 1m4f French Listed event on reappearance but needs to bounce back from a tame show in Newbury Group 3; tongue tied first time on this second attempt at 1m6f. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Progressed very well as 3yo last term, culminating in his close third in Group 2 Great Voltigeur at York (1m4f, good to firm) in August, until not so good trying 1m6f in Listed race on final outing; always close up and rallied when close second in 1m4f Listed event at Longchamp on reappearance; may well have more to give but it is needed in today's company. |
5/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won two novice events in the spring and a late surge took him to within a nose of victory in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) in July; close third of seven in Group 2 Great Voltigeur at York (1m4f, good to firm) in August, coming from the back in something of a tactical race; 1m6f looks within reach and this highly progressive colt is top on form. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won a maiden and two handicaps from his five starts, the latest win at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f); good fourth of eight when upped to Group 3 at York (1m1f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; needs to maintain his progressive profile but that is possible. |
3/1 |

4th 7 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has run four times, with his sole defeat coming at the hands of Wednesday's close Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; made it 2-2 in handicaps when winning in a big field at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago (1m1f, good; has also won on good to firm); today's company demands further and sizeable improvement but that can't be ruled out from this progressive 3yo. |
11/2 |
|
12 (13) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three runs have come on AW/good to firm; back to winning ways at Sandown (1m1f) in June on his first handicap start; did it in convincing fashion and this unexposed 3yo could take a 7lb rise in his stride. |
