17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Nearly all races at 1m+ but he travelled well before winning his first 7f handicap, at Thirsk in September, beating one who was well in under a penalty, pair clear; not clear run on Southwell AW since but looks capable of better back on turf. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over further but proved suited by the return to 7f at Thirsk most recently, opening his account at the 21st attempt; another win is far from inconceivable kept to this distance. |

1st 3 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He's 0-20 but he went too freely without his usual hood after six months off when fifth of six in 8.5f Wolverhampton AW handicap 13 days ago; can take a step forward now in refitted headgear. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth foal; half-brother to three winners for connections notably 1m2f Group 2 winner Lilac Road; bred to have a bright future but Tom Marquand rides once-raced stablemate Fan Club, who may be the yard's chief hope. |

9st 7lb |
Became regressive in Britain last year after a promising debut; well beaten on Laytown debut for this yard; distant fourth in 1m maiden claimer at Bellewstown; first try at sprinting on handicap debut; cheekpieces. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise over C&D (good to firm) on debut last May; best efforts since have come on AW, including his breakthrough success at Kempton four weeks ago (1m); up in class and back on turf but he does smack of one with a fair bit more to come. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-race maiden but he's finished runner-up twice including in a C&D handicap (5-1) two weeks ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he still has potential as a handicapper. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed once in four starts and that was when a well-held second of three in a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) in October; surprising if he isn't capable of better, though, given his pedigree and 240,000gns price tag. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good; peak form) in April but hasn't lived up to that; tailed off on good to soft at Sandown 18 days ago and connections turn to headgear. |

11th 9 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made successful reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April but hasn't built on that, only tenth at York in June; bit to prove. |

10th 6 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Haydock maiden winner on last year's return and he again made a successful reappearance when impressively taking ten-runner Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) in April; bit below that form when beaten 8l at Goodwood (City Of Delight second, Urban Glimpse behind) off this mark six weeks ago, however. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year but hasn't come up to scratch subsequently and needs to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year and he got no run when down the field in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July; however, he was soundly beaten at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time and has to raise his game. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player. |
7/2 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree. |

Encouraging third on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in December and filled the same position when favourite at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; in good hands to progress but others have more substance to their claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose by Qilin Queen (now BHA-rated 105) on debut last August but she's been below that level in four starts this year; cheekpieces (worn last time) are retained on this AW debut; others preferred. |
3/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ran to a useful level on her 2yo debut (beaten a nose by a filly now BHA-rated 106) but she hasn't kicked on this year, most recently beaten at odds of 4-9 at Ffos Las (1m, soft); cheekpieces now given a go. |
4/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Inexperience cost her the race at Salisbury last August (1m, good to firm) when nosed out by subsequent Group 2 winner Qilin Queen; flopped when favourite on Haydock reappearance in May but she bounced back with a respectable third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; sets a good standard on her initial form and she's a key player on this drop back in trip. |
