3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess. |
12/1 |

10th 7 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Raced over 6f as a 2yo, winning a Windsor novice by daylight last June and third in Listed race here three weeks later; soft ground excuses his poor run when last seen; improvement required for the longer trip and/or a gelding operation if he is to win today. |
12/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won by 6l at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June on second start and has made the frame in 6f Listed races at Newbury and Ripon on his last two starts; could make an impact on nursery debut if coping with the slow ground. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No impact in four starts over 6f/7f on turf/AW last year; big improvement required back from seven months off. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Faces his first realistic assignment now handicapping but he will need to leave his earlier efforts well behind him. |

2nd 10 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Always behind when 50-1 for seasonal debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; Panthere Noir third) one week ago; needs to have taken considerable benefit from that outing. |
50/1 |

11th 15 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Well held in four starts last summer (6f-1m), latterly on his nursery/AW debut; would want to see some support this time back from such a layoff. |
40/1 |
|
7 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten upwards of 13l in three starts over 6f/7f on turf; open to improvement on nursery debut, but it will certainly be needed. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't run badly on his seasonal return last month (first start after a gelding operation) but he is only 1lb lower and needs to raise his game a notch. |
16/1 |
|
4th 10 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise when seventh on his handicap debut at Newbury (7f) in September; since gelded and could still do better on his seasonal return with his yard going well. |
20/1 |
|
10 (11) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Stepped forward from Windsor debut when a never-nearer fifth in useful-looking maiden at Sandown (good) in July; looked a potential improver but didn't build on that when fourth of nine on AW debut at Kempton (also 7f); by no means one to give up on returned to turf in his first nursery. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden but placed in four of them, including when a close third at Lingfield on last month's seasonal debut (7f, AW); that run can be upgraded (forced wide) and he should have no issue with the return to turf; more appealing than many. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (11) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gelded since finishing last of eight on his nursery debut (behind Mighty Vega) four months ago; stable enjoying a decent spring but he'll need much more from the outside stall. |
12/1 |
|
5 (4) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second favourite for novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, running green but making late progress into third of nine; that looked promising but runner-up did nothing for the form on Wednesday. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
7-1 from 25-1 for maiden at Leicester (6f, good) last month but showed his inexperience and was fighting a losing battle before halfway, finishing ninth of 13; the market support is noted but he now looks hard to fancy. |
8/1 |

27th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
20,000gns foal, 65,000gns yearling; Sergei Prokofiev half-brother to two winners, notably Tropical Island (5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 96); dam 5f 2yo scorer (79), out of 5f 2yo winner; looks a likely sort. |
