1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden and a novice last summer before coming up short in stronger company; gelded over the winter; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Newbury last month (6f Listed; 40-1 at the time of withdrawal); this should be more suitable but others bring stronger claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Gained one of his 2yo wins over C&D but had his limitations rather exposed in better races subsequently; gelded after final outing; stiff task on on reappearance, being bottom of this pack on ratings. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Close fourth in AW Group 3 at Kempton last time but failed to show improvement and his limitations have been rather exposed since maiden/novice wins; the first-time headgear needs to help. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Posted good performances (won/second) in sales races last term and ran creditably off top weight in Newmarket handicap (6f, good) on reappearance; however, has something to find on ratings in this field. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (15) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten favourite in the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar when last seen but otherwise a progressive sort and may do better still; performed well in sales races at York (won) and Doncaster (close second; form has been strongly franked); capable of playing a big role, even off top weight. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Assembling an impressive CV and he followed a win in a valuable sales race at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) with a fine second in a similar event at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft; made most); open to further improvement and high on the list. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Second in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August is the best form in this field; it's also, however, easily his best form (four races) after he trailed the field in a much stronger Newmarket sales race (7f, good) in October; gelded since and has to be considered seriously. |
6/1 |

26th 5 (8) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Could improve for the step up to 7f as he was strong through the line when second in a 6f sales race on the July course, which was improved form; this has the look of a much deeper race, however. |
40/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ran better second time out at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and would have been closer but for hanging; quite likely capable of a lot better than he's shown. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
AW Group 3 winner last September and bettered that form when 2.75l fourth to Wise Approach (Brussels second, Coppull third) in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; late headway for seventh of 14 in 5f Group 3 back at Newmarket on reappearance; likely to benefit from the return to 6f but whether he's quite good enough remains to be seen. |
10/1 |
|
7th 14 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
All races at 6f, improving on front-running novice (good to firm) and AW Group 3 wins when beaten less than 3l in the Group 1 Middle Park on this course in September; from a yard that's much respected with sprinters but this still asks a lot on the drop to 5f. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Substandard winner of the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f, AW; Group 3) where he made all and held on by only a neck, taking form figures to 411; however, he's an improving sort and plausibly hasn't reached his ceiling yet; gained his turf success on good to firm. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In the placings on all five starts on a variety of surfaces as a juvenile (6f/7f) and he deservedly made the breakthrough on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; respectable fifth of 14 at Hamilton on his recent handicap debut and this experiment at 5f looks worth a go. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Placed on all his five runs at 2yrs before (gelded) getting off the mark in 6f Newcastle maiden on his return last month; he must enter calculations back in handicap company. |
9/1 |

1st 3 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
The most experienced of these and has been placed on all five starts at 6f and 7f; has been gelded since his last run in October and he should go close. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden who is making belated handicap debut; chance of opening his account largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
