19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
6.5f 2yo maiden winner (heavy) who has posted respectable efforts the last twice, most recently fourth of five in Sandown handicap (7f, good to firm) where his momentum was checked over 1f out; might not be far away. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6.5f winner as a 2yo; ran creditably in the face of a difficult task at Salisbury (1m) last time behind Stanhope Gardens who subsequently ran well in the Derby; this should be more realistic. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Firm-ground winner as 2yo; ended 2025 with a 7f win on Kempton AW in December (first-time cheekpieces) but slowly away and well held in two of last three starts; respectable effort at Ripon in between but others look more likely; yard won two of the last five runnings. |
25/1 |
|
10th 13 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw him win a C&D handicap (Metaverse second) in December off a 1lb higher mark; not at the same level in a pair of competitive 6f handicaps this summer (gelded prior to the first of them); needs a full revival. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Kempton (cheekpieces first time); well beaten at Goodwood 17 days ago on his return from a 175-day break (gelded during the absence); better than that but still not easily recommended. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Swiftly in the groove for his new yard this year and he won a big-field sprint at York (6f, good to firm) in July; good third of 13 off this mark four weeks ago and he's a leading candidate again. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Doing well for his new yard and nicely on top at the finish in a big field at York a month ago (6f, good to firm); up 5lb but looks a big player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he shouldn't be long in putting that right judged on his last two runs at Windsor and Newmarket (both 6f, good to firm); one to take seriously. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has stood up well to a busy year, winning three times and better than ever when successful at Brighton (7f, good) in September; not quite at that level in two runs since but perhaps fitting a visor in place of cheekpieces will help. |
9/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Notched a third success of 2026 at Brighton (7f) in September; backed it up with a solid fourth of nine in 7f handicap at Beverley 13 days ago; this consistent sort ought to be in the shake-up again. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins this year, including C&D, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Brighton (7f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise in a deeper race could leave him vulnerable. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (6.5f/7f) in Qatar in February but he's failed to shine in his three British starts since May, most recently at Windsor on Monday. |
40/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins (6.5f/7f) in Qatar in February and runner-up there over 10.5f in April; switched to Britain for two races this summer, not disgraced at 100-1 under Ashley Lewis at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on latest, although only 17th of 24; lacks solid claims but this is a big drop in class. |
9/1 |
|
20 (1) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two wins over further in Qatar this year and also ran well over an extended 1m2f in April; tailed off in a 1m Listed event at Sandown (first British attempt) three weeks ago; hard to recommend now dropped markedly in trip. |
