30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Nottingham maiden winner who outran his 100-1 odds to finish fourth in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) having been bang there throughout before wilting in the closing stages; a fast colt who will have no trouble going the early pace and should be very competitive. |

4th 2 (2) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Midfield on Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) but stepped up from that when winning a Nottingham maiden (5f, good) 18 days ago (runner-up filled same position at Chester last weekend); open to further progress but that form leaves him with plenty to find at this level; stable won this in 2011. |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Slowly away from outside stall and raced too freely on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) but showed significant ability before fading into sixth; ought to have learned from that experience and can improve. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
All starts at 5f on good or good to firm; no wins since his debut success at Musselburgh 13 months ago but he ran a belter when second of 20 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; again very useful form when beaten around 2l by Revival Power in Listed C&D event in August and Doncaster Group 2 three weeks later; solid each-way claims on this reappearance. |
9/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to encounter slow ground; consistent form since debut win features placed efforts in notable races won by Havana Hurricane, Lady Iman and Revival Power; needs improvement to reverse placings with those rivals. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Free-going colt with tonnes of early pace; it wasn't the strongest Windsor Castle (5f, good to firm) in which he finished second at Royal Ascot but he won the race on the stands' side and he backed that up with a good third (Rydale Frosty a head back in fourth) in the Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good); bang there on form. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Amassed an impressive CV in her opening runs last season; won her AW maiden before landing a 5f Curragh Listed contest, and a Naas Group 3; failed to justify 8-15 odds in a Curragh Group 2 before resuming progress with a Molecomb Stakes victory at Goodwood; form tapered off in her final two Group runs; big player on ratings but lacks a run. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on softer than good; down the field in the Nunthorpe when taking on her elders last time; very productive (11121) otherwise and beat some of today's rivals in the Molecomb at Goodwood; leading form claims back against own age group. |
3/1 |

16 (4) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 2lb |
High-class sprinting juvenile whose sole defeat in five starts came over 6f in June; put the record straight with another improved show to win a 5f Group 3 at Goodwood under a penalty since; that wasn't the strongest of races, her main victims having marks in the 90s, but this easy track looks sure to suit her style and with the serious weight concession from her elders she has obvious claims; has been supplemented. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bounced back from a blip in the Coventry at Royal Ascot when narrowly denied in 5f Listed event at Sandown (good) in July; one of two who raced near side and wide of the main group when seventh in the Molecomb at Goodwood since and it's probably worth forgiving that; William Buick seemingly prefers him to Silent Applause. |
4/1 |

4 (8) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Only blip was in the Coventry when nowhere near his best on only attempt at 6f; beat last weekend's Group 3 winner Fitzella for his second success and the filly who narrowly denied him at Sandown last time (5f Listed, good) was second to Fitzella at Ascot; perhaps vulnerable to a real top-notcher (Lady Iman could be) but he's likely to be involved in the finish. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins at about 5f (good to firm and good) as 2yo for previous yard; no progress for this one in 2026, finishing in mid-division at Newmarket (first-time cheekpieces, retained) in April; gelded since; likely needs more weight off his back kept to 6f. |
25/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Reasonably exposed and doesn't look the answer on the balance of his AW form this year; gained his 2yo wins at a lower level; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Three fair efforts this year but without suggesting he was well enough handicapped for a race of this nature. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
6f novice win at Windsor last July before appearing to improve when fourth in the Group 3 Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; form hasn't worked out at all); struggled thereafter and he makes his seasonal/handicap debut off a tough mark; has been gelded since last seen. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (14) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game. |
11/1 |

5 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Continued his steady progress with fourth in the Molecomb (good) at Goodwood when dropped to 5f, having won novice event earlier in July; form dipped at the York Ebor festival and reverts to 6f needing a rebound. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won 5f novice events at Carlisle and Newcastle this summer before a fine third in the Super Sprint at Newbury (5f, good); highly tried since and today's return to 5f should be in his favour; not ruled out now making his nursery debut. |
5/1 |
|
6 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well in the Super Sprint at Newbury during his spell over 5f; not disgraced when favourite for 6f sales race at Newmarket (good to firm) most recently, albeit failed to improve for the new trip. |
16/1 |

1 (20) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Found himself isolated from the main action when disappointing in a Group 3 at Goodwood; had been nicely progressive and was conceding weight to the front two (including Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane) when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury despite losing his focus and wandering when hitting the front; strong chance, provided he gets home over 6f (kept to 5f thus far). |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 9lb |
2yo Listed winner at Newmarket last June and has run well when fourth in Group 3/Listed races on her two starts this spring, but she would be a shock winner today. |

4th 1 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Scored three times at 2yrs (including in 6f Listed event at Newmarket in June) and also runner-up in the Molecomb here; returned with a good fourth of 13 in Group 3 at Chantilly (5.5f, good) 18 days ago so must enter calculations. |
8/1 |

6 (5) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Useful filly over 5f and 6f; Listed winner on the July course; respectable third in the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar (good to soft) most recently; reached her ceiling a while back, however. |
