11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Comfortably held over 1m at Royal Ascot last time; 2-2 in 7f handicaps, both Class 4 events from the front, including over C&D; may have more to offer back at this trip and back in calmer waters. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Outclassed in a sales race in October but progressive otherwise and had plenty in hand when winning a Class 4 7f handicap under Alexandra Egan at Yarmouth in April (good to firm; 6lb lower); should win further races but opposable in this one. |

Outclassed in a valuable sales race in October but progressive going into that, culminating in a front-running win on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); 5lb higher for this return and 7lb claimer is recruited. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winning 5f debut; had wind surgery after abortive Royal Ascot run and only just failed to make a successful handicap debut at Newmarket (7f; form worked out) in August; challenge petered out on a quickish return at York (7f) but he still has something to offer at this level now back at 6f. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning debut in spite of the 5f trip here in May; down the field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, after which he underwent wind surgery; well backed on his recent nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) where he couldn't quite peg back a rival who enjoyed the run of the race; raised 2lb but it's unlikely we have seen the best of him just yet; stable won this race last year. |

260,000euros yearling; won at York (5f, good to firm) where he was niggled at from some way out but came home with purpose; well behind in the Coventry (6f) but has since had wind surgery and retains potential (has a Group 2 entry amongst other high-profile engagements); potentially well in off 85; dam won at 1m. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth over C&D (good) in June and returns here after keeping on well for second in tactical race at Ffos Las (1m, good) ten days ago; still on a workable mark; might be the answer. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) in June and is now 3lb lower than when placed at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; good chance. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Nursery winner at 1m; another good effort when third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) before perhaps unsuited by soft ground at Lingfield; enters the equation. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time winner for Karl Burke (5f/7f); ran well at Haydock (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but he was below that level on his next two starts, and was safely held when third of four at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |

Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to form upped to 1m on last two starts, with an excellent second at Ripon (1m, good; probably acts on soft) on latest; by a sprinter out of 1m6f winner; others perhaps are a little less exposed. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to that form when a close third at Sandown, finishing just behind Assaranca (1m, soft); down another 2lb so hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Sprung a 16-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); two lesser efforts have followed but he faced a stiff task back at 6f at York's Ebor meeting three weeks ago; some encouragement for 1m on dam's side of pedigree but he's by a sprinter and it remains to be seen if he'll see it out, especially were the ground to deteriorate markedly. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed promise against talented rivals before winning a 7f Sandown handicap (soft) last August, relishing that stiff finish; creditable show in a higher grade at Doncaster after before well held in a valuable sales race last October; gelded since and he should stay 1m; of interest. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Softening ground wouldn't harm having won his 7f Sandown nursery on soft and run perfectly well off his 4lb higher mark at Doncaster (good to soft); this is a different kettle of fish altogether and he probably lacks the scope for the improvement that he'll need. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second of seven on his nursery debut last July (7f, good to firm) but that was followed by two lacklustre efforts (gelded before latest); back down in trip for his reappearance and goes in blinkers for the first time. |
12/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form in qualifying runs and two nurseries, but it may be encouraging that his best form in the latter sphere came when second over C&D (good to firm) in July; has been racing freely so a gelding operation may have helped too. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Didn't look progressive in his qualifying races over 6f but was only a length away on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) and he was keen enough in that race; only 1lb higher and there's every chance he'll settle better this afternoon. |
