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. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Stepped up on reappearance when third of ten over 1m at Windsor (good to firm) a fortnight ago, although he faded inside the final furlong and this sometimes keen goer wouldn't be sure to benefit from this slightly longer distance. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent once handicapping last season before finding 1m2f beyond him latterly; entitled to have come on for his recent comeback, having been gelded, and this is easier but he's vulnerable to improvers now. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

8st 13lb |
Scored three times last term for previous yard; below par in latest outing but ran well at Haydock (1m) earlier in May; this 3yo looks a possible danger off a favourable weight, provided he bounces back. |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |
50/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Bounced back with a bang from a disappointing nursery debut when responding well to see off a short-priced favourite over 7f at Sandown (soft) 12 days ago; a 4lb rise doesn't look too severe with the front two clear and he's one of few in the line-up who has proved he's effective on going softer than good. |

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. |
