30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and, although losing ground on that rival, fourth in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft) was creditable; however, needs to bounce back from the German Derby (1m4f, soft) in which he was favourite but tailed off. |

4th 6 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of a maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft; made all) on last two starts as 2yo; pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and could improve on that first-time-out display; more to do but he's heading the right way. |

2nd 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) on last two starts as 2yo, in the latter making all and stretching 8l clear; needs a good deal better in this company but he's clearly promising. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Below par at Ffos Las three weeks ago but his best efforts have been on the AW, including when a close-up third of 13 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in June; he's a contender back on this surface. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Hosed up at Newcastle (1m, AW) last November off 8lb lower; best run since when third back there (7f) in June; has possibilities if he can translate that form to turf on which he is yet to be placed from six starts. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Comfortable winner here (1m, Class 6; 6-4 favourite, from 7lb lower) last November; less productive on Nottingham comeback run; fifth of 14 at Bath (1m, good) 12 days ago was better, and he's noted over 7f at a track which suits; Harry Vigors takes off a handy 5lb. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had to work hard in order to make it eighth-time lucky in a three-runner contest at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; up 3lb but still shortlisted if the headgear continues to work. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but he went close in a five-runner field at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in June on his second handicap start and ran respectably when fifth of 15 at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last time, albeit soundly beaten; this is less competitive and he could be involved in first-time blinkers. |
5/2 |
|
5th 11 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two seconds and two thirds from his six starts; upped to 1m2f then 11.4f in handicaps for his two starts this season, best form in a never-nearer second of five last time; back up 2lb but could have more to give at this trip. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Progressed well this year and was doing all his best work late when mid-division in a big field at Glorious Goodwood (1m); stays 1m1f and he'll probably stay this far; has more to offer. |
4/1 |
|
9th 6 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive this term and he got off the mark at Sandown (1m, good) in May on his second handicap start; couldn't quite get there when second of five at Sandown (1m1f, good) since but the expected competitive gallop in this big field should be right up his street, and he's one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has shown steady progress that may well continue; opened his account in Sandown handicap (1m, good) most recently, beating The Joker and taking record this term to 221; solid claims. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) last October and has run with credit in handicaps over 1m/1m1f since returning in April, without looking ahead of his mark; this return to a longer trip may help, but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m novice winner at two and then gelded; slow starts weren't helping matters this season but raced in touch last time at Lingfield (1m1f) and they all bumped into an improver; could go well. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Often pulled hard last year and was gelded over the winter; this season his issue has been blowing the start and that's what cost him any chance last time; up to winning off this mark but has to be considered risky now. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Gosden colt who has shown solid promise with his third-place finishes at Newbury (7f) and Yarmouth (1m); out of an AW winner; holds leading form claims switched to this sphere. |

3rd 5 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Promising third of ten at Newbury (7f, good to firm) where he was one place behind a subsequent winner, fared best of the newcomers and shaped as if this extra furlong will suit; major contender. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |

0-8; better for the hood when a closing third at Gowran (1m claimer, good) so surprising to see that aid now left at home. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won on good to firm as 2yo; 80-1 when among the backmarkers in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces; all change with blinkers, 1m3f and heavy going for the Derby Italiano at Milan 17 days ago and it worked a treat as he came home strongly from midfield to win in the final strides; that was a doughty performance and this is another Group 2, but he faces stronger opposition. |
16/1 |
|
10th 15 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has finished behind some of today's rivals on two occasions, latest in the Craven when admittedly running well on bare figures; gained sole success (from five attempts) at novice level and looks well short of the required standard in this field; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |
100/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Newbury when last seen on turf; looked flattered to finished just under 2l behind Hidden Force, who had something in hand, at Kempton most recently and is unlikely to reverse the placings; however, bred to do better still and may produce another good effort. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Overwhelmed rivals on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last September and even better in defeat in a Group 3 at Newbury after; looked sure to improve upon a useful return at Goodwood (7f, good) in May when upped to 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot but he could never gather momentum after getting hampered 2f out; remains one to be interested in. |
4/1 |
|
7th 11 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Bundles of promise last season even before winning easily on his handicap debut and finishing third in the Group 3 Horris Hill when soft ground might not have been to his liking; his reappearance offered lots of hope for the future, finishing fourth of 17 at Goodwood (7f, good) behind horses with kinder draws and nothing was finishing stronger than this colt; running style and pedigree shouts improvement over this longer trip; he might be the one. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and has continued in good heart, not beaten far when eighth of 16 in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) before close third of four at Goodwood (5f, soft); he's in with an each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to winning form over C&D (good) last month, aided by first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and the drop back to the minimum trip; respectable midfield finish in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last Friday and holds strong claims back down in grade. |
6/4 |
|
8th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All turf races have been on good or quicker but dam's best form was on soft; sole 2yo win was over 7f on the AW; ran well for a long way over 6f at Ascot on second run back and proved thoroughly at home over the new 5f trip at Goodwood (good; first-time cheekpieces) since, racing well within himself and coming clear for an impressive win; up 6lb but has better to come. |
