9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts in novice company over 6f, both at Ripon; was poor over the same C&D last time in a Listed contest as 6/5 fav'; has to rebound up in trip. |

9st 5lb |
£200,000 breeze-up purchase; has been successful in two four-runners contests over this C&D, getting the better of three other previous winners in a valuable novice nine days ago; his proven ability to handle the track counts for plenty and much respected for stable that has taken four of the last seven runnings; entered in the Middle Park. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
£200,000 breeze-up purchase who comfortably saw off three rivals when sent off at 2-5 for his C&D debut (good) 18 days ago; an entry in the Group 1 Middle Park suggests he's well regarded by a stable which won this last year with a subsequent Listed winner. |

9st 5lb |
Won a 6f Ffos Las maiden on debut and a respectable run in a 7f Group 2 next time; below form in a Ripon novice last time; needs lots more; hood added. |
20/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Made all on 6f Ffos Las debut (good) and shaped better than ninth of ten suggests when fast tracked to Group 2 company over 7f at Goodwood 13 days later, leading until approaching the final furlong; more to come back at 6f and has the rail draw. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Became a tad exposed for Karl Burke and finished behind a couple of today's rivals, admittedly not disgraced, at Wetherby (7f) most recently; subsequently sold for 28,000gns; 0-7 since debut win. |

3rd 3 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well down the field in two valuable AW handicaps at start of this year but this month's second at Southwell (7f, AW) was much better, albeit no match for the winner; probably needs another step forward. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified skinny odds on his Pontefract debut (6f, good to firm) last August and ran well on turf afterwards, but having been gelded has been well held in two starts on the AW since returning in January; needs a resurgence over the extra furlong. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Made it two wins from his four starts when dominant in big-field nursery at Doncaster (6f, good) three weeks ago; it remains to be seen where his limitations now lie and he's a strong candidate. |
6/4 |
|
7 (13) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran respectably against fellow previous winners in Ripon novice event (6f) most recently and held a Champagne Stakes entry at the time; likely to do better still; respected. |
7/1 |
|
4 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Well held on 7f Newmarket July meeting debut but different proposition when justifying favouritism at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days later; faces much tougher opposition here but it's likely he can improve again. |
7/1 |
