25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran up against smart types on first two 7f starts, on this track and at York (both on good), keeping on pleasingly into third on debut, then ran to similar level next time; was in the right place at the right time, unlike the second, when winning a C&D novice in September; open to improvement as a 3yo; goes handicapping with cheekpieces fitted. |

1st 2 (7) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Third in a novice here in May and similar form when fourth at York (again 7f on good) four weeks later; better is probably needed but 1m+ can help and his stable bids to win this race for the fifth year in succession. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
11 races overall, improved in blinkers this summer; that includes his narrow win in a small field at Newbury and second at Glorious Goodwood (both 1m3f on good to firm) before he took sixth of 17 from out the back when 50-1 for the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to soft); firmly in the picture. |
2/1 |
|
6th 12 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
He's raced ten times but has shown improved form of late, winning narrowly in a small field at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) then second to Into The Light at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and could better that performance now at 1m6f; unproven on slow ground. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Carried his head high in blinkers for last two starts but he challenged to win on the nod in a five-runner handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) last time, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt; up 3lb and into a much more competitive race, he could still be thereabouts but others make more appeal for win purposes. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise in novice/maiden events but he started his handicap career with a disappointing run at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May; still unexposed but he needs improvement on return after a gelding operation; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |
6/1 |
|
11th 2 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise at up to 1m in three maiden/novice runs on good or faster ground; cheekpieces enlisted prior to this handicap debut; new trip should suit and he is one to take seriously. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Some market support when showing fair form in a maiden at Sandown (7f, good) last July and novice at Haydock (1m, good) in September; carries head high but still enters calculations. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Successful twice in Class 5 this summer, having been helped by the fitting of visor, but has come up short in Class 4 the last twice; needs improvement kept to this level. |
11/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) last month and he resumed his progress when scoring at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable success, but he carried his head awkwardly in that race and failed to back that up at Newbury on Wednesday. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
He's raced four times this season and has suffered heavy defeats on three occasions, but two starts ago he easily made all at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) and it might be dangerous to write him off. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Left his first three handicap efforts behind when making all with ease over 1m4f at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago, proving well suited by the significant step up in trip; an extra 2f ought to be within range on that evidence, although this is a much stiffer track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D handicap (good to firm) in July; took further steps forward when second of 17 in the competitive Melrose at York (1m6f; winner Infraad gave 6lb) and second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy); moves up to Listed grade and two rivals have better form but he's heading the right way. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
He's won on ground ranging from soft through to good to firm; strong finish for 4l sixth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and won over 1m6f there next time; took another step forward when second of 17 in the competitive Melrose at York (1m6f) a fortnight ago and he's a leading candidate despite a 5lb rise for last time. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Has won on various ground; strong finish for 4l sixth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and that handicap form has worked out exceptionally well; as expected he was suited by the step up to 1m6f when winning at Ascot last month and could have more to offer at this trip. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Cheekpieces on for first time when getting off the mark over C&D in June; has posted solid efforts to make the frame at Ayr (1m2f) and Southwell (1m3f) since; tried in different headgear here (visor goes on) and may still do better given he remains quite lightly raced. |
9/2 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Found an ordinary Wolverhampton handicap when winning in first-time cheekpieces off 2lb lower two months ago; easy to back on turf last time, when running to a similar level, and today's extra furlong won't hurt on that evidence. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Produced a career best when winning in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) six weeks ago; that form perhaps isn't the strongest on offer but he's open to further improvement off a 2lb higher mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Promoted to first by the stewards at Goodwood (1m4f) having been carried left by La Peregrina; disappointing favourite at Epsom since but may still have more to offer in handicaps. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come. |
6/4 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Cashed in on a reduced mark when beating four rivals at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July but he was last of four on his return visit the following month; wasn't beaten far in that race but he's fairly exposed now and others are preferred. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed but consistent and dug deep to prevail in a close finish over 1m2f here a month ago (they went steady); every chance off 2lb higher; third over this trip the time before. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November but recent third of five here (11.4f, good to firm) was perfectly respectable and he may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
