9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Promise in three 7f runs as a 2yo; gelded since last seen; plenty of stamina on the bottom line of his pedigree and he could step forward now upped to 1m for his handicap/seasonal debut. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise on his Haydock debut (7f, good) and he stepped forward at the same track three weeks later, keeping on well having been short of room at a crucial stage; open to further progress and he looks the one to beat. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive form since switched to handicaps this season, though he hung and idled in front before being caught post when a short-head second of eight to Vietnorm at Ripon (1m2f) 22 days ago; 1lb better off here so big shout. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed gelding who ran into some trouble before finishing well for fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f; tongue-tie added) 11 days ago; looks interesting off the same mark and this drop back in trip should be fine on pedigree (half-brother to two winners at up to 9.5f). |
11/4 |

4th 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sent off 9-4 for his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) last month but he went keenly before fading into fifth; tongue strap goes on now with more needed if he's to get off the mark over this longer trip. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has started 33-1 for both starts but went very close at Haydock (7f, good to soft) latest; possibilities provided that form is backed up. |
9/2 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped a bit better than the bare result, namely seventh of 11, at Leicester (7f, good); open to improvement with the outing under his belt. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Second foal of a useful multiple 1m2f winner whose yard is 2-21 with 2yos this season (2-7 with them here); got upset at the stalls and was withdrawn ahead of his intended AW debut a month ago (100-1 at the time). |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite in a couple of 6f events on fast ground but has done enough to make him the form pick in this field; pedigree admittedly gives mixed messages as regards the extra furlong. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
170,000gns foal; 900,000euros breeze-up 2yo; sent off 9-4 favourite for his Newmarket debut (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, but could only manage sixth of eight having become unbalanced on the track, albeit he did show some ability (fourth has won since); a better performance is anticipated; hold entries in the Champagne Stakes, Mill Reef and Middle Park. |
4/1 |
|
4 (4) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
170,000gns foal and changed hands again at a breeze-up sale for 900,000euros; eighth foal; half-brother to four winners including Two Stars (5f/6f; RPR 112), King Of Stars (5f; 106) and Hillcrest Avenue (Australian 1m/1m1f); clearly a likely contender given what he fetched in May. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Bettered low-key 2yo debut when third on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (1m, AW; first run after wind op); probably needs to take another step forward but has the potential. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Fetched 180,000euros at the breeze-up sales last May and he was sent off a well-backed second favourite for his Haydock debut last September (7f, good to soft); dropped right away on that occasion and a subsequent wind op suggests that wasn't his running; interesting to see if his supporters return. |
10/1 |
|
5 (6) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
27,000gns foal, 27,000gns yearling, 180,000euros (breeze-up) 2yo; Mohaather half-brother to 11.6f/1m4f winner Overactive (RPR 95); his final purchase price augurs well; shortlisted. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Stepped forward from his first two efforts when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October; subsequently gelded but he pulled too hard on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW; hooded) 61 days ago; drops back in trip with the hood removed. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
280,000euros yearling; failed to shine in three novice/maiden events, albeit faring a bit better over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton (6f; fourth, 20-1) in October last time; gelded and fitted with a hood (usually races freely) for handicap debut; perhaps has simply needed time. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field in two 7f turf runs last month; showed speed last time but still not sure to benefit from this drop in trip on paper. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran to a modest level in novices on good to soft ground last autumn (7f and 1m1f); upped in trip and tried in headgear for his reappearance and this 4,300,000gns yearling remains capable of better. |
9/1 |

5 (5) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only sixth of nine, performing well below market expectations, in Haydock event (7f, good to soft) but seems the type to do much better, being a 4,300,000gns (yearling) purchase who has a smart pedigree. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month and not beaten far in two similar contests there since; steps up in trip and still on the upgrade; should run well. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Signs of ability in three maiden/novice runs from 6f to 1m; needs more now handicapping but that certainly isn't out of the question. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has made the frame in all three starts, most recently runner-up at Newcastle (1m, AW) on seasonal debut; open to progress in handicaps and looks reasonably solid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
34,000gns yearling by Iffraaj; close fourth on Haydock debut (7f, good to soft) last September but she was a well-held third when odds-on at Nottingham (8.3f, good) the following month; that was behind a useful prospect but she has a bit to prove after six months off. |
9/4 |
|
8 (2) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
34,000gns yearling by Iffraaj; half-sister to 1m winner Ebt's Guard (RPR 107); 20-1 for novice at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago but she stuck to her task well to be fourth of nine, beaten 1l; leading player. |
