25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wore cheekpieces last three outings, for a rallying second at Sandown (1m2f, good/good to firm) on last two occasions; better is needed but he shapes as if new trip is well worth a go. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Wore cheekpieces last two outings and latest brought easily his best show as a 3yo, when soon close up for a rallying second of 12 over C&D (good; probably acts on good to firm); Bridge Of Eagles and Tambora were in close attendance that day and this one is now 1lb worse off; in the mix. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Has improved for the fitting of blinkers and it was an excellent second of 19 in the King George V handicap over C&D last month; mark took a bit of a knock for that but the form has been working out and he might have an even bigger effort in him; much respected. |
13/8 |

2nd 5 (14) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Blinkered on last four starts; asserted late on in a 1m3f maiden at Southwell (AW) in April and stormed clear in seven-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks later; only sixth of ten in the London Gold Cup at Newbury in May but he stayed on from last place and that was over just 1m2f; this return to 1m4f looks a far better fit. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Looks quirky but he followed three seconds at 1m/1m2f by asserting late on in a 1m3f maiden at Southwell (AW) in April and he stormed clear in seven-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks later; blinkered on last three starts; up 7lb and drops back in trip, which has to be a worry, but he's certainly got his act together. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
His dam was a useful AW performer and his best days should lie ahead of him; however, if he's to threaten today he has to produce considerably more than he's managed on his first two starts (7f, good/AW). |
25/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
22-1, green and well beaten on his Salisbury debut last October (7f, good); bred to do better at some point but others appeal more this time. |
12/1 |
|
4 (6) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
First foal; dam multiple 8.6f AW winner (RPR 98), half-sister to winners Flash Gordon (useful 6f) and Sunset Dream (7f/1m); has pretty good standard to reach on debut; market helpful. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven races, best when beaten under a length in 1m handicaps here (firm/good) on last two occasions; not bred for 1m2f but has now been shaping as if worth a crack at it; also now tries headgear but he's one to consider. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improved on her 2yo form when finishing third over C&D (firm) on last week's seasonal return; had to wait for a run on that occasion before finishing with a flourish; open to further progress. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame all four starts as a 2yo; gelded and comfortably off the mark in 7f Salisbury novice on his return last month; this son of Ulysses has more to offer now handicapping; major player. |
11/10 |

1st 2 (9) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made the frame in all four starts over 7f/1m on turf/AW last autumn; off six months having been gelded in the meantime; relatively exposed, but should still run his race. |
4/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Short-headed on debut at Thirsk (7f, soft) last month and again went very close at Salisbury (7f, good) last time, when clear of the third; there can be optimism this Ulysses colt will be suited by 1m; leading claims. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Placed at Salisbury (7f, good) last time but again hindered himself by taking a good hold; chance partly depends on whether he settles better. |
12/1 |
|

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Raced a bit too freely before weakening into sixth in valuable Doncaster maiden (1m, soft) last month but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and this drop back in trip looks the right move. |
10/1 |
|
10 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Galiway half-brother to French Group-placed 1m2f 2yo winner Zarakchic (RPR 96); dam unraced sister to 7.5f-1m1f winner Parigi, out of 12.5f Listed winner; in good hands and market support would be significant on debut. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to a Listed 6f 2yo winner but well beaten when ninth of 13 on debut at Newbury (6.5f, good) five weeks ago and needs to take a huge step forward here. |
40/1 |

12 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 110y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
£100,000 yearling by Supremacy; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Dragon Leader (6f 2yo including Listed; RPR 100) and Flagon Dry (1m AW 2yo; 72); dam 5.7f-1m winner (including 2yo/US; 92), closely related to 5f winner Exclusively, out of 6f 2yo Listed winner; strong stable also runs Because We Can and the market should be instructive. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promise in novice/maiden company; no improvement for the switch to handicaps when sixth of 14 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May but that race didn't go entirely to plan and she returns to action with the potential for a bit better. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Signs of ability in three runs to date and starts handicap life at a sensible level; room for improvement at the stalls and she'll want to settle better than in the past from a wide stall but is one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
5th 10 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Left her Salisbury debut form behind when a promising fourth on her reappearance at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month; could continue to improve with experience but she needs another major step forward at this new trip. |
