3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Favourite for both runs last season on the AW and prevailed narrowly at Kempton in December (1m3f); top connections have been patient and had him gelded; open to improvement but William Buick rides the yard's other one. |

9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite at Chelmsford on his debut six weeks ago (1m2f) but it was a promising start and he looked a stayer in the making; sets the standard and capable of better; one of two runners for stable. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seven-race maiden for the Gosdens but suffered a few near misses at up to 1m6f; made a quiet stable debut on the Flat (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was in a strong handicap at York; could make a hurdler. |
9/4 |
|
14th 12 (11) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Second or third every time in September-January in his seven races for the Gosdens, most AW; tried as far as 1m6f and in two forms of headgear; sold for 65,000gns in February and has now had wind surgery and has his tongue tied first time; competitive mark in theory but clearly questions to answer. |
14/1 |

3rd 4 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Chased home a better-fancied stablemate (who is now BHA rated 88) on his Kempton debut last September and then bumped into another smart sort at Ascot on his second run; his four subsequent defeats have come at odds of 30-100 (again behind a progressive rival), Evs, 8-11 and 6-4 and although he should stay this longer trip well, the fact more new headgear is tried suggests he has his quirks; still of interest on handicap debut. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won small-field Newcastle novice (1m2f, AW) last autumn but has mixed record in handicaps since; looks interesting on her second at Newcastle (12.3f) in November but she reappeared with a disappointing run at Haydock (10.4f, good to firm) in April; still lightly raced but she needs to step up again after that last run. |
5/2 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Only four ran when she won her novice at Newcastle (1m2f) last September; better form in handicaps on her last two starts, second at Newcastle (1m4f) and a close sixth in a Class 2 at Lingfield when last seen in December; still has time to better now returned to turf. |
100/30 |

3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Pretty much all out to prevail in a small field at Newcastle (1m2f) and runner-up is now 0-6; however, showed a willing attitude and looks sure to improve with racing, especially over this longer trip. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Made a winning debut at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last autumn; flopped at Ascot next time but he bounced back with a close call on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW; 11-4 favourite) in November; 2lb higher on his return but he has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is open to more progress on this step up to 1m4f; interesting contender. |
11/4 |

4th 4 (5) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Half-brother to Grade/Group 1 winner Yibir (RPR 123) and the high-class Wild Illusion (116); weak 4-1 chance at Southwell but stayed on best and the runner-up then beat Military Cross next time; that was a nice start. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, whom he left after winning at Sandown (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns and did well at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm) given he pulled hard early; effective on good to soft (unraced on slower). |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, scoring for the first time on turf when leading late on at Sandown a month ago (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns; tackles a new trip here and might well have more to offer; good to firm seems fine. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Record is only 1-10, the success in AW maiden; however, shaped well in C&D handicap (good) most recently, staying on for third place in his first attempt beyond 1m4f; possibilities off current mark kept to this scenario. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
In good form in similar races under Georgia King lately, reaching the frame three times before resuming winning ways at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 31 days ago; the second from that race has won since so he retains handicapping scope off only 2lb higher but soft ground would be an unknown. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/AW handicap winner; second of 13 here (1m2f, good to firm) in May under Georgia King and has since twice made the frame under the same rider, the latest when third of seven at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last month; still unexposed on turf and respected back down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Bumper and 1m4f AW handicap winner; only three runs on Flat turf, the latest when second of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; not disgraced when Georgia King was on again back on AW latest outing; needs a second look. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-6 over hurdles and 0-16 overall; had excuse (bled from the nose) when safely held at Stratford six weeks ago but is out of the weights again here and needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference. |
50/1 |
|
5th 7 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Unexposed over hurdles after only five runs but was beaten about 23l when seventh of 12 here (2m, good) on last month's handicap debut and is effectively 4lb higher today. |
33/1 |
|
7th 11 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden who has not shown any significant promise over hurdles after four attempts; has more realistic chance to get competitive on this handicap debut but still makes only limited appeal; 1lb wrong. |
25/1 |
