25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Both runs at Brighton, winning on soft-ground debut over 7f but not in the some form when well-held third under a penalty over 1m on good to firm nine days ago; down 2f in trip now; the return to deep ground may help but he has lots to find on form. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
12-1 for maiden here (7f, soft) one month ago, held up and last of seven at halfway but leading over 2f out and soon in firm control, despite looking green; needs improvement to defy a penalty but that was a promising start. |

1st 3 (6) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
25,000euros breeze-up 2yo; third foal; half-brother to Swedish 7f winner American Lily (including 2yo); dam US 6f AW 2yo winner, sister to 6.5f/7f winner First Down, half-sister to winners Gold City (smart 6f/7f including 2yo) and Clear Water (7f Listed); has good pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm; placed over 1m2f on first four starts this season, before comfortably justifying 4-6 favouritism in a 11.6f novice at Lingfield on latest outing; this unchanged, opening handicap mark seems to demand more but he may have more to offer at this sort of trip. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Placed in all four starts over 1m2f since returning in April, the latest when beaten under a length into second of six at Redcar (good to firm); consistent rather than progressive but, given he is bred to stay, this step up in trip may prove the key. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten four times and more consistent than progressive; however, he's got the best form of these and looks sure to have a major say. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Kept on well to open account at Lingfield (1m1f, soft) a fortnight ago, his sixth start; will be favoured by the forecast rain here and might have more to offer over the slightly longer trip; high on the list. |
100/30 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed he can be competitive in handicaps at the second attempt when returning from five months off to finish third of 14 over 1m at Windsor 12 days ago; raced only on good/good to firm on turf; claims with Mason Paetel taking a handy 5lb off. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not particularly solid on 2yo form and ran below market expectations on final outing (handicap debut); makes reappearance. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Often pulled hard last year and was gelded over the winter; this season his issue has been blowing the start and that's what cost him any chance last time; up to winning off this mark but has to be considered risky now. |
7/2 |

4th 7 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Brighton novice winner last season at 1m; gelded in November; perhaps needed his first run back and then he stuck on gamely for a close third at Windsor (1m, good to firm); could step up again but will need to in this better race. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 11 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October; never looked like winning on his seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; may need more of a test. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing in retained cheekpieces last time when making handicap debut and bidding for a Kempton AW double (1m3f); chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Found a bit when stepped up to this trip here five weeks ago, getting up in the final strides to beat the only other runner in camera shot; doubt he's done improving and Harry Davies chooses him over stablemate Toastmaster, who he's ridden in four of his five starts. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ran to a similar level in his first three races, though was turned over at odds of 2-5 here before taking a backward step when tried in cheekpieces at Lingfield; has a bit to prove on the back of that and he's been kept to 1m thus far. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |

16-1 for novice at Salisbury (1m, good) two weeks ago, never dangerous and beaten 19l; looks a longer-term project. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Remote last at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (5f, good to firm) later in June; off 110 days and stepped right up in trip, but best watched. |
100/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off at 80-1 on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) a fortnight ago and it's highly likely she's best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
March foal; first foal; dam 5f AW winner (RPR 76), half-sister to winners Gallovie (6f-8.5f including 2yo), Star Mind (7f including 2yo) and Zuhair (7f-8.4f), out of Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner; has fair standard to aim at on debut and yard 0-12 with juveniles in recent years. |
