8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reliable sort with a good first-time-out record, and he looks well worth this first foray beyond 14.5f, but there is something to prove if the ground if firmer than good; promising 7lb claimer has his first ride at Chester. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced for a 5yo; has twice made the frame since returning from another seven months off in June, finishing fourth of 13 in the Mallard at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) last month (runner-up has since won the Cesarewitch); placed in both starts on AW as a 2yo including one here; not dismissed. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Respectable eighth of 23 in the November Handicap here (1m4f, soft) ended his 2024 campaign; gelded before his good third of 14 at Epsom (1m4f, good) this April on final start for Raphael Freire (same stable) but absent again since; no show at Royal Ascot 2024 on his only go at this sort of trip. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have come on the AW at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) and was far from disgraced on his return in the Easter Classic there (1m2f) five weeks ago; makes his turf debut in a competitive race, albeit stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time course winner who went close on his stable debut over C&D in November; things didn't go his way when fourth of 13 at Chelmsford (1m2f) ten days later; this very lightly raced 5yo goes well fresh and remains open to further improvement; could be a contender following a break. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Built upon his previous promise (including on turf) to win in good style in a small field at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October on his second handicap start; gelded since and this lightly raced 4yo could have lots more to offer this season for his top stable; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |
3/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Consistent in four starts since his debut in February, the win coming in a 1m2f novice here in March; probably unsuited by the lack of pace when third of nine at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but despite the small field there is a good chance this may be run at a better tempo; respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 10 (3) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Beat the St Leger runner-up in a Newcastle 1m2f novice in March and returned from a lengthy break to push an unexposed Godolphin horse close at Newmarket (1m2f, good), which was probably a fine run given the penalty he carried; could easily be on a lucrative mark and this trip should benefit according to his pedigree. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made all when easily beating four rivals at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and ran well to finish fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good), but appeared not to stay in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm); 1-1 on the AW (Polytrack); dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Easily made all in small-field handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and not beaten far when fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good); with a leading trainer and further improvement can't be discounted now up in trip, but it's necessary and others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

4 (6) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Usually a warm order and he's delivered twice; given a forcing ride up front at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) on latest start and drew well clear, albeit from only three opponents; up 7lb and more to prove in this stronger race, but he's only once (penultimate start) failed to show improved form. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |
