Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14th 1 (7) | 12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 | 9st 12lb | Top handicap form when nosed out in the John Smith's Cup over C&D and again when scoring at the Ebor meeting and picking up the Cambridgeshire in 2023; 0-7 since and he beat one home on his return from a hefty absence/wind surgery at Newmarket in May; should build on that comeback but may need another run or two before becoming of interest. | 50/1 |
| 11th 2 (9) | 2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 | 9st 11lb | Excelled in top handicaps at York and Newmarket in 2023, including with a C&D win in the Cambridgeshire (good to firm; 3lb lower today); however, he only once threatened to hit those heights in 2024 and, after wind surgery, missed all of 2025; that leaves him with a 658-day absence to overcome but his handicap mark has been slashed. | 40/1 |
| 12th 1 (14) | 13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 | 9st 13lb | Has a very lofty mark and hasn't been at his best the last twice but he excelled in big-field handicaps last year, finishing second in this (good to soft) and posting wins over C&D (good to firm) and in the Cesarewitch (1m1f, good to firm; off 4lb lower); not necessarily handicapped out of things. | 14/1 |
| 1 (5) | 6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 | 9st 12lb | Below par in 1m2f Listed race at Royal Ascot last time and his best form has come over shorter than this; however, he kept on okay on his first encounter with 1m4f in at Group 2 at Newmarket in May and he's just 2lb higher than when winning the 1m1f Cambridgeshire last September; not ruled out. | 20/1 |
| 9th 4 (12) | 18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 | 9st 5lb | Has proved an excellent buy by connections, notably winning the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) last September; showed he can mix it at Group level when second in the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton back at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in April; never-dangerous fourth in Group 2 there (1m4f) last month but he ran well enough to think he's still in form; each-way claims. | 10/1 |
