| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd 3 (11) | 21st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 2 | 9st 9lb | pulled hard, in touch with leaders, lost position after 3f, short of room over 3f out, soon not clear run, headway when hung left under 2f out, kept on well and challenging towards finish, just failed | 14/1 |
| 6th 4 (11) | 6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 | 9st 6lb | in rear, headway over 1f out, not reach leaders | 13/2 |
| 6th 1 (1) | 24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 | 10st 2lb | led, clear over 5f out, reduced lead over 3f out, headed 2f out, soon weakened gradually | 12/1 |
| 11th 8 (22) | 19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 | 9st 9lb | Sixth and eighth off lower marks in 1m4f handicaps at the last two Royal Ascots (good to firm) for Roger Varian; won over 1m4f at Meydan in January on debut for new trainer, followed by a lesser show at Abu Dhabi in February; usually a free-going sort, so he's likely to bide his time in rear before trying for a late challenge; most form suggests he won't succeed with it. | 22/1 |
| 3rd 5 (9) | 22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 | 9st 4lb | Won in a hood (kept since) over 1m4f at Glorious Goodwood last July; never-nearer eighth when racing a bit freely at Royal Ascot on 2025 reappearance and although he settled better when trying 1m6f back at Goodwood three weeks ago, his progress from the back 3f out proved very short-lived; returns to 1m4f and, having been among the market leaders for both those races this term, there's a feeling of unfinished business with this lightly raced 4yo. | 11/2 |
