Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th 6 (7) | 21st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 1 | 9st 5lb | short of room soon after start, in rear, struggling when hung left over 2f out, weakened over 1f out | 25/1 |
| 4th 2 (6) | 28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 12lb | took keen hold, in rear, dropped to last over 6f out, headway over 2f out, weakened final furlong (jockey said gelding was slowly away) | 33/1 |
| 2nd 6 (6) | 20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 | 9st 4lb | First-time blinkers when he was a very taking winner of last year's Copper Horse Stakes (1m6f, good to firm) at this meeting in which he came from well behind to win going away; gelded and, in no headgear, returned to that level of form when third in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) on reappearance, only to then finish last of the five in new cheekpieces (retained) in the Group 3 Aston Park at Newbury; however, the first two home at Newbury were Group 1 horses, and on reflection it wasn't that bad a run; the burning question is whether he'll stay. | 9/1 |
| 5th 3 (4) | 16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, latterly in taking style from off the pace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when wearing headgear first time; gelded and back to that sort of form when third of six in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) 15 days ago, albeit not getting to grips with the leaders; no headgear that day (he has also tried a visor) but he's now fitted with first-time cheekpieces; bit to find if others are on their game. | 9/1 |
| 3rd 3 (1) | 1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 | 9st 5lb | Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, latterly in taking style from off the pace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when blinkered first time; slowly away on both subsequent starts, looking as if he was stretched by 2m in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup on first occasion (creditable) but tailed-off second favourite in the Ebor last time (visored; raced wide and made most); back to 1m4f, with headgear removed and needs overall improvement but the gelding operation may have helped. | 9/2 |
