Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd 5 (6) | 15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y | 9st 11lb | held up in rear, headway 2f out, ran on and went second inside final 110yds, no match for winner | 11/2 |
| 1st 7 (4) | 23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 | 9st 5lb | Attentions concentrated on the Flat since his runaway handicap win at Royal Ascot last June; has not quite lived up to that dazzling display, this term running respectably in the Yorkshire Cup here and the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, seemingly stretched by 2m4f (good to firm) in the latter, before a lesser show at the Curragh five weeks ago; big player if back at his peak. | 3/1 |
| 3rd 7 (3) | 20th Jul 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y | 9st 11lb | midfield, headway and chased clear leader 3f out, 8 lengths down when lost second inside final furlong, kept on | 5/2 |
| 4th 8 (5) | 20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 | 9st 4lb | Very smart 2m hurdler who was back to the Flat with a bang last summer, hacking up from the front in a 1m6f handicap at Royal Ascot (good) and tidy winner of a 1m4f Group 3 at Naas (soft); favourite for the Melbourne Cup in November but faded into mid-division; his second in the Yorkshire Cup on return was also some way below his best form but he could have come on since that run; stamina to prove but last year's win here needs a deal of respect. | 6/1 |
| 2nd 7 (2) | 17th May 2024 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 | 9st 3lb | Very smart hurdler who was back to the Flat with a bang last summer, hacking up in a 1m6f handicap at Royal Ascot and tidy winner of a 1m4f Group 3 at Naas; favourite for the Melbourne Cup in November but faded into mid-division; leading contender on the Royal Ascot form and no shock if he's still capable of better. | 3/1 |
