10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Comes back fresh after ten-week break and may tap back into earlier progress that featured a C&D Listed success and good second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas; warrants respect. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Followed 7f Newmarket Listed win (good) in May with a second to Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); travelled notably strongly for a long way back at 7f for the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville last month but folded tamely, possibly due to the soft ground; the one to beat on his best form but could possibly have done without Thursday's rain. |

One of three for Juddmonte; three wins from three, having recorded impressive wins in 7f novice events at Sandown (good) and Kempton (AW); looked a potentially high-class performer when overcoming quirkiness to win 7f Listed at Newmarket (good) on latest; both the third and sixth have won Listed-class races since; contender. |

9st 10lb |
1-1 on AW, namely a 7f novice a Kempton last March; recorded a big personal best when winning the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) and his two defeats since have been excusable; tough task trying to give weight away back sprinting after 133 days off. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who was third in a Group 2 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August before bolting up in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); well worth a crack at a Group 1 judged on that latest performance but he needs to transfer his Doncaster improvement - and some more - back to better ground. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
He's tended to ply his trade in Group and Listed races and he was a Listed winner at Longchamp (7f, good to soft) last May; beaten just under 4l when seventh of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his first handicap start and this is less competitive; could be in the mix. |

7th 2 (11) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
7f Listed winner at Longchamp last May and he ran some good races subsequently in Group/Listed contests; below par on last month's reappearance at Longchamp but may have needed the run; could go well in first handicap. |

2nd 2 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Built on reappearance third to Cosmic Year at Newmarket when winning a Longchamp Listed event (7f, good to soft) in May; creditable in-frame efforts under a penalty in Listed races at Epsom (7f) and Chantilly (1m) since; headgear worn in recent starts is left off; soft-ground winner who won't be inconvenienced by yesterday's rain. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has failed to build on an eye-catching reappearance effort but seemed to be outstayed over 1m2f most recently; unlucky second in the C&D Britannia at this meeting last year (good to firm; might well have won but for traffic issues) and looks very interesting back here, bidding for compensation. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot then caught the eye on reappearance; hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in two starts since but remains of interest assuming this new scenario (steps up from 1m) prompts a positive effect; too soon to give up on him. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Went close in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; not seen again until a good fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this March, despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; disappointing favourite in the Lincoln at Doncaster three weeks later, perhaps with the good to soft ground against him but overall improvement is required moving from handicaps into this Group 3. |

2nd May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Has progressive form over 1m on AW; good third in useful conditions race at Chelmsford most recently, shaping as if this drop in distance is worth exploring; interesting turf debutant. |

3rd Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Posted a win (at Southwell) and a near-miss (over this C&D) from his first two starts; then gelded and won by 5l at 1-4 over C&D in February; this is much tougher but he's a likeable prospect who could hold his own. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Still below best when third at Newcastle (AW debut) last time but that was something of resurgence; progressive spell culminated in wins over C&D (Listed) and at Haydock (Group 2) in May 2025; possibilities provided he returns to that sort of form. |
4/1 |

3rd 9 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Useful on turf, recording peak RPR when landing a Group 2 at Haydock (6f, good) last May; not at his best in two runs in Dubai this winter; switch to AW shouldn't be an issue and he has the ability to feature. |
6/1 |
|
8th 14 (8) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Stablemate of Notable Speech; suited by good/firmer; has a very impressive record (161111) over 6f, narrowly justifying favouritism in the Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock most recently; beat Ides Of March at Newbury (Listed) a week earlier; unable to run in the Commonwealth Cup due to being a gelding; major contender, with further improvement plausible kept to this trip and back from a well-earned break (had a busy May). |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has taken his form to a new level, notably with a 1m Listed success, since switched to artificial surfaces; ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on finals day at Newcastle most recently; the query is whether his very useful AW form can be transferred back to turf. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has improved for gelding/wind operations, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton and a 1m Listed event at Southwell this winter; narrowly denied in the Winter Derby six weeks ago (not a vintage renewal); the demands of this race should be more suitable and he still has Pattern-race aspirations; he'll need to be a Group horse to give the weight away all round but he is an each-way contender at the very least; cheekpieces now added. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Useful form as a 2yo but struggled in his three runs last season; sold out of Alice Haynes's stable for 22,000gns last October; likely to come good for new connections off a reduced mark but this looks a pretty stiff task after eight months away. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after his Ayr win (6f, good to firm) 13 months ago, placed in a Newbury Listed event before sixth of nine in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood; reappeared with a heavy defeat in a Listed race at Newmarket in May and he couldn't make an impact when switched to a handicap at Salisbury (first run since gelded) last month; still unexposed but has bit to prove and needs to raise his game with cheekpieces added. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Highly tried after his Ayr win (6f, good to firm) 12 months ago, placed in a Newbury Listed event before sixth of nine in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood; well beaten in 7f Listed race at Newmarket on reappearance eight weeks ago, after which he was gelded; makes handicap debut against useful opposition. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f conditions event at Newmarket last April and paid the price with the handicapper as a result; left James Owen for 52,000gns last October; well beaten in both runs for David O'Meara but in ultra-competitive Ascot handicaps; sneaking down the weights and the type to pop up at some point soon. |
25/1 |

26th 20 (19) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Proved rather difficult to place last term after a reappearance win that did major damage to his mark; perhaps needed the run when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup over C&D on stable/seasonal debut but is best watched unless the market signals suggest he'll take a step forward. |
66/1 |

16th 11 (16) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 3-14 for James Owen, reaching a useful standard but proving rather difficult to place after the third success ruined his mark; sold for 52,000gns and gelded since last run; probably still too high in the weights for this level of competition. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won 7f 2yo Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket last September; well handicapped on that form but he's found it difficult to get competitive this season, most recently well beaten at 40-1 in 7f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

15th 1 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful last term, the highlight a Group 3 win at Newmarket (7f, soft); has much weaker claims on 2025 form and still needs to prove he's trained on; admittedly may derive some benefit from the switch to a handicap. |
