27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The Chesham winner (good to firm) who didn't look at home on the undulations of Goodwood when beaten for the first time in a strong edition of the Group 2 Vintage Stakes; got himself firmly back on track when perhaps unfortunate not to have won Sandown's Group 3 Solario Stakes having been bumped quite severely late on; leads the way on Topspeed/RPR figures and promises to be even better at 1m. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced colt whose winning form, including in the Chesham (7f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot, has substance; only seventh of ten when 5-1 in a Goodwood Group 2 since but may still do better. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Recruited by these powerhouse owners after beating a bucketload of subsequent winners at Newbury (6f, good) and maintained his unbeaten record in the Chesham at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm), in which he dug deep late on after making most of the running; it didn't look the strongest renewal of that Listed race and the second has since been turned over at long odds-on; he still commands respect as a good looker with more to offer; two recent winners of this had won the Chesham. |

Has shown further improvement at Meydan this year and landed the Jumeirah 2,000 Guineas (1m, good; Listed) by 1l most recently, taking overall record to 3-5; the form received a boost of sorts at Newmarket this week; sole Newbury effort, namely close second in strong maiden (6f) last May, has worked out very well; solid claims. |

500,000gns breeze-up 2yo; sent off 7-2 favourite when beaten a short head into second of 18 behind Humidity on his Newbury debut (6f, good) in May; the form of that race has worked out spectacularly well and although it is a concern he has been absent since, he should still take all the beating; holds an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry. |

9st 10lb |
All starts on good; beaten under 3l by subsequent Windsor Castle winner on 5f debut last May then finished third to subsequent Chesham winner at Newbury (6f) a fortnight later; latter event worked out extremely well so disappointing he couldn't get the job done at Bath (odds-on) the following month; not seen since but good chance of making a successful handicap debut/reappearance if ready and tapping back into that initial promise. |

Out of a Queen Mary winner for his connections; showed ability when fourth at Goodwood (5f; has produced winners) on debut and stepped up on that when third at Newbury (6f, also good) three weeks ago; latter race is working out strongly and he holds clear claims. |

Didn't need to improve on his 2yo form to win a conditions event at Wolverhampton (6f) in April; backward steps twice since and he needs a subsequent gelding operation to spark improvement. |

Won a maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his second run as a 2yo; creditable efforts in Listed/Group 3 events afterwards (5f-7f); only had to match that form to win a 6f conditions event at Wolverhampton on his return in April and he was put in his place in Listed race at Newbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked but this looks a tough mark and the return to 5f isn't enough to tempt. |

3yo who continued his progressive ways when overcoming trouble in running to win a competitive handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm); finished last in a Group 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good) subsequently but could bounce back with a big performance returned to a handicap. |

Progressive handicapper who overcame plenty of trouble in running when winning over 1m1f at Goodwood (good to firm) last month; he looked on the upgrade there and although he has plenty to find on these terms it's possible he'll improve again and outrun his odds. |

Third to Blue Courvoisier in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from Royal Ascot defeat (drawn on the wrong side) for clear second at Ascot (1m, good to firm), when a nose behind Ciarrai Abu who followed up here on Thursday; he should stay this far, and this progressive 3yo could be on an advantageous mark up 4lb since last time. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced at Group level but looks highly progressive after finishing well on top in a valuable conditions race over Deauville's extended 6f (soft) a month ago (the second has since won a handicap); quotes would suggest he's held in high regard by powerful connections and dangerous to pass over here, especially should it get wet. |

The Newbury maiden (6f, good) in which he finished sixth of 18 on his debut last month has been franked left, right and centre since and he showed more than enough to think he would be winning races himself; drawn widest but still of serious interest. |

Just lost out in a Group 2 at Goodwood last summer then won three-runner Listed race (1m); best work late when third of 16 in a Group 3 at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 25-1) following ten months off, but nowhere near that level back in Listed company in July; has work to do; yard runs two. |

Went very close in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) last July and easily won four-runner Listed race at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) the following month; then absent until Royal Ascot last month when he kept on for third of 16 in the Group 3 Jersey (7f, good to firm); the return to 1m seems a likely plus and he's a leading candidate under William Buick. |

Very useful 6f gelding whose last two performances suggest he's perhaps ready for this drop to 5f; may yet tap back into the progress that culminated in Mill Reef success at Newbury (good to soft); leading player, even with 5lb penalty, on return from another layoff. |

3rd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Record of 1-13 for Richard Hannon but he won on his stable debut at Glorious Goodwood before following up with a last-gasp success at Redcar (both 6f on good to firm); up another 3lb but he's on a roll and is effective on slow ground including heavy; big player again back up in trip. |

Record of 2-7 and broadly consistent last term; creditable second in last three starts, including in 7f Group 3 at Newmarket; however, his ceiling is seemingly already known and, unlike all of today's rivals, he doesn't have a 2,000 Guineas entry. |

2-4 for this yard with narrow wins at Ripon (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f); another creditable effort over 1m2f last time; needs to resume improvement, which may be possible as he's just a 3yo but he's not bred for this new trip; it's also his AW debut. |

Unraced on softer than good; placed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, July Stakes at Newmarket, Vintage at Goodwood and Gimcrack at York; all those races are Group 2, so he's easily top in this on ratings but the York race last time produced a lesser display in first-time cheekpieces; they are now dispensed with and he's returned to 7f which he tried at Goodwood; Group 1 Dewhurst entry; should be on the premises. |
