16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Basically progressive as 2yo, ending with best form over 1m2f/1m1f, and he reappeared with a creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket one month ago; after ten races, though, he may well be more exposed than a lot of today's rivals. |

3rd 3 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ended last season at the top of his game, going very close in a 1m2f nursery at Newmarket and a 1m1f Group 3 at Chantilly; has raced nine times already, however, and isn't sure to progress much further this term. |

1st 1 (1) |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery debutant; has bits of Group form but may be a shade flattered by his peak RPRs and record of 1-7 reflects that his limitations are seemingly known; concedes weight to rivals who are less exposed. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Split the ill-fated Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York; then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; repeated a hard-pulling tendency in the Dewhurst; needs to settle better to do full justice to his ability; hooded now for seasonal debut. |

8th 5 (4) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ties in with several of today's rivals on his consistent Group form since debut win; split Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York on penultimate start, then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; took a good hold both times, so there's potential for an even bigger effort if he settles better. |
9/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Wootton Bassett colt won on debut in Leopardstown maiden over this trip and creditable second on both starts since, beaten 1.25l by Saba Desert in Group 2 Superlative Stakes (Newmarket) and clear of remainder when 1.5l off Gewan in Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York, quite keen under restraint; easier ground here and has to improve to play a major role. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Absent and gelded since finishing last of seven in Newmarket Group 2 last July; solid novice form otherwise, culminating in Newbury success from the front (6.5f, good); may still have more to offer and looks interesting dropped back in class. |
7/1 |
|
3 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced colt who proved suited by the step up to 6.5f (from 5f) at Newbury most recently and could well build on that win; bred to rate higher, being half-brother to a Group 3 scorer for his yard. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten five times since his debut win but has performed creditably when highly tried and being carried left by an errant rival did him no favours in the Super Sprint (had top weight); returning to 6f is a major positive and his stable has a great record in this race. |
11/2 |

6th 1 (8) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
0-4 since debut win (5f, good) but form is on an upward curve, and he ran well facing a stiff task when fifth of seven in Group 2 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last week; will need another personal best under top weight. |
14/1 |
|
4 (4) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable seventh in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but is now 0-3 since debut win and looking a touch exposed, at least over sprint trips; it remains to be seen whether this longer distance helps. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Presents a dilemma as he looked a plausible Dewhurst prospect with his Group 2 Superlative win on the July course here (beat Italy) but subsequently flopped badly, finishing last of six, in the Group 1 National Stakes; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
25/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Dubawi colt, grandson of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Gossamer; landed odds on debut in Sandown maiden over this trip in June and followed up in Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket, avoiding interference on near side then hanging left once hitting the front (beating Italy 1.25l); still a work in progress with likely more to offer and following the same path as yard's 2021 winner Native Trail. |
100/30 |
|
5 (2) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dubawi colt who justified favouritism, with something to spare, in Sandown maiden (7f, good) that his stable won in 2021 with Native Trail who followed up in this contest; open to any amount of progress. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won well at Haydock and nearly defied a penalty in C&D contest, narrowly failing to collar a bigger-priced stablemate (newcomer); William Buick prefers Saba Desert but this colt retains potential. |
8/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Too Darn Hot half-brother to two Group 1 winners, including stablemate Shadow Of Light; justified favouritism with a 5l success in Haydock contest (7f, good to firm) and looks a bright prospect; commands respect. |
10/11 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
23rd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Sixth foal; closely related to 1m winner Snowfinch (RPR 75), half-brother to winners Shadow Of Light (6f/7f 2yo including dual Group 1) and Earthlight (5.5f-7f including dual 2yo Group 1); top trainer's 2yos are in flying form and this well-bred Too Darn Hot colt could be a very smart newcomer. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Belied market position (rank outsider) by finishing second to Precise in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile over C&D but needs to prove she can back up that apparent improvement; may be flattered by her new rating and, combined with a record of 0-5 since debut success, doesn't look a solid contestant. |
40/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Maintained her consistent level of form with close third to Dance To The Music in Newmarket Group 3; below par in the May Hill upped to 1m and may ideally need a return to shorter; quite exposed now anyway. |
