17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Very likeable colt whose record of 4-5 as a 2yo featured a narrow defeat of Gstaad in Irish Group 1, again showing gameness; twice behind that rival since but holds a fighting chance in another rematch, having recorded a personal best by readily justifying favouritism in the Celebration Mile (Group 2) at Goodwood most recently; that was on soft ground but he has been effective on good/firmer; peaking at the right time and still unexposed over this distance; respected. |
9/1 |

1st 9 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Gamely won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and National Stakes at the Curragh (beat Gstaad) during his productive 2yo campaign; missed the 2,000 Guineas due to a setback but has shown he retains plenty of ability with fifth-place finishes in two Group 1 races this summer, the Sussex Stakes over C&D on first occasion (sole 1m attempt); highly respected back down in class. |
2/1 |

5th 14 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
One of the best 2yos around last season, with his head defeat of Gstaad in the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh (7f, yielding; unraced on softer) his most striking piece of form; a setback ruled out him out of the 2,000 Guineas after shaping encouragingly in a trial, and he got messed about at a crucial stage when fifth in the Sussex (one place behind Ten Bob Tony); this shorter trip might be a better fit for him and, as he still retains some upside, he looks a key player. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Has some flashes of classy form at two and three, though not in his last two races (both Group 3s) when tried in a visor and blinkers; those efforts temper enthusiasm in this first handicap on 13th career start; draw no help, either. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with AW Listed win and has proved consistent this term, most recently best of the near-side runners in the Jersey at Royal Ascot; holds solid claims in another change of headgear, albeit is comfortably held by Talk Of New York on Heron Stakes running. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (12) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Consistent gelding whose third to the high-class Talk Of New York in Sandown Listed race (1m, good) last time was just the latest in a string of creditable efforts; should be fine back at 7f but he's beginning to look exposed and the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to give him a lift. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
11/2 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful maiden who is threatening to win a major 2yo prize having been placed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, July Stakes at Newmarket and Vintage at Goodwood; top on ratings, so this seems his golden opportunity provided first-time headgear works well; related to a recent Gimcrack winner. |
13/8 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Arguably the best maiden in training having finished runner-up in the Coventry and the July Stakes; didn't make life easy for himself in the latter at Newmarket by coming under pressure so far out but he finished well and this step up to 7f looks an obvious move. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Has been on pacemaking duties in two of his last three races (the latest last weekend in France) and in between he offered little in a handicap at Galway. |
25/1 |
|
13th 3 (13) |
2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Smart 2yo mostly relegated to pacemaking duties this season, although penultimate start in Curragh Group 2 was decent; last in the Sussex on Wednesday having done his job, and is the complete opposite of one who has been laid out for this. |
12/1 |
|
12th 9 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ended last season with a couple of notable wins but broadly hasn't been in the same form this term and is currently well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, as his rating reflects; bottom of this pack on said figures and is possibly in here to help with pacemaking duties for Gstaad. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Won a 6f Ffos Las maiden on debut and a respectable run in a 7f Group 2 next time; below form in a Ripon novice last time; needs lots more; hood added. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Made all on 6f Ffos Las debut (good) and shaped better than ninth of ten suggests when fast tracked to Group 2 company over 7f at Goodwood 13 days later, leading until approaching the final furlong; more to come back at 6f and has the rail draw. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A local runner in all respects and aptly registered his peak RPR in sole Goodwood attempt, namely fourth in last year's Vintage Stakes (7f, good); not exactly solid on his form since but the return to this venue may have a positive effect. |
25/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won on debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last June and kept on for fourth in Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) next time; ran okay in quality conditions race at Newbury (1m, good to soft) in September when last seen but he needs to prove he can cut it off this lofty mark. |
20/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Thrice-raced colt who ran poorly in the Acomb most recently; good fourth in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) the time before and drops back in class with a leading chance on that form. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
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. |
4/1 |
|
7 (10) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
This step up in trip is not sure to suit but he arrived late on the scene to win handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) on his first two outings this year and came from last in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, finishing 12th of 30 overall but second of those who had raced far side; probably remains in form. |
9/2 |

12th 7 (16) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won on good to firm here on debut but bypassed the Silver Bowl at Carlisle last month on account of those conditions; he'd probably run well if okay on this surface, having gone 2-2 since being gelded and last time at Sandown (1m, good) looking good value for his narrow defeat of Organise. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

9st 7lb |
Gained sole win on second 2yo start; returned to form with a couple of fourths (1m) but he failed to improve for a visor last time and now tries cheekpieces; quite exposed and now goes up in distance. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |

Gained sole win on second 2yo start; back in better form the last twice but chance of doubling his tally partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

|
4th 3 (2) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a novice at Beverley last July on his second start; had been disappointing since his reappearance effort at Musselburgh before finishing a 2l fourth of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last time, form that has since been franked by the third and fifth; down in grade and he's respected. |
