18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |

2nd 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Can front-run; his form took off once the cheekpieces went on over 7f last season, including for wins on good to firm and on soft, the latter in a Listed race at this track; reached even greater heights with his Group 2 win at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days ago, challenging over 2f out to score at 25-1; there was an element of having the run of the race that day and he's now penalised, but the win was clearcut and he needs respect. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the Group 2 Gimcrack as a 2yo and finished second in the Group 1 City Of York (7f, good to firm) last August; made no show in two Group 1s in Australia in the autumn and he's since been gelded; returns in a much lower grade than usual and very dangerous if ready to roll after six months off. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Group 2 Gimcrack here in 2yo season in 2023; not beaten far when fifth in Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and his run here next time may have come too soon; beaten nearly 3l when second in Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) latest; may find a few too good. |
10/1 |

2nd 5 (12) |

Below-par favourite in Group 3 at York (7f, good) last month but that run may have come too soon, 11 days after his creditable fifth in 1m Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot; could be in the mix if bouncing back. |

9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 but on a 12-race losing sequence and he ran badly on his last three starts in Dubai early this year; this is a drop in grade but he's proving increasingly hard to predict. |
25/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Not disgraced in similar event at Doncaster last time but continues below his peak form, namely wins in the Lockinge and Lennox last term; still needs to raise his game. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Smart over 7f/1m on his day; runner-up in this contest in 2023 and won the Lockinge and the Lennox last year; not in the same form since and the switch to blinkers (retained) had no effect last time; the need for a revival continues. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose 12 wins include a Group 3 at York (7f, good) last June; he was an excellent third of 19 in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f) in October; has since run up to his best in a 5f AW race at Newcastle in January and it will be interesting to see how he gets on back at this trip on turf with his regular hood discarded; ran creditably in 6f Group 3 at Newmarket last time. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Very useful front-runner whose strike-rate is 12-32; bagged Group 3 honours at York (7f) last June and a valuable pot at Doha (6f) most recently; unbeaten (4-4) in 6f contests on the Newmarket courses and has shown that he can win in sizeable fields; likely to make a bold bid back here. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Mixed results in international races are flanked by wins in last two domestic attempts, namely Group 2 at Goodwood and Listed race at Ascot, both over 1m on good to firm; very useful but his figures seem to have settled at a ceiling that is below the required standard in this field. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
2025 seemed to establish that he's better over 1m than 6f or 7f and the best of those efforts, including at the top level, give him a good chance in today's company; reappearance in Abu Dhabi in February was not of the same order but he could bounce back. |
7/2 |
|

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won the Greenham on reappearance, then went very close in the French 2,000 Guineas (sole 1m attempt); best to forgive his defeats at Royal Ascot (seemed to find 6f inadequate) and Glorious Goodwood (7f; race didn't pan out favourably) since; respected on his spring figures. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded before reappearing in May with a Listed win at Haydock (7f, good to firm); however, he needs a bigger performance to take this and three lesser runs have followed in Group races; the last two were in blinkers, which are now joined by a tongue-tie. |
18/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Gelded before reappearing in May and winning a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good to firm); however, he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and two lesser runs have followed in Group 3 races (7f/6f, good/AW); the latest was in first-time blinkers, which are retained. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
0-4 over 1m+ last year; dropped in trip and made all in 7f Listed race at Haydock in May but didn't give his running in Group 3 over same C&D three weeks later; now runs in a sprint for the first time since his (winning) debut and also tackles the AW for the first time, so he has a bit to prove, although first-time blinkers could have a positive effect. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner as 2yo; threw away a golden opportunity in 6f Listed race at Doncaster in March when diving to his left inside the final furlong; well below par in the same grade last time and would be a surprise winner here, even if first-time blinkers give him a boost. |
50/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 2 winner as a 2yo; threw away a winning opportunity in a Listed race at Doncaster in March (6f, good to soft) when diving to his left inside the final furlong; this is easier than this summer's earlier turf assignments but he's often slowly away and he isn't one for the faint of heart. |
9/2 |

7th 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2yo Group 2 in September 2023 (7f, soft); went close in Listed race on 2025 reappearance (6f, good to soft) and respectable fifth in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; however, he again looks vulnerable this afternoon. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Group 3 runner-up in June 2024; nothing like the same force subsequently but some encouragement can be taken from his stable/seasonal debut in the Victoria Cup at Ascot, where he was soundly beaten overall but was first of seven in the group that raced initially on the far side; he's not ruled out. |
12/1 |

14th 21 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Very promising early in career for his first stable but broadly hasn't lived up to expectations and his form went markedly awry last term for a second yard; big turnaround is required on debut for his third trainer; dismissed unless the betting speaks positively. |
40/1 |

14th 7 (2) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Runner-up in Group 3 at Newmarket last June and very well treated on that form; watch the betting, but he was tailed off last September on his final run for Sir Michael Stoute and has struggled for his new stable this season. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
His sole win was in a maiden in August 2024 but he turned things around with a close fourth at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; didn't get the best of runs in that race and has claims if he can back that up. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Third in 2yo Group 2 in 2024; ran respectably off a falling mark on a few occasions last season but he's struggled in two 1m handicaps (good to soft/good to firm) this spring; has plenty to prove and overall record is now 1-14. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Third in 2yo Group 2 in 2024; unable to reproduce that promise last season and well beaten in last month's Spring Mile on stable/seasonal debut; however, he has a reduced mark to work with and his new trainer may well find the key to him sooner rather than later; the returning visor may be a plus. |

8yo who is a two-time Group 1 winner and has an excellent record in this race, with form figures of 1213; reappeared with head second to Ten Bob Tony in Group 3 John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7f, good) two months ago when carrying a 5lb penalty; no penalty today and he has leading claims. |

Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect. |

Runaway winner at Lingfield (7f) last autumn but has not built on that, always in rear when dropped in trip for Listed sprint at Newbury last month; this looks a stiff task but at least returning to 7f should help. |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won by clear daylight at Lingfield (7f, AW) last autumn and ran pretty well in the Group 3 Greenham here on reappearance; gave the impression he failed to stay 1m when third in conditions race at Goodwood since; improvement required but today's drop in trip could be a catalyst for just that. |
