25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won 6f debut at Ayr as 2yo but highly tried and found wanting for the rest of 2025; however, he did well to be a close fifth of 12 on his handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) this month, considering he was drawn high and raced wide for much of the way; thereabouts off the same mark. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after his winning debut last term; possibly flattered by apparent peak effort (last of five in Irish Group 1) and has something to prove off his mark in this handicap debut; gelded since last run. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Productive juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win here from True Love in the 6f Phoenix Stakes (good); respectable second to Thesecretadversary (received 3lb), in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance; by no means a bad effort in the 2,000 Guineas on his first attempt at this trip, but probably more of a sprinting type. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win at the Curragh (good); held by Gstaad on Coventry running; respectable second to Thesecretadversary, who received 3lb, in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance but doesn't give the strong impression he'll benefit from going up further in trip; indeed, he seems more of a 6f Commonwealth Cup type. |

2nd 1 (11) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 42y |
9st 8lb |
Won the first juvenile race of 2025; then third in a 5f Listed race; second to Albert Einstein in the 6f Marble Hill; fifth of 20 in the Coventry; well held in third behind True Love in the Railway Stakes; reversed form with the filly (finished slightly lame) to win the Phoenix Stakes under a positive ride; pedigree suggests he can stay 7f, ground should not be a problem. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to 6f thus far and has advanced his RPRs with each run; hardly has the profile of a typical Champagne winner after five defeats, but twice runner-up in Group 2s (comfortably held admittedly) and a slow start did for him in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes a month ago; battle hardened and stepping up 7f is unlikely to pose any problems, so by no means discounted. |
9/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Went close in a maiden over C&D in June on second start, no match for True Love when second of four in the Railway Stakes, 3/4l in front of Power Blue; one of the best maidens around judged on his second to Coppull (Coventry Stakes third) in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood nine days ago. |

2nd 7 (9) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in a maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) in June on second start then no match for exciting stablemate True Love when second of four in the Group 2 Railway Stakes there (6f, good); 0-3 and improvement needed but he's the sole Ballydoyle runner and no surprise if he takes a step forward. |

9st 0lb |
Won a 6f maiden on debut here and was a close second to Lady Iman in a Group 3 next time; rebounded from a poor Ascot run to win a Chantilly Group 2 then was third in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes back here; shapes as if she can stay this trip and seems to be the yard's pick of five. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Won in fine style over C&D in April on debut; excellent runner-up effort behind the smart Lady Iman at Naas in May; no show in the Albany Stakes; gave a reassuring display when staying on strongly to land a Group 2 event at Chantilly; runner-up failed to advance the form in the Richmond Stakes, third has won at Group 3 at Deauville. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Queen Mary winner; showed top-class form over 6f later in the season; had American Queen behind in fourth when winning the Cheveley Park; beating Magny Cours and Pivotal Attack readily over 7f on reappearance; travelled strongly and stayed on powerfully to win the 1,000 Guineas; had the advantage of race fitness over stablemate Precise who should get closer now. |

1st 16 (16) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
In the same ball park as stablemate Precise on ratings and, like that filly, is a Group 1 winner at Newmarket (Cheveley Park Stakes over 6f); landed the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f) earlier in her 2yo campaign and added a Group 3 prize, with something to spare, at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; has a solid record aside from an excusable defeat at the Breeders' Cup; upped further in trip and has stamina on the dam's side; one of the main players. |
13/2 |
|
1st 2 (15) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 42y |
9st 5lb |
Backed up Queen Mary win when much too good for the colts in the Railway Stakes; reported slightly lame after odds-on Phoenix Stakes defeat; quickly back in the groove when beating Havana Anna in the Cheveley Park; started slowly and never posed a serious threat over 5f in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; steps up to 7f, clear pick here if coping with trip/easy ground. |
