24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Formerly trained by Richard Hannon but remained with same owner; produced his best performance in most recent domestic start, namely a narrow success in Group 3 at last year's Ebor festival at York (1m1f, good to firm); may have more to offer this term; respected. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who was a close Listed second on his reappearance (1m1f, good to soft) then wasn't beaten far in mid-division in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft); things haven't panned out ideally when third in 1m Listed/Group 3 races the last twice (including on good to firm) and this extra furlong could be in his favour; not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful horse whose form this season features two sound performances at Goodwood, namely success in Listed grade (1m2f; gamely beat Naqeeb) and close second in conditions race; soft ground provides an excuse for a lesser effort in the Celebration Mile here last time; major player. |
5/2 |

6th 1 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has produced two sound performances at Goodwood this term, namely Listed win (1m2f; gamely beat Naqeeb) in May and close second in very useful conditions race (1m1f) last time; ties in with Seagulls Eleven on Diomed (8.5f) running; solid claims. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) last September and added a Listed win here (1m2f, good) in May, narrowly beating Naqeeb; this front-runner has remained in good form and can make a bold bid. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He's been well below his best on his three starts since a close fifth in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (1m, soft) in March; however, he's been gelded since his latest outing three months ago and he's very much a player if rediscovering last year's peak form, when a Listed winner (1m, good). |
14/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good second (off 20lb lower) in the Britannia at this meeting two years ago but he was progressive at the time, whereas his form has dipped in last two outings (normally a consistent sort, including at Group level); 2-2 at the Curragh compared to only 1-16 elsewhere; wears first-time headgear. |
50/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Form dipped last time when he raced too freely; otherwise a broadly consistent sort who may rebound, provided he settles better; has Group form and can't be dismissed from a ratings perspective but may be more interesting when back at the Curragh where he's 2-2 (only 1-15 elsewhere). |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won a maiden and two handicaps from his five starts, the latest win at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f); good fourth of eight when upped to Group 3 at York (1m1f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; needs to maintain his progressive profile but that is possible. |
3/1 |

4th 7 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has run four times, with his sole defeat coming at the hands of Wednesday's close Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; made it 2-2 in handicaps when winning in a big field at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago (1m1f, good; has also won on good to firm); today's company demands further and sizeable improvement but that can't be ruled out from this progressive 3yo. |
11/2 |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three runs have come on AW/good to firm; back to winning ways at Sandown (1m1f) in June on his first handicap start; did it in convincing fashion and this unexposed 3yo could take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Late headway once in the clear in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June, finishing seventh of 16, and outclassed in the Eclipse since (well beaten at 100-1); drops back in grade and the step back up in trip is worth a go, but he's 0-13 in Group/Listed races since winning the London Gold Cup in May 2024 and may again find a few too good. |
9/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin. |
66/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but ran well when third of 13 at York (1m, good to firm) in July; slow starts haven't helped his cause twice since (blindfold off late first occasion) and he has been given a chance by the handicapper if breaking on terms. |
16/1 |

12th 5 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but has dropped down the weights and he ran well when third of 13 at York (1m, good to firm) in July; had an excuse back there last time, when the blindfold was removed late; not ruled out each-way. |
14/1 |

14th 7 (6) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but has dropped down the weights and was 4l third of 13 to The Lost King over C&D (good to firm) last month; each-way claims if acting on the ground; his last win came on heavy going but subsequent slow-ground form has been mixed. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Merely mid-division at Doncaster (1m, good) last month but his form figures at Ascot read 222 (1m, good to firm/good; twice in big fields), with the latest of those in August and he was a good second at York (1m, good to soft) next time; has an each-way shout if leaving his latest run behind. |

10th 1 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He's returned to form to finish second in these cheekpieces on his last two starts, at Ascot (1m, good to firm) and at York (1m, good to soft; won that same competitive handicap 12 months previously); solid claims. |
13/2 |

2nd 6 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to kick on after winning this last year (good to firm) but he returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to firm) recently; won on soft ground early in career; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo from top yard; headstrong up front in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f) last June and also failed to settle when held up in York Group 3 (1m1f) last August on his only subsequent start; returns to 1m for reappearance but whether he's calmed down after being gelded may be the key. |
7/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two novice wins from his first three starts (1m, AW/good to firm), with a close Listed second at Newcastle (1m, AW) in between; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June when last seen and could do with settling better, but this unexposed 3yo retains potential for his top yard now back down in trip and in grade; possible player. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Impressive win on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and beaten just a neck in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; stable has won the last two runnings; leading form claims even under penalty. |
