18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who was third in a Group 2 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August before bolting up in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); well worth a crack at a Group 1 judged on that latest performance but he needs to transfer his Doncaster improvement - and some more - back to better ground. |
22/1 |

1st 9 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 1-1 on AW compared to 0-7 on turf; however, he has two pieces of very useful form in this sphere, including third in the Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Group 2) last time; enters calculations, having shown there's possibly a race of this nature in him. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 since debut and, although he ran respectably when second in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September, he was only ninth in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp next time; again looks vulnerable. |
50/1 |

2nd 3 (9) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to encounter slow ground; lightly raced; has largely progressive RPRs, including at Group level, but was disappointing in the Hungerford most recently; chance of a rebound partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has usually shown improved form; ended last season with second in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and he returned from 351 days off with a slow-starting second to Rage Of Bamby in Group 3 here (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; going back up to 7f can help and he's firmly in the mix. |

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. |

9st 7lb |
Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |
25/1 |

1 (19) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Acts on any ground; very useful performer who has Listed/Group form; two handicap attempts (6f) comprise a win at Doncaster last October and an excusable defeat (poorly drawn) in the Wokingham last time; effective over 7f and has the ability to get involved, even off top weight. |

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. |

Suited by ground softer than good; made all in the 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but struggled in French Group 1 next time; best to assume he'll need the outing on return from 14-month absence, unless the market suggests otherwise. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ffos Las maiden winner (7.4f, soft) last August who twice made the frame at Group 3 level before excelling himself when second of seven in the Group 1 Kameko Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October; slightly disappointing when only third of seven in a Deauville Group 3 (7f, heavy) last month, but may have had an excuse and this looks a good opportunity. |

Soft-ground Listed winner last autumn; best effort this term when second to Quinault in 7f Group 3 at York (good) in June; ran poorly with cheekpieces added (retained) in a Doncaster Group 2 last month but he's a major player if back to anywhere near his best. |
100/30 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |

Best effort this term when second to Quinault at York (7f, good) on penultimate start; 2-2 at Doncaster, namely soft-ground wins in the sales race at this meeting in 2023 and Listed event last November; interesting back here, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Handles good ground, best form on soft, including Doncaster Listed win last autumn; made a sound return to action when 3l fourth of 12 in 7f Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock; ran to a similar standard when second in a 7f Group 3 at York last month. |

9st 10lb |
Reappeared last season with victory in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt over C&D and he signed off the campaign with a fine third in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp; might have needed the run when fourth in Listed event at the Curragh six weeks ago; versatile in terms of the ground; solid chance. |

Reappeared last season with win in Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) in May; ran only three times subsequently; excellent display when third of 16 in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp in October (7f, very soft); found 6f inadequate at Group 1 level on final start. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Reappeared with win in Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) in May and came a creditable third of 16 in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) two weeks ago; however, he'll need a career best to come out on top in this strong field and he's been unplaced on both goes in sprints. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Champion 2yo last season, having won the Middle Park and Dewhurst (both on soft ground), and he ran well in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; rather a disappointing favourite in the 6f Commonwealth Cup, then couldn't quite get the job done in the 7f Prix Jean Prat having held every chance; drops back from Group 1 level with leading claims on best form. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won two Group 1s at Newmarket last autumn (6f/7f, soft), namely the Middle Park and the Dewhurst; reappeared with excellent third in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good), where he was outstayed by the first two; unraced on fast ground; has the potential to be a top-class sprinter. |
6/4 |

3rd 8 (2) |
3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Good-ground wins on first two runs before close second in Group 2 Gimcrack (6f, good), then enjoyed stellar autumn here with Group 1 wins in the Middle Park (6f, soft) and Dewhurst (7f, soft), becoming Champion Two-Year-Old; had a racecourse gallop here last month; stayed on well in the Dewhurst which provides optimism he'll see out 1m; a tongue-tie goes on; could have a big say, even though William Buick rides stablemate Ruling Court. |

Far too strong for his rivals when winning a 7f maiden at Lingfield (good ground) on his debut in August; tailed off at Doncaster three weeks ago but that was a Group 2 on soft ground; still has potential and he is back in calmer waters today. |
