23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
AW Group 3 winner last September and bettered that form when 2.75l fourth to Wise Approach (Brussels second, Coppull third) in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; late headway for seventh of 14 in 5f Group 3 back at Newmarket on reappearance; likely to benefit from the return to 6f but whether he's quite good enough remains to be seen. |
10/1 |

7th 14 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
All races at 6f, improving on front-running novice (good to firm) and AW Group 3 wins when beaten less than 3l in the Group 1 Middle Park on this course in September; from a yard that's much respected with sprinters but this still asks a lot on the drop to 5f. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Substandard winner of the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f, AW; Group 3) where he made all and held on by only a neck, taking form figures to 411; however, he's an improving sort and plausibly hasn't reached his ceiling yet; gained his turf success on good to firm. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in Group 1 company as a juvenile, including in the Middle Park at Newmarket with Coppull narrowly behind in third; however, he made an underwhelming start to his 3yo career when only sixth to Coppull (Division third) in 6f Ascot Group 3 on reappearance 22 days ago; possible he simply needed the run but arrives with a point to prove. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won a 6f maiden at the Curragh on debut before a string of good efforts in defeat in good races, notably second-place finishes in the Middle Park (0.75l behind Wise Approach and 5lb better off) and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; should be in the shake-up. |
7/2 |
|
4 (7) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who is 0-4 since debut win but ran very well, with tongue-tie fitted, in the Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; close second) most recently; leading player if that form is backed up; drops in trip. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Third in the Coventry Stakes over C&D before winning the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); rounded off his juvenile campaign with a close third in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes (6f, good to firm), finishing on the heels of the reopposing Wise Approach and Brussels; stable won this race with Jasour, also a Group 2 winner as a 2yo, in 2024; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
2 (5) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Took a step backwards (behind Wise Approach) in the Prix Morny last time but has progressive form on home soil and may well rebound; placed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot then comfortably landed the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood (6f, good; Group 2); remains of interest. |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 205y |
9st 6lb |
Has run nine times, including in five stakes races; contested the Middle Park as the stable outsider two weeks ago; could be competitive now, given his depth of experience and the drop in class. |
6/1 |
|
3 (9) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
One of three Ballydoyle runners; produced peak effort in Listed grade; bottom of this pack on the figures and record of just 1-8 reflects that he's an exposed sort now. |
66/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Naas maiden winner who hit the crossbar in a Listed race at Tipperary in July and bounced back from a lesser run in a Group 3 when a close fourth at Navan 13 days ago; return to 5f is no issue and ought to go well. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held by Wise Approach on Group 1 Middle Park running (6f) but otherwise proved a useful and consistent sprinter last term, winning at Royal Ascot (Listed) and making the frame in several other notable races; solid claims, assuming he has trained on. |
12/1 |
|
5 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Windsor Castle winner who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Flying Childers (5f, good; Group 2) at Doncaster most recently, taking record to 121234; very likely to give his running but has seemingly reached his ceiling (form has levelled off). |
16/1 |
|
3 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; Windsor Castle winner (5f) who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Richmond at Goodwood (6f) most recently, taking form figures to 12123; again in the mix. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Absent and gelded since bagging Listed honours at Lingfield in February when upped to 7f and making AW debut; needs to prove he can transfer that improved form to handicap level and back to turf; otherwise unexposed over this distance and hard to dismiss. |
16/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Two 6f wins at Windsor last summer before finishing seventh in the Group 1 Middle Park; unplaced but ran creditably in three sprint runs in Dubai this year; steps up to 7f with each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
6 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
£300,000 breeze-up purchase; impressively defied a penalty in latest novice start, completing a Windsor double (6f, good/good to firm); won those two races by an aggregate of about 9l and looks potentially smart; interesting contender upped in class. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Wootton Bassett colt is taking his racing well, taking his form to a new level when second in Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster last month; 15 days later not quite as effective but solid run all the same upped to 6f when 3.5l fifth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; major player providing he handles the surface. |

Belied 40-1 odds with strong-finishing second in Curragh Group 3 (6f, good to yielding) where he was the sole newcomer in the field; inexperience costly when in rear in the Middle Park; slowly away when respectable fifth in Leopardstown Group 3 on return 12 days ago; bred to get the mile and could be a class apart. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round. |
9/2 |

5th 1 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
On the up when last seen, rounding off his 2yo campaign with a comfortable come-from-behind win in the Middle Park in September (6f, good to firm); may confirm his superiority over Brussels and Coppull despite the weights turnaround and he is not fully exposed just yet. |
11/8 |
|
9 (8) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Cost 1,000,000 guineas as a yearling and has developed into a smart colt, with ready Listed win at Newbury flanked by good efforts at Royal Ascot and Deauville, close third in the Prix Morny (6f, good) last time; top on ratings and aptly bred, being half-brother to a Middle Park winner. |
