20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Chesham Stakes runner-up here in 2025; convincing winner of Leopardstown Group 3 (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance before racing freely in 2,000 Guineas and Irish 2,000 Guineas; has had more racing than most of these and has to carry a penalty but should be suited by this return to 7f. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Chesham Stakes runner-up and Listed winner at Tipperary before a respectable effort in a 1m Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start; won going away from Power Blue (gave 3lb) in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; pulled very hard in the 2,000 Guineas; fifth was a decent outcome in the circumstances; can make his presence felt if settling better. |

5th 14 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish colt who has built up a solid record that includes a good effort in Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start (sole 1m attempt); won going away from Power Blue, who conceded 3lb, in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; could go well but several others bring stronger claims in terms of class and/or potential. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last year; standout effort this season when winning 7f Group 2 Minstrel Stakes there (good to firm) in July; might have been unsuited by heavy ground when behind Soul Love back at 6f last time; not ruled out entirely but he would need a personal best. |

27th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Won the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes last year; took on the best of the 1m 3yo colts in two Guineas races and the St James's Palace before dropping back in trip to beat Big Gossey in the 7f Group 2 Minstrel Stakes here; failed to feature in a 7f York Group 1, and has to rebound from that; may retain the speed to win a race of this standard. |

9st 0lb |
In June he changed hands for £260,000 soon after finishing close up in a Group 3 over 7f at Leopardstown (soft); absent since but he could be better at 1m, over which he also boasts smart form (once on heavy); these terms aren't easy, though. |

3rd 7 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
8st 13lb |
Tipperary maiden winner last year over extended 7f on yielding; backed it up when second to the smart Limestone on heavy at Listowel; returned this term with a clear career-best when 3.25l third to Thesecretadversary in Group 3 over C&D; didn't back that up last time out at the Curragh but each-way chance with conditions to suit down in trip. |
11/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

1-5 as a two-year-old, the win coming in a 7.5f (yielding) Tipperary maiden in August; huge step forward on latest when running on nicely for a 3.25l third in a Leopardstown Group 3 (Geryon and Iron Lily behind); step back up to 1m looks sure to suit; go well if handling this quicker ground (half-brother won on good to firm). |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 6lb |
Very solid performer at this sort of level, decisively landing the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown in July; good second to the subsequent St Leger runner-up in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, before a below-par run at York; sets a good standard and sure to be hard to beat. |
7/4 |

5th 10 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who has got better with each run this season and impressed in the Group 3 Meld at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) last month before finishing second in the Group 3 Gordon at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) under a 3lb penalty (same today); runner-up in a Group 2 on yielding to soft last September; this versatile sort could be in the mix back down in trip. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran in two Group 2s as 2yo and progressive at Listed/Group 3 levels this season, winning well at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) two weeks ago when he reverted to front-running; probably stayed 1m2f on penultimate start, without shouting that he's a 1m4f horse. |

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. |

9st 6lb |
Won 7f AW maiden on final 2yo start; creditable show in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) in April but he scoped dirty after finishing remote in Listed race on final start for Jessica Harrington; open to improvement at some stage for new yard but this is a testing start for them. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Good run on debut here (7f, sft-hvy) in October when a 2.25l second behind Causeway; off the mark in 7f Dundalk maiden later that month; far from disgraced on seasonal return in 7f Leopardstown Group 3 (gd-yld); closely matched with Geryon and Redemption Road on that run and shaped like further would suit; not out of this. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 42y |

Wootton Bassett colt; no match for a Ballydoyle favourite at the Curragh (7f, soft to heavy) last October; had plenty in reserve when winning a Dundalk later that month; can win more races this term; this may prove too demanding on return. |

2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Smart 2yo mostly relegated to pacemaking duties this season, although penultimate start in Curragh Group 2 was decent; last in the Sussex on Wednesday having done his job, and is the complete opposite of one who has been laid out for this. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ended last season with a couple of notable wins but broadly hasn't been in the same form this term and is currently well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, as his rating reflects; bottom of this pack on said figures and is possibly in here to help with pacemaking duties for Gstaad. |

Capable of useful form but is well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle and 0-6 since debut win; never-dangerous 11th of 30, fitted with cheekpieces, in Royal Ascot handicap (1m) most recently; headgear retained; clear bottom of this pack on ratings and is possibly in here as pacemaker for his two stablemates. |
100/1 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
All six runs on good or good to yielding ground; runner-up in small-field Group 3s last season and returned to something like that level when beaten 3l (held up) in a competitive 1m1f Listed race at Navan; however, when that was only 11 days ago this hardly smacks of a masterplan; sports headgear for the first time. |

5th 9 (5) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Placed in two small-field Group 3 races at two; question to answer on this year's form; held by Geryon on Leopardstown running; last of five behind Constitution River in the Dee Stakes; stablemate Isaac Newton is more appealing. |

Beat a smart rival in 6f Curragh maiden (heavy) in October; only 6-1 for 7f Guineas trial at Leopardstown, still looked green and didn't land a blow; could be a different proposition in a handicap with that run behind him and headgear added. |

Wootton Bassett colt is second foal of a 7f 2yo Listed winner (RPR 104), a half-sister to 1m1f Group 3 winner Red Riding Hood, from family of 7f-1m2f Group 1 winner Misty For Me; sole Ballydoyle runner so warrants major respect. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Wootton Bassett colt and the first foal of an unraced sister to Group 1 winners Forever Together (Oaks) and Together Forever (Fillies' Mile and dam of City Of Troy); bred to get further than 6f but it was over 5f that he powered clear for a successful debut at Navan (stiff track; good; 18-1) and that was all the more impressive given that he was a market drifter; one of two runners from a stable that's won this ten times; commands the utmost respect despite Ryan Moore's apparent preference for Gstaad. |
