9st 2lb |
Very useful colt but possibly needs to dominate, having gained both wins from the front, latest when taking well to first-time cheekpieces and comfortably beating Avicenna by 2l in the Craven Stakes over C&D (good; Group 3) on seasonal debut; by no means certain to have his own way in this bigger field and he's held by a couple of today's opponents on Dewhurst running; otherwise may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

9st 2lb |
Unsuited by heavy ground in the Futurity on final 2yo start; steadily progressive otherwise, and ran well in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and Dewhurst at Newmarket; however, chance of opening his Group account largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

9st 3lb |
Easy win at Sandown (7f, good) in July on second start then 1l second in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes here (7f, good), behind subsequent Group 1 winner Puerto Rico; may be capable of better than he showed when fifth in the Group 1 Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and there's every chance 1m will suit, but there's a suspicion others in this line-up have greater scope for improvement; unraced on slow ground. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two from two last year, both starts over 7f at Doncaster and getting up on the line in Listed grade the second time; finished nicely for 2l second to Oxagon, who dictated the pace, in the Craven over C&D (good) on reappearance having again been held up; open to further progress and could pick up some pieces in this big-field scenario, assuming the gallop is suitably strong. |

2nd 1 (3) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two from two last year, both starts over 7f at Doncaster, latest in Listed grade (on good ground) when collaring Hankelow on the line despite still seeming green; may have plenty of further progress in him, especially over this extra furlong; one of the main players. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
450,000gns yearling by Starspangledbanner; late foal but 5-6 for a seven-runner novice over C&D (good to firm) four weeks ago and found plenty to lead final 1f, well on top; needs big improvement but that looked highly promising. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has finished behind some of today's rivals on two occasions, latest in the Craven when admittedly running well on bare figures; gained sole success (from five attempts) at novice level and looks well short of the required standard in this field; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |

4th 7 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Newbury when last seen on turf; looked flattered to finished just under 2l behind Hidden Force, who had something in hand, at Kempton most recently and is unlikely to reverse the placings; however, bred to do better still and may produce another good effort. |
20/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the second attempt last year (7f); backed as if defeat was out of the question on his return in a Southwell novice last month (1m) but he hung badly left and was chinned on the line; it's of significant interest that connections pick this as his next assignment over say a 0-90 handicap. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 2-7 and broadly consistent last term; creditable second in last three starts, including in 7f Group 3 at Newmarket; however, his ceiling is seemingly already known and, unlike all of today's rivals, he doesn't have a 2,000 Guineas entry. |

2nd 3 (1) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on second start, then third in hot novice on July Course (7f, good to firm) before winning Doncaster nursery (7f, good to soft); runner-up in German Group 3 (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; seemingly has his limitations but he's an each-way possible. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a Yarmouth novice in May (7f, good to soft) and wasn't disgraced when third to two Godolphin runners in a Newmarket novice last time (7f, good to firm); interesting on handicap debut. |
