3rd 4 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Largely progressive colt whose strike-rate of 7-10 includes wins this year at Meydan (Group 1) and Sandown (made all for a particularly good Group 2 performance under a penalty); collared only towards the finish by Ten Bob Tony and one other rival in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently, deserving credit having set a solid pace over that stiff 1m; flexible tactically and doesn't necessarily need to front-run; the pick of the older runners on ratings and duly commands respect. |

3rd 7 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all for 3l success in a particularly good edition of the bet365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown most recently, defying a 5lb penalty for his Group 1 win at Meydan and taking record to 7-9, as well as reversing Newmarket autumn placings with Zeus Olympios; doesn't necessarily need to dominate up front; new rating puts him on a par with stablemate Notable Speech and even bigger figures may be on the way; respected. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive colt who readily bagged Group 1 honours at Meydan (1m1f, good) three months ago, taking record to 6-8; however, appears to need further improvement to defy 5lb penalty and was no match for Zeus Olympios in last domestic outing. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Very progressive until having plausible excuses in the Sussex Stakes (found to be lame) and QEII (draw to some extent) in last two appearances; impressive wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes make him the one to beat, provided he's back in similar form. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing 1-3 favourite in messy running of the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July but was found to be lame; prior to that he achieved superstar status when easily winning the St James's Palace Stakes here (1m, good to firm; round course), having also impressed in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) previously; he'll be extremely tough to beat if back to his best. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran creditably on soft ground in French contest once, raced on good/firmer otherwise; has followed a very similar path to his brilliant sire Kingman, who won this prize 11 years ago; looked a shade unlucky in the 2,000 Guineas, then gained compensation in the Irish equivalent and was again impressive in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot where he recorded an RPR that surpasses his dad's peak figure; outstanding 3yo and emerging star who sets a tall standard. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
4-4 in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back to somewhere approaching that form when third to Notable Speech in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) and respectable fourth to Ten Bob Tony in the Queen Anne here (straight 1m, good to firm) since, keeping on again after getting outpaced; likely to go well but More Thunder was ahead of him on those last two starts. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
4-4 in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) where he won going away from Opera Ballo; unable to confirm placings with that opponent at Sandown on reappearance but wasn't disgraced and he subsequently ran better, behind Notable Speech and More Thunder, in the Lockinge at Newbury; may yet tap back into his tremendous earlier progress and prove that he can still become a top miler; remains of major interest. |

3rd 10 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very progressive and unbeaten (4-4) in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) where he won going away; finished third, tasting first defeat but not disgraced, at Sandown on reappearance; may resume improvement with that outing under his belt and show that he's still a likely candidate for high ranking in the miling division this term; big player. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Returns to the scene of his biggest performance but that 100-1 success in last year's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over C&D (good) still seems something of a fluke, having been seemingly helped by the draw; has failed to back up the form in races won by Opera Ballo and Notable Speech this season, beaten about 7l both times; dubious claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have the ideal set-up at Sandown (behind Zeus Olympios) on reappearance but still needs to prove the form of his 100-1 success in last year's Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II (1m, good) at Ascot, where he was possibly helped by the draw, can be backed up; may be flattered by his mark. |

4th 1 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who finished third in this race last year; returns to Sandown but may be flattered by his new rating, having been perhaps helped by the draw when registering a 100-1 success in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (good) on last appearance; needs to prove he can back up that form. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
7f wins include the Group 1 City Of York Stakes last summer; not quite at his best this year, although a sixth in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood last month (80-1) was no disgrace; back down in grade and returns to his optimum distance so should be thereabouts. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent with second-place finish behind Qirat over 7f at York last time, the C&D of his Group 1 success last August; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in trip/class and possibly isn't crying out for this return to 1m, despite being a distance winner. |

2nd 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Smart performer; completed a notable hat-trick (on good to firm ground) last summer, culminating in Group 1 honours over C&D; avoids a penalty for that success and holds a leading chance assuming he's back in similar form; best to forgive Epsom Group 3 effort last time (unsuited by the way the race unfolded). |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Most recent success came in Group 2 at Sandown (1m, good) last April; not at best in three runs this season, including in same race and when returned to 1m2f for Group 1 at Royal Ascot five weeks ago; needs a revival. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept on for fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, having been beaten just a neck in the same Group 1 in 2025; on that latest evidence this step back up in trip is worth a go, but others arrive with stronger claims. |
50/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bright start to last season culminated in neck second when favourite for this contest; broadly not in the same form since, most recently last of six (behind two of today's opponents) when bidding for repeat success in Sandown Group 2; big revival is needed in first-time headgear. |
