16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Hugely progressive and unbeaten in his four races, all over 1m on good/firmer; impressively bagged Classic honours at Newmarket in sole start this term, earning an RPR that makes him the joint-best 2,000 Guineas winner since Frankel; the next two home - Gstaad and Distant Storm - franked the form by filling the first two places in the Irish version; sets a tall standard, accordingly, and his trajectory brings the tantalising prospect of even bigger figures; massively exciting colt. |

1st 4 (15) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Son of 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder and from the family of Dubawi; three from three last term, all starts over 1m, driven out for 1l success in the Royal Lodge at Newmarket (good to firm; Group 2) the final time; that wasn't necessarily a star performance but he keeps getting the job done and commands major respect, being a progressive colt who has a perfect record and has had a "faultless spring" according to his trainer; furthermore, he's already proven over C&D. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Both runs over 1m on good ground; impressive when making light work of a subsequent winner at Newbury and was nicely on top at the finish when having to dig deeper to secure a Listed race at Haydock (runner-up well regarded in a top yard); reportedly thrilled his connections in a recent gallop. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very solid performer who continues to improve steadily and has never finished out of the first two; readily landed the Coventry at this meeting 12 months ago and has performed well at Group/Grade 1 level since, most recently registering a 3l success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, taking record over 1m to 2-3; clear best of the remainder behind Bow Echo at Newmarket earlier in May and should give the rematch his best shot. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Beat stablemate True Love on debut before landing the Coventry Stakes; second in three consecutive Group 1 races, including the National Stakes and the Dewhurst; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has evidently trained on and can go one better than in the 2,000 Guineas by upholding form with Distant Storm. |
4/9 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Proved rock-solid as a 2yo, readily winning the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f) then posting form figures of 2221 at Group/Grade 1 level, including in the Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f) when doing well considering he was free to post and in the race; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm; won with something to spare); supplemented (effectively re-added) into this at a cost of £30,000 having been removed in late March due to a clerical error; leading contender in his bid to end a 2,000 Guineas drought for Aidan O'Brien, who has landed this Classic a record ten times but not since 2019. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
E1,900,000 breeze-up purchase last spring; very smart juvenile form, aside from when pulling too hard in the Acomb; impressed in winning a 1m Group 3 event at Newmarket in September before a fine third placing (1 1/2l behind Gstaad) in the Dewhurst; now has an 8l deficit to overturn in another clash with Gstaad following his distant 2,000 Guineas third; first-time cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Aptly bred, being by Night Of Thunder and out of a mare by another 2,000 Guineas winner, namely George Washington; 1,900,000euros breeze-up purchase last spring and duly made a big splash in his 2yo races, aside from when pulling too hard in the Acomb; showed smart from at Newmarket (7f, good/good to firm) in the autumn, impressing in the Tattersalls Stakes (Group 3) then running well (one place behind Gstaad) in the Dewhurst; yard has landed this prize three times in the last four years; big player. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
1,900,000euros breeze-up purchase; pulled too hard in the Acomb but that defeat is flanked by Newmarket wins; debut form has worked out well and he was impressive in the Goup 3 Tattersalls Stakes over C&D (good) last time having settled better than at York; looks a Group 1 performer in the making and commands respect. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Second in the 6f Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes as a 2yo; shaped really well when fourth in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on return, fading after disputing lead until over 1f out; that form has worked out notably well and this intermediate distance should suit him down to the ground; strong contender. |
5/1 |

4th 7 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Showed useful form over 6.5f and 6f at Newbury (good/good to soft) last season, winning a maiden by sizeable margin then clear second in the Mill Reef (Group 2; hung left; collared near the finish); good prospect for Jim Boyle this term but doesn't appear to be crying out for 1m. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Belied his 80-1 odds with emphatic success from the front, ahead of rivals who were strung out like jumpers, in Newbury maiden (6.5f, good) last month; subsequently bought into by Doreen Tabor and supplemented for this prize at a cost of £6,250; very promising. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

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. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (1) |
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. |
6/1 |
|
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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the Group 3 Craven on the Rowley Mile here in April (1m, good) in first-time cheekpieces; soundly beaten in Group 1s on next two starts and same outcome in Group 3 Hampton Court at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); blinkers replace the cheekpieces and the drop back in trip could help; in with a chance on his best form, even under a 5lb penalty, but has to get back on track. |
11/1 |

10th 2 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Group 3 Craven at Newmarket (1m, good) in April in first-time cheekpieces (retained) then kept on for respectable sixth in the 2,000 Guineas there (1m, good to firm); faded when 12th of 16 in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) but this trip may well be within range if he settles better; not ruled out back down in grade under 4lb penalty. |
7/1 |

6th 11 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
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. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won a Group 1 over 6f here on his final juvenile start (good); runner-up behind subsequent Royal Ascot and Group 1 winner on his reappearance in a Group 3 over 7f at Leopardstown in April (good to yielding); probably not up to the top level as shown in three Group 1 runs over 1m since, but his latest two were meritable; big danger dropping in class and trip; top rated of the field too; stable a little cold currently though. |
100/30 |

4th 4 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his 2yo Group 1 success over 6f then ran respectably over 7f on reappearance; midfield in the 2,000 Guineas and fourth in the Irish equivalent since upped to 1m, both times finishing behind some of today's rivals and leaving the impression he ideally needs a return to shorter; likely to be outstayed and outclassed. |
100/1 |

4th 8 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Productive juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win here from True Love in the 6f Phoenix Stakes (good); respectable second to Thesecretadversary (received 3lb), in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance; by no means a bad effort in the 2,000 Guineas on his first attempt at this trip, but probably more of a sprinting type. |

Won on good to firm as 2yo; 80-1 when among the backmarkers in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces; all change with blinkers, 1m3f and heavy going for the Derby Italiano at Milan 17 days ago and it worked a treat as he came home strongly from midfield to win in the final strides; that was a doughty performance and this is another Group 2, but he faces stronger opposition. |
16/1 |
|
10th 15 (11) |
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. |

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. |

Quite a progressive sort on AW and has gained both wins over 7f at Kempton, including in Class 4 handicap latest start; soundly beaten in both turf attempts, always behind in the 2,000 Guineas on second occasion; plenty to find and plenty to prove back in this sphere. |

Has plenty to find in this field and needs to settle better to boot, having raced too freely in Listed event last time when bidding for a Newcastle (1m, AW) double; behind Distant Storm on sole turf attempt; unlikely to emulate his sire Night Of Thunder, who landed this prize in 2014. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |

Promising fourth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last July on sole 2yo start and he easily justified 1-6 odds in a four-runner novice over this C&D four weeks ago; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this 2,000 Guineas entry could have plenty more to offer for his top northern yard. |

Similar to Into The Sky in having raced at Newbury on both starts; did just enough to win 2yo maiden (6.5f, soft) then ran well, about 2l fourth to Alparslan, in the Greenham (7f, good); the way he shaped last time suggests additional improvement is plausible upped further in trip; by 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder; more interesting than bare ratings suggest. |

Edged ahead inside the final half-furlong and did just enough at Newbury (6.5f, soft) on the same day that Gonna Fly won in better style over 1m; holds a 2,000 Guineas entry, unlike that rival, and is open to progress; bottom of this pack on bare figures as things stand, however. |

Progressed well in his first three outings, with 7f 2yo wins at Doncaster (good to firm/good) and a promising second in the Craven (raced freely, bit short of room), but he ran no sort of race in the 2,000 Guineas (last of 14; 14-1) seven weeks ago; still low-mileage and could bounce back. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

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. |

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. |
