20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the last three of his five starts; this season they were 1m2f handicaps (good; unraced on firmer) at Sandown and Newbury, latterly in the London Gold Cup in which he travelled very strongly before squeezing through over 1f out and prevailing virtually on the nod against Sahara King, as the pair drew about 2l clear; these powerful owners have acquired both horses since; up 7lb but improving and capable of better. |

8st 7lb |
Plenty of ability all 2yo starts, on final occasion always front rank to win a maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft); dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and he duly improved at 1m2f when reappearing in a six-runner handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on; up 6lb but should have more improvement in him. |

Promising third last year on first two starts (1m, good/soft) then won Haydock maiden (1m, good to soft) in September; his dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and it seems likely that he'll improve for this step up in trip on handicap/seasonal debut; trainer won this in 2024. |

Won a 7f maiden here last June in his only race as a 2yo; twice second in small-field races but was beginning to look limited until producing a smart display to take second in the 1m2f Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot; below that form on latest. |

Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; never dangerous in 1m2f Group 3 this May but useful form when second in small-field events over 1m2f/1m4f on starts either side (last time 7l behind Thursday's Listed second Endorsement); lightly raced but needs to show something new for a prominent finish on this handicap debut. |

11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip. |

Highly tried in Pattern races as a juvenile; off the mark when making all over an extended 1m2f at Roscommon on seasonal debut this term; only 1 3/4l behind the stronger-finishing Amadeus Mozart when fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); proved vulnerable over a longer trip in the 1m5f Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket; cheekpieces on now. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Pitched into Group events twice as 2yo and it wasn't until his second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon); 22-1, every chance through the final 2f when an excellent fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; longer trips than that now look well worth a go but he has the most to prove in this field, including with a bit to find on form. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; pitched into Group 2 and Group 3 events for minor roles on the last two of his three outings as 2yo; it wasn't until second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon) and he had to knuckle down seriously, but that even-money success from a stablemate (who was 13th in Thursday's King George V) brings improved form into this much harder task for handicap debut. |

Sole win was at 1-4 in a novice race but competitive every time, in valuable handicaps over 1m and 1m2f on last two outings (good to firm); latest was at Royal Ascot (10-1) where he had the widest draw and mostly raced widest but kept on in fifth of 16 (Evanesco nearly 2l behind in seventh); that did not look the ideal run of the race and he's probably set for better still. |

Reappeared at 1-4 with a ready novice win; 2-1 favourite when good fourth of 14 for the rearranged Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m on good to firm) three weeks ago on handicap debut, making inroads too late but that experience of a hot handicap at right-handed track could stand him in good stead and, in accordance with the dam's side, 1m2f now looks well worth exploring. |

Runner-up last October on both 2yo starts (7f, AW/good), on the second occasion in a novice at Newmarket that has worked out very well; reappeared with a ready win at 1-4 in Wetherby novice (1m, good to firm) and there's every chance that this unexposed colt will be better than today's opening mark. |

Record is only 1-15 but he has plenty of useful form, latterly running well in 1m2f handicaps at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) and the York Ebor festival (good to soft); could once more be in the mix. |

3rd 9 (19) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Group placed as 2yo and he's run well in top 3yo only handicaps over 1m2f this summer, finishing second of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm; probably acts on good to soft) off this mark last time; respected with Oisin Murphy taking the reins for the first time. |

Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |

Stays 1m2f and acts on good to firm; put firmly in his place when 20-1 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown on reappearance but made late headway into fourth of ten off this mark to Lost Boys in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on handicap debut, despite racing freely in rear early on; could have more to give and a stronger pace today may suit. |

Some good efforts at 7f and 1m in Listed events at home and Group 3s in Italy since winning a 7f novice at Doncaster as 2yo; quite badly hampered on handicap debut in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (upped to 1m2f) but his race was run at the time; probably needs to drop in the weights. |

His win was in a 7f novice at Doncaster (good) last July; subsequent efforts include minor honours in a Listed race and two Italian Group 3s, latterly emerging in third of 14 with first-time cheekpieces in their version of the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); that does not make him well handicapped today but his sire gives plenty of hope for 1m2f. |

On the Derby trail after winning AW novice in April and finished third in Blue Riband Trial at Epsom and Lingfield Derby Trial in the spring; like many he was beaten a long way in the big one and his subsequent 14th in the Golden Gates here (1m2f, good to firm) was underwhelming; off since and has been gelded; will need to resume in his spring form to make an impact but a handicapping case can be made. |

Has a record of 0-5 on turf, compared to 2-2 on AW, and isn't particularly solid on his form in this sphere (possibly flattered by best RPR); however, this combination of drop back in trip/class and first-time headgear may have a positive effect. |

Won from the front in two Kempton novices (1m, AW) as 2yo; beat just one rival in the course of three starts since, still showing useful form on reappearance (last of four in a 1m conditions stakes) but eased right down once pursuit was in vain at Epsom (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago on handicap debut; plenty to prove but at least stamina in the family suggests he should stay. |
