4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Ballydoyle colt who went close in a strong maiden on debut and is 4-4 since, most recently beating stablemate Hawk Mountain by just under 1l in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f); impressive at Chester the time before and that Listed form has worked out well; top on the figures, still improving to boot and represents a trainer who has landed this prize nine times, including with 3yos (among them a French Derby winner) in four of the last five years; duly much respected. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 1 entry at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f; by Wootton Bassett out of unplaced sister to 1m4f/1m6f Group 1 winner Wonderful Tonight; short-headed at Newmarket before making all when odds-in in both a Galway maiden (7f, yielding) last July and five-runner Group 2 at the Curragh (7f, good) last August; both wins came with authority and the pedigree is encouraging for 1m2f; his enthusiasm for getting on with it last year raises more of a question but the 1m2f French Derby has been mentioned by his trainer as an objective. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Holds outstanding claims here despite having only a debut win to his name; form last season and this term ties in with several top-class Ballydoyle colts, including when fourth behind three of them in the Prix du Jockey-Club and when splitting Constitution River and Hawk Mountain in the Eclipse. |

2nd 4 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-6 since debut success doesn't tell the whole story as he's shown progressive form behind Ballydoyle colts, including the subsequent Derby winner, in last four appearances; did well to finish fourth in the French Derby (10.5f, good) most recently, having met traffic issues and come from a lot further back than the first three; provided the cards drop more kindly, has possibilities in this intriguing rematch with Constitution River and Hawk Mountain. |

9st 5lb |
Debut maiden winner; lost out by only a short head to Christmas Day in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes here in October on his fourth start; built on that when 2l second to Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud; does not need to improve much to win a Pattern race; solid chance here. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 4-6 includes three Group wins, notably the Futurity at Doncaster last autumn; has taken well to headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers) in two races at Chantilly this season, good second to stablemate Constitution River in the French Derby (10.5f, good) latest; no certainty to reverse placings with that colt, who is still improving, but is building up a solid record and again has place possibilities. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive colt whose record is 4-8 and who has never finished out of the first three; beaten over 3l by similar type Gethin at Newbury early last season but holds a fighting chance in the rematch, having roughly caught up with that rival in terms of ratings; creditable third to sibling Almaqam in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (first Group 1 attempt) most recently; particularly interesting returned to Sandown, being 2-2 over C&D, namely wins in a useful handicap last August (soft) and this year's Gordon Richards Stakes (good). |
13/2 |

3rd 6 (6) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Rose through the ranks last season, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) and Sandown (1m2f, soft); took the next step forward when landing Group 3 honours at Sandown (1m2f, good) on seasonal return (a race commonly won by high-class performers); enters the big league now but further improvement is by no means ruled out for a four-year-old having just his eighth start. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive colt whose record is 3-6 and who has never finished out of the first two; comfortably bagged AW Listed honours on seasonal debut then posted a highly notable effort in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over C&D (good) even allowing that he received 7lb from the neck winner Ombudsman, whose subsequent Royal Ascot performance puts him in contention for being the world's current best racehorse; sire won this race in 2020; brings strong claims to this first Group 1 attempt. |

2nd 5 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
2-2 (heavy/good) prior to finishing second in two Listed races last autumn (1m4f/1m2f, very soft/good to soft); reappeared with convincing Listed win at Kempton (1m2f, AW), an improved performance which bodes very well for his future prospects; acquired by Wathnan Racing since that last run; respected. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (7) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has endured an abbreviated four-race career under Callum Rodriguez but has shown smart form, ending last year with second-place finishes in Listed events at Saint-Cloud (1m4f, very soft) and Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft); no problem with the five-month absence and is half-brother to two AW winners including Global Giant, who won this race in 2021; major player. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Late headway once in the clear in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June, finishing seventh of 16, and outclassed in the Eclipse since (well beaten at 100-1); drops back in grade and the step back up in trip is worth a go, but he's 0-13 in Group/Listed races since winning the London Gold Cup in May 2024 and may again find a few too good. |
9/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin. |

7th 10 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long. |

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. |

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. |
