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. |

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. |

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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
All seven races at 7f; progressive in handicaps in the spring and made it 2-3 for the year when doing it readily at Ascot (good) in May; down the field in the Group 3 Jersey at the Royal meeting (good to firm; third of seven in the near-side group) but he's better than that and is not ruled out in view of his previous promise, especially as the step up to 1m could suit. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Tends to be delivered late; keeps getting better and showed his liking for this C&D when beating nine opponents with plenty in hand in handicap here six weeks ago; should continue on an upward curve and he's well worth his place in this higher grade. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive winner over 7f on Southwell AW reappearance; made favourite for a good 7f Newbury handicap since, when 6lb well in under a penalty, but failed to get into the action soon enough, finishing second to a more prominently ridden winner (May Angel just behind); still has potential despite running off his new mark and this stiff 7f can suit. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Went close on debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) last September then kept on well to win a 1m maiden here (good) in October; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but his dam is from a classy family and he's in excellent hands; entered in the Dante and Derby and could be set for big 3yo campaign. |

9st 7lb |
425,000gns yearling by Wootton Bassett out of 1m4f-winning sister to Breeders' Cup Turf and Arc winner Found; 5-1, narrowly came off worse in a sustained duel with an Ed Dunlop-trained newcomer in maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) three weeks ago, the pair clear of a pretty useful third; sets the standard and looks sure to improve. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Went very close in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) last July and easily won four-runner Listed race at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) the following month; then absent until Royal Ascot last month when he kept on for third of 16 in the Group 3 Jersey (7f, good to firm); the return to 1m seems a likely plus and he's a leading candidate under William Buick. |

3rd 10 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Developed into a useful 2yo, following a close second in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) by beating his two rivals in a Salisbury Listed race (1m, good to firm); has a lengthy absence to overcome, and this drop back in distance isn't an obvious plus judged on his pedigree, but he's in excellent hands and retains potential. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won well in a novice event at Haydock in May; leapt forward again when second of ten in a Group 2 at Goodwood (again 7f on good; 22-1) 15 days ago, coming from the rear (despite hanging right) to go down by a head, and that makes him the clear form pick. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
2yo Listed winner at Pontefract (1m, soft) last October and he appeared suited by the drop back to 1m when runner-up in the German 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) in May, behind Title Role who followed up in a US Grade 1 last Saturday; entitled to respect. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dante entry; progressive with 3-4 record in Britain last season, ending with a Listed win from the front at Pontefract (1m, soft); however, beaten a long way in Saudi Arabia this February and although back near his 2yo form in Listed race at Newmarket (1m1f, good; disputed lead 2f out) three weeks ago, that was good enough for only fifth of seven to Morshdi; major work to do. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten long way in Saudi Arabia in sole outing this year; 3-4 on home soil and made all for a clearcut success in Listed event at Pontefract (1m, soft) the final time; probably needs to resume that progress to defy a 3lb penalty in this rather deeper race for the grade. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Raced four times last year, finishing third in the Group 2 Superlative at this meeting (7f, good to firm) and going close in a Canadian Grade 1 (1m, firm) in September; this is his first run since and William Buick rides Morris Dancer, but it will be no surprise to see a big performance. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won well at Haydock and nearly defied a penalty in C&D contest, narrowly failing to collar a bigger-priced stablemate (newcomer); William Buick prefers Saba Desert but this colt retains potential. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Too Darn Hot half-brother to two Group 1 winners, including stablemate Shadow Of Light; justified favouritism with a 5l success in Haydock contest (7f, good to firm) and looks a bright prospect; commands respect. |
