2nd 3 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive gelding who was going back-to-back when landing valuable York handicap (1m, good to soft) at the Ebor festival last month; transitioned to Group races when pushing Persica very close at Haydock (1m, heavy) three weeks ago; those efforts came on softer ground than is forecast but it's possible he's simply improving; player. |

2nd 5 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 5-13, with four of those wins coming in eight races since gelded; tackles his first Group race after back-to-back wins in 1m handicaps at York, the latest gained in convincing fashion on good to soft (unraced on slower); with the wind in his sails he's not easily dismissed. |

1st 5 (15) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Added to his two AW wins early this year when scoring over C&D (good to firm) last month; 6lb higher in hotter race today but this lightly raced 4yo is progressive; unraced on slow turf but dam's family excelled on it. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner on ground slower than good, including a C&D handicap last September; back on good to soft he chased home a handicap snip last weekend at Goodwood; he'll give his running but that's unlikely to be good enough. |
18/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressed into a useful sort last term but has a doubt over current form, having posted two duck eggs (both at Ascot) this season; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Last year's Autumn Stakes winner over C&D (good to firm; made all) who reappeared with a cracking third in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, very soft) in May; didn't match that level on his next two starts but, like Colori Forever, he was on the tails of Persica and The Lost King in Haydock Group 3 (1m, heavy) three weeks ago; that was a step back in the right direction and maybe new cheekpieces can give him a further boost. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Group 3 winner at two but easily his best run came in defeat when a close third in the French 2,000 Guineas in May (1m, very soft; led and then rallied); since then he's finished down the field in the French Derby and again in the 1m1f Strensall at York where he raced too close to a strong pace; he could have pressure up front if intent on leading, but under his optimum conditions he's a player. |
6/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won on debut here (7f, good) last June and made it 2-3 as 2yo when making all in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October; reappeared with fine front-running third in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai Des Poulains at Longchamp (1m, very soft) in May; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) three weeks later but has had a break since and is very much of interest judged on his previous form. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
3yo who won a handicap here (7f, good) in May and has run well in Listed and Group 3 races over 1m subsequently; down the field in a Group 2 at Newmarket three weeks ago but he was slowly away and detached early; not ruled out back in a handicap. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Likeable sort who is having a good year, his two 7f handicap wins in the spring followed by a Listed-race second (good to firm) in July; finished on the heels of Persica and The Lost King when fifth in Haydock Group 3 (also 1m, heavy) three weeks ago; that came after a mini-break and he'll be fine back on better ground; has something to find on the figures but can go close. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced at two and a sharp improver this season, initially in 7f handicaps and latterly holding his own in a 1m Listed race at the July meeting (good to firm), beating all bar subsequent Group 3 winner Shayem; this is tougher again and what he'll make of slower ground is open for debate, but unlikely they've reached the ceiling with him. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Promised to be a top miler in 2025, having started that season in tremendous style, but has posted inconsistent figures since going close in the Lockinge; best effort of 2026 when fourth in that Newbury contest in May; down the field in this race 12 months ago; again looks up against it. |
66/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Has never convinced beyond a mile, making it 0-4 at 1m2f/1m4f when last in a Group 2 at York in July; a repeat of his 3l fourth to Notable Speech in the Group 1 Lockinge (first-time cheekpieces) in May would guarantee a major role at this level, and he nearly won that race the previous year; has smart form on all surfaces. |
11/4 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
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 Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in sole 2yo start; has performed well in a couple of Group 3 contests this term but was a disappointing favourite, albeit on heavy ground, kept to same grade last time; seemed unsuited by Newmarket in sole Group 1 attempt (2,000 Guineas); bottom on ratings back up in class. |
100/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won his Newbury maiden on soft; has raced only four times and sole blip came when 18-1 for the 2,000 Guineas; interesting that he was considered up to that task and, after a break of 96 days, he did all his best work late to take second in a 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown (good); there's surely more to come, as a Group 1 QEII entry would imply. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Narrow winner of a maiden over an extended 6f (soft) on his debut at Newbury last October; reappeared in the Greenham at the same venue and emerged with credit in finishing fourth of eight, looking in need of a stronger gallop; still looked raw when running in the 2,000 Guineas, eased when beaten; interesting here if he emerges more mature after three months off. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Second in this last year (soft) and he reappeared with a 50-1 Listed third at Haydock (7f, good) in May; however, he's finished down the field on his four outings since and needs to turn things around. |
40/1 |

8th 1 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Winning touch has deserted him since taking back-to-back novices in the spring of 2024; has run some good races during the losing sequence and testing ground won't hold him back, but even if right on his game these weights are unfavourable. |
25/1 |
|
11th 5 (16) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
In June he changed hands for £260,000 soon after finishing close up in a Group 3 over 7f at Leopardstown (soft); absent since but he could be better at 1m, over which he also boasts smart form (once on heavy); these terms aren't easy, though. |

3rd 7 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
8st 13lb |
Tipperary maiden winner last year over extended 7f on yielding; backed it up when second to the smart Limestone on heavy at Listowel; returned this term with a clear career-best when 3.25l third to Thesecretadversary in Group 3 over C&D; didn't back that up last time out at the Curragh but each-way chance with conditions to suit down in trip. |
11/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
1-5 as a two-year-old, the win coming in a 7.5f (yielding) Tipperary maiden in August; huge step forward on latest when running on nicely for a 3.25l third in a Leopardstown Group 3 (Geryon and Iron Lily behind); step back up to 1m looks sure to suit; go well if handling this quicker ground (half-brother won on good to firm). |
