26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Produced a career-best performance when a well-backed winner on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) in July; a case can be made on that form but he wasn't at the same level at Ascot (1m, good to firm) subsequently and has to leave that run behind. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
With this visor back on, and back on better ground, he returned to form with a well-backed win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, coming clear with a runner-up who was returning from a long absence and won at Sandown on Thursday; an 8lb rise might not stop him. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second in Group 3 contest at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last time but this is a better race for the grade; inconsistent otherwise this term; returns to AW for first time since debut win. |
14/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |
4/1 |

4th 9 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Useful sort whose handicap form features 1m wins on turf last September and AW penultimate start; below-par third in 1m1f Listed contest in France latest; worth another crack at this grade but possibly isn't crying out for the further increase in distance. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a Doncaster handicap (1m, good) last September; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been beaten 11l and 18l in Listed events in his last two starts; has bit to prove after another break and he's untried on AW. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won debut last August and a 1m1f AW Group 3 at Chantilly in November; runner-up in British Group 3s in two other starts, one on good to firm last October and the other in Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f) this April; that's not the best form in this field and he wasn't so good in the Dante at York in May on latest outing, but this lightly raced 3yo could still bring potential and William Buick seemingly prefers him to Arabian Light. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won debut last August and a 1m1f AW Group 3 at Chantilly in November; runner-up in British Group 3s in his other two starts, on reappearance starting 11-2 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good; unraced on softer) and keeping on steadily from rear to be second of seven, with Wise Prince and Action the next two behind him; that's not the best form in this field but he could still bring potential. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Just lost out in a Group 2 at Goodwood last summer then won three-runner Listed race (1m); best work late when third of 16 in a Group 3 at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 25-1) following ten months off, but nowhere near that level back in Listed company in July; has work to do; yard runs two. |
7/1 |

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. |
