Won a Group 3 and Group 2 in France last season (1m, soft/good to soft); this prominent-racer has run well in defeat in 1m Group 2 races on his last three starts (soft/good) but needs something extra today. |

9st 6lb |
Winner of this race for Johnny Murtagh, third of 19 last season when trained by George Boughey; generally disappointing since and the most recent of his five wins was for Murtagh in a 7f conditions race at Tipperary in April 2022; change of stable for 2025 campaign. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his third on heavy ground at the Curragh (1m) in March but he's been generally disappointing since and was only tenth of 14 at Doncaster two weeks ago; new headgear is now tried but his last win was in 2022 and others are more convincing. |

Finished third in this race in 2021 and filled the same position at Ascot last time; not guaranteed to repeat the form, having been inconsistent this year, and his long losing run is another negative. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Group 1 winner in 2018 when trained in France but he's 0-11 for current stable; went close off 5lb higher in the 2022 Royal Hunt Cup but he's generally struggled in his last seven runs and refused to race at Sandown last month; others preferred. |

Group 1 winner in 2018 when trained in France; 0-10 for current stable; close second in the 2022 Royal Hunt Cup but ran poorly in the latest running of that contest; others are more appealing. |

9st 6lb |
Group 1 winner in 2018 when trained in France; 0-9 for current yard but ran well (close second) off 1lb higher in this contest 12 months ago and has a fighting chance if back in the same form; hinted at a revival on latest outing. |

9st 2lb |
Strode clear for an 11l success in Meydan handicap (1m2f, good) two months ago, recording a smart RPR; however, it remains to be seen whether he can transfer that improved form back to British soil and he's the stable second-string/ with William Buick on board Ottoman Fleet. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021; close second off 2lb higher to Jam Lass in this race last year but modest over hurdles this term for new yard and tailed off at 100-1 when back to Flat 18 days ago; cheekpieces (worn for most of 2025) get their first airing this year. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

Modest RPRs at best switched to hurdles this year for new yard; hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021 but went close off current mark at Redcar last October in most recent Flat run. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well held when third in C&D maidens on last two hurdling starts but ran well to a point both times and has been given a wind op since; smart on the Flat at his best (fourth in 2022 Derby) and open to improvement over hurdles on this handicap debut. |

Worcester maiden and Fontwell novice winner last summer/autumn; unseen since a 19l ninth of nine on October's Wincanton handicap debut, but retains vast handicapping scope judged on his smart Flat form; can go well fresh though doesn't always. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Not proven on worse than good to soft and unraced beyond 2m; 7yo who is 0-14 since winning at Meydan in January 2025; performed really well in plenty of Group races, including the last two runnings of the 1m6f Yorkshire Cup, but he ran a stinker back at York three starts ago and also disappointed there on last two (15th in the Ebor last time); big questions to answer after that. |

Not proven on worse than good to soft; fourth in this race in 2024; 7yo who is 0-13 since winning at Meydan in January 2025; has run really well in plenty of Group races in the interim, including the last two runnings of the Yorkshire Cup over C&D, but he ran a stinker in C&D Listed event in June and also disappointed here on latest start; big questions to answer after that. |

7yo who is 0-12 since winning at Meydan in January 2025; has run really well in plenty of Group races in the interim, including the last two runnings of the Yorkshire Cup over C&D, but he ran a stinker in C&D Listed event four weeks ago; bang there if he bounces straight back. |
