6th 2 (15) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't give his running in bid for back-to-back victories in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (last of 26) last month, but he'd previously shaped well when second in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock; this C&D winner (good to firm) takes a drop in grade and will be a danger to all if on a going day. |

26th 2 (18) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
A massive improver in 2025 as he was still cleaning up in handicaps in the spring before nipping home to win this race (good to firm) from Frost At Dawn; down the field on first run since, at York in May, but he came on a ton to chase home Night Raider at Haydock (5f, good to soft) latest; likely to pull out the stops for another excellent effort. |

2nd 3 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive in 2025, winning the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also won on good to soft last year; it was his first run since when down the field at York recently and he may have needed it, but a dramatic transformation is required just ten days on. |
9/1 |

10th 3 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Has built up a good strike rate over 5f/5.5f and registered a neck success at Royal Ascot (good to firm) upped to Group 1 level when last seen; landed a handicap at this meeting 12 months ago; very progressive and has possibilities provided he's as effective back at 6f. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Made outstanding progress in 5f handicaps and the way he raced to the front at York (good to firm) in May showed that a switch to Group company wouldn't be at all fanciful; unable to show what he was made of behind Mgheera in a Group 2 at Haydock (5f, good) since, as a gap shut as he was about to go through it, and he remains one to keep on the right side. |
