20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Soft-ground second in the 2,000 Guineas in 2023; smart handicapper nowadays but his only success remains a C&D novice win at the 2022 Western meeting; two good placed efforts over 1m at Thirsk this year but well held at Ascot latest and others are preferred for the win again. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground second in the 2,000 Guineas in 2023; smart handicapper nowadays who still has just one novice success to his name; went close in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (good) on reappearance and it was a step back in the right direction when close third of five at that track (also 1m, good to firm) last month; hasn't shone in three starts here (admittedly twice in Group 1s) but handicapper is gradually relenting. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Runner-up in the 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but just a useful handicapper nowadays; comes into the reckoning on his second in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (good ground) on reappearance but hasn't repeated the form and carries risks. |

Won with something to spare in the Queen Anne over C&D (good to firm) in June and did likewise in another Group 1 at Deauville in August (1m, good; Prix Jacques le Marois); runner-up in Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp (1m, soft) last month behind one given an enterprising ride; leading claims. |

Acts on soft; ran respectably in top 1m races won by Paddington last season; 2-2 this term, readily winning the Doncaster Mile (Listed) then coming with a late surge to beat Poker Face in the bet365 Mile at Sandown (Group 2); better than ever as a 4yo and may well improve further; major player. |

8st 11lb |
On a competitive mark on last year's best efforts but he's without a win since September 2022 and finished merely in mid-division on reappearance in the Lincoln at Doncaster in March (unseated rider on the way to post). |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Winless since September 2022 and 0-9 last year after returning from a stint in Australia; however, last season's best efforts came over C&D, including when fifth in this (good to soft) and runner-up in October (heavy); 7lb lower than 12 months ago and Jack Callan removes valuable 5lb; each-way claims. |

Appears to handle any ground; on a three-year losing spell but has come down the weights and in-frame efforts over C&D and at Goodwood last month show he's down to a mark he can be competitive from. |

9st 8lb |
AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since; encouraging enough comeback run (after 258-days off) at the Curragh a month ago, staying on late after not clear run; down to an enticing mark and could go well. |

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since although solid run in Naas Listed last year; reappears for new yard off much reduced mark (23lb below career-high) and interesting to see if new yard can exploit it. |

26th Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Good 2yo when winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, as well a second in the National Stakes; pleasing third in a Group 3 first time back and it's been Group 1s since then (1m/1m4f); absent three months but commands respect back at this level. |

Enjoyed a fine season at two, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; third to Sprewell in the 1m2f Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal debut; made little impact when dropped back to 1m in Irish 2,000 Guineas; Galileo colt out of a top-class miler by Danehill, tackles 1m4f for the first time. |

Enjoyed a fine season last year, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; ran okay in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal bow three weeks ago; back to 1m here on quicker ground is another test altogether; interesting runner but others preferred. |

Sole win came on AW in February but struggled twice since and has been off 98 days; back on his winning mark and ground is fine so can't dismiss if he's tuned up. |

Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in 7f maiden here last month but too keen back in handicap company since; return to 1m not an obvious play and others preferred. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in a 7f maiden here last Friday; previously, had often run well in defeat, in good company at times (has run in three Pattern races); 5f was too sharp here on his penultimate start; 1m should suit |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Last season's 3yo campaign was cut short in June after two disappointing Group 1 performances and he was well beaten on his reappearance in the Group 1 Lockinge a fortnight ago; needs to prove he's still the force of old but he was third in last season's 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft) and if tapping back into that ability he has a major shout today; versatile ground-wise. |

Well-bred Kingman colt who could improve from last month's reappearance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, but he finished down the field and his 2yo form also suggests he's up against it today. |

18th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Keen-going sort likes a sound surface; beat Tarawa on the round mile at the Curragh just over a year ago and, after being gelded over the winter, made winning reappearance in five-runner Group 3 over that trip here in May; penalty means he's 3lb worse off with runner-up Real Appeal; down the field over 1m2f at Royal Ascot where he probably didn't stay; not an obvious candidate for headgear but cheekpieces are fitted. |
6/1 |

14th 2 (10) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Reappeared after a gelding operation to win a 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown (good) last month but it wasn't a strong race of its type and he looks vulnerable under a 5lb penalty here; stamina is also not assured (weakened on his previous attempt at about 1m2f). |
