31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below-par results this season but he may have needed his reappearance run here and got no run in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (eased), having won that same Listed contest last year (good to firm); won the Group 2 Vintage Stakes here in his 2yo campaign in 2023; major player if at his best. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a second win at this meeting when seeing off Galen, King's Gambit and Enfjaar in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; below-par seventh on 1m2f Goodwood reappearance 25 days ago but this has presumably been the target again; the mount of James Doyle from the three Wathnan runners. |

7th 6 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has form on all types of ground; smart performer whose strong CV includes wins in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood as a 2yo and two Royal Ascot contests, more recently last year's Wolferton (1m2f Listed); best figures give him a major chance at the weights. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner as 2yo; threw away a golden opportunity in 6f Listed race at Doncaster in March when diving to his left inside the final furlong; well below par in the same grade last time and would be a surprise winner here, even if first-time blinkers give him a boost. |

6th 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 2 winner as a 2yo; threw away a winning opportunity in a Listed race at Doncaster in March (6f, good to soft) when diving to his left inside the final furlong; this is easier than this summer's earlier turf assignments but he's often slowly away and he isn't one for the faint of heart. |

7th 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2yo Group 2 in September 2023 (7f, soft); went close in Listed race on 2025 reappearance (6f, good to soft) and respectable fifth in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; however, he again looks vulnerable this afternoon. |

Listed winner at Dundalk last season and second in the Breeders; Cup Juvenile Turf; fine effort when a staying-on fourth in the Jersey Stakes; slowly away and never involved when favourite for Curragh Group 3 race in which Lord Massusus and Mutasarref; stable's second-string now |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Creditable fourth over C&D in this year's Victoria Cup but his subsequent form, comprising mostly duck eggs, reads poorly by comparison; major resurgence is required. |
66/1 |

10th 2 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Couldn't set your watch by him but he's a smart performer on his good days, as when beating 21 rivals at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November; finished fourth in the Victoria Cup here (7f, good) in May, and he is 5lb lower today, but there hasn't been much to cheer since then. |
33/1 |

19th 3 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent but he is a smart performer, as when beating his 21 rivals at Doncaster last November (6f, heavy); raced exclusively at 7f since, with mixed results, but this mark isn't beyond him and a big run could be on the cards back down in distance. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Plenty of good runs to his name this year, including placing on three of his last four starts, but his losing run is up to 26. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Plenty of good runs to his name this year but his losing run is up to 25; conditions shouldn't be an issue but more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

5th 9 (16) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He has a poor 1-26 strike-rate but seemed fine at the trip when sixth of 15 over C&D (good to firm) in July and has finished placed on both outings since (7f/7.3f, good to soft/soft); ran okay on a couple of occasions last year when these cheekpieces were last worn; he might not be far away. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Not at his best in Group 2s on his last two outings but his fourth when bidding for a second successive win in the Lennox at Goodwood in July shows this front-runner is still capable of very smart form on his day; a potential class act in Listed company. |
3/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran respectably when bidding for a second win in the Lennox (Group 2) at Goodwood but wasn't at his best last time and has lacked consistency this year; wears an undesirable badge, being the contender who has the longest losing sequence. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Ran as well as he's ever done when second in this race 12 months ago, and he was a creditable third in Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; came up short in the Vintage but has progressive form otherwise; ran well off top weight in 7f nursery at the York Ebor festival last time; has frame possibilities on ratings. |

24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Improved again when comfortably winning a 6f Ascot nursery (good) last month; not up to the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood on his first attempt at 7f but this is a more realistic assignment. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Stablemate of Array; recorded a soft-ground win (5f) in the spring; behind Haatem in major 2yo races since but wasn't disgraced in the Coventry (6f) and the 7f trip may partly excuse his Superlative and Vintage efforts; not fully exposed at sprint distances. |

1st Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Beat just two rivals at Leicester in April (5f, soft); ran quite well in the Coventry but has more than 2l to find with Haatem on that form and he was beaten appreciably further by that rival when not getting home over 7f in the Group 2 Superlative; clearly up against it unless he can find a surge of improvement from somewhere. |
