1st 3 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, one over C&D; beaten a head in this race on heavy going in 2022; produced a rather disappointing show in Ascot Group 3 three weeks ago but had Listed wins over Military Academy and Mount Atlas earlier this term and holds a major chance if returning to form. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including this race in 2022; also won 1m4f Listed races on last three outings, including in a good scrap involving Military Academy at Goodwood in June and when that rival disappointed at Chester three weeks ago; all of his turf starts in the last six years have been on softer than good; back up to Group 3 but with leading form claims again and a tremendous attitude. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s over 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including two Ormondes over the extended 1m5f here; also won 1m4f Listed races at the Curragh (yielding) last November and Goodwood (soft; by a neck from Military Academy at level weights) this June, which were his last two outings; all of his turf starts in the last six years have been on softer than good, so rain may be needed. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
0-8 since his novice wins but second of seven in Group 3 at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago was his best form, dictating the pace and keeping on stoutly; this extra 1f looks manageable but he needs better still to win this. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
4th Aug 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Not disgraced in Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to soft) last month despite failing to settle; 0-7 since his novice wins but has useful C&D form, having finished fourth in the Gordon Stakes at this meeting last year. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Ran respectably in Group 3 events the last twice; creditable second in this race two years ago but faces a difficult task on ratings today and has never won above Listed level. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) this July before his respectable, front-running third of five in Group 3 at Goodwood two weeks ago; there's a stamina query (after two attempts at 1m6f in 2022) and he may well need to show his best form for nearly two years. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; has never raced on soft and not seen on good to soft since he was a bit below his best in this race in 2023; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another four weeks ago but he probably needs to return to 2023 form if he's to be competitive today. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Slow starts have become an unwelcome habit but he caught the eye keeping on for fifth of 13 behind King's Code over C&D in January, when denied a clear run; last of three at Lingfield since in a race that wasn't run to suit; each-way claims if getting the breaks. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Smart at his peak on AW but slow starts have become an unwelcome habit and he's been operating below his very best in AW handicaps this winter; would need to bounce back to his peak form to trouble an on-song Survie. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 (14) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Does well on the AW and was never ideally positioned in a steadily run race over C&D two months ago; slow breaks have become an unwelcome habit but capable of being in the shake-up granted a solid pace to chase; Alfie Redman takes off a useful 7lb. |

18th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive triple winner as a 3yo, including the Park Hill at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) last September; 0-4 this season but she went very close in a Group 3 at York in May and ran creditably in a Group 1 at Longchamp 18 days ago; has leading claims on this big drop back in class and she should take some stopping. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form in the second half of last season but she won the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) last September in a first-time hood; reappeared with creditable second under 5lb penalty in York Group 3 (1m6f, good to firm) in May and stable has won this nine times; has won over C&D and is a leading contender provided the absence of the hood isn't an issue. |

Trained in Norway; won the Swedish Derby, Norwegian Derby and Stockholm Cup International (Group 3) last year; beaten favourite on latest outing but he's a useful sort on his day and could go well. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten in Group races on his last ten starts but went close in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1m6f, good to firm) last May and he was a good third in that same Group 2 a fortnight ago (good); he should be fine back up in trip and might not be far away. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten a head in this last year, despite a highly tactical race; has held his form well (back in Dubai and Saudi Arabia this January-March) and should again be seriously involved, but to win this may require a career best. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form this year over 1m6f-2m at Meydan and in Saudi Arabia and continued the good work when staying on for a close second in a slowly run Group 2 Yorkshire Cup (1m6f, good to firm) in May; no show when 25-1 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) on latest outing but shouldn't be far away in this lesser race if there's a decent pace to aim at. |
