9st 4lb |
Close second to Kerdos in the Temple Stakes at Haydock (soft) on seasonal debut; lesser efforts in races won by Believing and Makarova since, last time under change of tactics (normally a front-runner); peak performance remains his win in last year's Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm). |

Front-runner who enjoyed an excellent campaign last year, the highlight his Group 1 Nunthorpe win at York (5f, good to firm); not quite at his best yet this season, but a close second in the Group 2 Temple at Haydock (5f, soft) was no disgrace and he stumbled leaving the stalls when a beaten favourite last time; tops the ratings and commands major respect. |

Initially raced over 6f but he found his true calling when dropped to 5f in the Group 1 King's Stand at Ascot in 2023, where he was last off the bridle and held a top-class rival at bay; unable to race as prominently in this next time (good to firm) when drawn away from the pace but still managed a good third to the front-running Live In The Dream; had a straightforward task in a Listed race at Deauville on belated return; bold show can be expected. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Still capable of classy form, having been placed in the last two runnings of the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot; however, he's on a losing run, being 0-8 since landing the Sprint Cup at Haydock in 2023; getting on and returns to action as an 8yo. |
14/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has made into a high-class, dependable sprinter and he wasn't beaten far in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; far from disgraced in another Group 1 at Deauville last time when the extended 6f possibly stretched his stamina; all his wins have come on good ground or firmer so rain could jeopardise his chance, but he's the one to beat on form in first-time blinkers. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Group 1 win over 6f in 2023; fourth, behind a couple of reopposing rivals, in this race 12 months ago; two good runs this year (Meydan/Royal Ascot) and returning to 6f no bad thing; should be in the thick of it. |

9st 9lb |
Won the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot in 2023 and 2024 and added 5.5f Grade 2 win at Keeneland last October; however, this 10yo wasn't at his best at Meydan in March on his sole run this year, and the drop back to 5f and the forecast slow ground are likely negatives. |
33/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Best on good or quicker; his trainer has done so well to keep him to such a high level over the years and he's 2-2 here (including this race in 2022) as well as winning two Group 1s at Royal Ascot, the latest only last June; however, yesterday's rain won't have been welcomed. |
20/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

C&D winner; two Group 1 wins at Royal Ascot (2023 and 2024; both 6f, good to firm); not far off his best when second in a Grade 2 in America last September; returns from 315 days off though and whether he'll retain all his ability as a 9yo is a moot point. |

An improver this year, posting a convincing Listed win at Haydock (6f, good to firm) then going very close in Chantilly Group 2 (5f, good); she's better than she showed at Sandown latest but is likely to come up short here. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten a neck in a Newbury Group 3 a fortnight ago (5f, heavy) but she had a relatively easy time of it up front, with a rail to help, and the form doesn't appeal as being reliable; penalised for a Listed win in July; others appeal more. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins this season, namely a Chester handicap (5f, soft) in May and a York Listed event (5f, good to soft) in July; she's come up shy in Group 2 and Group 1 races the last twice but conditions shouldn't be an issue and she looks the likeliest leader in this field; should go well. |
7/2 |
|
9th 13 (2) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

She's opposable on the vast majority of her form but she was a C&D 2yo Listed winner in 2021 and had something to spare in a C&D Listed race (good to soft) last month; also effective on fast ground and she could be in with an each-way squeak now back here after a lesser run at Glorious Goodwood. |

Losing run goes back nearly four years; no impact in sprint handicaps on turf at Meydan this year and makes a very belated AW debut on his return to Britain. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Something of an enigma but his ability has never been in question; hasn't managed a win since April 2022 but he ran a cracker in the Stewards' Cup, coming home in fifth but doing best of the far-side group; failed to back it up behind Northern Ticker at York four weeks ago and risky, even with Warren Fentiman taking off a useful 5lb. |
16/1 |
|
8 (11) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Competitive in Group 1s in his prime; not the force of old but his mark has dropped and he was first in the far-side group when fifth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last time; a long losing sequence is a concern but he'll be very dangerous if building on Goodwood. |

Won on debut last July (6f, good to soft) and placed in 2yo Group races the next twice (including here); respectable sixth in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and, although she failed to threaten in last month's Nunthorpe, she could be firmly involved now back down in grade. |

Went close in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes here (6f, good) last August on her second 2yo start and ran well for a long way when sixth in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; lightly raced and this first attempt at 5f may be a plus but she has plenty to find on form. |

Last season's 2yo highlight was her Group 2 Queen Mary win at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) and she reappeared with a win in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good to firm); well beaten in the King's Stand latest but she raced away from the main action; remains unexposed and not ruled out. |

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

All races have been on good or quicker ground and she has shown her best form over a bare 5f, when winning the Queen Mary at this meeting last summer and coming home with a rattle from Equilateral on return in a Group 2 at Haydock; raced on the favoured strip in the latter but has earned her place among the principals for this; good claims getting the allowances. |

Impressive last year on first two 2yo starts, winning Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on the second occasion; underwhelming favourite in the Group 2 Lowther (6f, good) in August and needs more than when second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (5.5f, firm), but she remains very lightly raced and could have more to offer now back at a bare 5f. |

9st 11lb |
Tough-hearted sprinter; more than a match for most 5f sprinters, whatever the place or ground, although speed is his weapon and he found less than Asfoora in the King Charles III at Ascot in June before gaining his revenge at Goodwood, where Asfoora ran under a penalty; slight query about whether this is absolutely his track, having run poorly in this last year and been just workmanlike against lesser rivals on return; otherwise hard to fault. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Versatile ground-wise; very productive and speedy colt whose 2yo campaign culminated in Breeders' Cup win; defied top weight in Listed grade on reappearance, then creditable third in the Royal Ascot event won by Asfoora; this return to a sharper 5f looks ideal, indeed he made all in the Molecomb at this meeting 12 months ago; respected. |

Mostly leads; handles all ground; had one off day as a 2yo, against the older sprinters at York, but otherwise carried all before him over 5f after his debut, his rivals not detaining him for long in the Windsor Castle here and he won two Group races before hanging on for a Grade 1 success in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; did all that was asked against inferior rivals on York comeback but now needs to prove his mettle back against all ages. |

Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |

Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance. |
