2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in Group 2 Royal Lodge (1m, good to firm) last September and returned to form with Listed win at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; had something to spare last time and holds leading claims. |

1st 1 (6) |
11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Listed winner over 1m last year and signed off his 2yo campaign with a second to Ghostwriter in the Group 2 Royal Lodge on the Rowley Mile (good to firm; won debut on good to soft); below that form in Group 2/3 events over 1m2f in recent months and needs a return to 1m to have a positive effect. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Flopped in the Dante at York on last month's return (1m2f, good; backed into 4-1) but trainer reported subsequently "his bloods were off"; Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good) last September then came second in the Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); could bounce back with bold show. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bred in the purple (by Sea The Stars out of a half-sister to Kingman) and looked well worth his place in the Derby after an encouraging second in the Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft); didn't give his running at all at Epsom (14-1; always in rear) but it's interesting that his trainer is happy to turn him out again just three weeks later; cheekpieces go on. |

13th 12 (8) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
By Derby winner Sea The Stars out of half-sister to top-class miler/sire Kingman; ran with credit in Listed/Group races as 2yo following a winning 7f debut in a Newmarket maiden but connections were always going to play the long game and he should benefit from a useful comeback behind the one-time Derby favourite in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft); looks the type who could come on a good deal this year and a big show is on the cards. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Sole 3yo in the field; soundly beaten in Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft) last time but before that he was a creditable third in the Group 3 Classic Trial there (1m2f, good to soft); on a fair mark on best form and his trainer has a good record in this race; not ruled out in first-time tongue-tie. |

23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Solid record, having produced form figures of 2133, most recently third in the Classic Trial here (1m2f, good to soft); likely to cope with return to 1m; another good run looks on the cards. |

13th Oct 2024 Yielding 2m 0f 23y |
9st 9lb |
Second of three runners for yard; 3yo colt is closely matched with stablemate Chemistry; won a Listed at Leopardstown in June (1m4f, good); not a bad effort in a Group 3 at Newmarket on latest (1m5f, good to soft); didn't look like he was crying out for this sort of trip though and not bred for it either; well-drawn but others preferred. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has raced ten times and is more exposed than his rivals, but it was his first crack at 1m4f when keeping on well for a narrow Listed win at Leopardstown last month (good) and 1m2f looked inadequate at Royal Ascot most recently; versatile ground-wise; not discounted now up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fourth in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) before Listed win at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); that was his ninth race and others are less exposed and have stronger form, but he's the sole runner for Aidan O'Brien who has won two of the last six runnings, so is worth a second look. |

Went close in sole AW attempt; heavy-ground success in September confirmed that she seems a mudlark on turf; raced too freely last time; even if she settles better, this is a tough assignment. |

Found it tough in May/June but her sights have been lowered and she won an eight-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) two weeks ago from Arkhalia Flynn; 7lb higher today but that win came in dominant fashion. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |
13/2 |

2nd 23 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful hurdler at about 2m and ran creditably (lost two places close home; finished fourth) in the Fred Winter at this meeting 12 months ago; bagged a valuable pot at Windsor (soft) in January but form dipped last time; goes into unknown territory over this longer distance. |
33/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
5yo who races prominently and has been progressive this season in some competitive handicaps, finishing second at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December and winning at Windsor (2m, soft) last month; up 5lb for last time but he did it nicely and could continue to improve; respected. |
