25th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Smart 2yo who took a while to progress as a 3yo, but ended 2023 on a high, winning a 7f Group 3 at Doncaster and Group 2 Challenge Stakes (both 7f); below best but not disgraced from bad draw in Group 2 at Riyadh in February when last seen; drop in trip and quicker ground unlikely to play to her strengths here. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time winner including Listed and Group 3 races here over 1m on good ground; not a bad effort in first handicap start since 2023 at the Curragh last time (denied a clear run) and eased 1lb for that; goes well here and firmly enters calculations upped in trip. |
12/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Ground versatile; seven-time winner (including at Group 3 and Listed level); running respectably in stakes company this term and is 2-2 in handicaps, though hasn't run in one since winning off 1lb higher at Naas in 2023; course winner interesting with rider taking off 5lb. |
11/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals. |

3rd 1 (4) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 but on a 12-race losing sequence and he ran badly on his last three starts in Dubai early this year; this is a drop in grade but he's proving increasingly hard to predict. |

13th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of notable 7f wins early in career but raced mainly at 1m since; successful three times this term and ran respectably in the Joel Stakes here most recently; not crying out for this drop back in trip; below-par third in this race two years ago. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
In top form this month, comfortably winning the Group 3 Superior Mile at Haydock (1m, good) and following up under a penalty in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft); he's a leading contender today. |
100/30 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Second in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury in May and comfortable winner of a Group 3 at Haydock on latest start; one of the leading contenders on form, even with his penalty, but he has plenty to prove on soft and peak efforts have been on good or firmer. |
9/4 |
