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. |

2nd 6 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Eight wins, including three in stakes races; has been regressive this year; down from an official rating of 107 in March to 88; duly took advantage of his reduced mark at Galway this week; carries 7lb penalty; however, not overburdened, and the win may have restored his confidence. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 98y |
10st 0lb |
Seven wins, including three in stakes races; has been regressive this year; down from an official rating of 107 in March to a current 88; fair fifth in the 7f Ahonoora Handicap here at the festival; mid-division in the Irish Cambridgeshire ten days ago; would feature in this company if recovering anything close to his best form. |
4/1 |
|
10th 6 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Seven wins includes in Listed and Group 3 company; has beden regressive this year but some decent efforts in defeat including in the Ahonoora Handicap at Galway last time; down 3lb but needs more. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who plundered the Lockinge and Lennox in a golden spell in 2024; winless since but had been competitive in minor Group races for current stable this year until a lesser effort in the Joel at Newmarket last week. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but he's been winless since taking out a Goodwood Group 2 six weeks later; running creditably for his new yard since May, however, including when second of seven in Leopardstown Group 2 (1m, good) in this headgear combination a fortnight ago; place claims again. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but winless since later that year; however, has run plenty of fine races in defeat since joining this yard including twice at this track lately and once at the Curragh; can be keen so a hood is added to cheekpieces today; a bit to find. |

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 |
