16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since the 2024 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket but runner-up in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft; beaten a neck) and Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, soft) last autumn; below-form 5l third in 1m4f Kempton Listed race (AW debut) in December when last seen; wears first-time cheekpieces; Buick seemingly prefers Arabian Light. |

2nd 2 (6) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Group 1 Futurity winner (on heavy ground) on this weekend as a 2yo; smart form on his day in a mixed record since, this season's plus points being his close second to Al Aasy in April and the narrow defeat when finishing strongly in Listed race at Goodwood last time (first run as a gelding); they were over 1m2f but last season's best efforts were at 1m4f and 1m5f; player if this is another of his good days. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 1 winner (on heavy ground) as a 2yo; fell short of Classic standard last term but bagged Group 3 honours and ran well at that level on penultimate start (1m2f, good; at Sandown); gelded since facing a stiffer task in the Coronation Cup; leading player on ratings. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Building up a useful CV and his comfortable all-the-way Group 3 win at the Curragh (1m2f, good/yielding) last month was a personal best; galloped on strongly that day and should stay this extra 2f; another plausible candidate for Aidan O'Brien. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
It's been some fall from grace since he finished placed in two Derbys as a 3yo, with his only subsequent win coming over hurdles; very opposable. |
33/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in the Derby in 2024 but nothing like the same force now; after a stint over hurdles he was comfortably beaten in a handicap at Royal Ascot last month; hard to fancy. |
66/1 |
|
8th 2 (12) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His second in the 2024 Derby is feeling pretty distant now and on latest outing he was second of four in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham; hooded throughout that hurdles campaign and sometimes on Flat, but that is now replaced by cheekpieces; this is also his first ever Flat handicap. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runs; without a success since landing a Group 3 as a 2yo; however, he has posted some good placed efforts and ran well when sixth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; has been dropped another pound and has to be considered. |
5/1 |
|
6th 14 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
He's on a long losing run and can be inconsistent, but this front-runner was third of 22 over C&D (good) in May and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 20 over C&D (good) last time; each-way possibilities from low draw. |
16/1 |
|
7th 17 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Smart earlier in career; yet to win for this yard but gave it a good shot from the front when third over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting and bounced back from a lesser effort over 6f here when third (Inspired fourth) of 14 at Wetherby (good to firm; made running again) last week; each-way claims again. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 13 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Infrequent winner but is 2-4 on Tapeta, his latest win coming from 3lb lower at Newcastle (1m2f) last September; could go well at a price. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
An infrequent winner but he's run many good races on this track to go with his 7f win in late 2024; another sound effort when going close over this C&D on Wednesday and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sits on last winning mark (Ayr, 1m) and has held his form well, finding one stronger in three of his last four, including when picked off inside the final furlong at Doncaster (7f; 11-1) recently; is a modest 1-22 on AW. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 13 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a losing sequence at Ayr (1m) in May and largely in good nick since, sixth of ten in 1m handicap at Hamilton two weeks ago; no forlorn hope eased 1lb. |
