17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
4l third in this last year (good) and made Group 1 breakthrough in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good) in May; cruelly denied in final stride in the Group 1 International at York (10.2f, good) in August before respectable fourth in the Irish Champion at Leopardstown (1m2f, good); clearly a class act but he'll probably struggle to cope with Calandagan and Ombudsman if they're firing on all cylinders; fast ground would be a worry. |
15/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
5yo who showed career-best form to win the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good) in May on his reappearance; beaten just over 7l by Ombudsman when fourth in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f) where the fast ground may not have been ideal; today's surface is unlikely to be so quick and he's not ruled out each-way. |

4th 1 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Last season concluded with fine third in the Champion Stakes over C&D (good; about 2l behind runner-up Ombudsman) and this 5yo looked better than ever when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good) on his reappearance, with subsequent Coronation Cup winner Bay City Roller 2l back in second and a disappointing Minnie Hauk in fifth; today's company is even hotter but he might not be far away if the fast ground isn't an issue. |

1st 1 (7) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Closest to Minnie Hauk on ratings, although that rival has the benefit of race-fitness and a fillies allowance; made all to beat subsequent three-time Group 1 winner Ombudsman at Sandown (1m2f, good) last season but had the benefit of a run; good placed efforts in Group 2s at York (10.5f, good) and Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft); signed off last term with a cracking run to take third in a Group 1 at Ascot on Champions Day (1m2f, good); there is likely more to come to this term from the British raider. |
