26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Glorious globetrotter whose Group/Grade 1 record is 7-11 and overall strike-rate is 18-26; has done his winning at a lower level this year, mostly recently in the Hardwicke (Group 2) at Royal Ascot; thoroughly admirable and had an excuse (raced closer to the strong pace than ideal) when about 5l third in this race 12 months ago but he's a 7yo now and no horse older than six has won the King George. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Globetrotter who won 1m4f Group/Grade 1 races in Dubai, Hong Kong, Germany and the US last year; not at his very best when beating Epic Poet by a head in the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup at York (good to firm) last month but that was 1m6f and he was conceding 5lb to the winner (level weights today); leading contender if at the top of his game now back down to 1m4f. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
High-class 1m4f performer with a fine strike-rate and he's been all around the world; big question is the trip as this 7yo is unraced beyond 1m4f and takes on proven stayers, but he stays that shorter trip well. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made debut last October and sole defeat among his first four runs (1m2f-1m4f, all AW) came behind Rebel Romance, who has since won two Group 1s; well-beaten fourth in Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on last month's turf debut (1m2f, good to yielding; stablemate Crypto Force third) but perhaps today's faster ground will help and he's not ruled out. |

26th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Has won three of his four starts, all on AW, notably a fine performance at Newcastle last time in winning the valuable Easter Classic Handicap under top-weight, making all; now rated a very respectable 113 but hard to know how effectively he will cope at this level on his first turf attempt. |

5-19 on AW, compared to 0-3 on turf; thrown in judged on best AW ratings, including from three starts back, but he's not beaten a rival in those three runs on turf, including last time out. |

17th Apr 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Best 2yo run was on turf here but he suffered heavy defeats at Newmarket in his only two turf races last term, admittedly absent five months in between; surged back to form on AW last October-December but last month's run was not so good; blinkers are given a go and overall improvement is needed. |

Useful colt who ended his 2023 campaign with respectable efforts in Listed grade elsewhere; 2-2 at Newcastle, including a 1l success off just 1lb lower on sole handicap attempt; interesting returned to this venue on seasonal debut. |

13th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |

Stablemate of Rebel's Romance; won the Zetland Stakes (Group 3) and placed in French Group 1, both over 1m2f, as a 2yo; creditable third to Westover in the 2022 Classic Trial at Sandown when last seen; gelded since; should be suited by this new trip and looks interesting on return to action. |

Course winner who comes here in good form, fourth of nine in 1m2f Chester handicap 16 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful mare who won three times on soft ground last year; often highly tried this year but creditable fourth back in a handicap at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) last week; reasons to think she'll run well but Stressfree is still the more appealing of the yard's pair. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Mixed form in Listed races on last three starts but she was a creditable fourth at York two runs ago (1m2f, good to firm) and she's won three of her eight handicaps (all on soft); interesting now back in a handicap. |
