23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent in the market for last year's Epsom Derby after winning the Sandown Classic Trial (1m2f, good to soft), but not seen again until Meydan in March this year; hasn't really threatened in four Group races since returning and ran particularly poorly at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is a drop in grade but he still has plenty to prove; entered in the Irish St Leger. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made it four wins from first five starts when impressive in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft; won twice on soft as 2yo) last April; missed the rest of 2024 and has not sparked in the same way in his three outings this season, gelded before latest; mixed messages but returning to softer ground today could be a big plus point. |

9st 8lb |
Made it four wins from first five starts when impressive in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) last term; missed the rest of 2024 and wasn't at the top of his game on either run this spring; something to prove but gelded since last time which could help him tap back into his earlier promise; two wins on good ground, unraced on faster; interesting. |

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bred in the purple (by Sea The Stars out of a half-sister to Kingman) and looked well worth his place in the Derby after an encouraging second in the Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft); didn't give his running at all at Epsom (14-1; always in rear) but it's interesting that his trainer is happy to turn him out again just three weeks later; cheekpieces go on. |
25/1 |

13th 12 (8) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
By Derby winner Sea The Stars out of half-sister to top-class miler/sire Kingman; ran with credit in Listed/Group races as 2yo following a winning 7f debut in a Newmarket maiden but connections were always going to play the long game and he should benefit from a useful comeback behind the one-time Derby favourite in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft); looks the type who could come on a good deal this year and a big show is on the cards. |

13th Oct 2024 Yielding 2m 0f 23y |
9st 9lb |
Second of three runners for yard; 3yo colt is closely matched with stablemate Chemistry; won a Listed at Leopardstown in June (1m4f, good); not a bad effort in a Group 3 at Newmarket on latest (1m5f, good to soft); didn't look like he was crying out for this sort of trip though and not bred for it either; well-drawn but others preferred. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has raced ten times and is more exposed than his rivals, but it was his first crack at 1m4f when keeping on well for a narrow Listed win at Leopardstown last month (good) and 1m2f looked inadequate at Royal Ascot most recently; versatile ground-wise; not discounted now up in trip. |
15/2 |

8th 8 (6) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fourth in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) before Listed win at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); that was his ninth race and others are less exposed and have stronger form, but he's the sole runner for Aidan O'Brien who has won two of the last six runnings, so is worth a second look. |

Promise to begin with for former and current yard; might find things happening too quickly running over a trip this short for the first time; back from a break. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has never lived up to his debut win (1m2f, AW in 2023); second at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on worse) last month on stable debut and not disgraced at Yarmouth last time, but others have more pressing claims. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

Beat the subsequent Derby and St Leger fourth when making a winning debut at Chelmsford just under two years ago; lightly raced and failed to progress thereafter; left Michael Bell since last run (remains in same ownership) in March; market should help on this debut for the Moores. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Sole 3yo in the field; soundly beaten in Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft) last time but before that he was a creditable third in the Group 3 Classic Trial there (1m2f, good to soft); on a fair mark on best form and his trainer has a good record in this race; not ruled out in first-time tongue-tie. |

Solid record, having produced form figures of 2133, most recently third in the Classic Trial here (1m2f, good to soft); likely to cope with return to 1m; another good run looks on the cards. |

Ended a long losing run at Lingfield (1m2f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there the following month; considered. |

4th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He had been badly out of sorts prior to popping up at 80-1 in a C&D handicap four weeks ago; still has handicapping scope up 3lb but it remains to be seen if he can back that effort up. |
5/1 |

1st 9 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

His mark continues to tumble but he isn't giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage, failing to beat a rival on all three AW starts this winter. |
