9st 6lb |
Won the Group 2 Summer Mile (good) on the round course here last term and he's bagged Listed and Group 3 races in France this season (1m, soft); went very close in Longchamp Group 2 (1m, very soft) a fortnight ago; however, his Group 1 form-figures read 4506 and others are preferred. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual winner over 1m at Ascot (Listed and Group 2); made all at Longchamp (Listed) on seasonal debut, taking record to 5-7; the two defeats came at the top level last term, running creditably in the Marois then below par in soft-ground QEII; has something to find in this field but may still rate higher, being lightly raced and well bred (both parents won Group 1 races). |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June; Ascot brings out the best in him but he's run well in defeat in Group 1s elsewhere since that last win, finishing fourth in the Prix Jacques le Marois in August (good to soft) and the Hong Kong Mile in December when last seen; drops back in grade today and he'll be tough to beat if close to his best. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Excels over this C&D, finishing second in last year's Queen Anne (good to firm) and going one better in that same Group 1 (good to firm) this June; his close fourth in the Group 1 Jacques Le Marois in August was his best non-Ascot career performance and he could play a leading role back here. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Versatile as regards ground; has produced his top four RPRs at Ascot and reached a new peak in steadily run Queen Anne most recently, taking overall record there to 1132221 and managing to beat Rosallion narrowly despite rider dropping whip; back elsewhere he's no certainty to repeat the form, as sole Goodwood effort (below par) attests. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 4-13 on AW and 3-4 at Kempton; below par returned to this sphere ten weeks ago and losing run is mounting up but a revival would put him in the picture; 1lb below last winning mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Things didn't pan out his way on first crack at 1m4f here last time (AW) and that was another in-form effort; has found his level again but wants a good test over this trip, he hasn't won in a long time and has become inconsistent on turf. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last three goes on the AW (7f-9.5f), but losing run up to 22 and has never attempted this far before; others safer. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has gone close recently and was only beaten half a length at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago but is without a win since landing a Group 3 for the Gosdens three years ago; looks sure to be thereabouts once again. |
