27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 winner in each of his four seasons of racing, most recently in the Coronation Cup at Epsom (good to soft) where he received an astute front-running ride to record a first success over 1m4f; tactically versatile but couldn't quite sustain his effort in this contest last year (finished 8l fourth); yard's number one is Auguste Rodin. |

1st 3 (3) |
31st May 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on soft going; has failed to shine in the Middle East this year; otherwise capable of high-class form at about 1m2f, namely two wins and three seconds in Group 1 events; probably hit the front too soon on last attempt over 1m4f and may yet show he's fully effective at this trip; has the ability to take a serious hand. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
10yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including at Newbury in October when last seen; has been kept to ground softer than good for a long time; kicked off that 2025 campaign with a win in this race and this star has good chance to repeat the dose. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, one over C&D; beaten a head in this race on heavy going in 2022; produced a rather disappointing show in Ascot Group 3 three weeks ago but had Listed wins over Military Academy and Mount Atlas earlier this term and holds a major chance if returning to form. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including this race in 2022; also won 1m4f Listed races on last three outings, including in a good scrap involving Military Academy at Goodwood in June and when that rival disappointed at Chester three weeks ago; all of his turf starts in the last six years have been on softer than good; back up to Group 3 but with leading form claims again and a tremendous attitude. |

31st May 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Smart French colt who seemed to need his reappearance run; close third in the Ganay (10.5f, very soft) later in April, faring best of the hold-up runners and shaping as if this step back up in distance will suit; won last year's Grand Prix de Paris over 1m4f and looks poised to repeat that sort of form; interesting on first assignment away from home soil. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won at York in 2022; registered one Group 1 win that year and one (1m4f, good to firm) in 2023, with two close calls and she had another of those in the Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f) this June, collared near the finish having kicked for home over 2f out; again raced wide in the Nassau at Goodwood last time but did not settle so well and found little from over 1f out; the clear form pick, judged on 2024 even, but she's been at that level only once this season. |

6th 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Two Group 1 wins; acts on good to firm; inconsistent in her last four races but went close in the Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f, yielding to soft) latest, collared near the finish having kicked for home a bit too soon in hindsight; leading player provided she remains in similar form. |

took keen hold, midfield early, went second from 6f out, joined leader over 4f out, led going okay over 2f out, ridden and 3 lengths ahead over 1f out, reduced lead and idled inside final furlong, headed towards finish |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Raced freely when below-form seventh in this race last year (5-1); tongue tied first time when back to her best on soft ground three weeks ago, winning in good style for the second year running in 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket; each-way claims if she backs it up this time round. |

1st 4 (4) |
27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form last September, winning a Listed event in France (1m4f, good to soft) followed by this Group 3 (good to firm) and the latter form would give her an excellent chance today; it has not been repeated this term but two of her three results (all higher level) were respectable, so she's still firmly in the picture; tongue tied first time. |
