16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 3-6 in his progressive 2yo campaign featured a Grade 1 success in Canada (1m, firm); good fourth at the Breeders' Cup and ties in with Aomori City on that effort; strong contender back on home soil. |

9st 3lb |
Doncaster winner second time out; behind the smart Al Qudra on debut but got closer to that same horse in an Ascot Listed race last time (7f, good to firm) when the winner dictated up front; he sets the standard. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
7f winner at Goodwood on reappearance and far from discredited from an unfavourable draw when upped to 1m at Royal Ascot next time; just 6-1 for a 16-runner 7f handicap back at Goodwood two weeks ago, never remotely a threat but he was messed around in the closing stages; cheekpieces go on. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to encounter ground softer than good; far from discredited from unfavourable draw upped to 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last time; progressive over 7f otherwise and registered a C&D success, narrowly beating a hat-trick seeker, in his only other start this season; remains of interest. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Looked a work in progress last season before doing it easily in a 7f AW novice in September; gelded afterwards and was noticeably strong in the market when making a successful handicap debut at Goodwood (good), where he needed all of the 7f to seal the deal; 5lb higher but this extra furlong could make a huge difference to him; one of three runners for Ralph Beckett who took this race in 2019. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Very progressive until having plausible excuses in the Sussex Stakes (found to be lame) and QEII (draw to some extent) in last two appearances; impressive wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes make him the one to beat, provided he's back in similar form. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing 1-3 favourite in messy running of the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July but was found to be lame; prior to that he achieved superstar status when easily winning the St James's Palace Stakes here (1m, good to firm; round course), having also impressed in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) previously; he'll be extremely tough to beat if back to his best. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran creditably on soft ground in French contest once, raced on good/firmer otherwise; has followed a very similar path to his brilliant sire Kingman, who won this prize 11 years ago; looked a shade unlucky in the 2,000 Guineas, then gained compensation in the Irish equivalent and was again impressive in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot where he recorded an RPR that surpasses his dad's peak figure; outstanding 3yo and emerging star who sets a tall standard. |

17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Trained by Sir Michael Stoute when making a successful nursery debut over C&D (first-time visor) last October; well held in both starts on turf since returning in April (had been gelded), but interesting back here. |

23rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Disappointing on reappearance and his best performance remains sole AW attempt, namely Southwell success on final start for Sir Michael Stoute; bit to prove. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made it four wins from six starts when landing a Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April; won on good and soft ground in 2yo campaign; further improvement is needed today but he's in good hands to continue to progress and his dam was a 1m2f Listed winner; not ruled out now up in trip. |

Progressive gelding who took well to AW in Kempton conditions race (1m) on reappearance, adding to his 2yo turf wins and taking record to 3-5; his best sibling won this contest in 2021; respected. |

0-7; beaten 3l when third of four at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April but he failed to build on that back on turf at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) 63 days ago; better needed. |
