1m2f Listed race here (good to firm) last May was the last leg in a four-timer; no joy in his seven races since but he was pipped in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, good) on latest, form which gives him a big chance. |

Won a 1m2f Goodwood Listed (good to firm) last May and also placed in 1m4f Newmarket Group 3 (heavy) on final 4-y-o start; below that level in his two outings this year, though he suffered interference when 7l fifth of sixth in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f) latest. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this. |

Really smart Flat campaigner although he was susceptible to the odd aberration; in fine form as recently as last April, when just denied in valuable 1m6f Musselburgh handicap, but last two starts for Karl Burke showed the other side of his coin and left that yard for 21,000gns in November; still rates a fascinating hurdles debutant with the market potentially offering significant clues. |

Raced mostly on good/firmer; solid 2022 campaign featured a C&D second, Great Voltigeur win and fourth in the Melbourne Cup; unable to repeat that form during a light 2023 season and below-form fourth in Group 3 at Chester with first-time blinkers on 2024 reappearance; sights are lowered. |

Came from the rear to win Listed race at York (1m2f, good to firm) in July; slowly away and never figured in US Grade 2 (1m3f) six weeks ago but she was an outsider that day and probably ran well; now needs better again. |

Beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in Listed race at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) in May; stretched by 1m4f at Newmarket subsequently; she might not be far away now back down in distance. |

9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Raced mostly on good/firmer but ran well on soft once in France; broke a losing sequence when dropping from Group races to a five-runner Listed event at Newmarket (1m4f) seven weeks ago on latest outing; has proven stamina and plenty of form that would see him seriously involved. |

1st 3 (2) |
1st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced mostly on good/firmer; losing spell goes back to his Queen's Vase success two years ago but he has shown smart form on occasions since, including in Group races at Meydan this year; has the advantage of recent match practice, unlike Al Aasy and stablemate New London; runner-up in this race 12 months ago; can't be dismissed. |
