2nd 5 (6) |
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. |

5 (3) |
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. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
2-3 as 2yo, wins coming in a soft-ground novice at Leicester and with a strong-staying performance in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft); made a belated reappearance in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft; 11-2) one month ago and although Ancient Wisdom finished about 3l ahead, the way this 3yo kept on from off the pace gave encouragement; there's stamina and class on the dam's side. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Absent since winning the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft; Group 3) last October, taking form figures to 211; promising contender who could have plenty of further improvement in him, assuming all is well; interesting on belated reappearance. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Came from off the pace to finish a clear second in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) in July; on the strength of that he was 4-9 for 11-runner novice at Leicester (7f, soft) two months later, having to work hard but looking better the further he went and scoring in clearcut style; clear potential in those performances, including for this longer trip. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Winner of the Dee Stakes (Listed) but relegated to pacemaking duties for stablemate Delacroix in the Irish Champion Stakes most recently, eventually dropping away to finish last; seemingly set to adopt the same role, as is Devil's Advocate for Ombudsman. |
150/1 |

|
6th 5 (2) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive as 2yo and he resumed that improvement when winning the Listed Dee Stakes over Chester's extended 1m2f (on good ground) in May, passing five of his six rivals in the last 2f to get up in the nick of time; raced a bit freely that day and still looked open to improvement but he's not been seen since. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced colt who folded tamely and ended up well held (behind Jouncy) in 7f Group 3 at York most recently; sole attempt at 6f resulted in Ascot win but this is a tougher assignment; needs to improve. |
20/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
From a talented family and he built upon his debut fourth at Newmarket (7f, good) last month when making all to score by half a length in a maiden at Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; there's every chance he'll continue to improve but others have more substance to their claims. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed over 1m4f at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood last summer but returned from a gelding operation to win at Haydock (sole run at 1m6f, good to soft) in September; made a satisfactory reappearance at Epsom 15 days ago and is still lightly raced, so could have more to offer; good ground and softer would probably be better for him than good to firm. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won heavy-ground Goodwood maiden at two and it was a convincing success on last year's reappearance/handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) one year ago; disappointed at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood subsequently but had been gelded when back on the scoresheet at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September; drops in trip for this comeback but not fully exposed. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
1-3 but all out in Goodwood maiden (heavy) this time last year; won in clearcut style on handicap debut at Sandown (also 1m2f, good; made most) on his reappearance in April; up to 1m4f but didn't shine in big festivals at Ascot and Goodwood subsequently; excuses both times, however, and there's plenty in his pedigree to suggest this trip will suit even better; definitely not one to give up on. |

25/1 |

4th 8 (8) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Efforts since last summer leave plenty to be desired, including last month's Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW; first start since being gelded); however, he is 2-2 here (1m/1m1f) and 7lb lower than when last successful; worth a second look; stable also runs Sir Paul Ramsey. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Kempton novice on his return in March and he's been placed in four handicaps since, including when third of 22 at York (7f, good) on his penultimate run; never dangerous when third on AW at Lingfield last time but that was behind an improver who made all and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |
6/1 |

9 (5) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Bred for longer distances but he's a free-going sort who seems better at 7f than 1m; won a Kempton novice in March and he's been placed in three handicaps since, including when third of 22 at York (good) last time; on unchanged mark and he should make another bold bid back on AW. |

Has been gelded since his debut when finishing eighth behind top-class miler Field Of Gold in a 7f maiden at last season's July festival; returns in a hood but it's interesting that his powerful connections have stuck by him; market informative. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won a Pontefract nursery for Peter Chapple-Hyam in October 2024 (1m, soft); in good form last autumn too but he has been sent off at big prices and finished down the field in three runs for his new stable this year; could prove a different proposition back on turf, especially if the going remains on the slow side, and cheekpieces return today; check betting. |
33/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In and out for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he's finished last of nine in two runs (9.4f/1m) for new yard this year; mark continues to fall but he's now 1-13 and has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
33/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

In and out for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he ran poorly on final start for that yard in October; changed hands for 3,500gns after that and he was tailed off on recent stable debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f); record is now 1-12 and he has plenty to prove; cheekpieces worn last twice are removed. |

9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |

Didn't live up to expectations at Sandown (unplaced favourite) and Newmarket (well held) in June/July, but this looks a lesser race on return from break; the type who should do better, having cost 1,000,000gns at April breeze-up sale, and not written off. |

Both wins for Ismail Mohammed came on the AW last autumn, including one over C&D; makes his stable debut after three months off having been picked up for 25,000gns in February; usual visor now missing; market useful. |

Won over C&D and at Southwell (1m4f) in the autumn; only fourth of seven at Chelmsford (1m5f) last month but that trip is on the outer limits of his stamina and he still looks feasibly treated; dangerous back at 1m3f. |
