Missed 2025; last two performances, namely success at Meydan (handicap) and third at Longchamp (Listed), show that he retains plenty of ability; however, has something to find back on home soil. |

Stepping up to 1m2f worked a treat at the Newmarket July festival (good; 6lb higher today) and he wasn't disgraced when attempting a Listed race in France on latest outing; 3yo who could still have more to give. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran twice on Kempton AW last autumn, on second occasion winning a maiden over 1m; 9-2, much better form when close third of seven in Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f, good) seven weeks ago, despite racing rather freely and having to wait for room; better still is needed but he is unexposed and that was a promising reappearance. |

Ran twice on Kempton AW last autumn, on second occasion 5-4 favourite and always front rank when getting the better of a good duel for ten-runner maiden over 1m; needs markedly better in this but he looked sure to stay further that day. |

Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year. |

8st 4lb |
On the premises this season in his two handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and one at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); half-brother to smart Sumo Sam, who flourished over 1m6f last season, and there are notable stayers in the family, which boosts his interest substantially. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Below form last July on soft on final 2yo start, his sole run on softer than good; wore blinkers on both outings as 3yo, winning a maiden at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; came from off the pace in the latter and strode clear in good style, so he remains one to take seriously despite 9lb rise. |

Took well to first-time blinkers in Wolverhampton maiden in April (9.5f, AW; sole run this year); may have more to offer in the retained headgear and looks well treated on peak 2yo effort (very strong form); interesting on handicap debut. |

9st 7lb |
Sole win at 1m on Polytrack; close third over the extended 1m1f on Tapeta last time but has more to prove at 1m2f on turf, even if this is a better fit than the Class 2 he ran in at Newmarket in July or even the 1m1f on Sandown's stiff finish in June; still has a gap in his record, though. |

Unplaced all three times since a successful handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in March, but close behind Mr Monaco when front-running fourth of seven at Sandown (1m1f, good to firm) on latest outing; visored in the latter and today; withdrawn last Saturday when the ground was soft (tried heavy as 2yo) which is a worry. |

9st 1lb |
Better since switched to turf (good ground last three starts) and upped to this trip, on last two occasions winning easily at Chester and by a neck with late bid over C&D; raised another 8lb, which demands plenty more again, but may have more to give. |

185,000euros yearling; shaped with some promise in novice events but he found improvement upped to 1m2f on handicap debut when going close at Newmarket (good) last month; up 2lb but that latest form has been boosted by the winner since and he has plenty of scope for further progress; big player. |

9st 12lb |
His brother Cross Counter won the 2m Melbourne Cup; never posed the slightest threat when upped to 1m6f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time but he was drawn wide and ran on late from the rear into seventh of 16, recording his best RPR; this race is a bit less competitive and his previous success has come when ridden much more prominently. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Weakened when upped to 1m4f at Meydan in February last time, so stamina is a doubt; however, this lightly raced 4yo was progressive over 1m2f previously (good to firm/good to soft) and his brother Cross Counter won the 2m Melbourne Cup for his top connections; retains potential; interesting. |

8st 8lb |
Runner-up in a C&D novice (good) before going one better at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); there's stamina in the family but she managed only fourth of five on handicap debut over 1m4f at Newmarket and tailed off when making the running back at 1m2f there on latest start; needs to reverse the slide. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
First three starts were 1m2f, runner-up at Chelmsford (AW) and Goodwood (good) before going one better in a novice back at Chelmsford; there's stamina in the family, so 1m4f for handicap debut here 13 days ago looked interesting but she managed just fourth of five (good to firm) and major overall improvement is needed; stable has superb record in this race. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (6) |
29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |

All three starts have been 1m2f; second at Chelmsford (AW) and Goodwood (good) before going one better in a novice back at Chelmsford; there's stamina in the family and 1m4f for this handicap debut looks interesting. |
