26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Smart on his day and his third at Wolverhampton (6f) last July saw him record an RPR of 115; down the field in two runs for Mick Appleby this year and he now drops to 5f for the first time in his career; tongue tied for the first time. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a 7f Listed race here (good to soft) for Andrew Balding in 2024; still capable of smart performances for Marco Botti last year but wasn't at his best on final two starts, including in a course seller; sold for 45,000gns in October; a Group 1 entry at Royal Ascot suggests new connections are hopeful he retains all his ability. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent in the main and versatile ground-wise, she gained a deserved big prize in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (8.5f; against fillies and mares) at Epsom in June; however, she's been beaten on her three starts since and her limitations are again likely to be exposed this afternoon. |

sweating, pressed leader, lost second over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong |

2nd 1 (3) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable. |
33/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he showed spark in Dubai this winter and ran big races on his two previous visits to York; returns to a handy on a fair mark and could have an each-way shout. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Now 5lb lower than for his 1m win here in January and there have been excuses for several of his defeats since; plausible outsider. |
20/1 |

19th 30 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Defied a 5lb higher mark in the 7f handicap at this meeting three years ago and scored over 1m on AW in January; has lost his form, most recently finishing last in the Newbury event won by Classic; further Royal Ascot glory looks unlikely. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Ran poorly on his reappearance at Salisbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; best efforts give him a squeak and he is effective on AW but others appeal more for win purposes. |

9th 8 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful in France for Andre Fabre last year and made a solid start for his new yard in the spring, when winning at this level at Epsom; found the drop to 6f, faster ground and step up to Group 1 company beyond him at Royal Ascot and should do much better tonight under a small penalty. |
5/1 |

7th 2 (15) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful as a 2yo in France for Andre Fabre; took his form to a much higher level when making winning start for new yard in Listed race at Epsom (7f, good to soft; unraced on good or firmer) three weeks ago, the first two pulling 9l clear; races freely and should be at least as effective back at 6f; hard to pin down but the Epsom run suggests he's smart and he's one to consider. |
20/1 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
31st May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced four times in these colours for Andre Fabre, winning on debut before contesting two Group 3s and a Group 1 (all at 7f); could do with bucking the habit of starting slowly (as was the case in his last two runs) but a repeat of his second at Longchamp (good to soft) wouldn't see him far away at this level; lacking a run may count against him. |
8/1 |
