Made it 3-3 in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes here 12 months ago; pulled hard when fourth in soft-ground Cheveley Park; won Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f, good) on second start this season; flopped in the Commonwealth Cup when much too free; could bounce back. |

8st 13lb |
Made it 3-3 in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) last August then pulled hard when fourth in soft-ground Cheveley Park; back to winning ways in Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f, good) last month, and impressed even though runner-up Whistlejacket was below par; one to consider. |

Won her first three starts, including the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes and the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes, beating Whistlejacket on the latter occasion; winning run came to an end on soft ground behind Lake Victoria at Newmarket in the Cheveley Park; failed to cope with a 5lb penalty at Cork on return; should be close to peak fitness now. |

9st 5lb |
Won the July Stakes and Prix Morny last season; 6f Listed winner on reappearance; no luck in running on his way to sixth-place finish in the Commonwealth Cup; slowly away and never looked like making an impression in the July Cup; blinkered for the first time. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Busy 2yo campaign featured wins in the July Stakes (at this meeting) and Prix Morny; collared stablemate Ides Of March in Listed grade on reappearance and met traffic issues on his way to sixth-place finish in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot most recently; the forecast ground perhaps isn't ideal (0-5 on good/firmer) but otherwise he has possibilities for top trainer who has landed this prize five times, mostly with 3yos. |

3-8 in 2yo campaign, highlight his Group 1 Prix Morny win at Deauville (6f, good to soft) in August; ran well on fast ground at this meeting; returned with Listed win at Navan (6f, soft) and, while he was no match for Babouche when second in Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f, good) latest, Ryan Moore reported that the colt banged his head on the gates; could give good account. |

9st 5lb |
Very experienced for his age; winner of six of his 16 starts and placed eight times; strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a C&D Group 2 in July; faded in the final quarter-mile of the Nunthorpe; could bounce back and helps to give the stable a strong hand, with Bucanero Fuerte also in the mix. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Often leads; has had plenty of racing for his tender years but he's tough and reliable and his first 5f run of the year saw him achieve strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a Group 2 at the Curragh (good; acts well on firm) in July; still has potential over 5f. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Front running 3yo is a two-time Group 3 winner at 5.5f-6f; narrowly denied in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November on his last start over 5f (firm); touched off in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month (6f, gd-fm); right in the mix on official ratings and a bold bid looks likely. |

9st 3lb |
Useful efforts when second in Group 2 Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) and fourth in Group 1 Phoenix at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) in the summer; gelded since a poor run in Listed race at Ripon in a first-time visor (discarded) at the end of August; bang there if back to his best but there have to be doubts after Ripon and James Doyle prefers Diego Ventura. |

9st 5lb |
Made a winning start in 5f York novice then advanced his form when runner-up in the Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly and fourth in Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (cheekpieces on) on his last two outings; visor goes on now and he holds good form claims. |
