16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Disappointing in last year's Dante and Derby but subsequently showed very smart form back down in trip, including placed efforts in three top-level races over 1m, third to Notable Speech at the Breeders' Cup (firm) the final time; took advantage of a good opportunity in Leopardstown Listed event on reappearance; possibilities back up in class, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

Impressed in a Curragh maiden and the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at two; failed to win in a high-profile campaign last year; flopped in the Dante and the Derby; redeemed himself with smart placed form in 1m Gr 1s at Longchamp/Ascot and in the Breeders' Cup Mile; never threatened in Hong Kong Mile; easy ground a worry, though he ran well on soft in the Prix Jean Prat. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Admirably consistent in defeat in Group races last year before winning the Grade 3 Nashville Derby at Kentucky (10.5f, firm) last August; well beaten in the Breeders' Cup Turf next time; has an each-way shout if fully tuned up for this reappearance outing. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Royal Lodge winner last term and holding his form well in a busy 2025 campaign, most recently second in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; Group 2) against his elders; ties in with Galveston on Royal Ascot running in cheekpieces (reapplied today); solid. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Won the Group 2 Royal Lodge (1m, soft) last September and has run well in defeat this season, including in the 2,000 Guineas and the Dante; respectable fourth when upped to 1m4f in the Group 2 King Edward VII at Royal Ascot (good to firm) three weeks ago and benefits from very handy 3yo allowance now taking on older horses for the first time; might not be far away. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Landed the 2,000 Guineas, albeit having got first run on the somewhat unlucky Field Of Gold, then was trained for the Derby but missed that Classic as the ground was deemed not fast enough (has raced only on good/firmer); tackling 1m at Royal Ascot backfired as his speed looked blunted after being geared up for 1m4f at Epsom; definitely ready for this step up in distance and he was very progressive prior to last time. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Justify colt who was a 2,300,000euros breeze-up purchase as a 2yo; raced only on good/firmer and was a late withdrawal from the Derby this month as the surface was deemed not fast enough; record of 3-4 includes two emphatic wins; held on by half a length from Field Of Gold in the 2,000 Guineas most recently, having got first run on that rival; improving sharply and, with his ceiling probably not yet reached, commands major respect in the rematch. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |

Group 3 win last season didn't help his handicap mark and this season is turning into a struggle, with this headgear combination tried last time at Chester. |

5th 7 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won 7f 2yo Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket last September; well handicapped on that form but he's found it difficult to get competitive this season, most recently well beaten at 40-1 in 7f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

15th 1 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful last term, the highlight a Group 3 win at Newmarket (7f, soft); has much weaker claims on 2025 form and still needs to prove he's trained on; admittedly may derive some benefit from the switch to a handicap. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won a nursery here at last year's Glorious meeting (7f, good to firm) and back on the scoresheet at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in August; fifth of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) since and this 3yo could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; unraced on slow ground. |
10/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Proved resurgent with success on the July course (1m, good to firm) last time, albeit off 3lb lower and with rider taking off 5lb; this looks a harder task but he's had a light campaign and may have more to offer. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field (beaten 8l) in the Britannia on his only previous attempt at 1m; this season's form figures are a tad misleading as he's not been running badly, including last time in a deep 7f handicap at Goodwood; only 4lb higher than for his nursery win and Jack Dace takes off 5lb; could be interesting. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 3yo whose best effort by some way came when second in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in April; that form has worked out well, with winner Big Mojo landing last week's Sprint Cup and third-placed Ain't Nobody taking second in the Nunthorpe, and he had an excuse (finished lame) when down the field in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup on his only subsequent outing; has since changed trainers (same ownership and stable); may still be unexposed. |
14/1 |
|
6 (3) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fourth in Group 3 Greenham (7f, good) and improved again to keep on for close second in Group 3 Trial over C&D (good to firm); had the benefit of race fitness in the latter, unlike Big Mojo (first) and Ain't Nobody (third), but should finish to good effect in this big field; a visor goes on; each-way possible. |
66/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
30th Apr 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has run four times and won novice races at Redcar (6f, good to firm) and at Lingfield (6f, AW; last month); hasn't run badly in Group 3s on his other two outings, the latest in the Greenham (7f) this month, but it's likely he'll need to take a sizeable step forward today. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Similar type to Native Warrior, with record 1-9, but has less going for him in terms of overall form; has failed to back up his AW Group 3 effort and performed below market expectations in Chester handicap most recently. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Faced a tough task as the only 3yo against elders in a Listed race at Salisbury last time and contested three Group races last season after his maiden win; sights are now lowered on handicap debut with a visor (in which he ran well once last season) back on; has only once tried 7f but should stay on pedigree. |

Fast-ground maiden win at Glorious Goodwood last summer; improved for the addition of a visor when finishing second of ten in an AW Group 3 last September; less good twice since and he's opposable on balance. |

Useful 2yo, including a 1m AW win; good second in a local Group 2 in Qatar in February and followed that with a Listed second at Lingfield two weeks later (both 7f); back up to 1m for his handicap debut; unexposed but has an eight-month break to overcome. |

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. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

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. |
