9st 13lb |
Initially raced over 6f but he found his true calling when dropped to 5f in the Group 1 King's Stand at Ascot in 2023, where he was last off the bridle and held a top-class rival at bay; unable to race as prominently in this next time (good to firm) when drawn away from the pace but still managed a good third to the front-running Live In The Dream; had a straightforward task in a Listed race at Deauville on belated return; bold show can be expected. |

9st 5lb |
In foal to Frankel; sold to new owners for 3,000,000gns last December and broke her Group 1 duck with Meydan success (6f) on reappearance; didn't live up to market expectations returned to 5f at Royal Ascot, albeit not ideally drawn; normally consistent and made the frame in several top sprints prior to her Dubai performance; likely to rebound. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Very reliable mare who stood a tough 2024 season with fortitude, regularly on the premises in the top sprints, including when fourth, having every chance, in this one (the first of two runs at the meeting); she achieved more when going down only narrowly from a poor draw in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (5f, good to firm) in August; sold for 3,000,000gns in December; returned to action with a Group 1 win at Meydan (6f) in April and she looks set for another big run at the top level. |

9st 7lb |
Top-class form when third in Group 1 Nunthorpe at York and when winning Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, both in 2024; rusty on last year's reappearance but showed he retains plenty of ability when fourth of 20 in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot on only subsequent outing; leading claims if showing his best after layoff, although that's not guaranteed. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Dabbles at both sprint trips but 5f on fast ground suits him well as he showed both when finishing an excellent third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) in August and for his win in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar (firm) in November; should come on plenty for last month's reappearance and the weather has been kind. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Two wins at York (5f, good to soft) last year before fine third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe there (5f, good to firm) and he won the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (5f, firm) in November; lacks a recent run and carries a 5lb penalty but holds leading claims if returning at the top of his game. |

9st 8lb |
Carries a 5lb penalty today and she was down the field on her comeback at Newmarket three weeks ago; however, she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect having won two 5f Group 1s last season, namely the Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) and the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp (very soft). |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Superb Australian 7yo who has had a career to be proud of, with multiple wins in home country and Europe, laying down the law in the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot in 2024 and adding further top-level wins in the Nunthorpe (good to firm) at York and the Abbaye (very soft) at Longchamp in 2025; has stayed in Britain over the winter but connections expect her to improve for the run and that the stiff uphill finish will test her. |

Top-class Australian mare, highly durable, winner of 11 of her 27 races; landed the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot last year; could only dead-heat for fifth in this season's edition and was well below best at Goodwood (She's Quality, second); returned to form with a vengeance when taking the Nunthorpe in emphatic; sets the standard; two wins on soft in 2023. |

Sprinter from the Czech Republic; multiple wins in Europe, most recently in a Group 2 at Chantilly (5f, heavy; has won on good) in June, but he dropped out after making the running in the Group 2 King George at Goodwood and his task is harder today. |

Close third in Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock 12 months ago and made most to win Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) last summer; well below par all four starts since (short of room in Newmarket Group 3 on latest) but down in grade here and may well bounce back. |

8th 9 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Can lead; won 6f Group 3 here in 2024 but a beaten favourite in this race last year and sole success in 2025 came in a Listed York race (5f, good to firm); below best on recent comeback and a win looks unlikely. |

Campaigned mostly over 5f last year, bagging Listed honours at York in July prior to facing stiffer tasks returned to Group 1 level; effective at 6f in the past and produced his peak RPR when landing this prize (on good ground) in 2024; not ruled out. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Tough-hearted sprinter; more than a match for most 5f sprinters, whatever the place or ground, although speed is his weapon and he found less than Asfoora in the King Charles III at Ascot in June before gaining his revenge at Goodwood, where Asfoora ran under a penalty; slight query about whether this is absolutely his track, having run poorly in this last year and been just workmanlike against lesser rivals on return; otherwise hard to fault. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Versatile ground-wise; very productive and speedy colt whose 2yo campaign culminated in Breeders' Cup win; defied top weight in Listed grade on reappearance, then creditable third in the Royal Ascot event won by Asfoora; this return to a sharper 5f looks ideal, indeed he made all in the Molecomb at this meeting 12 months ago; respected. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Mostly leads; handles all ground; had one off day as a 2yo, against the older sprinters at York, but otherwise carried all before him over 5f after his debut, his rivals not detaining him for long in the Windsor Castle here and he won two Group races before hanging on for a Grade 1 success in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; did all that was asked against inferior rivals on York comeback but now needs to prove his mettle back against all ages. |

Classy winner of Group 2 (6f, good) in May 2023 but her season ended that July; offered hope that she was on the way back when dead-heating for 5f Listed race here in June but following a fair run in a Group 1 she was tailed off back in Listed company this month (said to have been unsuited by losing a shoe early); questions hang but major claims if that can be overlooked. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Looked set to be a major sprinting force when beating a top sprinter in a 6f Group 2 on this track (good) in May 2023 but she's had only a handful of starts since and her dead-heat for first in a 5f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last time wasn't really worthy of the sprinter she promised to become; still time for her to do better but she's up against the specialist 5f sprinters, which gives her more to prove; yard won this in 2015 and 2016. |

Made all in Listed race here (6f, good to firm) last May and placed in two 5f Group 1s subsequently; in the mix on best form and she's a lot better than she showed at Newmarket on her return, but has to leave that heavy defeat well behind; cheekpieces go on; slight doubt about slow ground. |

13th 10 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
A record of two wins from 16 turf starts in no way does justice to the Group 1 form she's capable of, such as a close second in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot and a third to Asfoora in the Nunthorpe at York (both 5f, good to firm); the likely fast ground is a blessing and has good claims if on song. |

Back from a break when down the field in this race last year; has had relatively few chances at 5f and thoroughly proved her mettle at the trip when a close, persevering second of 20 in the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot in June; failed to repeat it at Goodwood since but she has it in her to go well. |

High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |
