30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran respectably on soft ground once, raced on faster otherwise; Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-9 and who has form figures of 112 over 1m, the wins in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) and French 2,000 Guineas (by a head); ran well, albeit no match for Field Of Gold, in the St James's Palace Stakes most recently; solid contender who should be involved but has work to do to reverse placings with the Gosden colt. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-8; he is 2-2 over 1m, having won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) on firm ground last November and the French 2,000 Guineas (by a head) on good ground last month; ties in closely with Field Of Gold on one piece of 2yo form; could well have even more to offer at this distance and is one of the main contenders, contributing to a gripping clash of Guineas winners; trainer has landed this prize nine times. |

Beat subsequent Group 1 winners Hotazhell and Scorthy Champ in Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh; looked an awkward ride when failing to uphold form with Scorthy Champ in National Stakes; probably unsuited by soft ground when below form in Prix Jean-Luc Legardere; came good in style over 1m on quick ground at the Breeders' Cup. |

9st 3lb |
Beat Delacroix in last year's Futurity at Doncaster; has failed to make a major impact this season, including behind Delacroix in the Eclipse; did not have much luck in running before staying on late in the Saratoga Derby six weeks ago; up against it. |

8st 13lb |
Very productive 2yo campaign culminated in narrow defeat of Delacroix, pair clear, in soft-ground Group 1 Futurity; respectable third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (good) kept to 1m on reappearance; smart colt but there are mixed messages in his pedigree with regard to this new trip. |

9st 2lb |
Second to Henri Matisse in last year's Futurity at this track but stepped up on that effort when winning the Beresford over C&D (good to yielding) and the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, soft) when seeing off Delacroix (2-2 since) by a nose; clearly very talented and handles any ground but will need to be sharp on return tackling race-fit rivals. |

Enjoyed fine 2yo campaign, notably Group 1 National Stakes win on this weekend on good ground; three runs in first half of this season well below that level however, including beaten 6.25l in Irish 2,000 Guineas and when not looking to stay 1m2f in Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud in June; returns from a break with plenty to prove, including on soft ground. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Inexperience evident when 2l third of four in Group 2 Futurity here (7f, good) last August on his second start; more professional when winning Group 1 National Stakes here (7f, good) in September by a neck from Henri Matisse; possibly stretched by this trip when seventh in 2,000 Guineas on return, weakening late on; others preferred. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner 1m2f Navan contest in July when dropped in grade; tame effort in handicap company latest and now drops back to 1m; opposable. |

Won a 7f Galway maiden last July; highly tried subsequently; failed to make an impact when sights lowered in a 1m2f Royal Ascot handicap latest; came good when upsetting a short-priced favourite in a Navan conditions event; supporting role here. |
