3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Excellent 3yo season culminated in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) and, after a delayed reappearance last year, he found career-best form to win a good handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft; tongue tied second time) in September on final outing; the Yorkshire Cup and Ascot Gold Cup entries are striking but ideally he would be on ground softer than good. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Sometimes slowly away; 4-8 last year, culminating in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) in October; not seen this term until July and back to form when a creditable, staying-on ninth of 22 at 40-1 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) three weeks ago; down 2lb and a return to more testing ground may well suit. |

Sometimes slowly away; 4-8 last year, culminating in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) in October; he's not shown nearly enough on either start this season (not seen until July) and now has tongue tied first time. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive form last term, culminating in a 1m6f Listed second on soft, and better still when she got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) this June; not disgraced facing a stiff task in Goodwood Group 2 four weeks ago but needs to resume improvement. |

7th 1 (4) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Last season's fine improvement culminated in her 1m6f Listed second at Ascot (soft); got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) on latest outing but she did not see this trip out as well as Term Of Endearment or Sueno when they clashed in York Group 3 the time before; others seem to have the edge. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner in 2024 and highly tried on both starts for Willie Mullins, including when pulled up in the Triumph Hurdle on hurdle debut in March 2025; looked in need of the run on this month's return from an absence and is now fitted with a hood; likely best watched for now. |
50/1 |

5th 5 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner for John & Thady Gosden in 2024; highly tried for Willie Mullins, pulling up in last year's Triumph Hurdle before finishing tailed off in the Northumberland Plate in June 2025; sold for 7,000gns in April and likely to make a hurdler; longer trip could suit and drops markedly in class with a tongue-tie added, but has a long absence to overcome. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
2yo win was 1m2f on soft; no improvement this season and although his sixth of 13 in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last time was creditable, others seem to shout out more loudly for 1m4f. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap at York in August 2024; 0-10 since but runner-up in six of those races, including at York (1m6f) on last two starts in close finishes also involving Mount Atlas (who now carries a 3lb penalty); the lack of a recent win has become frustrating, particularly as he had the initiative for most of the closing stages last time, losing it in the last three strides; cheekpieces (tried once last term, runner-up) return; second to Dubai Honour in terms of form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap over C&D in August 2024; 0-9 since but he was runner-up in five of those races, including when beaten a neck in C&D Listed event four weeks ago, narrowly in front of Mount Atlas; the lack of a recent win is a touch frustrating but he's clearly a leading contender. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap here in 2024 (good to firm; for 3yos) and another good run over C&D (good to firm) when third in this last year, 4l behind Al Qareem; not at his best at Ascot last month following a break, and there's a suspicion he may find one or two too good even if back to his peak, but he might not be far away. |
