28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 winner as a 2yo; came up dry in 3yo season but plenty of good runs in defeat, including when placing in the 2000 Guineas here (1m, good); has a tendency to race keenly at times, as he did when beaten a nose dropped to Listed company on seasonal return at Navan (1m1f, good), splitting Isaac Newton and Geryon; cheekpieces look a good addition and he should go well again. |

3rd 3 (7) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up. |

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. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who is progressive in the main; justified favouritism in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (good to yielding) most recently, taking his form figures over 1m2f to 11121 and overall strike-rate to 6-11; unable to match Ombudsman's late acceleration in the International but had got up late on to collar that rival in the Eclipse and is set for another gripping rematch. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won two Derby trials over C&D and bounced back from Epsom failure to win the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); deserved much credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on, having found trouble in running in the straight; beaten by the same top-class rival at York; reputation largely restored all the same; major player for stable denied six in a row in this last year. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won two Derby trials this spring and bounced back from Derby disappointment to win the Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he deserves immense credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on last time having found trouble in running in the straight and got behind, and it was a performance that suggests he could take plenty of beating today. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Admirably consistent in defeat in Group races last year before winning the Grade 3 Nashville Derby at Kentucky (10.5f, firm) in August; well beaten in the Breeders' Cup Turf on final 2025 start but offered enough to think he retains all his ability when fifth of six to Ombudsman in Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance 19 days ago; considered. |
8/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |

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 |

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. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to the stable's dual 1m6f Group 2 winner Sumo Sam; like him, he's shown he goes well on soft ground, in his case when easily making all in a Newmarket maiden (7f) before his front-running fourth of eight when tongue tied in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m); had wind surgery early last month; should stay well but may need a lot of rain. |

Runner-up on first two starts (6f/7f, good to soft/soft) then easily made all in Newmarket maiden (7f, soft) last month; takes a leap in grade but this half-brother to the stable's two-time 1m6f Group 2 winner Sumo Sam is open to further improvement now up in trip; tongue-tie goes on; not discounted. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won in summer 2024 on first two starts; 0-4 since but he was inconvenienced by a wide draw when sixth of 14 in handicap at Meydan in January (1m, good) when last seen; could yet be capable of better for top trainer who won this with 4yos in 2016 and 2019; Toby Moore removes 7lb. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Winner of novices at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) and Sandown (7f, good) on first two starts; beaten 7l when stepped up to 1m for the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (soft) in the autumn but still posted an improved RPR and it's likely he can do better again in 2025; big player back at 7f. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won three of his first four races before a staying-on sixth of 16 in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) preceded a cracking effort when close third of 18 in the French Derby (10.5f, good to soft) in June; that step up in trip looked to suit but he flopped at Royal Ascot and didn't finish it off when only fifth of seven in Haydock Group 3 seven weeks ago; drops back to 1m with a question to answer. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Staying-on sixth of 16 in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (1m, good) in May and suited by the step up in trip when close third of 18 in the Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June, both of them French Classic races; the big problem is his flop at Royal Ascot (1m2f Group 3, good to firm) but he's one to take very seriously if that can be forgiven. |
3/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of 1m2f wins on AW, the latest a Listed race where he enjoyed the run of things but showed a fine attitude to repel a solid yardstick; unlikely to enjoy such a soft time through the early part of this race but he is an improving 4yo and Ryan Moore is booked. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Second of four in 1m2f course Listed race (good) in May; below that level with cheekpieces added at Sandown (Listed) and Glorious Goodwood (handicap) during the summer but still lightly raced and it'll be interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are on this first outing for three months (gelded). |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Respectable fourth in this contest last year but showed better form, including success in conditions race and third-place finishes at Listed/Group level, over 1m2f/1m3f later in 2025; doesn't seem to be crying out for this drop back in trip on reappearance. |

9st 3lb |
Landed a second career win in 1m2f Goodwood conditions race (soft) in October; 0-8 in Listed/Group races prior to that but placed on a few occasions and he should be in the mix here. |
