1st 1 (8) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Top-class sprinter; got up close home in the Group 1 Jubilee over C&D (good to firm) in June and routed his seven rivals in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (soft; best effort) in September; drying ground might be a slight concern (he folded tamely in the July Cup on good to firm in between those wins) but he's clearly the one to beat if repeating the Haydock form. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who took the leap in grade in his stride for last-gasp win in the Group 1 Jubilee at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) in June; disappointing in the July Cup at Newmarket since but perhaps a second encounter in a row with fast ground was an issue; has won on soft/good to soft; leading claims if bouncing back from last time and rediscovering his best form. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive colt who got up on the line in a very tight finish to the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently, taking record in completed starts to 4-6 and confirming that a heavy fall last September has not left a long-lasting mark; an emerging force in the sprinting division and he's from the family of a July Cup winner (Dream Ahead); major contender. |

1st 1 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Very impressive on handicap debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July before a nasty fall at York, and it was a welcome sight when he reappeared with a Listed win at Salisbury (6f, good); below par on sole run on fast ground and others have more substance to their form, but he's an exciting prospect who could still have plenty more to offer for his top stable. |

1st 2 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Promising in 6f novice events, winning at Yarmouth on second occasion (soft ground), but it was his runaway Ayr win last July that stamped him as a potential top notcher; still in contention for a York Listed event when clipping heels and taking an horrific fall in September; he remains a sprinter of considerable interest but having a positive experience back on the racecourse may be the number one priority today. |
