6th 1 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly ring-rusty on Group 3 return at Newbury two weeks ago, the same story as in 2025 when he followed that race with a win at this meeting in a four-runner 1m4f Group 2 with first-time cheekpieces; they were kept for two modest efforts last June but have not been called on this season; this is his first handicap and he has a big chance if springing back to his best. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last May in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept for two modest efforts in June but not today; first run since a gelding operation in September; ring-rusty on his 2025 reappearance in this race and the market may reveal whether the same is expected this time. |

9th 3 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Displayed improved form in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when winning the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; flopped in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom subsequently but was reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground; he could be just the type of older horse his trainer excels with and he's not ruled out. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/firmer; took well to first-time cheekpieces in small-field Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) most recently; faces a stiffer assignment at this level but he's the only course winner in the line-up and could go well in the retained headgear. |

1st 2 (3) |
2nd May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Finished about 10l behind Ambiente Friendly in the 2024 Derby and 7l behind Divina Grace at Newbury on reappearance; showed very useful form in between those defeats but his chance of landing this prize depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
