4th 5 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten in Group races on his last ten starts but went close in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1m6f, good to firm) last May and he was a good third in that same Group 2 a fortnight ago (good); he should be fine back up in trip and might not be far away. |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten a head in this last year, despite a highly tactical race; has held his form well (back in Dubai and Saudi Arabia this January-March) and should again be seriously involved, but to win this may require a career best. |

2nd 3 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form this year over 1m6f-2m at Meydan and in Saudi Arabia and continued the good work when staying on for a close second in a slowly run Group 2 Yorkshire Cup (1m6f, good to firm) in May; no show when 25-1 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) on latest outing but shouldn't be far away in this lesser race if there's a decent pace to aim at. |

11th 6 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
In fine form over 1m6f-2m at Meydan and in Saudi Arabia earlier this year and continued the good work when staying on for a close second to Rebel's Romance in a slowly run Group 2 Yorkshire Cup (1m6f, good to firm); 5lb worse off with the winner here and drops back in trip, but could go well once more. |
16/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
16th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
His fortunes began to turn again last season and the revival has reached another level this year with his performances over 1m6f-2m at Meydan and Riyadh; on last two starts he finished ahead of Continuous, who admittedly gave weight on the first occasion; not the form pick but he's highly respected. |
8/1 |
