1st 8 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Group 3 winner at the Curragh (1m2f, good) last April and went close under a penalty in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June; returned to form in that same Listed race last month, when fourth of 16 (good to firm; Dividend third), and he could have a part to play. |
3/1 |

4th 6 (15) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent performer who chased home Haatem in this on good to firm last year; ended 2025 with solid efforts in Bahrain and Hong Kong and it's probably worth forgiving him a rare off day in Saudi Arabia in February; capable of making a bold bid in this again assuming stall 15 isn't too troublesome. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in the year when making all in C&D Group 3 Alleged Stakes (first-time cheekpieces) in April; faded into fifth behind Los Angeles in the Mooresbridge Stakes; good effort when second in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot; not one of his better efforts in the four-race Meld Stakes at Leopardstown last month. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes at the Curragh (first-time cheekpieces) in April and bettered that under a penalty when second in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot, racing wide and hanging right on quick ground in front when beaten 3/4l; still improving and big player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April; couldn't repeat the form in a Group 2 there six weeks ago and a 5lb penalty for the Group 3 success leaves him vulnerable here. |
