4th 8 (6) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in sole 2yo start; has performed well in a couple of Group 3 contests this term but was a disappointing favourite, albeit on heavy ground, kept to same grade last time; seemed unsuited by Newmarket in sole Group 1 attempt (2,000 Guineas); bottom on ratings back up in class. |

7th 8 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won his Newbury maiden on soft; has raced only four times and sole blip came when 18-1 for the 2,000 Guineas; interesting that he was considered up to that task and, after a break of 96 days, he did all his best work late to take second in a 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown (good); there's surely more to come, as a Group 1 QEII entry would imply. |

2nd 8 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Narrow winner of a maiden over an extended 6f (soft) on his debut at Newbury last October; reappeared in the Greenham at the same venue and emerged with credit in finishing fourth of eight, looking in need of a stronger gallop; still looked raw when running in the 2,000 Guineas, eased when beaten; interesting here if he emerges more mature after three months off. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Similar to Into The Sky in having raced at Newbury on both starts; did just enough to win 2yo maiden (6.5f, soft) then ran well, about 2l fourth to Alparslan, in the Greenham (7f, good); the way he shaped last time suggests additional improvement is plausible upped further in trip; by 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder; more interesting than bare ratings suggest. |

4th 6 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Edged ahead inside the final half-furlong and did just enough at Newbury (6.5f, soft) on the same day that Gonna Fly won in better style over 1m; holds a 2,000 Guineas entry, unlike that rival, and is open to progress; bottom of this pack on bare figures as things stand, however. |
