3rd 4 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Largely progressive colt whose strike-rate of 7-10 includes wins this year at Meydan (Group 1) and Sandown (made all for a particularly good Group 2 performance under a penalty); collared only towards the finish by Ten Bob Tony and one other rival in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently, deserving credit having set a solid pace over that stiff 1m; flexible tactically and doesn't necessarily need to front-run; the pick of the older runners on ratings and duly commands respect. |
7/2 |

3rd 7 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all for 3l success in a particularly good edition of the bet365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown most recently, defying a 5lb penalty for his Group 1 win at Meydan and taking record to 7-9, as well as reversing Newmarket autumn placings with Zeus Olympios; doesn't necessarily need to dominate up front; new rating puts him on a par with stablemate Notable Speech and even bigger figures may be on the way; respected. |

1st 2 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive colt who readily bagged Group 1 honours at Meydan (1m1f, good) three months ago, taking record to 6-8; however, appears to need further improvement to defy 5lb penalty and was no match for Zeus Olympios in last domestic outing. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (6) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Pulled too hard and flopped in the Craven but firmly back on track with a hood fitted since, winning Listed events over this trip at Sandown (good) and on the July course (good to firm); particularly impressive in the latter event and he holds a Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes entry; sets a fine standard to aim at. |
