5th 5 (3) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Hung right when beaten a neck by subsequent dual Group 1 winner Almeraq at Salisbury (6f, good) in May but he hasn't built on that in two starts since, pulling too hard in a Newbury Listed contest over 7f last time; isn't the most straight forward and he'll need to settle better back down in trip with the hood back on for the first time since his debut. |
6/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
18th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since well beaten in the smallest group in Royal Ascot handicap; below-par third in this race last year but is otherwise interesting on two pieces of 6f form with subsequent dual Group 1 winner Almeraq. |
5/2 |

25th 1 (30) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Often leads; showed high-class form on good to firm ground last summer, runner-up in the Group 3 Jersey (7f) at this meeting, then involved in a tight finish for third place in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f) despite racing away from the main action for much of the way; had some excuses later but he was back on track when a close second in a 6f Listed race at Salisbury recently; can go well from rail draw. |

2nd 7 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Highly tried after trouncing Almeraq in a Yarmouth novice (6f, good to firm; receiving 7lb) last June, finishing second in the Jersey Stakes nine days later and not beaten far in the July Cup the following month; finished his 3yo campaign quietly but possible he'll kick on again this year. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Posted a personal best when a close seventh to No Half Measures in the July Cup at Newmarket, but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since (both at 7f); faces a stern assignment, even if returning to his peak, but at least this drop back to sprint distances looks a positive move. |
