9th 2 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Group 3 win in Germany (6f, soft) last August; not at his best this year but the handicapper is cutting him some slack; stamina for 7f, even around here, has to be taken on trust. |
25/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Has been on his travels, winning a Group 3 at Baden-Baden (6f, soft) last August but finishing unplaced at Woodbine, Meydan and Doha in the meantime; returns from another five months off and hard to know how well handicapped he is; stable also runs Garfield Shadow. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Solid start to his career comprised a maiden success and two close seconds at Group 2 level; not in anything like the same form since, comfortably held in warm 3yo handicap most recently; chance depends on whether first-time hood prompts a turnaround. |
14/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Twice a runner-up in Group 2s last year; ended his 2yo campaign with a couple of lesser efforts though and he made a low-key return at Chantilly (5.5f, good to soft; Group 3) in April; up against it on his handicap debut. |

7th 5 (7) |
11th Oct 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Useful colt whose 6f form includes second-place finishes in Group 2 races at the Curragh (for previous yard) and Goodwood; ruined his chance by racing too freely in the Gimcrack last time and may benefit from this drop in trip; top on ratings. |
7/2 |
