10st 0lb |
Classy 2yo won a three runner race Gowran last July, his third win on turf; has failed to fire since and was never sighted in the Irish Lincolnshire last time, although heavy ground may not have suited; sliding mark but others appeal more. |

Smart juvenile in 2022, winner of the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; has come down in the world in recent seasons and has been competing over longer trips on AW; makes little appeal despite career-low mark. |

One of two for yard; sole win last season came in three-runner Gowran conditions race (9.5f); two middling efforts in handicaps since joining this yard, including a fourth behind Gaucher in December; last year's winner Dallas Star has better claims. |

Second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris in 2023; failed to match that level in Australia until finishing a nose second to Birdman in a 1m2f Group 3 at Randwick last September; down the field in the Caulfield Cup on his final start; resumes his Irish career, now a gelding and housed with Joseph O'Brien. |

Group 1-placed at Saint-Cloud on final start at two; 6 1/2 runner-up to Arrest in Chester Vase; form of the race has been let down by the winner in the Derby and at Royal Ascot; prominent for a long way before fading into eighth behind Auguste Rodin at Epsom. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the St Leger and fifth in the Arc in 2023 but has failed to repeat the form since and is reduced to pacemaking duties these days; as in the Coronation Cup two starts ago, looks set to cut out the fractions for stablemate Jan Brueghel before eventually being swallowed up. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
2023 was his heyday, when winning the St Leger and fifth in the Arc; career has taken some disappointing turns since last autumn and he could be set for a front-running role at a big price today, as on his last two starts. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ended his 2023 campaign with a success in the St Leger and good effort in the Arc; modest strike-rate since and has become inconsistent too; possibly in here as pacemaker for stablemate Jan Brueghel. |

Landed a Roscommon winners race on his seasonal bow in June; not disgraced in the German Derby subsequently but well beaten at Naas since and others look more likely. |
