14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who ran creditably in the frame in 7f Group 3s at Haydock and Newmarket in June but was below par when fifth (2l behind Kinross) in the Lennox at Goodwood last time; fully exposed and would be a surprise winner. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who was a short head behind Kinross when third in this race two years ago; his enthusiasm appears to remain intact at the age of eight, but his losing run is up to 12 and he finished just over 2l behind Noble Dynasty when fourth of five in a Group 3 on the Newmarket July Course last month; unlikely to gain an uncontested lead here and has a bit to find in any case. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Not quite at best in York Group 2 a fortnight ago but it was same story in that race 12 months earlier; two starts ago she was beaten just a neck by Khaadem in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and it will be no surprise to see a prominent showing in first-time cheekpieces. |

5th 7 (4) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Only sixth of nine when favourite for this race last year but she hasn't looked back since, winning a Listed race and a Group 3 over this trip and running a cracker when beaten a neck in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee (6f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot in June; goes well fresh; key player. |
4/1 |

2nd 15 (3) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Gifted mare with Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 wins over 7f, looking at least as good as ever with an easy reappearance AW success at Lingfield six weeks ago; that should have put her spot-on for a second attempt at this race (beaten only 1l into fifth on reappearance last year when she got going just too late to land a blow); considered best on good ground or firmer; big shout. |

Seems held by Marshman on Newcastle running but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt and bearing in mind he has been consistent otherwise for current stable; however, yet to break his Listed/Group duck after many attempts. |

2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Has not found her best form this year during three runs in Dubai and two in Britain; beaten a head when 66-1 in this race last year but this renewal seems to demand more; soft ground may well be a negative. |
28/1 |

5th 6 (8) |
9th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won her first five starts for this stable, four of them over C&D; often acquitted herself in good company last summer; not found her best form this year but this is a drop in grade and if she is to revive, it may be here; well beaten in this race 12 months ago. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who could only beat one home in this race when it was staged as a Class 2 last year; managed a handful of creditable efforts subsequently but it's hard to ignore his last win came back in June 2023 (7f Group 3); returns on reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
18 (8) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
He didn't get much luck last time at Newbury (7f, good to soft) off this much reduced mark; the type who could go well with Oliver Carmichael taking off 7lb, but confidence would be greater on faster ground. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Peak form came in winning a soft-ground French 1m Group 2 last summer; respectable in Listed/Group races this term; entitled to run better last time at Sandown when back on soft ground and the tongue-tie tried there is replaced by blinkers, which didn't do wonders for her when tried once in Australia (Group 1 admittedly); can be keen, so the assured strong gallop should at least help. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Standout effort came when winning a soft-ground Group 2 at Chantilly (1m) last summer; 0-8 since, admittedly without encountering soft ground in her three runs this summer (second in Listed race on good to soft) but the seeds of doubt have been sown; tongue tied first time. |
