16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Returns to the scene of his biggest performance but that 100-1 success in last year's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over C&D (good) still seems something of a fluke, having been seemingly helped by the draw; has failed to back up the form in races won by Opera Ballo and Notable Speech this season, beaten about 7l both times; dubious claims. |
40/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have the ideal set-up at Sandown (behind Zeus Olympios) on reappearance but still needs to prove the form of his 100-1 success in last year's Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II (1m, good) at Ascot, where he was possibly helped by the draw, can be backed up; may be flattered by his mark. |
33/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who finished third in this race last year; returns to Sandown but may be flattered by his new rating, having been perhaps helped by the draw when registering a 100-1 success in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (good) on last appearance; needs to prove he can back up that form. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has an excellent record over the straight 1m here, including a Queen Anne win at the 2025 Royal meeting; below par in the latest edition of that race but a Doncaster Listed win and Sha Tin Group 1 third in the spring suggest he's still just about as good as ever. |
6/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on any ground; admirable campaigner whose Listed success at Doncaster in March is flanked by respectable efforts in Group 1 events at Sha Tin; his excellent record over this C&D reads 11322214 and features two wins at Royal Ascot, including narrowly in this contest last term despite rider dropping whip over 1f out (played second fiddle to Charyn, the year's champion miler, in the 2024 edition); solid claims returned to this scenario. |
13/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June; Ascot brings out the best in him but he's run well in defeat in Group 1s elsewhere since that last win, finishing fourth in the Prix Jacques le Marois in August (good to soft) and the Hong Kong Mile in December when last seen; drops back in grade today and he'll be tough to beat if close to his best. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Finally off the mark in a weak maiden at Bath last month and it wasn't his first good effort in handicap company when a close third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; was ridden more patiently than usual on that occasion; thereabouts. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 11 (13) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Goes well with positive tactics and got off the mark after a gelding operation by making all in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to soft; handles good to firm) last month; could be unexposed as a sprinter (campaigned at 7f/1m earlier in career) and he needs serious consideration back in a handicap. |

Broke duck over 6f at Yarmouth in June; has gone close over C&D since but needs more than shown on recent turf and Tapeta runs. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at tenth attempt, keeping on well to prevail by a neck at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month; ran okay off new mark at Newmarket a fortnight later but will need to kick on again here. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ground it out to make it tenth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m, good) 15 days ago; now 4lb higher and will need to improve again if he is to get the better of a couple of these; stable won this in 2017 and 2020. |

4th May 2023 Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Has failed to progress in three AW races; not obviously well treated but Taylor Fisher takes off a handy 5lb and there is potential for improvement now handicapping on turf in first-time headgear. |

11th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
12-1 when fifth of nine on her Newcastle debut (7f, Tapeta) last month; bred to appreciate the big step up in trip and no surprise to see a better performance. |
