26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Likeable 3yo who met trouble when fourth to Paddington in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good) and posted a personal best when running Kinross to a neck in the Lennox at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) next time; looks the pick of the younger brigade and likely to have a say. |

2nd 8 (5) |
1st Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Smart colt whose 7f form includes wins in the 2022 Superlative (good to firm) and this year's Greenham (soft); solid efforts over 1m at Group 1 level the last twice, finishing second in the French Guineas then fourth in the St James's Palace Stakes; respected back down in trip/grade. |

Won with something to spare in the Queen Anne over C&D (good to firm) in June and did likewise in another Group 1 at Deauville in August (1m, good; Prix Jacques le Marois); runner-up in Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp (1m, soft) last month behind one given an enterprising ride; leading claims. |

Acts on soft; ran respectably in top 1m races won by Paddington last season; 2-2 this term, readily winning the Doncaster Mile (Listed) then coming with a late surge to beat Poker Face in the bet365 Mile at Sandown (Group 2); better than ever as a 4yo and may well improve further; major player. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb
|
Reserve; has posted soft-ground wins this season at Hamilton (1m1f) and over C&D; however, he's finished merely mid-division in big fields the last twice (1m1f/1m, soft) and others are more compelling. |

11th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Had little in hand when winning at Ascot (1m, soft) and off this 4lb higher mark the Cambridgeshire proved too tough a task; perhaps vulnerable unless the tongue-tie can make a difference. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
The sole 3yo in the field and he showed he's smart on just his fifth career start when 1l second of 15 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June, although it probably wasn't a vintage renewal of that race; Australian interests subsequently acquired a 50% share in him and he's moved from James Ferguson to Harry Eustace ahead of this first outing for 11 weeks. |

2nd 14 (7) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beat Covey, albeit with that rival was making his debut, in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April when making it two wins from three starts; soft ground may not have been ideal when 9l fourth in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury last time and he retains potential, but others look more compelling. |
20/1 |

4th 11 (3) |
22nd Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Found the Group 1 Middle Park too much too soon; that defeat is flanked by two novice wins, latest at Southwell (7f, AW) where he beat a colt who franked the form at Newmarket on Tuesday; could go well for in-form stable. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
One lesser effort in May when ground was quicker than ideal but otherwise he has made excellent progress as a sprinter, winning at 6f on good to soft and the AW before marginally unable to cope with one who found another burst of improvement, over 5f at Haydock (soft) last week; the less the ground dries out the better but there is more to come from him. |

9st 8lb |
5-5 as a 2yo but 0-11 since, including in the face of some stiff tasks; not disgraced when sixth of 13 over C&D (soft; first-time cheekpieces) four weeks ago but still looks high in the weights; stable also runs Star Of Orion. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Acts on soft and good to firm; 5-5 in 2yo campaign; 0-10 since but has useful form, including in both C&D attempts, the more recent when sixth (off 4lb higher) in this year's Victoria Cup; close third at Chepstow on penultimate run; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |

5-5 in his 2yo campaign but 0-9 since; sixth of 21 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good) in May and beaten short head and a nose off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) nine days ago, so all hope is not lost. |

Group 3 2yo winner on heavy and best form has an older horse has also come in the mud, notably seconds in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood and a 1m Listed race here (wore first-time cheekpieces that now return); having his first run on fast ground and over 1m2f when never dangerous in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot; there are reservations on a couple of counts. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |

Won the Horris Hill at Newbury on heavy as a 2yo and underlined his liking for testing turf when second in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood and a 1m Sandown Listed race (wore first-time cheekpieces) at the end of last summer; ended 3yo campaign on a low note at Newmarket and also ran poorly with a visor added on his Doncaster reappearance in March; given time since; no headgear now and also up in trip. |

Up and down this season but soft ground may have been against him at Sandown most recently; prior to that he was a neck second of 15 there (1m, good to soft; behind Two Tempting) and his low draw may well be an asset; chance. |

Races prominently and can make the running; can battle too, as he showed when taking care of Indestructible in the Acomb at York and the Champagne on soft ground at Doncaster, before holding on by a head from Royal Scotsman in the Group 1 Dewhurst here on good (unraced on firmer); mishap leaving the stalls at Newbury two weeks ago prevented any assessment of his progress from two to three, but he was one of the top 2yos and may well stay 1m. |
