13th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; impressive over the extended 1m5f at Chester in May, galloping on relentlessly; first venture beyond that when disappointing favourite at York (2m) three weeks ago but he's nevertheless back for more in the Cup races and over an even longer trip this time; interesting to see whether his backers return. |

9st 5lb |
Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; brother to the very smart Broome, who won at up to 2m, but he's not himself been beyond the extended 1m5f of his impressive Chester win in May; galloped on relentlessly that day, so has to be of major interest. |

9st 5lb |
Went close in Chester Group 2 (about 1m2f, soft) on sole outing in 2023; well beaten on first two runs back but revived with first-time blinkers added to his regular tongue-tie (combination retained) when second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) 25 days ago; another step forward is needed here and he's drawn widest; Jim Crowley prefers Israr. |

11 wins in all, and seven of them at stakes level; C&D winner on heavy in April and Listed winner over extended 1m4f on soft at Limerick in June; held in Leopardstown Group 3 on quicker ground last time; second to Carmers over 2m at Down Royal back in May and now 4lb worse off. |

9st 9lb |
His record now stands at 11 wins and 16 places; he celebrated his 50th outing by winning a Listed race on his favoured soft ground at Limerick in June, his seventh stakes win; would benefit most from a marked deterioration of ground conditions. |

Ten-time winner, including this race in 2023 (third in this contest last year); won good-class Curragh conditions event (1m6f, soft to heavy) on return; never able to land a blow in the Vintage Crop on quicker ground; first attempt at 2m on latest when runner-up to Carmers in Down Royal Listed (good); each-way possibilities. |

Won a Group 3 and Group 2 in France last season (1m, soft/good to soft); this prominent-racer has run well in defeat in 1m Group 2 races on his last three starts (soft/good) but needs something extra today. |

9st 13lb |
Nine wins in a varied career include this race 12 months ago and a Group 1 in Saudi Arabia (10.5f, good to firm) in February; far from disgraced in Hong Kong last time and now returns from three months off; should give his running but a 5lb penalty makes the task more difficult. |

Won the Group 3 Winter Derby at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February before creditable fourth in the Group 3 Gordon Richards at Sandown (1m2f, good); down the field in the Prince of Wales's Stakes on Group 1 debut and first encounter with fast ground; brought form to a new level with Group 2 win at York; still plenty to prove in top grade. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

Won the Group 3 Winter Derby at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February before creditable fourth under a 3lb penalty in the Group 3 Gordon Richards at Sandown (1m2f, good), when a neck behind Almaqam; down the field at Royal Ascot but in a Group 1 on his first encounter with fast ground; could be thereabouts now back down in grade and with slower ground expected. |

Won the Golden Gates at this meeting in 2021 (1m2f, soft) and sixth in this last year; back to near his best with a clearcut Listed AW success at Kempton (1m2f) in April and reported to have been unsuited by the tight turns of Chester when running poorly last time; 3lb penalty. |

12th May 2023 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 3 winner on soft in 2021; touch regressive and failed to score last season but, following a gelding operation, has shown resurgent form in two notable AW races this year (clearcut Listed scorer at Kempton latest); enters calculations now he's moving back in the right direction. |
