1st 4 (4) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
High-class performer who has claimed notable scalps in last two appearances, readily beating Pyledriver in the 2022 Coronation Cup (1m4f) then collaring last year's Derby winner Desert Crown in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over 1m2f at Sandown two months ago (both on good ground); subsequently withdrawn from the Hardwicke because of good to firm going; has form figures of 131 over this C&D and a record of 3-4 on softer than good; strong contender. |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Raced mainly on good/softer; multiple winner at 1m4f-1m6f; displayed surprising versatility by turning over Desert Crown in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over 1m2f at Sandown last month, when having first run since readily beating Pyledriver in the 2022 Coronation Cup; solid record over C&D includes a handicap success at this meeting in 2020 and good third in this race the following year; better horse now and holds leading claims back up in trip. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time Group 3 winner in Britain who was having only his third crack at a Group 1 when hammering the rock-solid yardstick Pyledriver in last season's Coronation Cup (1m4f, good); sustained a serious injury at Epsom that has kept him off the track since; current wellbeing is a grey area and stepping up to 1m4f+ was the making him, so there are reservations. |

2nd 4 (6) |
25th May 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won his only 2yo race and came a long way in a short space of time at about this time last year, reappearing with a very taking success in the Dante (1m2f, good) en route to Derby glory (1m4f, good); easy to pick holes in the Epsom form but not in the performance and he could easily have won by further; unlikely to be near peak fitness after nearly a year off but the same is true of his standout threat. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Capable of very useful form, such as keeping-on second off current mark at Doncaster (1m, good) when last seen nine months ago; just looks far from certain to go one better, being 0-12 since debut success in 2021. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Handicap debutant who is unlikely to defy top weight judged on 2025 efforts; however, very useful on his day and he's is on a handy mark based on the pick of his Listed/Group form. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Very smart when at his best on the Flat but doesn't look the force of old and pulled up here in June on handicap debut over hurdles. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart at his best on the Flat; made low-key start to hurdling career during the winter but positives can be drawn from his fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and he ought to be better suited by the faster ground here. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner; won well over C&D on good to firm last July; somewhat back down the weights and in class when winning another Class 3 in seven-runner race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; made all) last Saturday in good style; back up 5lb for this Class 2 but each-way claims. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 1m4f scorer in 2025; returned from a spell in Meydan with a solid fifth of 12 in 1m3f handicap at Carlisle four weeks ago; not out of things with Billy Loughnane now up. |
9/4 |

5th 4 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned in the UAE this winter, last seen finishing tailed off at Meydan; still 4lb higher than for his last win in Britain and probably best watched after three months off. |
