22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the 6f Group 2 Coventry Stakes at this meeting in 2023, with Haatem back in fifth; has finished third in Group 1 events since, most recently behind Rosallion and Haatem in the Irish 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; no extra late on that day, and likely be at least as effective over today's distance; handles any ground; should be at concert pitch now and looks the one to beat in receipt of 3lb from Haatem. |

Impressed at Ayr on his debut last May and went down narrowly in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good), doing best of the larger central group; subsequent absence is the obvious concern but he returns at a realistic level and sets an extremely high standard for a race of this nature. |

9st 5lb |
Group 1-winning juvenile over C&D; returned from aborted stud career last year and won a 5f Listed race at Naas (good) and a C&D Group 3 (6f, good); fine third in the Group 1 Flying Five before failing to run to expectations at the Breeders' Cup; well below best on soft on seasonal debut at Cork; better over 5f at Naas, but needs more to make an impact here. |

Bounced back from his flop in the Commonwealth Cup to rally to win the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes at the Curragh four weeks ago (6f, good to firm; Kind Of Blue a narrow second); won his maiden on soft going; this 3yo was better than ever last time but needs another step forward today. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has form on all types of ground; smart performer whose strong CV includes wins in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood as a 2yo and two Royal Ascot contests, more recently last year's Wolferton (1m2f Listed); best figures give him a major chance at the weights. |
7/2 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Gave a typically tenacious display to win 16-runner Listed race at Royal Ascot in June on his first crack at 1m2f; respectable, running-on third back over 1m for Group 2 there four weeks ago, so it looks as if about 1m2f is indeed his trip these days and he looks set for a bold show. |
3/1 |
|
2 (8) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Quality 3yo who was placed in two Guineas before winning the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot that ended up his last run of the season; below par in his first two runs of this campaign (behind Quddwah in France) but got himself back in the good books with a typically tenacious display in winning the 1m2f Listed Wolferton back here; dropping back to 1m is of no concern; strong claims. |

His first campaign started well, making it 2-2 in Epsom's Woodcote Stakes before finishing sixth of 20 here in the Coventry; that was as good as it got and he signed off with a heavy defeat on nursery debut; now having his first race in ten months and on his first venture beyond 6f, so there are some serious questions to confront. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well fresh, winning a Listed AW race (7f) in 2024 before failing to go on and it was a similar story in Bahrain this winter, winning there in December but in the ruck twice since; has a demanding task here. |
66/1 |
|
24th 7 (10) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Career best when getting up late on in a 7f Listed event on the AW in March but he has beaten just one rival in his two subsequent appearances, in the Group 3 Greenham (7f) and a 6f handicap at Newmarket; not a lot went right last time but this stiff 1m could trouble him, as might a tough-looking mark; hood added. |
40/1 |

19th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Dual 6f winner on turf last term and 7f Listed scorer on AW this season; comfortably held in Group 3 most recently; ran well (off 2lb lower) at York on sole handicap attempt but this looks a harder task. |

9st 3lb |
Stablemate of Array; recorded a soft-ground win (5f) in the spring; behind Haatem in major 2yo races since but wasn't disgraced in the Coventry (6f) and the 7f trip may partly excuse his Superlative and Vintage efforts; not fully exposed at sprint distances. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (6) |
1st Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beat just two rivals at Leicester in April (5f, soft); ran quite well in the Coventry but has more than 2l to find with Haatem on that form and he was beaten appreciably further by that rival when not getting home over 7f in the Group 2 Superlative; clearly up against it unless he can find a surge of improvement from somewhere. |

After winning his first race by some 12l, he finished midfield in the Coventry and has since come up short in two Listed races, running rather flat last time at Ripon (scene of debut success) when behind Seven Questions; cheekpieces now added. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Very impressive on debut over C&D (good) in May; hasn't kicked on as might have been expected but he was still a good Listed third at Newbury (6f, good) last month, when half a length behind runner-up Shagraan, and the return to Ripon could be a positive. |

Globetrotter who has had mixed fortunes across his career but he was back on song when third of 22 to Dark Thirty at York (6f, good) this month on his second stable start; he can be in the mix if confirming that promise. |

Two US Listed wins in 2024 and he twice went close on the St Moritz ice this February; having been detached he kept on for sixth of 11 on his recent stable debut at Goodwood (5f, good); may not be a forlorn hope back up to 6f. |

Has run well to be placed in his last three starts since stepped up to 1m; inside draw is a positive for one who likes to be up there, but he has been edging up the weights for not winning and the return to 7f is not sure to be a plus; stable won this in 2016 and 2019. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered. |
16/1 |

1st 9 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Generally consistent for current yard and recent form features a Chepstow success; met traffic issues on his way to third behind Badri and Inishfallen over C&D last time; solid claims. |
10/1 |

6 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First win since his 2yo debut when scoring off a reduced mark at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago; back up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he has been generally consistent in handicaps; shortlisted. |
