Headstrong; ran poorly in Dubai Turf at Meydan in March but had been in good form there prior to that, winning 1m Group 2 and second in 1m1f Group 1; raced largely on good/good to firm but he did make a winning debut on soft; major player if back to anywhere near his best. |

Listed winner (7f, soft) on sole outing last year and Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to soft) in July on second start back from an absence; respectable fourth of five in Group 1 Sussex Stakes (1m, soft) at Glorious Goodwood and holds leading claims now back down in grade. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Different proposition since blinkered, winning Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, soft) in April and Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot (good) in June; showed he's also capable of smart performances outside handicaps when third in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot (good to soft) on latest start six weeks ago; should be thereabouts for a stable which continues in excellent form. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (8) |
15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Different proposition since blinkered, winning Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, soft) in April and Royal Hunt Cup over the straight 1m at this course (good) last month; the RPR he achieved when winning here gives him a good chance but big-field races clearly suit and he does need to prove he can produce that level of performance faced with a different scenario. |

21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm ground; took really well to first-time blinkers in the Spring Cup at Newbury, scoring readily, and subsequent flop seems to confirm that he's unsuited by the Newmarket Rowley Mile course; may still have more to offer in the blinds and he has Royal Ascot form having finished third in last year's Britannia; one to consider. |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |

Added to his good record on softer than good when resuming winning ways in 7f Haydock Listed race last month; shaped better than the result after meeting trouble when seventh of 12 in the Queen Anne over the straight 1m here (good) at the Royal meeting; big run on the cards if the ground eases. |

29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
C&D novice winner who was a Listed scorer on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last July; back to form when dead-heating in Group 3 Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury (1m, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained) and he's respected for his top stable (one of two for yard). |
9/2 |

1st 3 (2) |
17th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Rapidly developed into a smart miler last summer, very close fifth in Group 1 St James's Palace before a Listed win at Newmarket, but disappointing on final 3yo start and on his only run this term; good to soft ground and some ring-rustiness might help explain the latter but connections also now turn to cheekpieces. |
7/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Rapidly developed into a smart miler last summer, very close fifth in Group 1 St James's Palace over C&D before a Listed win at Newmarket; a touch disappointing when stepped up to 1m1f at York on final 3yo start but his overall profile is positive and he could easily have more to come in 2023; contender but he was keen in quite a few of his races last year and wouldn't want to be too fresh back from 11 months off; raced only on good/good to firm. |

12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
US challenger who made virtually all to win the Grade 1 Belmont Derby (1m2f, firm) last July; however, he's drawn a blank since and, following a respectable fourth at Churchill Downs in June, soundly beaten at Ascot (1m2f/1m) on last two outings; best watched for now. |

US challenger who made virtually all to win the Grade 1 Belmont Derby (1m2f, firm) last July; however, he's drawn a blank since and weakened quickly to finish 18l last of six in the Prince of Wales's Stakes here (1m2f) last month; return to shorter may help but he has plenty to prove. |

9st 13lb |
C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |

Continues to drop down the weights but this 8yo struggled in the main last season and it was the same story on last month's reappearance; needs to turn things around. |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who was better than ever when winning a 1m Meydan handicap in February but not in the same form when weakening to finish well held in a 1m Newmarket handicap on his British return in April; has a bit to find on form and possible his main role here is to ensure a good pace for stablemate Master Of The Seas. |

8th 1 (9) |
18th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two good runs in Dubai this year, when third over 7f in January and then a game winner in a 1m handicap in February (both good ground); the latter effort was backed up by the clock and although he'll need to progress again to defy a 4lb rise, he might enjoy the run of things in this field; has won on good to soft, untested on slower; 2-3 in cheekpieces. |

9yo who hasn't been at his very best this year and can be slowly away; however, this five-time Group 3 winner has still shown considerable spark in 2024, including here last time, and he may well be in the mix. |
