21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Champion 2yo last term and has bounced back from his Guineas flop to complete the Derby-Eclipse double this summer, comfortably beating Ambiente Friendly at Epsom (good to soft) then less impressive at Sandown where the deeper ground likely wasn't ideal; still managed to beat subsequent Group 1 scorer Al Riffa last time and comes to this assignment with glowing claims, especially as the long York straight should suit his relentless galloping style; highly talented and top rated. |

1st 4 (8) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Champion 2yo last term; comfortably justified favouritism in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft) most recently, bouncing back from the 2,000 Guineas flop that remains his only defeat; tactically versatile and has a powerful engine that, reappearance aside, keeps him galloping relentlessly in the latter stages; trainer has won the Eclipse seven times; brilliant colt who is clear top rated. |

1st 4 (1) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Out of a Group 1 winner whose sister won the Oaks; Europe's champion 2yo, having swanned away in a Group 2 at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on second start and it wasn't any harder work in the Group 1 Dewhurst on the Rowley Mile (soft) next time; therefore it was desperately disappointing to see such a tame reappearance in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) when a remote ninth of 11, and while his trainer has been philosophical since, the average punter may feel safer on the fence for now. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below-par results this season but he may have needed his reappearance run here and got no run in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (eased), having won that same Listed contest last year (good to firm); won the Group 2 Vintage Stakes here in his 2yo campaign in 2023; major player if at his best. |
5/2 |
|
16th 9 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a second win at this meeting when seeing off Galen, King's Gambit and Enfjaar in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; below-par seventh on 1m2f Goodwood reappearance 25 days ago but this has presumably been the target again; the mount of James Doyle from the three Wathnan runners. |
11/2 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
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. |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Held by a few of these opponents on Yarmouth 7f form, having finished only seventh in that race, and he gave the impression he's already crying out for further; well down the pecking order in this field. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Plenty of good runs to his name this year, including placing on three of his last four starts, but his losing run is up to 26. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Plenty of good runs to his name this year but his losing run is up to 25; conditions shouldn't be an issue but more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (16) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He has a poor 1-26 strike-rate but seemed fine at the trip when sixth of 15 over C&D (good to firm) in July and has finished placed on both outings since (7f/7.3f, good to soft/soft); ran okay on a couple of occasions last year when these cheekpieces were last worn; he might not be far away. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
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. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a Salisbury maiden on his second start in 2023; has posted a couple of good efforts for this stable, including when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time hood) in February; cheekpieces are quickly discarded after a poor run here over 1m3f latest. |

10th 9 (9) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

0-11 on the AW and 1-18 overall; down another 2lb and cheekpieces are given a go this time, but he still has stamina to prove over this far. |

Out of his depth in a Group 1 latest; some promising form in Britain earlier in the year but needs to take his form to a new level here. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 0lb |
Has very much come to form on his last two runs; winning a C&D handicap three weeks ago and proved the only danger to a good winner here last week; dropped 1lb for that effort and one of the ones to beat here. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Dual C&D winner was around 2l off Slieve Binnian on last visit here, but now 9lb lower, so marksman is givng him every chance if he can recapture best form; yard still a bit quiet. |

Three-time AW winner is 0-23 on turf but has been placed on five occasions; not beaten far on last turf start at Leopardstown in July (1m, good); kept on steadily for a 3.5l sixth of 14 over extended 1m1f at Dundalk last month; moderate run at Down Royal eight days later. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner as 2yo; threw away a golden opportunity in 6f Listed race at Doncaster in March when diving to his left inside the final furlong; well below par in the same grade last time and would be a surprise winner here, even if first-time blinkers give him a boost. |
50/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 2 winner as a 2yo; threw away a winning opportunity in a Listed race at Doncaster in March (6f, good to soft) when diving to his left inside the final furlong; this is easier than this summer's earlier turf assignments but he's often slowly away and he isn't one for the faint of heart. |
9/2 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2yo Group 2 in September 2023 (7f, soft); went close in Listed race on 2025 reappearance (6f, good to soft) and respectable fifth in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; however, he again looks vulnerable this afternoon. |
