1st 12 (5) |
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. |

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. |
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. |

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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Did best of the prominent racers when third of 19 over C&D last month, splitting Andesite and Lir Speciale in the process; not so good dropped into a Class 4 at Musselburgh ten days ago; minor placing perhaps his best hope. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to joining Tim Easterby and he has been competitive in some useful events this year, including a third of 19 behind a smart prospect at York (7f, good; did best of the prominent racers); down in grade today and he should go well. |
7/2 |

3rd 17 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in the spring on first two starts for this yard (7f, good) and each-way claims on that form; however, two lesser runs have followed and he's 0-18 since winning in June 2023 on his second outing. |

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. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 in handicaps and usually seen over further than this, but he did run well when fourth of nine over 7f here in March; with a couple in here that like to go forward, he may have the race run to suit and drops into a 0-80 for the first time; hood removed; interesting. |
13/2 |

4th 6 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing run but he comes here in decent form for his current yard, sixth of 14 in 1m2f handicap here 24 days ago; possibilities on his first go at this trip. |

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. |

Three wins on AW, but 0-21 on turf; did well at Dundalk over the winter and carried that form through to soft-ground contests in the spring; second over 7f at Naas and fourth over 1m2f here in April (strong form); not so good since; likes to come from off the pace, and there wasn't enough on when he was fourth (only 7-2) at Killarney on Monday. |

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. |
