9st 3lb |
It's a concern he's reared at the start and been slowly away the last twice, but he recovered each time to post impressive Group 1 wins in the Commonwealth Cup (6f, good to firm) and the July Cup (6f, good to soft); has won seven of his eight starts and on form he stands out as the one to beat. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of smart form, such as placed efforts in two July Cups, but is getting long in the tooth and seems unlikely to break his Abernant duck at the fourth attempt (record in this race reads 404); losing spell goes back almost three years. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well at long odds in several Group 1s, including when second in this race in 2022 (150-1) and when third to No Half Measures in this year's July Cup (40-1), but he was never a threat in the Sprint Cup six weeks ago and his overall record is none too consistent. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in 2023 and, having been lightly raced since, he was a 2l third of 14 to No Half Measures in that same Group 1 two months ago (good to firm); each-way claims if reproducing that form but his profile indicates it's far from guaranteed. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is a two-time Group 1 winner and has an excellent record in this race, with form figures of 1213; reappeared with head second to Ten Bob Tony in Group 3 John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7f, good) two months ago when carrying a 5lb penalty; no penalty today and he has leading claims. |

Won Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) last September and runner-up in Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) next time; carries 5lb penalty and may improve for this reappearance outing but he's a class act who is entitled to respect; won this in 2021 and close third in 2022. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running. |
20/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more. |

1st 1 (6) |
28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who is very hard to fancy on what he's produced on his last three starts, down the field in the Temple Stakes at Haydock four weeks ago; however, he showed considerable spark as recently as last October, with a Grade 2 win in the US, and he won this race in 2023 (at 80-1) and 2024 (14-1); didn't run in it last year; certainly not written off today. |
66/1 |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot in 2023 and 2024 and added 5.5f Grade 2 win at Keeneland last October; however, this 10yo wasn't at his best at Meydan in March on his sole run this year, and the drop back to 5f and the forecast slow ground are likely negatives. |
33/1 |

10th 4 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Best on good or quicker; his trainer has done so well to keep him to such a high level over the years and he's 2-2 here (including this race in 2022) as well as winning two Group 1s at Royal Ascot, the latest only last June; however, yesterday's rain won't have been welcomed. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Classy winner of Group 2 (6f, good) in May 2023 but her season ended that July; offered hope that she was on the way back when dead-heating for 5f Listed race here in June but following a fair run in a Group 1 she was tailed off back in Listed company this month (said to have been unsuited by losing a shoe early); questions hang but major claims if that can be overlooked. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Looked set to be a major sprinting force when beating a top sprinter in a 6f Group 2 on this track (good) in May 2023 but she's had only a handful of starts since and her dead-heat for first in a 5f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last time wasn't really worthy of the sprinter she promised to become; still time for her to do better but she's up against the specialist 5f sprinters, which gives her more to prove; yard won this in 2015 and 2016. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has won and gone close in Group 3s (5f) on this track; seems to have lost some firepower this year but she wasn't far away in a 6f Listed race here in May nor was she disgraced in the Group 1 Flying Five in Ireland recently; might have a better chance than these terms suggest, at least for a place. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing run, and now to 93 from the 107 mark she held when failing to make an impact in this event last season; in rear in the Temple Stakes won by Mgheera; down the field in the Wokingham and the Coral Golden Handicap. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Crowned the European champion 2yo last term; it's still not totally clear that he has fully trained on, having taken advantage of a near-side track bias at Haydock (won Group 2) in May then failed to justify favouritism (beaten just over 1l by Shaquille) in the Commonwealth Cup, but those bare performances still represent smart form; brilliant in Curragh Group 1 last August and that power-packed display is not yet forgotten. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Had a few excuses for his 2,000 Guineas flop; star performer over sprint distances otherwise and subsequently justified favouritism in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good to firm; beat Shouldvebeenaring) where he gained an advantage by racing near the stands' rail but won well enough to think he retains plenty of his juvenile talent; crowned last year's European champion 2yo having been so impressive in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on good ground, and that brilliant success represents the best form in this field; won the Windsor Castle here 12 months ago; has to be greatly feared. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Carried all before him as a 2yo, signing off with convincing 7l success in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good; made virtually all); returned sore and wasn't seen again until the 2,000 Guineas when he pulled hard and folded tamely, finishing lame; today's drop back down in distance seems an obvious move, and he's the one to beat if back to his best, but there must be a question mark after such a poor run just three weeks ago. |
