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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Failed to beat a rival in Group race last time; seemed to run well in the Victoria Cup over C&D in his most recent handicap attempt but was always favourably positioned the way the race went and needs to prove he can back up the form; still on career-high mark. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
5yo who won three handicaps last year (including on heavy ground) and has been better than ever in such races this season, finishing second at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) then fourth of 28 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good); however, he has something to find against today's opponents. |
14/1 |

4th 2 (23) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good second at Musselburgh (7f) with reappearance under his belt but is by no means certain to go one better off 103 in this deep field; has gained all handicap wins off marks in in the high-90s and still needs to prove he can break the triple-digit barrier. |

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. |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |
5/2 |

2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner on soft ground who won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) last July before excellent second in the Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August; he's lost his form on his last four starts but perhaps wind surgery will have done the trick; wears a first-time tongue-tie and capable of having a big say if rediscovering his best. |
9/1 |

13 (19) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |

Improved again when comfortably winning a 6f Ascot nursery (good) last month; not up to the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood on his first attempt at 7f but this is a more realistic assignment. |

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. |

1st Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

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. |
