22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
From three visits to York he's won a Gimcrack and finished an unlucky-in-running second in this 12 months ago; gelding operation has triggered a further upturn in his fortunes, winning Listed/Group 2 races over this trip (good ground) on either side of a close fifth in the 6f Group 1 sprint at Royal Ascot (running on); it was his second run in as many days at Glorious Goodwood (after winning the Lennox) when traffic issues scuppered all hope in the Sussex Stakes; the worry is this week's rain as he's had precious little racing on ground softer than good and hasn't shone when he has. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded prior to this season's impressive win at Haydock (7f Listed) and respectable fifth at Royal Ascot (6f Group 1); his 1m form comprises a respectable fifth in the 2025 Queen Anne and two lesser efforts on Australian soil; still needs to prove he's a genuine miler but he arrived late to win the 7f Group 2 Lennox here yesterday and is probably in the form of his life. |

Gelded prior to impressive win at Haydock (7f Listed) and respectable fifth at Royal Ascot (6f Group 1) this season; fared best of the runners from off the pace when second to Witness Stand in this contest 12 months ago; top on ratings in this bid to go one better. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ballydoyle colt who has a very solid record thus far, having won at Naas then finished second in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and the Gimcrack at York; yet to race on ground worse than good to yielding; big player on form. |
2/1 |

25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

2nd 12 (15) |
21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
200,000gns yearling who was sent off 5-6 for his Naas debut (6f, good to yielding) last month but was forced to battle hard to come out on top; form doesn't look anything special, but no surprise if he takes a big step forward from that and he's respected for stable that has won this race three times since 2015; middle draw could be an issue, however. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 since debut and, although he ran respectably when second in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September, he was only ninth in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp next time; again looks vulnerable. |
50/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to encounter slow ground; lightly raced; has largely progressive RPRs, including at Group level, but was disappointing in the Hungerford most recently; chance of a rebound partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has usually shown improved form; ended last season with second in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and he returned from 351 days off with a slow-starting second to Rage Of Bamby in Group 3 here (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; going back up to 7f can help and he's firmly in the mix. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Has run with credit in Group and Listed company since winning at the latter level as 2yo (good) and he gave it a very good shot on handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) recently when pressing hard throughout; shade more to prove up 1lb with this stiffer test. |
12/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |

Listed winner at two and twice placed at that level subsequently; latest fifth in Germany was a good effort on RPRs and he's been gelded since; on a tough mark for belated handicap debut but he's earned it. |
15/2 |

13th 1 (12) |
18th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful colt who won a Listed event over this C&D (good) as a 2yo and was just denied at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) on his reappearance in March; however, he was disappointing on soft turf back at Chantilly five weeks ago and others have stronger claims on form. |

9th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Beat the smart Big Evs on his second run but was behind that rival at Royal Ascot and has since had his limitations further exposed; while he didn't run at all badly in the Gimcrack, others appeal more here. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely seen on a downhill track but ran a corking race in Group 3 over C&D as 2yo; often well below best in 2026 but intermittent flashes of form have lightened the gloom, including when a close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good to firm; first-time visor, retained) latest; on the risky side overall. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
His mark continues to fall and there were promising signs at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June; however, two lesser runs have followed and he has to turn things around in a first-time visor (has worn cheekpieces/blinkers this term). |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has made no impact on good to firm going on his last three starts but his two encounters with slow ground have produced positive results, specifically a Listed third at York (6f, soft) last October and a handicap win at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) this July; blinkers go on; interesting. |
25/1 |

23th 21 (2) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D win as a 2yo; returned from wind and gelding operations to win a Thirsk handicap (6f, good to soft) in July; not so good twice since and yard have stronger claims elsewhere. |

Lightly raced 3yo; returned in May from gelding and wind operations to win a 6f handicap at Thirsk in July (good to soft); disappointing at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; others look safer. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Highly tried last season after his successful debut, running particularly well in a Group 3 at Deauville; remains in the same ownership this year despite changing yards and, although behind Kendall Roy two runs back, he showed bright speed and made all for a narrow success at Naas (6f, good; second-time blinkers); up 5lb but reverting to 5f shouldn't be an issue. |

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. |

Three wins for his former stable, the latest at Hamilton (6f, good) in June; sold for 11,000gns last month; widest stall to overcome on his stable debut; a hood now returns. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Hamilton (6f, good) last month on second start back from a break and the neck runner-up went one better there next time; he's used to plying to his trade in a lower grade but is not discounted up just 2lb. |

Carlisle winner on debut in June 2023 (5f, good to firm); gained another win at Wolverhampton in January (5f) and fair run back on turf when fourth at Pontefract last time (6f); a possible, but perhaps better at shorter. |
