9st 9lb |
Record of 2-3 in 2023 for Charlie Appleby featured a success in the Solario; had wind/gelding operations since Royal Lodge defeat and now goes in tongue-tie on return from two-year absence; market instructive. |

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has been only workmanlike in winning both starts (7f, good), latest at Sandown in the Solario, but he's a Dubawi colt who looks likely to progress further and will be suited by this step up to 1m; respected. |

9st 12lb |
Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |

9st 10lb |
Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; made all in the 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but struggled in French Group 1 next time; best to assume he'll need the outing on return from 14-month absence, unless the market suggests otherwise. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ffos Las maiden winner (7.4f, soft) last August who twice made the frame at Group 3 level before excelling himself when second of seven in the Group 1 Kameko Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October; slightly disappointing when only third of seven in a Deauville Group 3 (7f, heavy) last month, but may have had an excuse and this looks a good opportunity. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Met plenty of trouble in running when seventh of 13 from the back at Goodwood (7f, good) in May, beaten a touch over 2l; Royal Ascot handicap (1m, good to firm; 16-1) was disappointing but this 3yo is not dismissed on today's first run since. |
7/1 |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Has been set some tough tasks since his debut win but there were signs of finding his level when an unlucky-in-running seventh in the 7f handicap at Goodwood last month won by Qirat; he was beaten a smidgeon over 2l and could easily have threatened on another day; worth a second look off an untouched mark; bred for this far. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |
16/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Finished second behind Ebt's Guard in this race 12 months ago when rated 14lb lower; he has earned his lofty rating since then, winning twice at Goodwood last autumn and recording a career-best RPR when second of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood eight days ago; another big run anticipated. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Blew his chance at the start in most recent handicap attempt but generally consistent otherwise in the last year and ties in with several of today's rivals on Royal Hunt Cup form; 2-2 at Goodwood and looks interesting back here despite remaining on a career-high mark. |
