13th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of notable 7f wins early in career but raced mainly at 1m since; successful three times this term and ran respectably in the Joel Stakes here most recently; not crying out for this drop back in trip; below-par third in this race two years ago. |

29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
In top form this month, comfortably winning the Group 3 Superior Mile at Haydock (1m, good) and following up under a penalty in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft); he's a leading contender today. |

20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Second in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury in May and comfortable winner of a Group 3 at Haydock on latest start; one of the leading contenders on form, even with his penalty, but he has plenty to prove on soft and peak efforts have been on good or firmer. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since his 2yo days but that doesn't really tell the story as he's regularly performed well at the very highest level, including when third to Inspiral in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville (1m) last month; raced only on good or softer so drying ground a slight concern but he's the one to beat on form with his sights lowered. |

20th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced colt; Newmarket reappearance (behind Mutasaabeq) didn't pan out ideally; this looks more suitable and he's 1-1 at Newbury (soft-ground Group 3 win as a 2yo); good second in two Group 1 races at Deauville (7f/1m, good to soft) last summer; capable of a big run. |

9yo who hasn't been at his very best this year and can be slowly away; however, this five-time Group 3 winner has still shown considerable spark in 2024, including here last time, and he may well be in the mix. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Below best on final two starts last season and same story on sole run this term, in Qatar in February; also has a hefty mark to defy but this front-runner was a fine second under an enterprising ride in a Group 2 at Ascot last July and has a strong record here, finishing second in this race in 2023 and winning it in 2024; capable of very bold bid from the inside stall. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Good second in Ascot Group 2 last time, collared only late having raced in clear lead for long way; made all for emphatic success in this race 12 months ago (good to firm) and commands respect back here. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |

Often leads, as was the case when well clear at one stage before finishing close up in a 1m Group 3 at Chantilly a month ago; that was bordering on his best form and he could outrun his odds if getting loose on the lead. |

Very smart when at his best on the Flat but doesn't look the force of old and pulled up here in June on handicap debut over hurdles. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart at his best on the Flat; made low-key start to hurdling career during the winter but positives can be drawn from his fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and he ought to be better suited by the faster ground here. |

Seems held by Marshman on Newcastle running but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt and bearing in mind he has been consistent otherwise for current stable; however, yet to break his Listed/Group duck after many attempts. |

9st 0lb |
The sole 3yo in the field and he showed he's smart on just his fifth career start when 1l second of 15 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June, although it probably wasn't a vintage renewal of that race; Australian interests subsequently acquired a 50% share in him and he's moved from James Ferguson to Harry Eustace ahead of this first outing for 11 weeks. |

Beat Covey, albeit with that rival was making his debut, in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April when making it two wins from three starts; soft ground may not have been ideal when 9l fourth in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury last time and he retains potential, but others look more compelling. |
20/1 |

4th 11 (3) |
22nd Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Found the Group 1 Middle Park too much too soon; that defeat is flanked by two novice wins, latest at Southwell (7f, AW) where he beat a colt who franked the form at Newmarket on Tuesday; could go well for in-form stable. |
