16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bright start to last season culminated in neck second when favourite for this contest; broadly not in the same form since, most recently last of six (behind two of today's opponents) when bidding for repeat success in Sandown Group 2; big revival is needed in first-time headgear. |
40/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Below best in three of his last four outings in 2025 but commenced the campaign splendidly, winning twice (including in this race) then going close in the Group 1 Lockinge; while today may be a good time to catch him, he faces a slightly stiffer assignment in this field. |
12/1 |

3 (16) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten fourth in this last year (soft); an improved performer this season, winning Sandown Group 2 (1m, good) then going close in the Group 1 Lockinge (1m, good to firm); mixed form since, finishing down the field in the Queen Anne over C&D and also in the Moulin last time, but in between he was a close third in the Jacques Le Marois; each-way claims if on song. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat her 19 rivals in a hot York nursery last season (7f, good to firm) and followed that with a fine effort at Listed level (second); has made no further progress, however, and this is her first run at 1m (started off over 5f). |

9th 5 (5) |
25th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Highly tried since beating her 19 rivals in a valuable York nursery (7f, good to firm) last August, looking out of her depth in Newmarket Group 3s on her final start at two and reappearance; well drawn but looks vulnerable to an improver; stable also runs Al Shabab Storm. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

Third in the 2024 Dante and generally kept good company on the Flat in Britain; started brightly in Ireland last spring; has become disappointing; plenty to prove at this stage. |

Won the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) in August and Listed runner-up at Dundalk (7f, AW) three weeks ago; however, in between those he was a soundly beaten fourth behind Dancing Gemini in a Listed race here (7f, soft) and he's down the pecking order today. |

Hard to make a case for him being on a good mark on what we've seen in handicaps but perhaps returning to sprinting will help this free-goer; Rossa Ryan back in the plate for AW debut. |

Well treated on last season's best efforts and a recent run at Thirsk should have sharpened him up; trip and ground suit and he is another to consider in an open race. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in 2024; creditable third, faring best of the runners who came off steady pace, in Group 2 at Chester (good) upped to 1m2f last time; unexposed at this distance and enters calculations despite carrying a 3lb penalty for Listed success (1m, soft) last autumn. |

3rd 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended last season with a pair of 1m victories, the latest in a Nottingham Listed event (soft); not totally disgraced when fifth of eight in a Group 3 at Dusseldorf (1m, heavy) on last month's return, but that does indicate his limitations; races beyond an extended 1m for the first time; stable also runs Royal Rhyme. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Ties in with Golden Mind on Musselburgh running but the pair of them are facing a stiffer assignment in this major prize; remains useful on turf but a lower mark in this sphere reflects that his peak form, namely dual Listed honours, has been shown on AW. |
33/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made his name on AW but he can do it on turf when the ground is quick, as when a cosy winner at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in August; has since added a second Listed AW event, at Southwell in November, but the Saudi Arabia venture came to nothing in February and he has ground worries today. |

All three wins, and top five RPRs, achieved here; found just the favourite too strong following a gelding operation last time; major claims despite 4lb rise. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Gelded since last run; best at Kempton and has a record of 11142 here, most recently going very close off 5lb higher in March; attractively treated and enters calculations returned to his ideal location. |
