6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Won the Group 2 Mill Reef on heavy as a juvenile but missed all of his 3yo campaign and has yet to convince that he's the same force this season, latterly finishing well behind in the International here; however, there's always a chance the first-time visor might trigger something and he'll go on the ground; wouldn't put a line through him. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo over 6f in 2023, winning the Mill Reef on heavy ground; missed last season but has shown signs of retaining ability, including over 7f, this year; switches to a handicap for the first time and could go well, albeit needs a career-best performance to defy his mark. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise of his 2023 2yo campaign but he was a close third off this mark at Salisbury four weeks ago (6f, heavy) and will be bang there if repeating that form. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 2yo novice over C&D in 2023 when with Eve Johnson Houghton; mixed results since and ran very moderately on his return to Britain in a 6f handicap at Ripon. |

11th 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runaway win in a 2yo novice at Salisbury (6f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2023; mixed results in eight runs since but he was a front-running third in a conditions race in Qatar (7f) in May; on dangerous mark now back in Britain and he's not ruled out on this return to sprinting. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
1st Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

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. |
7/2 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
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. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |
5/1 |
|
22th 10 (6) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |
