28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Useful 6f/7f performer; missed 2024 but has shown he retains all his ability this year, running as well as could have been expected when last of five to Alyanaabi in Listed race at Haydock seven weeks ago; that was a stern assignment and this one is no easier. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Group 2 winner on heavy ground as a juvenile but well behind Alyanaabi in the Dewhurst on his final 2yo start and not seen again until 4l third in a Thirsk conditions race (7f, good) four weeks ago; entitled to come on for the run; going firmer than good would be an unknown. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f, heavy) as a 2yo but hasn't built on that this year, disappointing when only ninth of 11 in Goodwood handicap last time; needs a subsequent gelding operation to have had a positive effect. |

9th 3 (10) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at 6f but ran creditably in Group 3 on sole 7f attempt (good to soft); respectable third in Salisbury Listed event (good) most recently and the winner gave that form a boost here on Wednesday; the cheekpieces worn last time are retained; prominent in calculations. |

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. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in the 2,000 Guineas and Irish 2,000 Guineas (both 1m, good) last spring before winning the Group 3 Jersey at this meeting (7f, good to firm); missed the rest of 2024 and didn't recapture that level when fifth in the Group 2 Sandown Mile and fourth in a 1m Longchamp Listed event in recent months, although the ground may have been softer than ideal in France; his stamina for 1m2f also has to be taken on trust but he's a potential class act on peak form. |
7/1 |

25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Convincing winner of the Group 3 Craven (1m, good) on last season's reappearance before being placed in the 2,000 Guineas at both Newmarket (1m, good) and the Curragh (1m, good), then won the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); absent since but a major contender if at the top of his game. |

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. |
