28th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Got up close home on debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) last month and comfortably made it 2-2 in Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW); he's a half-brother to French Group 3 winner Devant (on very soft) and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; in top hands and has plenty of potential. |

9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
200,000euros yearling who's a half-brother to four winners and related to French Derby winner Blue Canari; is entitled to have come on for his Yarmouth debut (third a winner since) and has been found the right race under a penalty. |

20th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
200,000euros yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to four winners including Devant (6.5f/7f 2yo including Group 3; RPR 102), Dojo (12.5-1m7f; 96) and Tabaretta (8.6f 2yo/1m4f AW; 95); dam French 1m3f winner, half-sister to French Derby winner Blue Canari; already gelded but has an excellent pedigree and looks very interesting on paper. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-7 in handicaps but went down by the narrowest margin at York last July; disappointing favourite in October and gelded ahead of this return to action; probably best watched from wide draw on AW debut (half-brother and dam did win on an artificial surface). |

Quite lightly raced this term and in good form, suffering a poor run when eighth in 1m Goodwood handicap in August; he ought to be in the shake-up. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb lower mark; as good as ever when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, Listed) in March but has found it tougher going since; apprentice's claim is useful but he still has little margin for error off this mark. |

8th 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Very useful performer whose good-ground form includes a close second in this race last year and respectable sixth to stablemate Boiling Point at Goodwood latest start; has registered the majority of wins on softer, notably in Group 2 in 2024 and Listed grade in 2025 (both 1m); major player. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
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. |
7/2 |

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. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |

6th 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |
5/2 |

1st 3 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist. |
