16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
High-class miler domestically and internationally, predominantly on good and quicker ground in accordance with his bright turn of foot; readily justified strong market support in the Lockinge at Newbury most recently, registering a fifth success at the top level and looking better than ever; bit to prove at Royal Ascot, having flopped badly in the 2024 St James's Palace Stakes and finished only fourth in this race last year; otherwise a leading player on the figures. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
High-class miler domestically and internationally, predominantly on good and quicker ground; lacked recent match practice when only fourth in this race 12 months ago; bagged the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes in 2024 and completed a North American Grade 1 double, including Breeders' Cup Mile success, last autumn; had no luck in running at Keeneland on reappearance; leading player on best figures. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
High-class miler who landed the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes last year; on several occasions he has shown a smart turn of foot, suggesting he is blessed with speed, and travelled like a colt who may well prove as effective over shorter; only fourth in two top races this term but reportedly worked well in a gallop last weekend, prompting connections to supplement him for this contest at a cost of £36,000; leading player on best form and the drop in distance is well worth exploring. |

Won two of his first three starts (second to the subsequent 2000 Guineas winner in between the wins); some fair races on turf this summer and could prove well handicapped back on AW. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
AW winner in Britain (1m) and added Limerick claimer last summer for previous yard; 0-6 for current yard, slow to break and keen when last seen in November; down to a nice mark but record fresh isn't great. |

AW winner in Britain; won a claimer at Limerick in June; modest form so far since joining this stable and heavy defeats on last two starts at 1m4f; others arrive in better form. |

10st 0lb |
His ability is not in question but he needs everything to fall right and has often flattered to deceive; stepping back up to 1m is worth a go but others look safer. |

Beaten in C&D nurseries the last twice, agonizingly when looking all over the winner 105 days ago; blinkers quickly dispensed with and gelded since; again vulnerable. |
