18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
None too consistent since winning the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot in 2024, but he was on a going day when making a successful return in the Group 2 Duke Of York (also 6f, good to firm) in May and he fared best of those from single-figure stalls when sixth to Big Mojo in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last time; these conditions should suit and he's respected. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won Group 2 Sandy Lane over C&D (soft) last May and followed up in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); below par after in 2024 (including in this); reappeared following wind op and won Group 2 Duke Of York; two lesser runs since; capable, but has to get back on track. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent since winning the 2024 Commonwealth Cup and was below par returned to Royal Ascot last time, failing to back up his reappearance success (beat Flora Of Bermuda) in the Duke of York Stakes; well capable of being involved but isn't guaranteed to give his running; beaten favourite (finished only fifth) in this race 12 months ago; wears first-time headgear. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Poetry in motion up the straight at Ascot where's she registered all three of her Group 1 wins, on a range of ground, crowned by the King George (1m4f, good to firm) last month; unraced here but also shone at Newbury on 2026 reappearance; as today's chief rival on ratings is Minnie Hauk, who finished well adrift of her in the King George, this mare is the one to beat. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
She's won the last two runnings of the Group 1 British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes here in October and she was a 1l second of five to Calandagan in this race last year; short-headed in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes over C&D (good to firm) at the Royal meeting and she might not be far away. |

2nd 11 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Very smart mare who defied a penalty in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f; beat West Wind Blows by a neck) on seasonal debut, taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-3 and running right up to her best; strong record at Ascot features wins in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes for the last two years (soft/good) and an excellent second in the 2025 King George; avoids a Group 1 penalty in this race and has a major chance at the weights. |

Signed off for 2025 with a third C&D success in September but he's yet to fire this season, last of 14 over C&D in April; has it to prove after a break. |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) last December; only fourth of seven at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and could do with settling better, but that was a hot novice and this 500,000gns yearling retains potential. |

4th 3 (7) |
7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
500,000gns yearling; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs late on when dead-heating for second of 11 on his Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) in December; no problem with the extra furlong on breeding and holds an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry; big player if ready to go after three months off. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Eight-race maiden; placed in 1m2f event at Newcastle most recently; possibly capable of winning a race off current mark but has seemed to find this trip on the sharp side. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden; competed over 1m-1m4f since switched to handicapping, largely underwhelming and dropping in the weights as a result; rallied for pressure when sixth of eight (beaten 3l) over 1m here a fortnight ago. |
