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. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has run well in defeat more often than not in handicaps, finishing third of 14 over C&D (heavy) in October when last seen; however, he may need testing ground to be a serious force at this trip, having run well at up to 1m4f here in the past; wears first-time tongue-tie/blinkers. |

3rd 1 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; given a break after a poor run over 1m4f at Epsom on Derby day and coped well with the drop back to 1m1f when third at Yarmouth (soft) on return last month, keeping on after not clear run; travelled on that occasion as if this even shorter trip may help if anything; considered. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; ran to a good level in his first three handicaps but then suffered a heavy 90l defeat when prominent in the market for the Northern Dancer handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good) on Derby day; absent since, while the experiment with cheekpieces is swiftly abandoned; could bounce back. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Rediscovered his best with a visor added last summer, landing three handicaps, including at Ascot (7f, soft) off a mark of 103; cracking return when beaten 0.5l by Dreamliner in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March on soft; didn't come on as expected when beaten 7.5l into seventh by Wannabe Royal in Listed race at Naas 25 days ago; nothing got into it from off the pace that day so shouldn't be judged too harshly; handles soft and the one to beat. |
7/4 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has improved for this visor and he's readily won competitive 7f handicaps here on his last two starts (good to soft/soft); back up to 1m on forecast better ground today but his past record provides hope that he'll cope with both and this thriving 4yo may well take a 6lb penalty in his stride. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |

2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner on soft ground who won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) last July before excellent second in the Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August; he's lost his form on his last four starts but perhaps wind surgery will have done the trick; wears a first-time tongue-tie and capable of having a big say if rediscovering his best. |
9/1 |

13 (19) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |
