9st 2lb |
Ran three times last year, posting a Listed second in October (6f, soft; behind Purosangue), and reappeared with a win in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month, showing pace; surplus stamina will be no bad thing in today's conditions and he can give another good account. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to his useful 2yo form when winning twice at Kempton (6f, AW) in the winter, but hasn't built on it and failed to beat a rival at Windsor (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; application of cheekpieces will need to bring about a resurgence. |
14/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Improved AW form over 6f last winter, but wasn't on his game when last seen on sand in April and he made it 0-11 on grass when beaten about 5l at Newmarket in May; may have his share of weight on balance of turf form. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

0-11 on turf with his best efforts coming on slower than good; back up in the weights after a productive AW campaign and he has enough to prove back on turf, all the more so after his tame effort at Newcastle on Good Friday. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Ran poorly on his reappearance at Salisbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; best efforts give him a squeak and he is effective on AW but others appeal more for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Did best of the prominent racers when third of 19 over C&D last month, splitting Andesite and Lir Speciale in the process; not so good dropped into a Class 4 at Musselburgh ten days ago; minor placing perhaps his best hope. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to joining Tim Easterby and he has been competitive in some useful events this year, including a third of 19 behind a smart prospect at York (7f, good; did best of the prominent racers); down in grade today and he should go well. |
7/2 |

3rd 17 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in the spring on first two starts for this yard (7f, good) and each-way claims on that form; however, two lesser runs have followed and he's 0-18 since winning in June 2023 on his second outing. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |
|
2 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |
|
6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

10st 0lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise of his 2023 2yo campaign but he was a close third off this mark at Salisbury four weeks ago (6f, heavy) and will be bang there if repeating that form. |
5/1 |
|
1 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 2yo novice over C&D in 2023 when with Eve Johnson Houghton; mixed results since and ran very moderately on his return to Britain in a 6f handicap at Ripon. |

11th 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Runaway win in a 2yo novice at Salisbury (6f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2023; mixed results in eight runs since but he was a front-running third in a conditions race in Qatar (7f) in May; on dangerous mark now back in Britain and he's not ruled out on this return to sprinting. |

10st 2lb |
Group placed over 7f last June but not so good afterwards in 2025; sold out of Kevin Ryan's yard for 72,000gns and gelded since last run; wears first-time tongue-tie and blinkers; stiff task on stable/seasonal debut. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Soft-ground Listed winner last autumn; best effort this term when second to Quinault in 7f Group 3 at York (good) in June; ran poorly with cheekpieces added (retained) in a Doncaster Group 2 last month but he's a major player if back to anywhere near his best. |

Impressed at Ayr on his debut last May and went down narrowly in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good), doing best of the larger central group; subsequent absence is the obvious concern but he returns at a realistic level and sets an extremely high standard for a race of this nature. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Hampered when fifth to Spycatcher in this race last year; gained ample compensation in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; gamely) two months later; didn't give his running in two Group 1s in the autumn but this is easier and he has gone well when fresh in the past; high on the list. |
15/2 |
|
4 (5) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Six wins from just 16 attempts and he landed the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) in May; however, he was only eighth in this race 12 months ago and finished last in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last month; unlikely to be good enough. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well fresh, winning a Listed AW race (7f) in 2024 before failing to go on and it was a similar story in Bahrain this winter, winning there in December but in the ruck twice since; has a demanding task here. |
66/1 |
|
24th 7 (10) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Career best when getting up late on in a 7f Listed event on the AW in March but he has beaten just one rival in his two subsequent appearances, in the Group 3 Greenham (7f) and a 6f handicap at Newmarket; not a lot went right last time but this stiff 1m could trouble him, as might a tough-looking mark; hood added. |
40/1 |

19th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Dual 6f winner on turf last term and 7f Listed scorer on AW this season; comfortably held in Group 3 most recently; ran well (off 2lb lower) at York on sole handicap attempt but this looks a harder task. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |
9/1 |
|
6th 11 (7) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |
