6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/firmer; took well to first-time cheekpieces in small-field Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) most recently; faces a stiffer assignment at this level but he's the only course winner in the line-up and could go well in the retained headgear. |

9st 5lb |
Finished about 10l behind Ambiente Friendly in the 2024 Derby and 7l behind Divina Grace at Newbury on reappearance; showed very useful form in between those defeats but his chance of landing this prize depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won debut as 2yo and his four races since were Group 2 or Listed; C&D second (good) was a good start to last season, followed however by seventh in Lingfield Derby trial and tailed off in 1m4f Group 2 at Royal Ascot; gelded not long afterwards and not seen since; needs overall improvement but catches the eye on handicap debut for trainer who won this in 2018, 2019 and 2022. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Looked a colt going places when making a winning debut at Sandown (1m, good to soft) last August; 0-3 since, and although he ran well when second in Blue Riband Trial at Epsom (1m2f, good), that still leaves him with plenty to find and he needs to put a disappointing run in Lingfield Derby Trial (second favourite) well behind him; represents last year's winning stable. |

11th May 2024 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |

Big-race entries include the Derby; got up in final strides on debut at Sandown (1m, good to soft) last August before 4l sixth of nine in Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); 10-1, finished strongly from the rear when second of six in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good) 18 days ago, which looked promising for this test over a longer trip. |

Building up a useful CV and his comfortable all-the-way Group 3 win at the Curragh (1m2f, good/yielding) last month was a personal best; galloped on strongly that day and should stay this extra 2f; another plausible candidate for Aidan O'Brien. |

Bottom of this pack on form but this 4yo is very lightly raced and the way he kept on for fourth in a 1m4f Group 3 at Newbury on his reappearance (good; beaten just over 6l) hinted he may have staying potential. |

Broadly similar efforts in a trio of 1m maidens on synthetics last backend, and remains to be seen whether the RPR of 90 for last week's 5l sixth of six in a slowly run Blue Riband Trial (good) flatters him; winning exploits of one half-sibling at 1m4f and beyond offer encouragement. |
