3rd May 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten in this race for last two years (third in 2022, fourth in 2023); starts this campaign as a 9yo and his losing sequence is mounting up; although not disgraced in the Stockholm Cup International on last appearance, he's vulnerable against these younger rivals. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Raced freely when below-form seventh in this race last year (5-1); tongue tied first time when back to her best on soft ground three weeks ago, winning in good style for the second year running in 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket; each-way claims if she backs it up this time round. |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form last September, winning a Listed event in France (1m4f, good to soft) followed by this Group 3 (good to firm) and the latter form would give her an excellent chance today; it has not been repeated this term but two of her three results (all higher level) were respectable, so she's still firmly in the picture; tongue tied first time. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood (good to soft) last September; built on reappearance fifth to Jonquil and Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here when narrowly denied a second 1m2f Goodwood Listed success seven weeks ago; more needed at this level and his peak RPRs have been achieved over longer trips. |

2nd 2 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Performed well twice over C&D last term but had the run of the race when belying his 33-1 odds for neck success at Listed level in September (good to soft) and looks no certainty to defy a 3lb penalty back here, unless things again fall his way. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has raced as far as 2m1f in 2024 and never shorter than 1m2f; third at last year's Royal Ascot came over 1m4f but he broke a losing sequence when diverted from top handicaps to a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood last September; the prospect of 1m now doesn't seem so ridiculous but a career best is needed. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Top handicap form when nosed out in the John Smith's Cup over C&D and again when scoring at the Ebor meeting and picking up the Cambridgeshire in 2023; 0-7 since and he beat one home on his return from a hefty absence/wind surgery at Newmarket in May; should build on that comeback but may need another run or two before becoming of interest. |
33/1 |
|
11th 2 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Excelled in top handicaps at York and Newmarket in 2023, including with a C&D win in the Cambridgeshire (good to firm; 3lb lower today); however, he only once threatened to hit those heights in 2024 and, after wind surgery, missed all of 2025; that leaves him with a 658-day absence to overcome but his handicap mark has been slashed. |
40/1 |

12th 1 (14) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Has a very lofty mark and hasn't been at his best the last twice but he excelled in big-field handicaps last year, finishing second in this (good to soft) and posting wins over C&D (good to firm) and in the Cesarewitch (1m1f, good to firm; off 4lb lower); not necessarily handicapped out of things. |

9th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
1m2f Listed race here (good to firm) last May was the last leg in a four-timer; no joy in his seven races since but he was pipped in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, good) on latest, form which gives him a big chance. |

2nd 5 (9) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m2f Goodwood Listed (good to firm) last May and also placed in 1m4f Newmarket Group 3 (heavy) on final 4-y-o start; below that level in his two outings this year, though he suffered interference when 7l fifth of sixth in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f) latest. |

Yet to race on ground softer than good; gelded prior to excusable Meydan defeat two months ago (endoscopic exam revealed a degree of EIPH which may have affected performance); progressive on British soil and has a record of 3-4 at the Newmarket tracks, including wins in Listed event on this card last year and Bahrain Trophy in July; remains of major interest. |
