3rd 1 (3) |
27th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Failed to stay in last year's Derby and most progressive otherwise, accounting for easy Wolferton winner Israr (pair well clear) in Group 2 Huxley at Chester (extended 1m2f, good to firm) on his reappearance in May; among the market leaders for the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot on the back of that but had to miss it due to an infection; has a 3lb penalty for Chester but still the one beat. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 321 since wearing blinkers, most recently landing the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f Listed, good to firm) where he won well and looked better than ever; headgear retained; faces a stiffer task on first Group 1 attempt and owner's retained rider Jim Crowley prefers Alflaila. |
33/1 |

1st 9 (8) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Group 2 winner (1m4f) last term; beaten favourite in two runs in Britain with blinkers added this spring but he ran right up to his best when second to Passenger in 1m2f Chester Group 2 (good to firm; also acts on heavy) last time, with the pair well clear; solid chance. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
9yo who hasn't been at his very best this year and can be slowly away; however, this five-time Group 3 winner has still shown considerable spark in 2024, including here last time, and he may well be in the mix. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |
25/1 |

2 (12) |
1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention and he didn't get the breaks when fifth to Fleetfoot at the Curragh most recently; could be dangerous in the new hood. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to win above Group 3 level; seemingly used as a pacemaker for higher-profile stablemates in Group 1 races of late and again looks poised to adopt that role; bottom of this pack on ratings and again likely to be swallowed up in the latter stages; wears first-time headgear. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Very useful over middle distances in his prime; had been in the doldrums for a good while but, having plummeted down the weights, breezed clear to win comfortably by 12l here (1m, good) nine days ago; 9lb well in under 5lb penalty today; ought to be hard to beat. |

Very useful over middle distances in his prime but was badly out of sorts on AW during the winter and returned from break with disappointing 7f turf run in May; cheekpieces removed after one use; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

Very useful over middle-distances in his prime but was badly out of sorts on AW when last seen in the winter; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekieces; considered if lively in the betting. |
