18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since performing below expectations in this contest on soft ground last year when he bled from the nose; highly progressive otherwise and justified favouritism in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f, good) the time before, completing a four-timer; his belated return to action adds great interest. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Impressive Dante winner who is one of the rising stars of the season; proved game in a thrilling Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown most recently, taking record over 1m2f to 3-3 (all on good going) and overall record to 4-5; showed promise in heavy-ground contest on sole 2yo start; very progressive and promises to rate higher still; strongly respected. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Group 1 Futurity winner (on heavy ground) on this weekend as a 2yo; smart form on his day in a mixed record since, this season's plus points being his close second to Al Aasy in April and the narrow defeat when finishing strongly in Listed race at Goodwood last time (first run as a gelding); they were over 1m2f but last season's best efforts were at 1m4f and 1m5f; player if this is another of his good days. |

Group 1 winner (on heavy ground) as a 2yo; fell short of Classic standard last term but bagged Group 3 honours and ran well at that level on penultimate start (1m2f, good; at Sandown); gelded since facing a stiffer task in the Coronation Cup; leading player on ratings. |

Third in the 2024 Dante and generally kept good company on the Flat in Britain; started brightly in Ireland last spring; has become disappointing; plenty to prove at this stage. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Narrowly won a Salisbury novice (1m, good to firm) on second start and has been a quiet improver in defeat in Group events since; this season he's been fourth on good ground in the 1m Craven at Newmarket and 1m2f Dante at York, but this handicap debut seems to demand a chunk more. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
16th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Narrowly won a Salisbury novice (1m, good to firm) on second start and continued his progress in Group 3s since with second at Leopardstown (1m1f, heavy) and fourth of seven on reappearance at Newmarket (1m Craven, good); readily outpaced by the principals in the last named, so lags behind some of these on form, but this longer trip can aid his cause. |

Twice a winner on soft and third in last October's 2yo Group 1 on heavy at Doncaster; soundly beaten in the Derby on fourth run this season; first-time cheekpieces and back near the Doncaster form when second of five in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in July on latest outing but he has something to find with the comfortable winner Kalpana; makes AW debut. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Listed winner for Karl Burke (1m2f, good) last May and he's gone very close in Listed races this summer on his first two runs for William Haggas (1m2f/11.4f, good to firm), making the running each time; has shown promise on good to soft (unraced on softer); might not be far away. |
11/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Newmarket Listed event (1m2f, good) for Karl Burke in May last year; sold for 520,000gns last autumn and having been gelded he made a fine return/stable debut when beaten a nose in a Sandown Listed contest (1m2f, good to firm) in June; much respected if building on that; holds a Qipco Champion Stakes entry. |

9st 3lb |
Runner-up in Group 2 Royal Lodge (1m, good to firm) last September and returned to form with Listed win at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; had something to spare last time and holds leading claims. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Listed winner over 1m last year and signed off his 2yo campaign with a second to Ghostwriter in the Group 2 Royal Lodge on the Rowley Mile (good to firm; won debut on good to soft); below that form in Group 2/3 events over 1m2f in recent months and needs a return to 1m to have a positive effect. |
7/1 |

7th 1 (9) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Flopped in the Dante at York on last month's return (1m2f, good; backed into 4-1) but trainer reported subsequently "his bloods were off"; Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good) last September then came second in the Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); could bounce back with bold show. |
