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. |

16th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

By Night Of Thunder out of French 1m1f-12.5f winner (including Group 2); rallying fourth in novice at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November; 4-6 for 17-runner maiden at Newbury (1m, good to soft) last month, always prominent and keeping on strongly to assert in the final 1f; has been taken out of the Derby (the only one of these not in it; has King Edward VII entry) but will surely get this trip and, although bottom on ratings, he looks certain to improve again. |

25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to achieve the same success last year that he had as a 2yo but still made all in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m5f) in July and good third in a German Group 1 (1m4f) in November; ran poorly on reappearance at Newbury 13 days ago, with the ground (good, good to firm in places) possibly to blame but he needs to put that way behind him; drops back in trip. |

9st 2lb |
Belatedly built on the form of a convincing winning debut at Doncaster (7f, soft) last summer when third of seven in the Dante at York (1m2f, good; 25-1) five weeks ago, although he did seem beaten fair and square; will need to raise his game again if he's to make a serious impression. |

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. |

4th 3 (7) |
16th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

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. |

9st 10lb |
Outran 50-1 odds when placed in Newmarket Listed race (1m1f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in April and took another big step forward when winning in this grade by 4l there (1m2f, good) the following month; seems to have had his limitations exposed in two Group races since but has sights lowered here. |

9th 4 (10) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Took a sizeable step forward when 4l Listed winner at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month on his sixth start; down the field in the Dante subsequently but perhaps that run came too soon (13 days later); entitled to respect on the Newmarket form and he's not ruled out back from 35-day break. |

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. |

1st 1 (6) |
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. |
