9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 but on a 12-race losing sequence and he ran badly on his last three starts in Dubai early this year; this is a drop in grade but he's proving increasingly hard to predict. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Not disgraced in similar event at Doncaster last time but continues below his peak form, namely wins in the Lockinge and Lennox last term; still needs to raise his game. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Smart over 7f/1m on his day; runner-up in this contest in 2023 and won the Lockinge and the Lennox last year; not in the same form since and the switch to blinkers (retained) had no effect last time; the need for a revival continues. |

9st 6lb |
Won with something to spare in the Queen Anne over C&D (good to firm) in June and did likewise in another Group 1 at Deauville in August (1m, good; Prix Jacques le Marois); runner-up in Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp (1m, soft) last month behind one given an enterprising ride; leading claims. |

18th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Acts on soft; ran respectably in top 1m races won by Paddington last season; 2-2 this term, readily winning the Doncaster Mile (Listed) then coming with a late surge to beat Poker Face in the bet365 Mile at Sandown (Group 2); better than ever as a 4yo and may well improve further; major player. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough. |
40/1 |

20th 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Very useful but rather needs the cards to drop right and gained his only turf wins, namely in Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, in 2023; peak AW form this year when scoring in January; finished seventh (off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time Group/Grade 1 winner, including this race in 2023 in convincing fashion; not at her best so far this year but she has gone up a notch with each run, making late headway after a typically sluggish start when third in the Jacques le Marois at Deauville on her most recent outing; not one to trust implicitly these days but she'd be the one to beat if returning to her peak. |
3/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
The first five of her Group 1 wins were over 1m, including at this meeting in 2022, but she also grabbed the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita last November on her first attempt at 1m2f, switched outside entering the short straight and surging past eight rivals to lead in the final stride; she wasn't the most settled through that race and failed to muster a challenge in a strange Lockinge at Newbury (1m) on reappearance, but huge shout if back to her best. |
9/4 |
|
4th 11 (1) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Acts on good to soft, below par once on soft; six-time Group 1 winner, including twice in the Marois; beat Big Rock by just over 1l in the 2023 running of that race, then justified favouritism in the Sun Chariot (readily) and the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (upped to 1m2f; led close home); highly respected. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Soft-ground second in the 2,000 Guineas in 2023; smart handicapper nowadays but his only success remains a C&D novice win at the 2022 Western meeting; two good placed efforts over 1m at Thirsk this year but well held at Ascot latest and others are preferred for the win again. |
16/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground second in the 2,000 Guineas in 2023; smart handicapper nowadays who still has just one novice success to his name; went close in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (good) on reappearance and it was a step back in the right direction when close third of five at that track (also 1m, good to firm) last month; hasn't shone in three starts here (admittedly twice in Group 1s) but handicapper is gradually relenting. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Runner-up in the 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but just a useful handicapper nowadays; comes into the reckoning on his second in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (good ground) on reappearance but hasn't repeated the form and carries risks. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
French colt whose form dipped in the Lockinge on stable/seasonal debut, having been unable to dominate in his usual manner (Audience had the overall lead); progressive otherwise and may rebound with that reappearance under his belt; top rated on his peak performance, namely a 6l success in soft-ground QEII over C&D last October (final start for Christopher Head). |
5/1 |

6th 2 (9) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Front-running French colt who did well last year for Christopher Head and ties in closely with Inspiral on Marois running; unchallenged in soft-ground QEII at Ascot on final start, winning by 6l having raced in clear lead from an early stage; impressive new rating puts him top in this field. |

Useful on turf but better on AW, winning four of his six starts including twice at Listed level (won the corresponding race when it was run at Lingfield in 2024); off the track for a year but still more appealing than many. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Last season's 3yo campaign was cut short in June after two disappointing Group 1 performances and he was well beaten on his reappearance in the Group 1 Lockinge a fortnight ago; needs to prove he's still the force of old but he was third in last season's 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft) and if tapping back into that ability he has a major shout today; versatile ground-wise. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |
13/2 |

8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |
