19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has an excellent record over the straight 1m here, including a Queen Anne win at the 2025 Royal meeting; below par in the latest edition of that race but a Doncaster Listed win and Sha Tin Group 1 third in the spring suggest he's still just about as good as ever. |
6/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on any ground; admirable campaigner whose Listed success at Doncaster in March is flanked by respectable efforts in Group 1 events at Sha Tin; his excellent record over this C&D reads 11322214 and features two wins at Royal Ascot, including narrowly in this contest last term despite rider dropping whip over 1f out (played second fiddle to Charyn, the year's champion miler, in the 2024 edition); solid claims returned to this scenario. |
13/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June; Ascot brings out the best in him but he's run well in defeat in Group 1s elsewhere since that last win, finishing fourth in the Prix Jacques le Marois in August (good to soft) and the Hong Kong Mile in December when last seen; drops back in grade today and he'll be tough to beat if close to his best. |

Now 5lb lower than for his 1m win here in January and there have been excuses for several of his defeats since; plausible outsider. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Defied a 5lb higher mark in the 7f handicap at this meeting three years ago and scored over 1m on AW in January; has lost his form, most recently finishing last in the Newbury event won by Classic; further Royal Ascot glory looks unlikely. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix. |

2nd 1 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently. |

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. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in this race in the last two seasons; those were run on soft going but he won a good-ground Group 1 at Meydan last year; failed to stay 1m2f at Royal Ascot latest and has each-way claims now back at 1m. |
18/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
His last 11 races have been Group 1, winning one at Meydan (1m1f Dubai Turf) in March 2024; less competitive than usual in his three starts this January-April but never-nearer sixth of 11 back in the Dubai Turf last time was respectable; twice runner-up in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over the straight 1m here on soft ground, plus third last year in the Sussex at Goodwood on good to firm, but he needs to show something new if he's to win this, as he's never been beyond 9.5f. |
18/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
6l second in this last year (soft) and won the Group 1 Dubai Turf at Meydan (1m1f, good) this March; returned to form with creditable third of five in Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July last time and he might not be far away. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

French gelding who has done all his winning in maiden/conditions races (turf/AW); however, ran well in the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp (1m1f, soft; close fourth) upped to Group 1 level most recently; inferior to his compatriots Big Rock and Facteur Cheval on ratings but promises to do better still, being steadily progressive. |

Ex-Ballydoyle horse who has finished runner-up on five occasions for current yard, most recently in Group 2 at Chester (1m2f); however, back up in class today he's very unlikely to achieve the same position, let alone go one better; comfortably held in this contest last year and again has a stiff task; wears new headgear. |

Did well on the AW in his younger days (112112) including a win over C&D, but not seen on an artificial surface since April 2023; showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago and is an interesting contender back on Polytrack; stable also runs Tempus. |

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). |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
