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. |

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. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Seems to handle any ground; consistent miler who ran well in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot most recently, beating all bar Charyn who currently heads that division; shapes as if this new trip is worth exploring but needs a career-best performance to go one better. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on any ground; consistent sort (unplaced just once in nine starts); has form figures of 1132 over C&D, notably a success in the 2023 Britannia Handicap and neck second in Listed race on penultimate outing (similar effort in France latest); faces a stiffer task upped to Group 1 level but the Ascot factor gives major cause for optimism; each-way possibilities. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
1st May 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Held up lately; hat-trick last April-June included two C&D handicaps, latter the Britannia at Royal meeting (good to firm); no impact in Group 3 at Goodwood but good third of 20 back in a top C&D handicap (soft) in October and looks capable of further progress; not top on form but he's highly respected. |

Campaigned mostly over 1m and on good/firmer; took well to first-time blinkers in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood most recently, staying on for second behind Guineas winner Notable Speech; looks ready for a crack at this new trip and could go well in the retained headgear. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Can be slowly away and was below par in Listed race at Newbury last time; however, he was in good form in 7f/1m Group races previously and the last time he contested a handicap he won the Buckingham Palace here last June (under Jamie Spencer, who excels in big fields on the straight course here); seems versatile ground-wise; capable of having a major say if back on song. |

His form can be up and down and last month's near-miss in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes (7f, good to firm) came at Newbury, a track which brings out the best in him (won the same race last year on good to soft); however, he's shown promise at this course, he should be fine now back up to 1m, and has leading form claims if at the top of his game. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m) and Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood (7f; beat Art Power by 4l); disappointing fourth of six in 7f Group 2 City Of York (hung left and weakened) when last seen in August, but he's had a break since and would have leading form claims if returning to his best; handles soft ground and gives the impression he'll be effective over a stiff 6f (showed promise in sprints earlier in career). |
9/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Second to Kinross in this last year (good to firm); improved form when winning the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) on reappearance and showed that was no one-off with 4l win under 5lb penalty in the Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood (7f, good) last time; no penalty today and has leading claims. |
11/8 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his biggest payday when making all in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good; 22-1) on his reappearance in May, first two clear, but there's a suspicion that he benefited from a well-judged front-running ride; unable to confirm the form with the runner-up Charyn under similar tactics in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; return to 7f no problem and drying ground would suit, but the presence of other front front-runners could complicate matters. |

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 |

Versatile ground-wise; French gelding who has form figures of 32321 since upped to Group 1 level; finished second to Big Rock in last year's QEII over C&D, then went one better in the Dubai Turf at Meydan (1m1f; held on narrowly) in March; could well build on that reappearance win and improve further; sire Ribchester won this race seven years ago (in course record time); very solid claims. |

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. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly with Aidan O'Brien and runner-up in last year's Irish, 2,000 Guineas; has yet to repeat that form, though did get closer to it when the cheekpieces were added (joining tongue-tie) in a 1m1f conditions race at Goodwood (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was receiving 5lb from My Prospero as they crossed the line in unison; more needed here but rain won't bother him. |
14/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Second in last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) when trained by Aidan O'Brien; has failed to repeat that form, latterly for new stable, albeit facing a tough task in Royal Ascot Group 1 last time; combination of drop to Class 2 level and added cheekpieces may have positive effect. |

Good second in last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas when trained by Aidan O'Brien; however, has failed to repeat that form, most recently runner-up in Leopardstown Listed event (1m1f, good) on debut for new yard; stiff task returned to Group 1 level. |

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

Well-travelled gelding who has won good races in France, Germany, Italy and Qatar; however, needs a drop back in class judged on Group 1 defeats at Sha Tin and Longchamp the last twice; something to prove at this level. |

22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in German Group 3 (8.5f, good to soft) in April and creditable third in Swedish Group 3 (1m1f, good) next time; however, he's untested at this trip and there's the suspicion he's vulnerable under a 4lb penalty. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
1st Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
First past the post in his last six outings, the last two in blinkers; landed a Listed race at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (1m, Polytrack) in February before battling on most gamely to just get the better of Alzahir in a similar contest to this at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 17 days ago; a few of these may be open to a bit more progress than him, but still hard to rule out. |

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. |

Still hasn't added to his 2yo novice win; placed in the 2,000 Guineas and Irish equivalent last season but far from consistent since; midfield (never dangerous) in the Lockinge most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear (blinkers replace cheekpieces). |
