23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
High-class form in Australia and has adapted so well to racing in Britain, improving greatly for her British debut at Haydock when finding plenty to beat Regional and Big Evs in the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (good to firm); never on quite the same even keel as Big Evs on the unfamiliar downhill track at Goodwood since but her late charge under a penalty (none today) still only just failed; good form chance. |

2nd 3 (10) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Australian mare who ran below best in the Temple Stakes at Haydock (soft) on first British outing; beat several of these opponents at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) since, recording her first success at the top level; major contender even with a 5lb penalty, provided she remains in peak form. |
100/30 |
|
1st 8 (17) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Four Group wins at about 5f in Australia where she more than held her own in top company; showed bright speed for a long way when fourth to Kerdos in a recent Group 2 at Haydock, where soft ground was probably more testing than the same official surface she won on in her home country; a likely improver since that first British run and, given the fine Australian record with sprinters at this meeting, she could ruffle local feathers. |

Equally effective at 5f and 6f, raced mainly on good or firmer; improved through the handicap/Listed ranks prior to landing last year's Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup; creditable second in Curragh Group 2 and Royal Ascot Group 1 first two starts this term; strong contender on form, especially if the ground dries out. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Tough-hearted sprinter; more than a match for most 5f sprinters, whatever the place or ground, although speed is his weapon and he found less than Asfoora in the King Charles III at Ascot in June before gaining his revenge at Goodwood, where Asfoora ran under a penalty; slight query about whether this is absolutely his track, having run poorly in this last year and been just workmanlike against lesser rivals on return; otherwise hard to fault. |

1st 9 (7) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Versatile ground-wise; very productive and speedy colt whose 2yo campaign culminated in Breeders' Cup win; defied top weight in Listed grade on reappearance, then creditable third in the Royal Ascot event won by Asfoora; this return to a sharper 5f looks ideal, indeed he made all in the Molecomb at this meeting 12 months ago; respected. |

3rd 12 (6) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Mostly leads; handles all ground; had one off day as a 2yo, against the older sprinters at York, but otherwise carried all before him over 5f after his debut, his rivals not detaining him for long in the Windsor Castle here and he won two Group races before hanging on for a Grade 1 success in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; did all that was asked against inferior rivals on York comeback but now needs to prove his mettle back against all ages. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Game and very tough filly who ran cracking races to be fourth in the two Group 1 sprints at Royal Ascot (5f and 6f) but unable to match Asfoora's strong finish in the former; withstood some bumps before finishing fast into third to Big Evs and Asfoora at Goodwood and she shouldn't be far away. |

Has won on soft, peak form on good/faster; finished fourth in the two Group 1 sprints at Royal Ascot, then justified favouritism at the Curragh (5f) dropped back to this grade last time; remains less exposed at the minimum distance than over further; could well rate higher still. |

Never-nearer fifth in this race last year; ran respectably in the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot most recently but finished behind a few of these rivals and now carries a 3lb penalty for his Temple Stakes win at Haydock (on soft ground) the time before; doesn't look the percentage call. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Best handicap form when a tight second in the big 5f race (good to firm) here last year; came on a ton later, impressing with the way he extricated himself from cramped surroundings in a Listed Beverley race (good), then a close eighth in the Group 1 Abbaye; needed first two runs in 2024 but he set to work with a will when beating a top front-runner in a Haydock Group 2 (5f, soft) in May and this stiffer track can suit even better; trainer won this with the sire in 2016 and fields another progressive one today. |

Regularly contests Group events but yet to win one; again ran respectably when never-nearer fifth in Group 3 at Sandown (5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) two weeks ago; had form at 6f earlier in career and unlikely to be far away but more will be required if he's to snap a losing run of ten. |

Won a local Group 3 in Qatar (6f, good) in February on second start for this yard and returned to form with very close Listed third over C&D (good to firm) last month; unproven on slow ground; he'll be tough to beat if reproducing that latest form. |

Up-and-coming sprinter who was by no means disgraced in the Group 1 King's Stand here in June and has shown his mettle since with close calls in a Sandown Group 3 over 5f (soft) and a 6f Listed race at York (good to soft) where Korker was just over 2l back in third; one of the better ones. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Two wins (5f and 6f) as a 2yo, the second of them in Listed race on soft ground; highly tried this year but he's shown plenty, notably when second of eight in a Sandown Group 3 (5f, soft) four weeks ago; 4lb well in here and he won't mind returning to 6f; stable won this with a 3yo in 2016 and this one performed well at this meeting last year, so he makes plenty of appeal. |

7-11 on AW, those successes including two Listed events (5f/6f) early this year; 0-15 on turf but he went down only narrowly to Commanche Falls in this race in 2023 (good to soft) and to subsequent July Cup hero Mill Stream in the Duke Of York (good) in May; needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Royal Ascot but he's never run well there; impossible to rule out. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Improved an already useful AW strike-rate with Listed wins at 6f and 5f in 2024 and it's baffling that he has yet to win on turf in 14 attempts, considering how well he's run in Group company (ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft) at home and abroad; a good run is not beyond him. |

Found major improvement after being gelded and having a hood fitted, crowning 3yo season with a luckless fifth of 18 in the Group 1 Abbaye (5f, good to soft; effective on good to firm); since sold for £1,000,000; no serious threat when sixth behind Kerdos on reappearance at Haydock (5f, soft) in May but he can do a lot better on this less testing ground if none the worse for the hood being discarded. |
