30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran respectably on soft ground once, raced on faster otherwise; Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-9 and who has form figures of 112 over 1m, the wins in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) and French 2,000 Guineas (by a head); ran well, albeit no match for Field Of Gold, in the St James's Palace Stakes most recently; solid contender who should be involved but has work to do to reverse placings with the Gosden colt. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-8; he is 2-2 over 1m, having won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) on firm ground last November and the French 2,000 Guineas (by a head) on good ground last month; ties in closely with Field Of Gold on one piece of 2yo form; could well have even more to offer at this distance and is one of the main contenders, contributing to a gripping clash of Guineas winners; trainer has landed this prize nine times. |

9st 8lb |
Beat subsequent Group 1 winners Hotazhell and Scorthy Champ in Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh; looked an awkward ride when failing to uphold form with Scorthy Champ in National Stakes; probably unsuited by soft ground when below form in Prix Jean-Luc Legardere; came good in style over 1m on quick ground at the Breeders' Cup. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Group 3 win in Germany (6f, soft) last August; not at his best this year but the handicapper is cutting him some slack; stamina for 7f, even around here, has to be taken on trust. |

6th 1 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Has been on his travels, winning a Group 3 at Baden-Baden (6f, soft) last August but finishing unplaced at Woodbine, Meydan and Doha in the meantime; returns from another five months off and hard to know how well handicapped he is; stable also runs Garfield Shadow. |
10/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Solid start to his career comprised a maiden success and two close seconds at Group 2 level; not in anything like the same form since, comfortably held in warm 3yo handicap most recently; chance depends on whether first-time hood prompts a turnaround. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Very experienced for his age; winner of six of his 16 starts and placed eight times; strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a C&D Group 2 in July; faded in the final quarter-mile of the Nunthorpe; could bounce back and helps to give the stable a strong hand, with Bucanero Fuerte also in the mix. |

11th 9 (9) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Often leads; has had plenty of racing for his tender years but he's tough and reliable and his first 5f run of the year saw him achieve strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a Group 2 at the Curragh (good; acts well on firm) in July; still has potential over 5f. |
11/2 |
|
5 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Front running 3yo is a two-time Group 3 winner at 5.5f-6f; narrowly denied in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November on his last start over 5f (firm); touched off in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month (6f, gd-fm); right in the mix on official ratings and a bold bid looks likely. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Brother to last year's top-class sprinting juvenile Blackbeard; no match for a smart sort on Navan debut last month before landing odds in C&D conditions event under a positive ride when beating subsequent Queen Mary second Mighty Eriu, still green; looks the type to improve further and fitted with cheekpieces here; Ballydoyle pick and a big player if handling softer conditions. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
He's added two wins at about 1m (good and good to firm) this year and wasn't seen to best advantage at Goodwood on Sunday, unable to get a clear run until the birds ahead had flown; capable of better on this quick return. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Raised only 2lb for his wins at Nottingham in May and Newmarket last time, so looks likely to remain competitive, especially as he's a dual Goodwood scorer. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His wins have come on good or heavy ground but he's effective on good to firm; has been and up down since his win at Glorious Goodwood last summer but he scored at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and backed that up with a creditable fifth in a big field at Epsom the following month; returns after a short break but he could go well on this drop back in grade. |
