21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Champion 2yo last term and has bounced back from his Guineas flop to complete the Derby-Eclipse double this summer, comfortably beating Ambiente Friendly at Epsom (good to soft) then less impressive at Sandown where the deeper ground likely wasn't ideal; still managed to beat subsequent Group 1 scorer Al Riffa last time and comes to this assignment with glowing claims, especially as the long York straight should suit his relentless galloping style; highly talented and top rated. |

6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Champion 2yo last term; comfortably justified favouritism in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft) most recently, bouncing back from the 2,000 Guineas flop that remains his only defeat; tactically versatile and has a powerful engine that, reappearance aside, keeps him galloping relentlessly in the latter stages; trainer has won the Eclipse seven times; brilliant colt who is clear top rated. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Out of a Group 1 winner whose sister won the Oaks; Europe's champion 2yo, having swanned away in a Group 2 at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on second start and it wasn't any harder work in the Group 1 Dewhurst on the Rowley Mile (soft) next time; therefore it was desperately disappointing to see such a tame reappearance in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) when a remote ninth of 11, and while his trainer has been philosophical since, the average punter may feel safer on the fence for now. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
Won this event by 5l last year as a prelude to a handsome Irish St Leger success, adding to Group 1 wins in the 2022 National Stakes and in Germany in 2024; finished seventh of 24 in last year's Melbourne Cup; best of three runs this season when third in a Group 1 event over almost 2m at Longchamp; back in his comfort zone trip-wise after Ascot Gold Cup fourth. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Second at last year's Royal Ascot in the 1m4f Hardwicke and 4l winner of the 1m6f Irish St Leger; ran on strongly from out the back when seventh in the Melbourne Cup (2m) in November and ended up third to Caballo De Mar in blanket finish to a Longchamp Group 1 (nearly 2m) four weeks ago, having been last of nine 2f out; those do not mean he's an assured stayer on this move up to 2m4f but he brings among the best form and has to enter calculations. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in several Group 1s when trained by Clive Cox; returning from a year off when down the field in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot on stable debut and then ran perfectly well in a Group 3 at Goodwood, albeit one that was steadily run; unlikely he's as good as he was, but still makes plenty of appeal at this level; goes on all ground. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
He was returning from a year off when down the field in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot in June, and may have needed that first run for Kevin Philippart De Foy; classy performer for Clive Cox prior to £2,000,000 sale, making the frame in several Group 1s, and can have a big say if back to his best. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |

Sold on the eve of this meeting last year for £2,000,000 and finished a creditable third to Rebel's Romance and Al Riffa in the Group 2 Hardwicke (1m4f, good to firm) a few days later; withdrawn after rearing over being saddled up on an intended start at last year's Newmarket July meeting; subsequently left Clive Cox and hasn't been seen since. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten just a neck in this race in 2024 (good to firm) and heavy ground was against her when a below-par third 12 months ago; won the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York (1m2f, good) this May for the second year running; well beaten in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month and now 0-13 in Group 1 races, but she's still entitled to respect back against her own sex. |
9/2 |

6th 8 (6) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Secured back-to-back Group 2 Middleton wins at York (10.5f, good to firm/good) last month; went very close to making Group 1 breakthrough in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last October but beaten just over 4l by Ombudsman when third in this last year (good to firm) and it's likely that her limitations will again be exposed today. |

1st 5 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Pulverised her seven rivals in this on her second outing of last season, scoring by a whopping 12l on good to firm; couldn't quite reproduce that high-class RPR at Group 1 level in five subsequent outings in 2025 but mostly ran well, including a close second in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, soft); didn't have much to spare at the line when 1-3 for a 1m2f Nottingham Listed race on reappearance but cruised through most of that contest and will likely be a lot closer to her best this time; again the one to beat in this. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to win above Group 3 level; seemingly used as a pacemaker for higher-profile stablemates in Group 1 races of late and again looks poised to adopt that role; bottom of this pack on ratings and again likely to be swallowed up in the latter stages; wears first-time headgear. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Has never convinced beyond a mile, making it 0-4 at 1m2f/1m4f when last in a Group 2 at York in July; a repeat of his 3l fourth to Notable Speech in the Group 1 Lockinge (first-time cheekpieces) in May would guarantee a major role at this level, and he nearly won that race the previous year; has smart form on all surfaces. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Most recent success came in Group 2 at Sandown (1m, good) last April; not at best in three runs this season, including in same race and when returned to 1m2f for Group 1 at Royal Ascot five weeks ago; needs a revival. |
12/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept on for fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, having been beaten just a neck in the same Group 1 in 2025; on that latest evidence this step back up in trip is worth a go, but others arrive with stronger claims. |
