16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
10st 0lb |
2024 Irish Derby winner and Arc third; also boasts strong 1m2f form, including a close fourth in Irish Champion; beat White Birch in a C&D Group 2 in May and battled well to deny Anmaat over an extra half-furlong in Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup later that month; never looked happy in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes; will be hard to beat at this level if restored to form. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
2024 Irish Derby winner and Arc third at 1m4f; four of his last five races have been at about 1m2f, though, notably when a close fourth in Irish Champion last September and when having to pull out all the stops at the Curragh in his two outings this season, all on good ground (acts on good to firm); latest was the 10.5f Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in which he battled back to deny Anmaat, but it's a protracted struggle rather than a rapier thrust which is likely to see him to best effect and he might just be vulnerable. |

25th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Last year's Derby third and Irish Derby winner; top-class form at 1m2f when close up fourth in Irish Champion Stakes before fine third in the Arc; race possibly came too soon when flopped 13 days later back at 1m2f in Champion Stakes; stout display on return when mastering White Birch in the Mooresbridge, though the runner-up emerged with at least as much credit. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
2024 Queen's Vase winner; second in last year's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and runner-up again in the Goodwood Cup (2m, good); flopped when favourite for the Irish St Leger won by Al Riffa; satisfactory return in Ormonde at Chester before a dismal Coronation Cup run; bounced back from that when landing the Queen Alexandra. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finished runner-up in last year's Gold Cup here (good to firm) and second again in the Goodwood version (2m, good), only narrowly failing to concede 14lb to Scandinavia; crystal clear claims on these favourable terms if returning to that level of form but he wasn't at his best when bidding for a second Ormonde at Chester and ran abysmally in the recent Coronation Cup when under the pump from a worryingly early stage (unwise to blame the rain-hit ground when he has soft-ground form); hard to dismiss but in equal measure he's hard to trust. |
3/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in two Cup races last term; only a neck behind stablemate Jan Brueghel in the 2024 St Leger but was beaten about 5l by that opponent last month when bidding for a second success in the Ormonde at Chester, doing nothing to close their current ratings differential; perhaps in here to set the pace and ensure a proper test. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
No wins since landing two of his first four starts having been highly tried in the meantime, but he has a consistent record in Group/Listed company shy of the top level (22363522); again ran well when chasing home the smart Damysus on his return in the Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; shortlisted with the run under his belt. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well in defeat last season in Group 2s at this meeting (1m4f, good to firm) and at York (1m4f, good to firm); gelded in the off-season; this lightly raced 4yo is in top hands and may have needed last month's reappearance run at York, but improvement is required in first-time cheekpieces. |
