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. |

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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 winner as a 2yo; came up dry in 3yo season but plenty of good runs in defeat, including when placing in the 2000 Guineas here (1m, good); has a tendency to race keenly at times, as he did when beaten a nose dropped to Listed company on seasonal return at Navan (1m1f, good), splitting Isaac Newton and Geryon; cheekpieces look a good addition and he should go well again. |
100/30 |

3rd 3 (7) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up. |

4th 6 (6) |

9st 3lb |
Beat Delacroix in last year's Futurity at Doncaster; has failed to make a major impact this season, including behind Delacroix in the Eclipse; did not have much luck in running before staying on late in the Saratoga Derby six weeks ago; up against it. |

9st 5lb |
Enjoyed fine 2yo campaign, notably Group 1 National Stakes win on this weekend on good ground; three runs in first half of this season well below that level however, including beaten 6.25l in Irish 2,000 Guineas and when not looking to stay 1m2f in Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud in June; returns from a break with plenty to prove, including on soft ground. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Inexperience evident when 2l third of four in Group 2 Futurity here (7f, good) last August on his second start; more professional when winning Group 1 National Stakes here (7f, good) in September by a neck from Henri Matisse; possibly stretched by this trip when seventh in 2,000 Guineas on return, weakening late on; others preferred. |

9st 2lb |
Proved well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, notwithstanding two wins (7f/1m2f); comfortably on top in Ovrevoll handicap (8.5f) in latest start for a Norwegian stable that he has joined this year; however, faces a markedly harder assignment in this field. |

9st 6lb |
Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner 1m2f Navan contest in July when dropped in grade; tame effort in handicap company latest and now drops back to 1m; opposable. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner Navan contest over this trip in July when dropped in grade; no show in Group 3 Royal Whip over C&D latest; stiff task back in handicap company. |
