24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent in the main and versatile ground-wise, she gained a deserved big prize in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (8.5f; against fillies and mares) at Epsom in June; however, she's been beaten on her three starts since and her limitations are again likely to be exposed this afternoon. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he showed spark in Dubai this winter and ran big races on his two previous visits to York; returns to a handy on a fair mark and could have an each-way shout. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out. |

Has won just one of his last 17 races and was tailed off in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket last week; would be a shock winner. |

14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Has blown hot and cold this season, best efforts when beaten a nose in Group 2 Duke of York (6f, good) in May and when winning Group 3 at Deauville (6f, good to soft) in July; faced stiff task but well held even so in Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last week; has a chance if on a going day. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 but on a 12-race losing sequence and he ran badly on his last three starts in Dubai early this year; this is a drop in grade but he's proving increasingly hard to predict. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running. |
20/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more. |

1st 1 (6) |
28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |

Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting in 2024; campaigned over 7f-1m since that November; reappeared at Haydock (7f, good) last month having been gelded and powered clear for impressive Listed win; the drop back to 6f poses a question but the stiff track and strong pace will be in his favour, and he could have a part to play. |
10/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the Group 2 Gimcrack as a 2yo and finished second in the Group 1 City Of York (7f, good to firm) last August; made no show in two Group 1s in Australia in the autumn and he's since been gelded; returns in a much lower grade than usual and very dangerous if ready to roll after six months off. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Group 2 Gimcrack here in 2yo season in 2023; not beaten far when fifth in Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and his run here next time may have come too soon; beaten nearly 3l when second in Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) latest; may find a few too good. |
