7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Yarmouth winner who was gelded after disappointing in the Chesham at Royal Ascot; next seen when going down narrowly in a big-field nursery at York (7f, good to firm; very competitive); saw that race out well and stepping up to 1m can only benefit him. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Frankel colt who scored tidily on his 6f Yarmouth debut (good to soft) in May and the second and third have franked the form since; on the back of that he went off 100-30 for the Chesham at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) but was beaten 14l into seventh; subsequently gelded; remains a very useful prospect for his top stable. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Frankel colt who cost 625,000euros as a yearling; 11-10 favourite, slowly away but eventually picked up well to score tidily at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) and looks open to any amount of progress; interesting prospect. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Eyecatching debut here over 7f (good to firm) and then justified a shade of odds-on with no bother at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy); faces a different calibre of opposition here but it's been an encouraging start. |

1st 5 (4) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a well-connected mare and overcame clear inexperience when staying on from the rear for third on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; ought to be more streetwise here and could be hard to beat. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
In reasonably good form and beat all bar one of the 3yos in Ayr contest (1m) last time but looks no certainty to go one better in this bigger race; it remains over two years since his sole success. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has run to a useful level on his last three starts; soft ground might be the main obstacle for him today. |

4th 11 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Two quick runs at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, beaten only 2l when fifth of 20 on the Wednesday (7f, good to firm) then seventh of 18 in the Golden Mile on the Friday (good to firm) when he would have been closer with a clear run; it's possible he'll be involved; unproven on slow ground. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has a progressive profile and made it three wins from eight attempts when easily making all at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last November; subsequently gelded; a 10lb rise means he'll need another personal best but he's a low-mileage 4yo who may have more in the tank. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who returned with cracking thirds in 1m1f/1m Goodwood handicaps in August; didn't find much after moving up looking a threat at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month but the Goodwood efforts are solid and he's given another chance. |

3rd Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Listed runner-up at Salisbury (1m) last August on second start, behind subsequent Grade 1 winner, then won Listed race at Haydock (1m); soft ground and the undulations may not have suited at Newmarket in the Royal Lodge; one of the leading form contenders on his reappearance and AW debut. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
250,000gns son of Frankel; unraced on softer than good; won at Salisbury on debut and gave subsequent big-race winner New Century plenty to think about in three-runner, 1m Listed race at same course (1m); registered his own Listed success in eight-runner race at Haydock (1m) three weeks ago, travelling best and asserting in good style once he got in the clear, so he brings good form and plenty of promise. |

Debut scorer at Ffos Las (7f) in August and advanced his form when last of three in 1m Salisbury conditions event on his return; goes up in trip for his handicap debut here and needs considering. |

3rd 3 (3) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Created pretty good impression when clearcut winner of Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, soft) on debut last August but finished of eight last when upped to Listed level the following month and we haven't seen him again since; stable has much stronger claims with Stanhope Gardens. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive gelding who was going back-to-back when landing valuable York handicap (1m, good to soft) at the Ebor festival last month; transitioned to Group races when pushing Persica very close at Haydock (1m, heavy) three weeks ago; those efforts came on softer ground than is forecast but it's possible he's simply improving; player. |
7/1 |

2nd 5 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 5-13, with four of those wins coming in eight races since gelded; tackles his first Group race after back-to-back wins in 1m handicaps at York, the latest gained in convincing fashion on good to soft (unraced on slower); with the wind in his sails he's not easily dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
1st 5 (15) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Added to his two AW wins early this year when scoring over C&D (good to firm) last month; 6lb higher in hotter race today but this lightly raced 4yo is progressive; unraced on slow turf but dam's family excelled on it. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Listed winner at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last May and added a Group 2 win at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) last July; soundly beaten in Group 1 races on her two starts this season and she could do with settling better than at the Curragh last month, but not written off back down in grade. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Progressive last term, landing a Listed event at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) and the Group 2 Prix de Malleret at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft); struggled in the Yorkshire Oaks and Prix de l'Opéra; again set a stiff task on reappearance at Longchamp; up against it. |
