2nd 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won on heavy as 2yo, unraced on soft; regular progress/promise (including on good to soft) in his first six handicaps, without winning; raced freely early on in the last of those when running out of steam at Royal Ascot (1m4f) but he then got his act together at Glorious Goodwood (upped to 1m6f, good to firm) three weeks ago when travelling smoothly in mid-division and going on over 1f out, before holding a hampered runner-up (who won well here on Wednesday); well treated under 4lb penalty. |

1st 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
0-6 in handicaps, with regular progress/promise but not when favourite last time at Royal Ascot where he raced freely early on and ran out of steam after challenging over 2f out (finished 8l sixth of 17); it's much too early to forget his reappearance promise (also 1m4f on good to firm) but that latest run also casts some doubt on the suitability of this new trip. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who's without a handicap win but has mostly progressed in defeat, with the exception on heavy going; came from last to third in eight-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago for a promising reappearance and the two ahead of him filled the same positions over 1m6f here on Tuesday; changed hands since and has a major chance. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Farhh half-brother to four winners, notably Oaks second Dance Sequence (7f 2yo winner, including Group 3); made an eyecatching debut and built on that when front-running second of 12 in novice at Bath (1m, heavy) 12 days ago; that's far and away the best form in this line-up. |

2nd 2 (10) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Farhh half-brother to four winners, notably Dance Sequence (7f 2yo including Group 3/runner-up in Oaks); eyecatching fifth in 7f AW contest at Kempton, making good late progress from rear while seeming green; interesting with improvement on the cards upped in trip. |

6th 3 (6) |
12th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Son of Arc winner Sottsass; made a pleasing debut when 6l third of 12 at Bath (1m, heavy; 11-1) 11 days ago, beaten by a pair with experience; likely to progress and has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

52,000gns yearling; Sottsass half-brother to four winners, notably Brutal (1m 2yo/2m hurdle); dam 1m winner, closely related to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Drumfire; major stable; this newcomer is one for the shortlist. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed some promise last season, including on the AW; got off the mark when neck-winner of a 1m6f handicap at Nottingham last time (good to firm; 20-1); up 3lb; a possible. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not taken to hurdles in a few runs lately; yet to finish placed on the Flat either and still has to prove his stamina over this far, so it's not easy making a case for him. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has shown some ability on the Flat (albeit without being placed) and wasn't disgraced when sixth on last month's hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was well beaten after racing too freely at Bangor 11 days ago. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Plenty of ability but no win after six starts; hung badly left on reappearance in April and he was eased right down in July next time; gelded before 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield one month ago, in which he nearly redeemed himself but hanging left again did not help; dam won at up to 1m6f and he may yet come good, but there are clearly risks. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has plenty of ability but he looked an awkward ride when third of nine at Nottingham (1m2f) in April and he was eased right down on handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f; 9-4) in July; gelded since and may yet redeem himself back on AW, having run well here in the past. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Favourite for handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) and improved his rating again in third of nine off this mark, but hanging badly left in the final 2f interfered with his effort; likely to stay and still has potential if he's been straightened out in his 100-day absence. |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Similar type to Eupator having made his debut in a 1m event on heavy going; only midfield (comfortably held) in that Bath race but may do better on this surface, being out of an AW winner. |

6th 6 (11) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

80,000euros yearling; by Masar and the first foal of a French 8.5f AW winner whose siblings include high-level winners Sea La Rosa (1m6f Group 1) and Deauville Legend (1m4f Group 2); the stable first string on jockey arrangements; respected debutant. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Sold for 600,000gns after winning a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good to soft) for Andrew Balding last autumn; didn't make the expected impact over hurdles for Nicky Henderson earlier this year (pulled up in Triumph at Cheltenham when last seen) but resumes his Flat career back with a yard which is in tremendous form. |
6/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who was sold for 600,000gns later in October; flopped at long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh last month; brought out just six days later for Grade 2 at Kempton (again good to soft) where he did better, but was weakening when hampered two out; should get the hang of this discipline in due course, but probably too late to feature in this finish. |
66/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who changed hands for 600,000gns last autumn; went off long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last Sunday but compromised his chance by racing freely/jumping none too fluently and could finish only fourth; it's far too soon to be writing him off but he needs a major leap forward just six days on. |

9st 9lb |
Course win (1m) on her handicap debut last April; in and out since but she ran well for second at Bath (1m, good) this April and a repeat would see her on the premises at this level; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Leicester 110 days ago. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Back from five months off in good form, set a lot to do and nearest at the finish when second of 14 in 1m Bath handicap last month; she can go well again. |
7/1 |

2nd 12 (12) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won second time out last spring and a reproduction wouldn't surprise, as she was not suited by the way the race panned out on AW comeback; on a competitive mark now for a yard enjoying a good spell and she is one to consider. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Often leads; unbeaten 3-3 on the AW but his most recent Flat win came on turf, at Sandown (1m6f, good) last July; was all the better for a break when going close at Lingfield (1m6f, good to firm) this month and seemed to handle good to soft ground over hurdles; thereabouts. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Turf/AW/hurdle winner; ran well over jumps during the winter but trailed in last on his return to the Flat at Goodwood where he ran in snatches; that was unlike him and he could bounce back. |
5/1 |

10th 1 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

The last of four Flat wins was over this trip at Sandown last summer (good; 5lb lower); has since racked up a solid sequence over hurdles; in form, consistent and respected. |

0-8 and has regressed since finishing second of four on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February; resurgence needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Initially found some improvement when upped to 1m4f on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (AW) but he's made limited impact since and the recent break and this first turf handicap need to see plenty more. |
