1st 8 (6) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has made a smooth transition to Group level, winning the Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) then creditable second in the Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good); bred to stay this new trip; still open to further progress and remains of strong interest. |
9/4 |

2nd 9 (3) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Well-bred colt; has had just four races, scoring with more authority than a small winning margin suggests when making much of the running in Group 3 at Goodwood (good to firm) six weeks ago; has raced only at 1m but has plenty of speed and should be at least as effective at 7f; may well take another step forward and he's an exciting contender. |

2nd 3 (5) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Successful in two notable handicaps over C&D (good/soft) this season and has a Group prize in him; defied top weight in the Cambridgeshire most recently, having raced on the favoured side admittedly but the bare form is smart; commands respect with the track and trip firmly in his favour. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent and well beaten in this last year when the fast ground may not have suited; however, he won in good style over C&D (good) in May and returned to form with a neck second at Doncaster (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has won twice on soft going and is capable of playing a leading role. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has an up-and-down profile but smart on his day, notably in winning a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; found all the trouble going at Epsom in June and then midfield at York last time in a deep race; on a tough mark but has some class about him and races prominently, which might be an asset with no recognised front-runners in the field. |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has recorded two really good efforts at Newmarket since belatedly returning to the track this autumn, going down by only a nose in Listed race over 1m2f latterly; prominent showing assured if transferring that form to AW (debut when fourth on previous attempt). |

Contrasting results back in US the last twice, running well in the Arlington Million then disappointingly when bidding for a second win in the Mint Millions Stakes; had wind surgery since and may rebound. |

9st 4lb |
Won the Dante at 3; wasn't far off his best when third in 1m3f Southwell conditions race in February (AW debut) but comfortably held in Group races on turf since, albeit he might have needed his latest run at Newmarket after six months off. |

Won the Dante and runner-up in US Grade 1 last season; failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, latest over C&D in April; difficult to support unless the market suggests a revival is on the cards. |

Listed scorer on turf in 2023 but has lacked consistency since and isn't sure to build on his respectable effort in that grade over C&D last month; mark is back up 4lb for this return to handicap level. |

30th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Goes well on soft and acts on heavy; has won once in each of the last four seasons, bagging Listed honours this term at Sandown (1m2f) in July; respectable Group 3 efforts on next two starts but he needs to bounce back from a poor show at Newmarket 18 days ago; big player if he does. |
