18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who is progressive in the main; justified favouritism in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (good to yielding) most recently, taking his form figures over 1m2f to 11121 and overall strike-rate to 6-11; unable to match Ombudsman's late acceleration in the International but had got up late on to collar that rival in the Eclipse and is set for another gripping rematch. |

1st 5 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won two Derby trials over C&D and bounced back from Epsom failure to win the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); deserved much credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on, having found trouble in running in the straight; beaten by the same top-class rival at York; reputation largely restored all the same; major player for stable denied six in a row in this last year. |

2nd 6 (3) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won two Derby trials this spring and bounced back from Derby disappointment to win the Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he deserves immense credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on last time having found trouble in running in the straight and got behind, and it was a performance that suggests he could take plenty of beating today. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Pushed Eclipse winner Delacroix close in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last October and ran a fine race when fifth in the Derby (1m4f, good) last month, losing two places close home; appeals as a type whose best days still lie ahead and this trip could be ideal. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dam's winning siblings include Romsdal, placed in the Derby and St Leger; dug in late for a promising third to Ruling Court on Sandown 7f debut as 2yo and ended the season by making Delacroix pull out most of the stops in a Newmarket Group 3 (1m, good to soft); had a gift of a reappearance at Salisbury recently but if he's made the same progress over the winter as some of his rivals he'd be on the premises. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Delivered on debut promise when eased-down winner of Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) last summer and was close second to subsequent Group 1 Futurity second Delacroix in Newmarket Group 3 (1m, good to soft) in the autumn; holds multiple Group 1 entries for the season ahead and ought to be very hard to beat here. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win remains his maiden as 2yo, admittedly appearing mostly in Group races since; gelded before penultimate start but also put in his place since in a Listed race and valuable handicap; hooded today, having tried cheekpieces and blinkers in June; this is a new trip but it's hard to have much confidence in him right now. |
10/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won for Sir Michael Stoute at two; highly tried since that maiden win and was gelded prior to finishing third of four in a small-field Listed race at Windsor two weeks ago (extended 1m3f); on the verge of becoming a tad disappointing, but this is his handicap debut and he tries soft ground for the first time. |
10/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Yarmouth maiden winner (7f, good to firm) for Sir Michael Stoute last September; has been taking on exalted company in his last three starts, including when a far-from-disgraced fifth of 11 in the Dante at York (1m2f, good to firm); gelded since sixth of nine in the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); no surprise if he goes well; no headgear today. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Cost 1,250,000euros as a yearling; his stable has won the last four renewals of this race and the horse (stablemate of Stanhope Gardens) this colt beat with relative comfort at Haydock (1m, good to soft) won by 8l this week; impressed with the way he picked up from off the pace last time and he's clearly a smart prospect. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish; didn't need to run up to his best when a narrow winner of a Stratford maiden last month (2m, good to firm; 1-2 shot, first run after wind op); well beaten in decent 1m4f York handicap last week; obvious contender on first try at 2m4f. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Formerly with Aidan O'Brien and Denis Hogan; well held on the Flat in Ireland this April; had wind surgery after failing to land the odds (bled from nose) in a maiden hurdle in June on debut for Faye Bramley; no mistake at 1-2 in a similar event at Stratford in July, which is far removed from today's task, though, and a big career best is needed on this. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win in his first 18 starts but he doubled his tally when coming from off the pace to score at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 3lb but that was a brave win and he shaped as though this trip should be within range; respected. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

Winless since his debut in 2024 and he arrives below par, only sixth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last time; also has his stamina to prove. |
4/1 |

6th 7 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Second in a Group 2 for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo before proving hard to place last year; found his level again but twice turned over at short prices recently (latest third has been boosted since) and has stamina to prove upped from 1m back on the AW. |
