7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
By Dubawi out of a much admired mare who won 13 races, including six Grade/Group 1s at up to about 1m, and who has bred a 1m6f Group 1 winner; became well seasoned during a 2yo career which ended with a hard-fought second in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, soft) and has returned with two Group 3 wins at Leopardstown (1m2f; on good to yielding and good), the former from Lambourn and announcing new depths in the latter; still improving and he won't mind what the weather does. |

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. |

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. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field in first-time cheekpieces in the Derby but was maybe unsuited by tricky Epsom (he became unbalanced on the undulating Rowley Mile previously in career); prior to that he stayed on well for fifth in the Group 2 Dante at York (10.2f, good to firm) and he could tap back into that promise to produce an improved performance now back at a more conventional track for his second attempt at 1m4f; blinkers now given a go; interesting. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Frankel colt whose dam never won beyond 6f but she bred a dual Grade 1 winner at 1m1f and her high-class siblings, including St Leger winner Logician, weren't short of staying power; he didn't have the clout for the Group 3 at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) won by Delacroix from Stanhope Gardens in October, for Sir Michael Stoute, but he was always likely to make a better 3yo; this might come too soon in his career but he was one of a few to come home strongly in the Group 2 Dante at York (about 1m2f, good to firm); now has cheekpieces fitted; the best is yet to come. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won Yarmouth maiden (7f, good to firm) last September for the now-retired Sir Michael Stoute; no threat in Group 3 and Listed races at Newmarket the next twice (1m/1m1f, good to soft), most recently on last month's stable and seasonal debut, but on each occasion he made late headway after appearing unsuited by the track, and today's flat course could prompt improvement. |

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. |

1,250,000euros yearling; third foal; half-brother to French 8.3f winner So Spirit; dam placed French 9.5f AW (RPR 75), closely related to 1m-1m1f Group 1 winner Persian King, out of 10.5f winning close relative of 10.5f Group 1 winner Planteur; fascinating newcomer and he needs a look. |

Ballydoyle colt whose promise over 1m last term featured a Punchestown maiden win (on good ground) and creditable effort in Newmarket Group 3 won by smart stablemate Delacroix who has developed into a major Derby contender; could be well treated and commands respect. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Followed his 2yo maiden win with a second at Group 2 level but that is as good as it's got; didn't smack of a Britannia winner when only fifth of seven in a conditions race on the AW, albeit a valuable one won by the French Derby third Detain; gelded in the meantime and tries cheekpieces; topweights have struggled down the years. |

Down the field in Group races last autumn on final two starts; however, before those he looked promising when runner-up in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f) on his second outing, and it's possible a break will have helped; not ruled out. |
