20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won two Group 1s at Newmarket last autumn (6f/7f, soft), namely the Middle Park and the Dewhurst; reappeared with excellent third in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good), where he was outstayed by the first two; unraced on fast ground; has the potential to be a top-class sprinter. |

Good-ground wins on first two runs before close second in Group 2 Gimcrack (6f, good), then enjoyed stellar autumn here with Group 1 wins in the Middle Park (6f, soft) and Dewhurst (7f, soft), becoming Champion Two-Year-Old; had a racecourse gallop here last month; stayed on well in the Dewhurst which provides optimism he'll see out 1m; a tongue-tie goes on; could have a big say, even though William Buick rides stablemate Ruling Court. |

Narrow win on debut here (7f, good) last October before mighty run in the Group 1 Dewhurst (7f, soft) at Newmarket just a week later, beaten only a neck by Shadow Of Light having raced apart from the winner; disappointed when Ballydoyle's sole contender for the 2,000 Guineas on return but it's too early to write him off. |

Narrow win on debut in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) last October and mighty run in the Group 1 Dewhurst here (7f, soft) just seven days later, when beaten only a neck by Shadow Of Light having raced apart from the winner; could have a very bright future and, with Ballydoyle's other 2,000 Guineas contenders having fallen by the wayside, he's now the sole contender for a trainer who has won this race ten times; has had a racecourse gallop; respected. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dubawi colt who is unbeaten in three starts, all at the Newmarket tracks (6f/7f, good/good to firm); absent since beating Seagulls Eleven and subsequent Royal Lodge winner Wimbledon Hawkeye in the Superlative Stakes three months ago; that race has thrown up the Dewhurst winner in two of the last three years, including Native Trail for this yard; strong contender, for all that William Buick deserts him for stablemate Shadow Of Light. |
9/4 |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Promising colt who has won a couple of Newmarket novice events (good to firm) with something to spare, latest over C&D; sire Dubawi won this race in 2004 and trainer has landed this prize four times in the last eight years; very strong credentials. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded prior to having no luck with the draw (ran okay in the circumstances) at Royal Ascot last time; best 2yo form, including placed efforts in the Superlative Stakes (at this meeting) and Curragh Group 1, gives him a fighting chance on these terms. |
16/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Highly tried since sole win (7f, good to firm) last June, making frame in National Stakes and Dewhurst before finishing down the field at the Breeders' Cup and in the 2,000 Guineas; no forlorn hope on best form, and he's been gelded since his last run, but he does need to get back on track. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Trainer won this in 2016 with this colt's sire Galileo Gold; third to Scorthy Champ in National Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good) last September then not seen to best effect in the Dewhurst (on soft ground) and at the Breeders' Cup (wide trip); however, improvement needed to pose a threat. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 40y |
9st 10lb |
99-rated colt's sole win came in a 7f Galway maiden (yielding) last July; highly tried subsequently to no avail and failed to make an impact when sights lowered in a 1m2f Royal Ascot handicap latest; a bit to prove right now. |
13/8 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won maiden at Galway last July but played minor supporting roles in Group 1s later as 2yo and it's been the same this term in Group 3s and a Listed race; blinkered in the latter 16 days ago over 1m4f, having appeared at 7f and 1m2f earlier this season; made the running last two starts; makes handicap debut but it's still hard to be confident that he's got what it takes. |
40/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Talented enough colt but invariably plays second fiddle to better-fancied stablemates, including both starts this term at this venue, fourth of five in Derby Trial latest when acting as a pacemaker; Moore prefers Acapulco Bay. |
