9st 11lb |
Half-brother to 1m Group 2 winner Move Swiftly; absent since holding on well to beat 14 rivals on debut at Newmarket (7f, good) last November but will be very hard to beat if somewhere near that form here; gelded in July. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
260,000gns yearling; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten a neck into second of 15 on his Newmarket debut (7f, good; 11-4) in November 2024; related to AW winners and is a fascinating contender on return from 18 months off, especially if the market speaks positively. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
100-1 for the Derby at Epsom but showed improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; similar form later last summer in Group 3s at Newmarket and Newbury; gelded in March and some improvement is needed but he is lightly raced and may be capable of it. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
100-1 for the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good) but showed improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; again stuck to his task well when creditable second of five to a very classy winner in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m5f, good to firm) and this lightly raced 3yo could still prove capable of better; considered. |

2nd 3 (4) |

Finished third in the Lingfield trial, then was an outsider in the Derby but appeared to show further improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; possibilities back down in class with this longer distance worth exploring. |

9st 7lb |
400,000euros yearling who was drawn rather away from the action on his 7f Newmarket debut 12 days ago; that run was probably better than it looked and he's considered now upped in trip (stamina on the dam's side). |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect. |

1st 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Runaway winner at Lingfield (7f) last autumn but has not built on that, always in rear when dropped in trip for Listed sprint at Newbury last month; this looks a stiff task but at least returning to 7f should help. |
33/1 |
|
7th 6 (11) |
17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won by clear daylight at Lingfield (7f, AW) last autumn and ran pretty well in the Group 3 Greenham here on reappearance; gave the impression he failed to stay 1m when third in conditions race at Goodwood since; improvement required but today's drop in trip could be a catalyst for just that. |

9st 7lb |
Made second handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1m) last May; creditable third on next three starts (including 7f) before failing to fire in cheekpieces (which are quickly discarded) on final 3yo outing; reappears with his stable back in form and high on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |
2/1 |
|
7 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Just got the better of Frostmagic over C&D in April and has been placed in all three starts since, the latest when third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; a player from the same mark, especially if the cheekpieces eke out a little more improvement. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Improving colt who has strong handicap form this term and is 2-2 since upped to 1m4f, last time winning at Royal Ascot (good to firm) where he beat the subsequent Irish Derby runner-up; very much a Group performer in the making and commands major respect upped further in class. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Favourite for his two handicaps this season, both on good to firm and the win was never in doubt through the last 3f at York last time on his step up to 1m4f; 8lb rise demands more from him but he was impressive at York and the form has been boosted; Group 1 King George entry here next month. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (8) |
15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Edged it in the second of two very close finishes over about 1m on AW in December; failed to justify 11-10 favouritism in seven-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance 11 days ago but kept edging closer to go down by a length and 1m4f now seems plausible. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won an AW maiden at Newcastle in September before coming up short in a Listed contest at Redcar; finished off the year with a third in a York handicap (7f, good to soft) in October; has since left the Crisfords and has been gelded; must come into consideration on his debut for an in-form yard. |

3rd 3 (6) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Steadily progressive on AW, enjoying the run of the race when beating a subsequent winner in a 7f maiden at Newcastle last month; pitched into a Listed race at Redcar last time and came up well short; this should be more manageable and he still has time on his side. |
8/1 |

9th 7 (8) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has a steadily progressive profile, coming good in a 7f Newcastle maiden 15 days ago, but a big step forward will be needed if he's to follow up in this much higher grade; first turf start since his debut. |

3rd 4 (9) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

575,000gns yearling; by Frankel out of 1000 Guineas heroine Attraction so his pedigree is out of the top drawer; dropped away from over 1f out when the stable second string in a Newmarket novice last November (7f, good); surely capable of better this year but El Matador looks the stable's main hope. |
