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. |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but backpedalling from over 3f out when just 9-1 at Royal Ascot; needs to bounce back in first-time headgear but his sights are lowered. |
9/2 |

14th 7 (18) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably last summer in the Derby and two 1m5f Group 3s, while coming up well short; absent 259 days before his fourth of eight on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; Hopewell Rock third) seven weeks ago, which was actually his best form and the first two also dominated a 1m6f handicap here on Tuesday, but he needs to build on that. |
14/1 |

4th 2 (9) |
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. |

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). |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Clear best in the 2025 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f) but was pulled up (lost action) in only subsequent start last term and has failed to show his form this year; drop back to 6f had no effect last time; enough to prove. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
7f AW win as a 2yo; enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 12 months ago; only seen twice since, pulling up at Goodwood last July and then finishing a remote last of five in a French Group 3 (soft ground) last month; not solid but he'll be a danger to all if back near that Jersey Stakes form. |
11/1 |

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. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a breakthrough victory over C&D last May but ended 2025 with a poor run over C&D and has fared no better in handicaps at Chepstow (7f) and Salisbury (1m) this season; not easy to make a case for. |

Scored on AW last spring and subsequently ran well over C&D; on good mark if judged on those exploits but ended last season with a below-par effort and was well beaten when returning last month; now has a point to prove. |

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 |

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. |

9st 12lb |
Won a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) for the Crisfords last September; having been gelded he has only managed midfield finishes in both starts since returning for this yard last month, albeit he met trouble on the first occasion; could fare better with cheekpieces given a go. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won an AW maiden at Newcastle (7f) last September and ended his 3yo campaign for the Crisford stable with a good of 13 in a Yarmouth handicap (7f, good to soft) in October; having been gelded he was sent off favourite to make a winning start for William Haggas over 1m at Salisbury three weeks ago, but failed to pick up having had to switch to get a run; quickly reverts to 7f and remains with potential for his new yard; stall 18 not ideal, though. |

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. |

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. |
