28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Used to represent same connections as Liberty Lane but performed near his best only a couple of times last season, including when a promoted fourth in this race (good); had gelding and wind operations before well beaten on reappearance in June in first-time headgear; sold for 35,000gns 19 days ago; one of his handicap wins was on good to soft and the other three were on soft, neither of which is likely today. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins in 2024 included this race on good to soft, with the other three on soft; performed near his best only a couple of times last season, which has been followed by gelding and wind operations; also now wears first-time headgear; some warning signals and he's not slipped far in the weights. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with a couple of soft-ground wins, including edging out Peace Man in this; back to near best when fourth off top weight in warm Glorious Goodwood handicap (good) and not disgraced when fifth in Longchamp Group 3 and Goodwood Listed event since; one of two solid contenders for connections. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Edged out by Bolster in this race on soft ground 12 months ago; below that level in three outings this year, although he might have needed it after a break when behind Bolster and Okeechobee at Goodwood latest; first-time cheekpieces go on. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Below par in last three appearances, latest over C&D four months ago; progressive previously and ties in closely with Bolster on Newmarket Listed running (1m2f, soft) last November; possibilities if back to that form. |

2nd 2 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Had 1m4f wins last season in a Group 3 at Newbury (good to firm) in May and Group 2 in Italy (good; made all for career-best form) in October; tailed off in Hong Kong on final start but has a shout if back to his best. |

4th 1 (1) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in 2,000 Guineas here in 2022 prior to long absence; back to his best when winning the Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) in May; unraced since and carries a 5lb penalty today but he goes well fresh and could play another leading role. |
15/2 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Good fourth in 2,000 Guineas in 2022, then absent for nearly two years; close second in Listed contest at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last September and has run some respectable races in defeat since; it's possible he has some untapped potential at this trip but others have more substance to their claims. |

2nd 1 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
One of three runners for yard; a record of 4-18; won the Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes over C&D last year before a fourth in this race; has won two Group 2s this year, at Riyadh in January (1m7f) and the latest at Longchamp over 1m6f; this trip might be too sharp and he is penalised 5lb. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Generally consistent performer who wasn't disgraced on bare figures at Chester (1m5f) last time but finished almost 8l behind Jan Brueghel, getting nowhere near to defying a penalty for his Group 2 Saudi handicap win (1m7f); faces a stiff task and needs help from first-time headgear. |
66/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful for current yard; has been on his travels this year, winning 1m7f handicap at Riyadh then creditable fourth over 2m at Meydan, both Group 2; however, incurs 5lb penalty and faces a stiffer assignment conceding weight all round in this field. |

2nd 8 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but ran well when third of 13 at York (1m, good to firm) in July; slow starts haven't helped his cause twice since (blindfold off late first occasion) and he has been given a chance by the handicapper if breaking on terms. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but has dropped down the weights and he ran well when third of 13 at York (1m, good to firm) in July; had an excuse back there last time, when the blindfold was removed late; not ruled out each-way. |

14th 7 (6) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but has dropped down the weights and was 4l third of 13 to The Lost King over C&D (good to firm) last month; each-way claims if acting on the ground; his last win came on heavy going but subsequent slow-ground form has been mixed. |
