Solid promise over 1m last autumn, finishing 2l fourth at Sandown (good) then scoring by 1l at York (soft); this half-brother to nine winners should be capable of further progress; in the mix.

Three wins (1m-1m2f, soft/good to soft) from his first four starts, including two Listed races; his progress has stalled on good going on his two starts since but one was the Group 1 Champion Stakes and the other was last month's reappearance (here); it's too soon to label him a slow-ground specialist and he's not written off in view of his abundant earlier promise.

Record is 3-5; has gained all wins, including two Listed races, in his starts on softer than good but may yet show that he's fully effective on faster ground; drops back in class having been comfortably held in the Champion Stakes; top on the figures and he was progressive before that latest start.

Second of three in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud last October (1m2f, heavy) and respectable seventh of 18 in the Derby 13 days ago (1m4f, good); back down in grade today but his eight starts have yielded just one win, in a maiden at Yarmouth, and he's probably vulnerable once more.

Dam won five Group races at up to 1m4f and was touched off in the Irish Oaks; six 2yo runs yielded one win at 1m1f before seconds in Group races over 1m2f at Newmarket (good to soft) and Saint-Cloud (heavy); this new trip should suit but he dropped right out at Newmarket (1m1f) in April.

Newmarket Listed race (1m1f, good to soft; 7-1) in April saw him tailed off, but he'd earlier won his only 2yo start (AW) and went on to score at Nottingham (1m2f, good) this May in another novice; 6-4 favourite in the latter but looked an unlikely winner at one stage before battling back to see off three challengers headed by Boatswain; gelded three days later and that performance suggests that 1m4f for this handicap debut will suit him well.

Sole win remains his maiden as 2yo, admittedly appearing mostly in Group races since; gelded before penultimate start but also put in his place since in a Listed race and valuable handicap; hooded today, having tried cheekpieces and blinkers in June; this is a new trip but it's hard to have much confidence in him right now.

Won for Sir Michael Stoute at two; highly tried since that maiden win and was gelded prior to finishing third of four in a small-field Listed race at Windsor two weeks ago (extended 1m3f); on the verge of becoming a tad disappointing, but this is his handicap debut and he tries soft ground for the first time.

Has run respectably on soft; hooded on last two starts, with a back-to-form second of six when stepped up to 1m2f for C&D handicap (good) on 2026 reappearance; raised 5lb since and probably not straightforward but that was a promising effort here from out the back (ran on well with too much to do) and he has to be in serious calculations.

Made it three wins from his first four starts when scoring on handicap debut at Hamilton (8.3f, good) last July; his progress stalled in two Listed races subsequently but this lightly raced 4yo has been gelded since and the return to better ground could be a positive, along with the step up in trip; retains potential for a top trainer who won this in 2018 and 2019; respected.
