15th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Smart globetrotter who is the winner of three US Graded races; finished fourth in UAE Group 1 on last appearance; record of 4-5 at this course features wins in this contest for the last two years (started favourite both times); holds very solid claims in his bid to become the first horse to land the Earl of Sefton three times. |

17th Apr 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Did very well at this course in 2022 and 6-4 favourite when winning this race last year (good to soft) in clearcut style, coming from last to first in a seven-runner race; also won in the USA last May; this year's build-up at Meydan has not been quite so persuasive as last year's, with a short-priced flop on latest outing, but the ground here should not be an issue and a return to his form of 12 months ago would make him the one to beat. |

9st 5lb |
Held up; Meydan improvement (mostly on on fast ground) was backed up when third in 1m1f Group 3 here in April but, after 116 days off, it's his fourth of seven in Haydock Group 3 (1m2f, good) nine weeks ago on latest start which makes him a leading contender on form. |

4th 1 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won handicap debut at 2024 Newmarket July meeting and next seen adding 1m1f handicap and 1m2f Group 3 wins at Meydan in January; ran creditably in defeat since in a Group 2 there and Group 3 at Newmarket but today's company demands much better, including as he gives weight to all; off 116 days. |

3rd 1 (3) |
15th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who is 2-3 at the Newmarket tracks and 3-4 since wearing a hood; campaigned at Meydan this year, unsuited by steady pace when beaten favourite in Group 2 most recently; incurs 3lb penalty for Group 3 success the time before but may still have further progress in him. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Smart 3yo on the Flat; just 1-5 over hurdles, and his habit of racing far too freely remains a worry, but he wasn't beaten far in a valuable novices' handicap at Sandown (2m, good) last month and is in much calmer waters here. |
11/10 |

8th 13 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Showed smart Flat form as a 3yo; managed to win in December but has otherwise broadly been too free for his own good since switched to hurdles; ideally needs to settle better. |
33/1 |

4th 1 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
High-class Flat performer at his best who has taken well to hurdles, winning at Huntingdon in December before pulling too hard and disappointing on handicap debut back there two weeks later; key player with Alex Chadwick offsetting 3lb of his penalty now back in novice company. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
1m4f winner from the front (under Mason Paetel) at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; had a bit to prove on AW (and over 2m on Flat) when always behind at Kempton three weeks ago but should be benefited from that run. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
1m4f winner from the front (under Mason Paetel) at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) in November; not seen since tailed off trying nearly 3m in December; returns to Flat with a bit to prove on AW and over 2m on Flat. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Career-best effort on the Flat when bagging a 1m4f course handicap (good) in May; found out off higher marks in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot and Northumberland Plate at Newcastle the following month; in common with stablemate East India Rock, he's been given a three-month break ahead of this step up to Listed company; has something to find on form with a couple of these. |
