16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded before reappearing in May with a Listed win at Haydock (7f, good to firm); however, he needs a bigger performance to take this and three lesser runs have followed in Group races; the last two were in blinkers, which are now joined by a tongue-tie. |

9st 6lb |
Gelded before reappearing in May and winning a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good to firm); however, he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and two lesser runs have followed in Group 3 races (7f/6f, good/AW); the latest was in first-time blinkers, which are retained. |

9st 5lb |
0-4 over 1m+ last year; dropped in trip and made all in 7f Listed race at Haydock in May but didn't give his running in Group 3 over same C&D three weeks later; now runs in a sprint for the first time since his (winning) debut and also tackles the AW for the first time, so he has a bit to prove, although first-time blinkers could have a positive effect. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Money-spinner for connections down the years; recent efforts have suggested he retains a good deal of his ability and his handicap mark is easing; beaten only 3l in a 7f Group 1 at this meeting 12 months ago; each-way shout. |
33/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Having edged down the weights he offered a good deal more when third to Tuco Salamanca at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June; finished with a flourish when seventh behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run that confirmed he was still in good order; returning to 6f will help and he can't be dismissed, for all that he has been well beaten in this race twice before (2022 and 2025). |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Six runs at Ascot have yielded two Group 3 wins (6f) as well as a third in a Group 1 over C&D; back to form with a good third in a competitive AW handicap (6f) two weeks ago; 1lb rise not insurmountable; respected. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Won the Group 2 Mill Reef on heavy as a juvenile but missed all of his 3yo campaign and has yet to convince that he's the same force this season, latterly finishing well behind in the International here; however, there's always a chance the first-time visor might trigger something and he'll go on the ground; wouldn't put a line through him. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo over 6f in 2023, winning the Mill Reef on heavy ground; missed last season but has shown signs of retaining ability, including over 7f, this year; switches to a handicap for the first time and could go well, albeit needs a career-best performance to defy his mark. |

9st 2lb |
Lightly raced half-brother to Frankel and went very close in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot last June (7f, good to firm); could improve for this month's reappearance here (2l fourth of five in Listed race) but others have greater substance to their claims; peak efforts on fast ground. |

9st 10lb |
Looked an exciting prospect when narrowly denied in last year's Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) on just his fourth start; that made his three subsequent defeats (including fourth to Tiber Flow in Hungerford at Newbury) a little underwhelming but no surprise were he to bounce back with a bang on reappearance for a stable in very good form. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) in June 2024 and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) two months later; has had only two runs since then but latest was a creditable second in a Listed event at Haydock last May; now returns after another lengthy absence but he has a good strike-rate and needs a close look for in-form yard. |

9st 10lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt over C&D last June and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Kikkuli fourth) two months later; probably unsuited by very testing ground when well held in French Group 1 final start; escapes a penalty for those Group wins but he's taken a couple of runs to find his best form in the last two seasons. |
