27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The Chesham winner (good to firm) who didn't look at home on the undulations of Goodwood when beaten for the first time in a strong edition of the Group 2 Vintage Stakes; got himself firmly back on track when perhaps unfortunate not to have won Sandown's Group 3 Solario Stakes having been bumped quite severely late on; leads the way on Topspeed/RPR figures and promises to be even better at 1m. |

2nd 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced colt whose winning form, including in the Chesham (7f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot, has substance; only seventh of ten when 5-1 in a Goodwood Group 2 since but may still do better. |
4/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Recruited by these powerhouse owners after beating a bucketload of subsequent winners at Newbury (6f, good) and maintained his unbeaten record in the Chesham at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm), in which he dug deep late on after making most of the running; it didn't look the strongest renewal of that Listed race and the second has since been turned over at long odds-on; he still commands respect as a good looker with more to offer; two recent winners of this had won the Chesham. |

Has shown further improvement at Meydan this year and landed the Jumeirah 2,000 Guineas (1m, good; Listed) by 1l most recently, taking overall record to 3-5; the form received a boost of sorts at Newmarket this week; sole Newbury effort, namely close second in strong maiden (6f) last May, has worked out very well; solid claims. |

500,000gns breeze-up 2yo; sent off 7-2 favourite when beaten a short head into second of 18 behind Humidity on his Newbury debut (6f, good) in May; the form of that race has worked out spectacularly well and although it is a concern he has been absent since, he should still take all the beating; holds an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry. |

9st 10lb |
All starts on good; beaten under 3l by subsequent Windsor Castle winner on 5f debut last May then finished third to subsequent Chesham winner at Newbury (6f) a fortnight later; latter event worked out extremely well so disappointing he couldn't get the job done at Bath (odds-on) the following month; not seen since but good chance of making a successful handicap debut/reappearance if ready and tapping back into that initial promise. |

Out of a Queen Mary winner for his connections; showed ability when fourth at Goodwood (5f; has produced winners) on debut and stepped up on that when third at Newbury (6f, also good) three weeks ago; latter race is working out strongly and he holds clear claims. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won a maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his second run as a 2yo; creditable efforts in Listed/Group 3 events afterwards (5f-7f); only had to match that form to win a 6f conditions event at Wolverhampton on his return in April and he was put in his place in Listed race at Newbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked but this looks a tough mark and the return to 5f isn't enough to tempt. |

9st 9lb |
Gelded prior to this campaign which he kicked off with clearcut maiden win on AW and he then finished good third of 14 in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m, good to firm); drawn on the wrong side when finishing midfield in his group in the Britannia on the straight mile here last month; earlier Carlisle form puts him in the picture. |

21th 26 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
0-5 as a 2yo but there was plenty of encouragement, including a 2l defeat here behind Laureate Crown; gelded prior to this campaign which he kicked off with a clearcut maiden win on the AW (1m) and he then held his own in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle won by Blue Courvoisier; he was only 100-30 for that and unlucky not to be closer than 2l; yet another to bear in mind. |
22/1 |

3rd 11 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |

Made the running when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with an easy 10l win at 2-5 in a maiden at Southwell (1m, AW; made all) in March and looks well treated today, given that his mark is unaltered since that win. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced at Group level but looks highly progressive after finishing well on top in a valuable conditions race over Deauville's extended 6f (soft) a month ago (the second has since won a handicap); quotes would suggest he's held in high regard by powerful connections and dangerous to pass over here, especially should it get wet. |

The Newbury maiden (6f, good) in which he finished sixth of 18 on his debut last month has been franked left, right and centre since and he showed more than enough to think he would be winning races himself; drawn widest but still of serious interest. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Went very close in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) last July and easily won four-runner Listed race at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) the following month; then absent until Royal Ascot last month when he kept on for third of 16 in the Group 3 Jersey (7f, good to firm); the return to 1m seems a likely plus and he's a leading candidate under William Buick. |
11/8 |
|
3rd 10 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Developed into a useful 2yo, following a close second in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) by beating his two rivals in a Salisbury Listed race (1m, good to firm); has a lengthy absence to overcome, and this drop back in distance isn't an obvious plus judged on his pedigree, but he's in excellent hands and retains potential. |

1st 2 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Won well in a novice event at Haydock in May; leapt forward again when second of ten in a Group 2 at Goodwood (again 7f on good; 22-1) 15 days ago, coming from the rear (despite hanging right) to go down by a head, and that makes him the clear form pick. |

Very useful 6f gelding whose last two performances suggest he's perhaps ready for this drop to 5f; may yet tap back into the progress that culminated in Mill Reef success at Newbury (good to soft); leading player, even with 5lb penalty, on return from another layoff. |

Just one win from 11 starts but he hit a personal best when going close in a 20-runner handicap at York (7f, good) last month; the first three pulled clear in that race and he's strongly respected off only 1lb higher. |

3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket; short of room at a crucial stage in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; 16-1) and basically given an easy time from over 1f out, so he's a good deal better than last of ten in that hot contest suggests; however, after 11 races, he is more exposed than most of today's rivals. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Basically progressive as 2yo, ending with best form over 1m2f/1m1f, and he reappeared with a creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket one month ago; after ten races, though, he may well be more exposed than a lot of today's rivals. |

Record of 2-7 and broadly consistent last term; creditable second in last three starts, including in 7f Group 3 at Newmarket; however, his ceiling is seemingly already known and, unlike all of today's rivals, he doesn't have a 2,000 Guineas entry. |

Promise in Britain as a 2yo before winning a 1m1f conditions event in France last August; well held in a 1m2f conditions event at Chantilly last month (soft ground); not obviously well treated back in a handicap but new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |

0-4 for Clive Cox but 2-3 for this yard after narrow wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to firm); came from off the pace a month ago to collect by a half-length off 5lb lower; well bred, he might well have more to offer. |

Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |

Unraced on softer than good; placed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, July Stakes at Newmarket, Vintage at Goodwood and Gimcrack at York; all those races are Group 2, so he's easily top in this on ratings but the York race last time produced a lesser display in first-time cheekpieces; they are now dispensed with and he's returned to 7f which he tried at Goodwood; Group 1 Dewhurst entry; should be on the premises. |
