17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Respected on last season's 1m4f/1m6f form but very little went to plan this term until his straightforward task in a 1m6f conditions stakes five weeks ago; had two attempts at 2m and can't be blamed for the first, while it did not look as if the trip was to blame on second occasion; has headgear first time and might yet reveal himself as a stayer but he has a bit to prove. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made excellent progress last season, winning Royal Ascot Group 2 (1m4f) before making the frame in Irish St Leger (1m6f) and Breeders' Cup Turf; very little has gone to plan this year and, after his calamitous early exit at Glorious Goodwood, he disappointed at York (extended 2m) last month; that said, this ease in grade could provide him with the chance to get his career back on track. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Tremendous progress last season; odds-on flop when rather forced to make the running in the Yorkshire Cup here on 2026 return; ran on nicely for a creditable sixth of 12 in a very strong Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time but unseated leaving the stalls with a mishap in the Goodwood Cup (2m; 17-2); that leaves his stamina unproven but he stays at least 1m6f; unraced on softer than good to yielding; a leading contender if he gets this new trip and there's fair chance he will. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Four races, the last two of them Listed, and he's progressing well; 25-1 when fifth of eight at Goodwood (1m3f, good; unraced on firmer) on reappearance, plugging on to finish 1.5l behind the third-placed Tycoon; needs further improvement in cheekpieces first time. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortable winner at Newcastle (1m, AW) in September and improved again when 7l third of five in Listed race at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October; should stay at least 1m2f and open to further progress, which is needed. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has flourished in this much more substantial campaign, including with a win at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) and he gave the winner 5lb when a very close third of 22 to Daiquiri Bay in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to soft); in the latter he led 2f out and boxed on well, so 2m is not out of the question and he's well worth this third go at a Group race (Group 3 second on penultimate start); each-way chance. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
2m Group 1 entry; lightly raced 4yo, unraced on softer than good except on debut; has flourished this term, winning in some style at Carlisle (1m3f) in May and Royal Ascot (1m4f; 10lb higher today) in June; backed up the latter form when second in a steadily run Group 3 at Goodwood and looks well worth a crack at 1m6f. |
12/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) in May on his second start since being gelded and followed up in the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); he's by Frankel out of a Group 1 winner and could take this rise in grade in his stride; key player. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
All was looking good when making it 2-3 in a C&D novice here in April; since then he's finished last in Listed/handicap company on either side of a good run to be fifth at Newmarket in July (strong 1m2f handicap); all hope is not yet lost as it's still early days, but he now has something to prove. |
16/1 |

10th 6 (7) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Raced on good/good to firm on turf; tailed off in a 1m3f Goodwood Listed race in May but this dual novice winner got his career back on track when fifth of eight in a strong 1m2f 3yo handicap at the Newmarket July meeting; back from another two months off with Oisin Murphy doing the steering; yard also runs Molveno. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 2-3 when staying on strongly to assert late on as 5-4 favourite in a novice at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; useful RPR with that convincing success but he was tailed off when switched to a Listed event at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; still unexposed but has a bit to prove after that heavy defeat and this is a highly competitive race for handicap debut. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to the stable's dual 1m6f Group 2 winner Sumo Sam; like him, he's shown he goes well on soft ground, in his case when easily making all in a Newmarket maiden (7f) before his front-running fourth of eight when tongue tied in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m); had wind surgery early last month; should stay well but may need a lot of rain. |

Runner-up on first two starts (6f/7f, good to soft/soft) then easily made all in Newmarket maiden (7f, soft) last month; takes a leap in grade but this half-brother to the stable's two-time 1m6f Group 2 winner Sumo Sam is open to further improvement now up in trip; tongue-tie goes on; not discounted. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
40-1 fifth of ten in the Irish Derby (1m4f, good) in June, front rank long way; it's a concern that his rating that day is well in advance of his others, and also that he was beaten so far in the storm at Glorious Goodwood on latest outing, but he needs a second look with tongue tied first time. |
8/1 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Belied his 40-1 odds with an apparently good fifth in the Irish Derby and new rating gives him a leading chance in this field; however, may be flattered by that result; no match for unbeaten stablemate Amiloc in Listed grade at Goodwood (1m3f) the time before; not entirely solid. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
A different horse when there's give underfoot and it was very straightforward for him in a Class 2 1m4f handicap at Goodwood a fortnight ago (good to soft); that made it 2-2 in cheekpieces and he's earned the right to a crack at this, but probably playing for the places. |

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in useful handicap (1m4f, soft) on Derby day when last seen, taking Epsom record to 2-2; similar type to High Degree and looks a major player in the retained headgear. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Just behind Blue Hercules when initially tried over 1m4f at Ascot in July and similar form when runner-up next time at York; good to soft ground perhaps not ideal in last two runs yet still fared respectably in a deep handicap at the Ebor meeting and latterly dropped to 1m1f at Yarmouth; each-way chance. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Upped to 1m4f on good to firm when placed at Ascot (made most) and York (under Toby Moore) in July; drops back in trip and ground softer than good poses a question mark, as shown again at York on latest outing. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Epsom on Oaks day on sole start on softer than good; upped to 1m4f (good to firm) for his two starts since when third of eight at Ascot (made most) and second of ten under 7lb claimer at York, both solid efforts but a bit extra will be needed to win this; non-runner at Newmarket yesterday. |
