10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No better than midfield in two Meydan starts; 2-2 since racing in Britain, gamely landing the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; turf debut) last time, albeit fortuitously as the runner-up looked unlucky; faces a tougher task on these terms but is open to further improvement. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Down the field in his Meydan races but returned from a break for British debut and he dominated throughout in that 1m maiden at Chelmsford, scoring by 3l; had the run of things that day and the handicapper has taken no chances, but he's a dark one on turf debut for a trainer who's had plenty of success at this meeting; a nagging concern is that only one recent winner emerged from a maiden or novice. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Showed ability when sixth in a 7f Meydan conditions race (dirt) in January; well below that level back there (1m) when last seen; if building on his original effort he should be involved but has that to prove. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot then caught the eye on reappearance; hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in two starts since but remains of interest assuming this new scenario (steps up from 1m) prompts a positive effect; too soon to give up on him. |
7/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Went close in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; not seen again until a good fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this March, despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; disappointing favourite in the Lincoln at Doncaster three weeks later, perhaps with the good to soft ground against him but overall improvement is required moving from handicaps into this Group 3. |
8/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Went close in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; then absent until the Trial at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) three weeks ago, when he was fourth despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; could play a leading role on the back of that eyecatching run, provided conditions suit (unraced on slow turf). |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (15) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Good effort in the Britannia at Royal Ascot is flanked by two Ascot wins, latest in big field on King George day (1m, good) when taking form figures to 123131; progressive and very solid. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (17) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive 3yo who strolled home in a C&D handicap in May and performed even better when a close third in the Britannia here (again good to firm) the following month; that run more than justifies a further 5lb rise in the weights and he's a major player again on a course he clearly handles very well. |

3-3 on AW, two of the wins coming over C&D, and he showed what he could do on turf when a fine fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; last of 17 at the Ebor meeting but he was making some inroads when meeting traffic and eased inside the final furlong; one to consider. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finished close up in fifth in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (1m, good to firm); his 3yo campaign rather fizzled out but he dropped in the weights as a result and took full advantage with his 7.6f success here 24 days ago; well drawn again and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him. |
5/2 |

1st 11 (2) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fifth over C&D (good) at this meeting last year on his first outing for Ian Williams and followed that with a very good fifth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); failed to match that level later in the campaign but his mark has dipped and dangerous if bouncing back to form after a winter break; a good draw and Billy Loughnane in the saddle are positives. |

Won his maiden on heavy but handled faster ground when sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; keen and didn't get home (lost shoe) over a mile at Killarney when long odds-on last time and gelded since; bit to prove and draw not great. |
12/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
9st 9lb |
Won his maiden on heavy but fine on faster ground as he showed when a close sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) the time before had he been sharper from the stalls; not yet exposed and could be hard to beat in a race of this nature; stable won this 12 months ago. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Heavy-ground maiden winner who is effective on good but unraced on faster; the Group 3 he contested on reappearance was won by a Group 1 horse and he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) had he been sharper from the stalls; that form is working out well and he wouldn't be exposed just yet; considered. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
1m winner at Newmarket and York last summer but failed to shine on last two outings, when co-second favourite for the C&D Cambridgeshire on first occasion; only mid-division when 13-2 in the Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago but not beaten far and the draw looked a problem; not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
11th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Below par on his last two 3yo starts but he'd previously won competitive 1m events at Newmarket and York (both good to firm) in the summer, and he did well to prevail at York after having to wait for a run; only 3lb higher here and he'll be a major player if ready to roll after six months off. |
10/1 |

10 (11) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
3yo who won good handicaps this summer at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and York (1m, good to firm); underwhelming when mid-division in the Cambridgeshire three weeks ago, even allowing for the 1m1f trip, but he's not written off in view of his previous abundant promise. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Sole success came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo, though he twice finished runner-up last year, including at York (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) in October; didn't enjoy the smoothest run and far from disgraced in good Newbury handicap on reappearance; likely to go well. |

Sole success came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo, though he twice finished runner-up last year including at York (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) in October; off since but he has gone well fresh in the past; shortlisted. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Short-headed when he finished strongly at Newmarket (1m) in July and he was denied a clear run at top meetings on starts either side; never able to challenge in a muddling 1m2f race on latest start (gelded since) and worth this third crack at 1m2f; interesting. |

One of two runners for Clive Cox who won this in 2003; has advanced his RPR with each start and it's interesting that he was so strong in the market for handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, good; 15-8) where he was given every chance but ultimately repelled by Iceford; won his maiden over 6f but 1m shouldn't be a problem; every chance of serving up another personal best. |

7f winner at Goodwood on reappearance and far from discredited from an unfavourable draw when upped to 1m at Royal Ascot next time; just 6-1 for a 16-runner 7f handicap back at Goodwood two weeks ago, never remotely a threat but he was messed around in the closing stages; cheekpieces go on. |
13/2 |

11th 7 (11) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; far from discredited from unfavourable draw upped to 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last time; progressive over 7f otherwise and registered a C&D success, narrowly beating a hat-trick seeker, in his only other start this season; remains of interest. |
8/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Looked a work in progress last season before doing it easily in a 7f AW novice in September; gelded afterwards and was noticeably strong in the market when making a successful handicap debut at Goodwood (good), where he needed all of the 7f to seal the deal; 5lb higher but this extra furlong could make a huge difference to him; one of three runners for Ralph Beckett who took this race in 2019. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two wins in last season's 2yo campaign; reappeared with close third in the Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m) in May, a race that hasn't really worked out; ran okay when 11th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); versatile ground-wise; improvement is possible but necessary in this hot race. |

11th 6 (6) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has handled good to firm and the mud; consistent last season until his heavy defeat in a Group 3; usually races prominently but had to be dropped in from a bad draw in the Silver Bowl at Haydock, so all things considered he did well to finish only a length off Teroomm; enters calculations with a talented claimer secured. |

Progressive over 7f-8.6f on AW this year, on last two starts winning the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton and close third at the AW Championships at Newcastle; turf mark has been raised in tandem, which leaves him with marked improvement to find in this sphere, but he needs a second look. |

1st 6 (11) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |

Lightly raced 4yo who returned from a 202-day break (gelded during the absence) to win a 7f handicap at Kempton in January, finishing off strongly (form worked out extremely well); only second over 1m last time but the tactical nature of that race may not have suited; still looks on a dangerous mark and he's one of two strong contenders for Andrew Balding. |

Frankel colt and dam's siblings include Grade 1 and Group 3 winners; progressed in novices and the manner in which he kept on for second on his handicap debut here over 7f (good to firm) suggests he'll devour today's extra distance; going the right way and seemingly held in high regard having been towards the top of the market in all his races; firmly enters calculations. |

Won twice at two and his defeats came in races won by top-notchers; has also kept good company this season, running well on the AW before failing to fire around Chester in the 1m2f Listed Dee Stakes; while that wasn't the ideal preparation for a Britannia, he'd be no forlorn hope if back on song. |

Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to justifying favouritism with 1l success at Kempton (7f) on AW/seasonal debut, opening his handicap account and taking overall record to 3-9; this Wathnan Racing runner may well be capable of further improvement; ties in closely with Mudbir on Sandown running last July; major contender. |

Arrived for the Britannia on the back of a hat-trick of wins, the last of them coming in the competitive Silver Bowl at Haydock (1m, good), but he met trouble at a crucial stage at the Royal meeting and his midfield run is best ignored; will be very dangerous if getting the breaks this time. |

All good this year and completed his hat-trick in the always-competitive Silver Bowl at Haydock (1m, good); has made a canny habit of not winning any of his races by far and could still be on happy terms with the handicapper despite a 6lb rise; a tough colt who won't be fazed by the challenge of a Britannia and he's on the shortlist for yard that won this in 2020. |

Efforts since last summer leave plenty to be desired, including last month's Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW; first start since being gelded); however, he is 2-2 here (1m/1m1f) and 7lb lower than when last successful; worth a second look; stable also runs Sir Paul Ramsey. |

9st 6lb |
Won a nursery here at last year's Glorious meeting (7f, good to firm) and back on the scoresheet at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in August; fifth of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) since and this 3yo could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; unraced on slow ground. |

Proved resurgent with success on the July course (1m, good to firm) last time, albeit off 3lb lower and with rider taking off 5lb; this looks a harder task but he's had a light campaign and may have more to offer. |

Down the field (beaten 8l) in the Britannia on his only previous attempt at 1m; this season's form figures are a tad misleading as he's not been running badly, including last time in a deep 7f handicap at Goodwood; only 4lb higher than for his nursery win and Jack Dace takes off 5lb; could be interesting. |

Tongue tied first time and left his first two efforts behind when seeing off two next-time-out winners in a 7f Newbury novice (good) in May; on the back of that he went off favourite for the 30-runner Britannia at Royal Ascot but met repeated trouble in running; evidently well regarded (has also been Group entered) and can be given another chance. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

370,000gns yearling; first-time tongue-tie when not overly troubled at Newbury (7f novice, good) to beat a subsequent winner and he's in the right hands to keep progressing now into handicaps, especially raised to 1m; could very easily take a huge step forward, and runs here in preference to Saturday's Group 3 Jersey Stakes; dangerous; trainer won this in 2012. |

Did well at Meydan earlier in the year (7f/1m) and was a close third at Sandown (7f, good to firm) last month but he didn't really fire at Newmarket (third of six) last time; that took his record to 1-10 and others are more persuasive. |

Reappeared with a win in C&D novice (good to firm) last month; ran well in French Listed race next time but he found things tough in the Britannia handicap at Royal Ascot 11 days ago; still unexposed and now goes back up in trip but this mark looks tough on the balance of his form and others are preferred. |

Form figures of 121 to start his career in the spring, including a 1m win off this mark at Goodwood on handicap debut, but he's not lived up to that; gelded before penultimate start, which was a fair effort at Ascot, but he did not show much at Ayr on latest (both on soft). |

Never involved back on turf at Newmarket last month; however, he returned with two respectable efforts on AW prior to that and the fact he's dipped to 1lb below the mark he defied at Sandown (7f, soft) last summer and was runner-up at this meeting last year make him a dangerous one to discount. |
