9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Given every chance when going down narrowly in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap 20 days ago; that form entitles him to a second look here (in new cheekpieces) but he is 0-6 and others should have greater potential. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-5, clear best effort when second of 12 on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on penultimate outing; brother to a fairly useful 1m4f winner for the same connections, so today's extra 4f is interesting. |
7/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made a big move at halfway but stuck to his task when second of 12 at Windsor (1m, good to firm; winner was completing a four-timer) 17 days ago; that was his handicap debut and first go at 1m so plenty of optimism he can progress again with Oisin Murphy taking over. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
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 |
|
7 (10) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has failed to convince over 1m2f since returning to home soil; gelded prior to latest start; 1m winner during his campaign at Meydan and the return to this distance looks the angle with him. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Better in Meydan campaign in December-March, including a 1m win and he shaped as if he stayed 1m1f on final start there; needs to rebound from a poor show at Newmarket (1m2f) in April and he was gelded the next day. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Fair form on varied turf as 2yo; rather better in his seven-race campaign at Meydan in December-March, including a 1m win and he shaped as if he stayed 1m1f on latest start; needs to find extra but, unlike most of these, there are no doubts over his fitness. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Chesham Stakes runner-up here in 2025; convincing winner of Leopardstown Group 3 (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance before racing freely in 2,000 Guineas and Irish 2,000 Guineas; has had more racing than most of these and has to carry a penalty but should be suited by this return to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Chesham Stakes runner-up and Listed winner at Tipperary before a respectable effort in a 1m Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start; won going away from Power Blue (gave 3lb) in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; pulled very hard in the 2,000 Guineas; fifth was a decent outcome in the circumstances; can make his presence felt if settling better. |
6/1 |
|
5th 14 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish colt who has built up a solid record that includes a good effort in Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start (sole 1m attempt); won going away from Power Blue, who conceded 3lb, in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; could go well but several others bring stronger claims in terms of class and/or potential. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Cost 2,000,000euros as a yearling and impressively justified favouritism over C&D (good to firm) last May on debut; beaten in three races over 7f/1m since but ran well at Meydan latest; gelded since; interesting with progress possible returned to this scenario on handicap debut. |
4/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Frankel colt who cost 2,000,000euros as a yearling; impressively justified strong support in Newmarket contest (6f, good to firm; easily went clear for 4l win) and looks a smart prospect; leading contender. |
13/8 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
18th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
2,000,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 6f 2yo/7f Listed winner (RPR 106), sister to 5f-1m winner Pedestal, closely related to 5f 2yo/6f winner Full Authority, half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Oliver Show, out of half-sister to US 1m1f Grade 1 winner; this Frankel colt has to catch the eye. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Inclined to pull hard and cracked late on over 1m4f at Royal Ascot, having bumped into a few progressive winners previously; sets the standard back into maiden company but can hang right and has had eight cracks at it now. |
9/4 |
|
7th 14 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Maiden after seven races, runner-up in all four since joining George Boughey; three of those were handicaps (8.6f/1m2f) so he should be far more exposed than most of today's rivals, but he has been improving (wore cheekpieces last time) and 1m4f now looks worth a go. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Now 0-6 but he's posted progressive RPRs when runner-up on all three starts since joining George Boughey; the form of his latest 1m2f Newmarket second has been boosted by subsequent wins for the third and fourth (the winner also a creditable third in a Listed race); if he can pull out only a little more for the addition of cheekpieces he could take a bit of stopping. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Neck ahead of Fille Imbassee on identical terms when third over C&D last month (good to firm); appeal undiminished by Ffos Las blowout since, when not taking to soft ground; 2lb badly in. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-7; second in 9.4f AW maiden in April and third of five in handicap at Leicester (upped to 1m2f, good to firm) latest; tried cheekpieces on penultimate start; this could be a weak race but he may still prove vulnerable. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in novice/maiden company but he has finished out of the places in both handicaps (5-4f for nursery debut); cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; up to 1m2f for the first time with a point to prove. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Worth a second look given she's the sole Ballydoyle runner and it's possible she'll improve for the step up in trip on her second start of the season; however, she's been beaten in four Listed/Group races since winning a maiden at Leopardstown on her debut last June, and was 2l behind Legacy Link when fifth in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Leopardstown maiden winner on debut; progressed to be placed in Chesham at Royal Ascot (beaten 2.25l into third) and in a Group 3 over C&D (beaten 2.25l into second); ran with credit when fifth in Fillies' Mile behind stablemate Precise 175 days ago; stable first string and should go well, although soft ground an unknown. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made a winning debut and has performed well in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and Group 3 at the Curragh (behind Queen Of Hawaii) since; evidently quite useful but needs to raise her game in this field. |

9st 0lb |
Second to Precise in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile last October (good; no match for the winner) and returned with fine third in the 1,000 Guineas (1m, good to firm; Fillies' Mile third Evolutionist in second); failed to settle when tailed off over 1m4f in the Oaks last month (when reportedly unsuited by the slow ground); drops back in trip but with something to find. |
20/1 |

9th 9 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-6 since debut win on AW last June and unproven on slow ground; however, she was a fine second in a red-hot running of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October and reappeared with an excellent third in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m) last month; made the running on her last two starts; by Derby winner Masar and rallied in the closing stages last time, so it's possible that this sizeable step up in trip will suit; not ruled out. |
