1st 2 (3) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Ready winner of Rowley Mile handicap here (1m4f, good) in May and creditable third in Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) next time; stretched by 1m6f at York since and the drop back in trip is in his favour; however, he needs something extra to come out on top in today's company. |

3rd 4 (2) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ready winner of Newmarket handicap (1m4f, good) last month and respectable third in Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) latest; further improvement is needed now up in trip but this lightly raced 4yo is in excellent hands to continue to progress; unraced on slow ground. |

3rd 3 (4) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned to Britain with a career-best performance to win a handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago by about 3l; goes up in grade today but this progressive Frankel gelding, who cost 2,000,000gns in 2022 and is in top hands, could be up to the task. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Admirably consistent in defeat in Group races last year before winning the Grade 3 Nashville Derby at Kentucky (10.5f, firm) in August; well beaten in the Breeders' Cup Turf on final 2025 start but offered enough to think he retains all his ability when fifth of six to Ombudsman in Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance 19 days ago; considered. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Admirably consistent in defeat in Group races last year before winning the Grade 3 Nashville Derby at Kentucky (10.5f, firm) last August; well beaten in the Breeders' Cup Turf next time; has an each-way shout if fully tuned up for this reappearance outing. |
12/1 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Royal Lodge winner last term and holding his form well in a busy 2025 campaign, most recently second in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; Group 2) against his elders; ties in with Galveston on Royal Ascot running in cheekpieces (reapplied today); solid. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Missed most of 2024 and a narrow Listed win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last August was the only time that he's recaptured his best; even that isn't nearly enough to win this and he trailed in last behind Tenability on reappearance at Goodwood last month; stablemate of Rebel's Romance and might make the running. |
33/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
2024 Sandown Classic Trial winner (good to soft) who missed the rest of that season; underwhelming on first four starts last year and ran particularly poorly at Glorious Goodwood (sole visit here) but he ended that campaign by winning narrowly in a four-runner Listed race at Windsor in August; needs to build on that but should stay 1m4f. |
7/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent in the market for last year's Epsom Derby after winning the Sandown Classic Trial (1m2f, good to soft), but not seen again until Meydan in March this year; hasn't really threatened in four Group races since returning and ran particularly poorly at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is a drop in grade but he still has plenty to prove; entered in the Irish St Leger. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Sold on the eve of this meeting last year for £2,000,000 and finished a creditable third to Rebel's Romance and Al Riffa in the Group 2 Hardwicke (1m4f, good to firm) a few days later; withdrawn after rearing over being saddled up on an intended start at last year's Newmarket July meeting; subsequently left Clive Cox and hasn't been seen since. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten on last eight starts having gone 3-3 in 2yo campaign (including here and in Group 2); however, the first seven of those defeats were in Group 1 races, with some very creditable performances, and he produced another when third in the Group 2 Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month with Palladium just over 1l further back in fourth; leading claims. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3-3 in 2yo season (including Group 2); 0-7 since and below par in Tattersalls Gold Cup last month but all of those were Group 1 races and he's shown some very strong form, including when third in last August's Juddmonte International (10.2f, good to firm); his dam was a 1m4f winner so there can be hope that today's new trip will suit, and he's a major player if he stays; changed hands for £2,000,000 at Goffs London Sale on Monday (remains with Clive Cox). |
