11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025, posting a personal best when narrowly beating Witness Stand in the latter; didn't shine back from a lengthy absence at Haydock in May, but he shaped as though he needed that run and has leading claims if he can get back near his best here; key player in his bid to make it 3-4 at Chester. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the same Listed event at Chester in 2023 (soft) and 2025 (good), posting a personal best in latter; not seen since but he has plenty of form when fresh and cannot be ruled out. |

Won this in 2023 for Andrew Balding; useful handicap efforts for new trainer when third over C&D in May and in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month but they are short of level he achieved when winning this. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner on soft ground who won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) last July before excellent second in the Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August; he's lost his form on his last four starts but perhaps wind surgery will have done the trick; wears a first-time tongue-tie and capable of having a big say if rediscovering his best. |
9/1 |
|
13 (19) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
1-1 on AW, namely a 7f novice a Kempton last March; recorded a big personal best when winning the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) and his two defeats since have been excusable; tough task trying to give weight away back sprinting after 133 days off. |
11/2 |

12 (6) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who was third in a Group 2 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August before bolting up in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); well worth a crack at a Group 1 judged on that latest performance but he needs to transfer his Doncaster improvement - and some more - back to better ground. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Useful 2yo (Listed winner) and ran some fair races in the face of stiff tasks as a 3yo; gelded during his 217-day absence; makes his handicap/stable debut and still brings relatively low mileage. |
3/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Listed win at two; showed he's trained on when fourth to Field Of Gold in the Craven at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance; understandable he couldn't get involved in the 2,000 Guineas next time but a subsequent no-show in the Jersey at Royal Ascot is harder to forgive. |
10/1 |

14th 1 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Fine fourth to Field Of Gold in the Craven at Newmarket (1m, good) but came up well short in the 2,000 Guineas (66-1); back down in grade today but could still be vulnerable and David Egan prefers California Dreamer. |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Started his career with a progressive spell on AW that culminated in Listed success; has failed to transfer that form to turf since and may be more interesting when returned to an artificial surface. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very progressive on AW this year, including a 7f Listed race win at Lingfield, but below that level switched to turf the last twice; bit too soon to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass but he has it prove for now. |
8/1 |
|
3 (1) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced at two; very progressive on AW this year, winning Listed event at Lingfield (sole 7f attempt) the final time; disappointing favourite at Ascot (6f Group 3) on the switch to turf but can't be written off; may still have more to offer. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Reasonably consistent, including at Listed/Group level, until running poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; perhaps best watched as he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat. |
33/1 |
|
27th 5 (11) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Successful at Haydock in sole handicap attempt then ran well behind a notable rival in Group 3 at same venue; no further progress in three runs since but he is proving reasonably consistent and returns to handicap level with Toby Moore taking off a useful 7lb; could go well. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner signed off last season with excellent placed efforts in a Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) and a Listed event at Craon (1m, very soft); not disgraced behind Docklands in Listed Doncaster Mile on seasonal return; sharper for that and this British raider is respected. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Six runs at Ascot have yielded two Group 3 wins (6f) as well as a third in a Group 1 over C&D; back to form with a good third in a competitive AW handicap (6f) two weeks ago; 1lb rise not insurmountable; respected. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Smart performer on his day; finished second in the Group 3 on this card 12 months ago and ended 2025 with an Ascot win at that level; it has been a mixed back so far in 2026 but he is edging down the weights and has too much ability to discount; accessories tried last month are now dispensed with. |
12/1 |

13th 1 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off. |
