22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Group placed as 2yo and he's run well in top 3yo only handicaps over 1m2f this summer, finishing second of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm; probably acts on good to soft) off this mark last time; respected with Oisin Murphy taking the reins for the first time. |

2nd 1 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Third in 1m1f Listed race on reappearance and a rallying sixth of 16 in 1m2f handicap at Royal Ascot; drop back to 1m was probably against him on latest start but he's pretty exposed compared to many of today's rivals. |
16/1 |

12th 16 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 since winning on debut at Leopardstown (7f, good) last May and he could do with settling better, while Ryan Moore rides stablemate Endorsement; however, he's run some big races in defeat and could build on April's reappearance fourth in the Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding; Endorsement second); might have a part to play. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Split the ill-fated Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York; then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; repeated a hard-pulling tendency in the Dewhurst; needs to settle better to do full justice to his ability; hooded now for seasonal debut. |
10/1 |

8th 5 (4) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ties in with several of today's rivals on his consistent Group form since debut win; split Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York on penultimate start, then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; took a good hold both times, so there's potential for an even bigger effort if he settles better. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Promising profile included a Newbury novice win (extended 6f) last summer but it went into orbit, after running better than the bare result on Chester reappearance, when he got to the front over 1f out in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and held off allcomers; a 7lb rise may not interrupt his progress over 1m. |
5/2 |
|
1st 27 (28) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Contested a Group 2 last season after winning his novice; gelded in December; his comeback run at Chester was seriously promising when he had to be dropped in from a wide draw, then found trouble up the straight yet was beaten only 2l behind a shorter-priced stablemate; he's way better than that bare form and gets in off the same mark; possibilities. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten five times since his debut win but has performed creditably when highly tried and being carried left by an errant rival did him no favours in the Super Sprint (had top weight); returning to 6f is a major positive and his stable has a great record in this race. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
0-4 since debut win (5f, good) but form is on an upward curve, and he ran well facing a stiff task when fifth of seven in Group 2 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last week; will need another personal best under top weight. |
14/1 |
|
4 (4) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable seventh in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but is now 0-3 since debut win and looking a touch exposed, at least over sprint trips; it remains to be seen whether this longer distance helps. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Presents a dilemma as he looked a plausible Dewhurst prospect with his Group 2 Superlative win on the July course here (beat Italy) but subsequently flopped badly, finishing last of six, in the Group 1 National Stakes; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

6th 5 (2) |
14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Dubawi colt, grandson of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Gossamer; landed odds on debut in Sandown maiden over this trip in June and followed up in Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket, avoiding interference on near side then hanging left once hitting the front (beating Italy 1.25l); still a work in progress with likely more to offer and following the same path as yard's 2021 winner Native Trail. |
100/30 |
|
5 (2) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dubawi colt who justified favouritism, with something to spare, in Sandown maiden (7f, good) that his stable won in 2021 with Native Trail who followed up in this contest; open to any amount of progress. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
The class angle in this field and has earned top weight on handicap debut, having ended his progressive 2yo season with good efforts in a Newmarket Group 2 (7f, good to firm) and Canadian Grade 1 (1m, firm); a likely danger provided he's back in similar form with Listed reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Raced four times last year, finishing third in the Group 2 Superlative at this meeting (7f, good to firm) and going close in a Canadian Grade 1 (1m, firm) in September; this is his first run since and William Buick rides Morris Dancer, but it will be no surprise to see a big performance. |
5/1 |
|
6 (3) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won well at Haydock and nearly defied a penalty in C&D contest, narrowly failing to collar a bigger-priced stablemate (newcomer); William Buick prefers Saba Desert but this colt retains potential. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Second in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October (good) and returned there with a fine third in the 1,000 Guineas (good to firm); tailed-off last, however, in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, testing ground) and the Group 1 Falmouth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); while bred to stay at least 1m2f, she now has a big question to answer. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
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. |
