11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beat a couple of today's rivals in the Group 3 Acomb at York (7f, good to firm; followed up debut win) but isn't guaranteed to confirm the placings, having failed to back up the form when favourite in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster where he was two places behind Oxagon. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Both runs over 7f on good to firm; looked very nice when overcoming signs of inexperience at Newbury and confirmed that promise in winning the Group 3 Acomb at York, a race that the yard's future 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean also won en route to taking this and the Dewhurst; likeably straightforward and it was never in much doubt last time after he raced close to the pace throughout; hard to knock. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
80,000euros breeze-up 2yo in May (private sale); 9-1 from 11-1 for 11-runner novice at Newbury (7f, good to firm) nearly five weeks ago and always prominent, firmly in charge through the final 1f despite looking green; has Group 2 and Group 1 entry; others bring stronger form but that was a promising start. |

Not This Time gelding; fairly useful form shown when runner-up on four of his five starts, on latest back from four months off in 1m Doncaster novice 22 days ago; the form pick. |
8/13 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
RPR of 87 when runner-up in three of his four starts including a close second in a big-field handicap at Meydan (1m, good) in January; just about sets the standard on his return and he should have more to offer at this trip; key player. |
6/4 |

6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
$700,000 yearling; showed strong promise with his second of 11 in 7f contest at Newbury, doing well considering he looked very green; the form has received a couple of boosts since; the stable first string with William Buick on board and is well clear on the figures. |

Lightly raced 3yo; faded after being pestered for the lead in German Group 2 in May, but he'd previously posted a personal best when second to the high-class Talk Of New York in conditions race at Newmarket (7f, good) on reappearance; bred to stay at least 1m; makes handicap debut and might have been let in lightly. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn on the wrong side at Royal Ascot on handicap debut and was a heavily backed winner at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when making most; he did it in good style and a 9lb rise may not stop him this afternoon; ran well on good to soft last August, unraced on softer. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Built upon 2yo promise to win big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) on reappearance and when 13th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) he was third of 15 in the far-side group; possible player. |

13th 30 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Encouraging runs behind Group-class horses last season; back from a lengthy break and a gelding operation when the workmanlike winner of a big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) that's produced a stack of winners; unexposed and respected. |

10st 0lb |
Two narrow wins over 7f (good to firm) either side of apparently failing to stay 1m at Goodwood in June but he found just the one pace when sixth of 11 at Ascot last month and it remains to be seen whether he's still on a winning mark. |
3/1 |

6th 6 (10) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made the breakthrough when scrambling home in Catterick maiden in May and he broke his handicap duck with another neck success at Leicester (also 7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he might be capable of better. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Didn't have to improve to reward odds-on backers in a 7f maiden at Catterick in May; creditable fifth in a 1m handicap at Goodwood two weeks ago and the return to 7f in a slightly weaker race should see him on the premises. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with nursery wins over 6f/7f; unplaced first two runs in 2026 but back to his best in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by the blinkers he wore on penultimate start) when second of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some fair form in three starts over 7f/1m as a 2yo, but comfortably held on handicap debut at York (1m2f, good) last month; may have needed the run after 248 days off, so too early to be giving up on him. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fair form at Kempton (7f, AW) and Sandown (1m, soft; three ran) on his last two starts as 2yo and he shaped as if he'd prove capable of better, including at this trip; one to note on handicap/seasonal debut. |
6/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both runs over 7f; seventh behind the subsequent Acomb (Group 3) winner at Newbury (good to firm) but finished a lot closer to the runner-up when third at Kempton (AW) where he ran on encouragingly from off the pace; shouldn't remain a maiden for long. |

Said to have pulled hard in a Newbury novice last time and has since been gelded; yet to show a lot but is a half-brother to two winners and market support on his nursery debut would see him enter calculations. |

Ran green and was always in rear when a remote seventh of nine at York (6f, good to firm; 8-1) last month; should know much more over this longer trip but he needs a transformation on his second start. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Unraced on firmer than good except when well beaten on debut; highly progressive in handicaps and won at Windsor (11.4f, good) and Chester (10.3f, good to soft; first two 5l clear) on last two outings; keeps on finding more, and it's rash to say he can't do it again, but 9lb rise demands it for sure. |

1st 8 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Very much on the up since sent handicapping and he cosily bagged a second success at Windsor (11.5f) last month; up 4lb but that form is working out really well so this son of Dubawi is a big player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well-related gelding who has done well since switched to handicaps, winning on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in January and going close at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's an interesting contender at this new trip; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

3rd 4 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
