3rd 7 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up on debut last July and 5-5 since, posting Group 1 wins on his last two starts in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) and the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); he's never faced a rival as good as Ombudsman but was impressive when winning the Eclipse by 3l and has the potential to give the Godolphin horse a serious challenge. |

1st 5 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Ballydoyle colt who went close in a strong maiden on debut and is 4-4 since, most recently beating stablemate Hawk Mountain by just under 1l in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f); impressive at Chester the time before and that Listed form has worked out well; top on the figures, still improving to boot and represents a trainer who has landed this prize nine times, including with 3yos (among them a French Derby winner) in four of the last five years; duly much respected. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 1 entry at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f; by Wootton Bassett out of unplaced sister to 1m4f/1m6f Group 1 winner Wonderful Tonight; short-headed at Newmarket before making all when odds-in in both a Galway maiden (7f, yielding) last July and five-runner Group 2 at the Curragh (7f, good) last August; both wins came with authority and the pedigree is encouraging for 1m2f; his enthusiasm for getting on with it last year raises more of a question but the 1m2f French Derby has been mentioned by his trainer as an objective. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 5lb |
Has improved for handicaps; won off 7lb lower at Fairyhouse (7f, good) and another solid effort off revised mark when a close fourth at Naas on latest; can give another good account but very wide draw not ideal. |
7/2 |

4th 8 (8) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Needed every yard of this trip to justify strong market support on handicap debut at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago, getting up in three-way photo, still looking green; 7lb rise enough but this stiffer 7f should bring more out of him, major player. |

1st 10 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Glimpses of ability in all four maiden runs, both Curragh efforts this term when staying on late over 6f; return to 7f to suit and potential improver entering handicaps. |

15th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

By a top sire; ran a promising race on debut at Galway over this trip on soft ground; should have improved enough from that to be more competitive today. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Wootton Bassett colt cost 110,000gns as a yearling; second foal; dam French 1m/1m1f winner (inc 2yo/Group 3; RPR 107), half-sister to 6f 2yo Listed winner Sivoliere, out of 1m Listed winner, is granddaughter of Coronation Stakes winner Sophisticat; seventh in a Naas barrier trial in May; probably best watched. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden who had been off for 187 days and gelded prior to finishing down the field at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) 17 days ago; however, he was beaten only around 4l and may come on for that outing. |
12/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden; ran fairly well when upped to 1m2f on Tapeta in February but we haven't seen him since; gelded in April; considered only if lively in the betting. |

4th 2 (10) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Encouraging stable debut when third of seven over 1m here in November; backwards step at Southwell one month later; steps up in trip with improvement essential. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Landed the odds with an emphatic win on handicap debut here (1m, good) in May; placed in two of his three runs since including when runner-up under a prominent ride at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month; now returns to sprinting but he's still lightly raced and could make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Easy winner off a 9lb lower mark on handicap debut at Ripon in May (1m, good); creditable third at Doncaster next time (1m, good to soft) but connections blamed the faster ground when well below his best last time at Pontefract (1m, good); today's sharp 7f on fast ground unlikely to suit. |

18th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 30y |
9st 5lb |
Starspangledbanner colt finished runner-up on first two starts in maidens at Galway and Gowran before emphatic winner of similar Curragh contest last month, appreciating softer ground; type to continue improving and could play a role here. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Bumped into subsequent Futurity Stakes winner Constitution River on debut at Galway and might have met another decent sort at Gowran since; needs to take a step forward to win but should be involved again. |
3/1 |

2nd 10 (3) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
A E130,000 yearling; no match for the front-running Constitution River on debut at Galway; however, finished well clear of the third (another wide gap to the fourth) and the form was franked by the winner in landing the Group 2 Futurity Stakes at the Curragh; tongue-tie fitted now. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Threatened in nurseries last season but not so good this campaign, though hasn't been helped by wide draws the last twice; handicapper relenting so don't wholly rule out. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Narrowly denied on nursery debut at the Curragh last September (7f, yld-sft); again ran well when a close-up fourth at Dundalk in October; flopped on heavy ground on reappearance; struggled again on good ground at Roscommon; questions to answer. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won once in Ireland and three times for George Boughey, twice on the AW and in a 7f Epsom handicap on final start for that yard; later sold for 28,000gns; had always worn a hood (also effective in tongue-tie) but went in blinkers on stable debut at Goodwood recently and raced too freely up front; now goes in an eyeshield; bit risky. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Back in his comfort zone at Epsom (7f, good) last time, taking Class 4 record to 3-3; sold out of George Boughey's yard for 28,000gns since; returns to deeper waters off a demanding mark; new headgear. |
18/1 |

1st 5 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a turf claimer in Ireland and landed two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections at the start of 2026; has found life harder since but in some good 3yo only races and latest fifth of ten at Sandown (7f, good) in this headgear combination was creditable; respected taking on his elders. |
