17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Did well in his first four handicaps on the AW during the winter (1222), but last two efforts have been modest including on his return to turf last time; needs the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers to make a difference. |

7th 2 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gelded and well backed when making all on handicap debut at Newcastle in December; runner-up on his next three starts but form dipped at Southwell (also 7f, AW) towards the end of March; having just his second go on turf and could be well drawn to attack. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nursery win in December (first run since gelded) came off a 12lb lower mark and he's been expensive to follow since; nudged up a further 3lb since his C&D second (first-time cheekpieces; retained) last time to Illy's Roo and needs to find a bit more. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Brought along steadily, posting his best effort when seventh in 7f Kempton novice 18 days ago; this longer trip promises to suit on his first go on turf. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten on both outings and will be of much more interest once qualified for a mark. |

7th 4 (3) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
260,000gns yearling; has a nice pedigree but he beat only one rival home on debut at Southwell (7f, AW; 40-1) 23 days ago; may be one for further down the line. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
$950,000 yearling; made a pleasing start to his career when third of five in a good Sandown novice 24 days ago (7f, good to firm); should be more streetwise this time and he's the one to beat. |
10/11 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

$950,000 yearling; Justify half-brother to US 5f/1m turf winner Tahini, out of US Graded stakes-placed 8.3f/8.5f turf scorer who is related to US Graded winners; yard won this race in 2022 and 2024; respected. |

8th 8 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has progressive AW form, notably winning twice at Kempton; possibly flattered by his bare figure when rank outsider in Group 1 at Royal Ascot last time; in any case, needs to find further improvement. |
50/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Quite a progressive sort on AW and has gained both wins over 7f at Kempton, including in Class 4 handicap latest start; soundly beaten in both turf attempts, always behind in the 2,000 Guineas on second occasion; plenty to find and plenty to prove back in this sphere. |
150/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has been competitive or more when away from Group company and a strongly run race back at 7f should suit; others still appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Unplaced in his two attempts at sprinting this summer but he hasn't run badly on either occasion; could have a bigger effort brewing. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so. |
14/1 |
|
8th 12 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
All six runs have been at 7f, winning an AW novice last summer; had wind and gelding operations prior to his reappearance at Newbury (good) in April and ran well for third; filled the same spot in a handicap here six weeks ago; improvement essential now tackling 5f in a red-hot handicap; tongue-tie enlisted. |

1st 5 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
In-form 3yo who has reached the frame in AW handicaps (1m) in his last three runs, most recently when third at Kempton two weeks ago; record is now 1-10, but his dam won over 1m2f and he's respected at this new trip; cheekpieces worn in last two starts are removed. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
3yo who ended last season with a Newcastle win (1m, AW) and has run well in three of his four starts this season including when fourth of 14 at Newcastle (cheekpieces added) last month; still has low mileage and he should be in the mix again. |
7/1 |
|
4th 10 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 with C&D victory and he's advanced his form this season, posting good third of 14 in 1m Kempton handicap 26 days ago; cheekpieces added; merits consideration from an unchanged mark. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
0-5; appeared to improve on previous efforts when third of eight at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) this month, but he needs another step forward in order to take this. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Showed signs of improvement in Wolverhampton classified race in sole outing this year but needs to build on that effort. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Looked one to follow when keeping on for third on handicap debut in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good); however, he's failed to settle and finished soundly beaten over 1m4f on his last two starts and, while Goodwood may not have suited last time, he arrives with something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Merely ninth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but he failed to settle and prior to that he kept on for a good third in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on his handicap and seasonal debut, shaping as though 1m4f could be right up his street; retains potential at this trip and could be a contender if settling better. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dam is sister to dual Arc winner Treve; 8-1, good third of ten in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) on his seasonal/handicap debut; raised 2lb but there's a big chance he can raise his game again with that run under his belt and this extra 2f. |
