1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Third in the Coventry Stakes over C&D before winning the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); rounded off his juvenile campaign with a close third in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes (6f, good to firm), finishing on the heels of the reopposing Wise Approach and Brussels; stable won this race with Jasour, also a Group 2 winner as a 2yo, in 2024; one to take seriously. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Took a step backwards (behind Wise Approach) in the Prix Morny last time but has progressive form on home soil and may well rebound; placed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot then comfortably landed the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood (6f, good; Group 2); remains of interest. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to 6f thus far and has advanced his RPRs with each run; hardly has the profile of a typical Champagne winner after five defeats, but twice runner-up in Group 2s (comfortably held admittedly) and a slow start did for him in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes a month ago; battle hardened and stepping up 7f is unlikely to pose any problems, so by no means discounted. |
9/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Went close in a maiden over C&D in June on second start, no match for True Love when second of four in the Railway Stakes, 3/4l in front of Power Blue; one of the best maidens around judged on his second to Coppull (Coventry Stakes third) in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood nine days ago. |
20/1 |

2nd 7 (9) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in a maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) in June on second start then no match for exciting stablemate True Love when second of four in the Group 2 Railway Stakes there (6f, good); 0-3 and improvement needed but he's the sole Ballydoyle runner and no surprise if he takes a step forward. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held by Wise Approach on Group 1 Middle Park running (6f) but otherwise proved a useful and consistent sprinter last term, winning at Royal Ascot (Listed) and making the frame in several other notable races; solid claims, assuming he has trained on. |
12/1 |
|
5 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Windsor Castle winner who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Flying Childers (5f, good; Group 2) at Doncaster most recently, taking record to 121234; very likely to give his running but has seemingly reached his ceiling (form has levelled off). |
16/1 |
|
3 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; Windsor Castle winner (5f) who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Richmond at Goodwood (6f) most recently, taking form figures to 12123; again in the mix. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 5lb |
Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July (good); best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f, yielding); improved over moderate seasonal return at Cork when a 3l sixth at Navan last time (6f, good to yielding); others preferred. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 180y |
9st 5lb |
Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July; best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f yielding); below form in the Goffs Million on only 7f attempt; soft ground probably not ideal on seasonal debut at Cork. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won last May/June on first two starts and some creditable runs since, but he's finished held at Newmarket on both outings this spring (7f, good/good to firm), including behind stablemate Talk Of New York; others preferred. |
40/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts last May/June then fifth in a pair of Group 2 races; twice placed at Meydan early this year but beaten about 6l when third of five in conditions race over this C&D (good) recently and Cerro Blanco may well be the yard's chief hope under Billy Loughnane. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Brings useful 6f form that includes a success in the Woodcote as a 2yo and two placed efforts, since a gelding operation, at Meydan this year; a reasonably solid contender over this new trip, albeit William Buick prefers stablemate Talk Of New York. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden and a novice last summer before coming up short in stronger company; gelded over the winter; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Newbury last month (6f Listed; 40-1 at the time of withdrawal); this should be more suitable but others bring stronger claims. |
12/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Gained one of his 2yo wins over C&D but had his limitations rather exposed in better races subsequently; gelded after final outing; stiff task on on reappearance, being bottom of this pack on ratings. |

8th 3 (1) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Close fourth in AW Group 3 at Kempton last time but failed to show improvement and his limitations have been rather exposed since maiden/novice wins; the first-time headgear needs to help. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Winless after debut (5f, good to firm) last spring but he did finish second in Listed race (5f, good to soft) and Group 2 (6f, soft) in France; however, this looks a stern assignment for his reappearance and it's over 20 years since a 3yo won this race. |
20/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Just in front of Siren Suit here in the spring but is now more exposed than that rival; well behind Egoli on AW last time, again failing to back up his French Group 2 second. |
50/1 |

8 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Richmond defeat last time took his record since debut success to 0-5, albeit having raced on the unfavoured part of the track along with Egoli; good second in the Prix Robert Papin (6f Group 2) at Chantilly earlier in July; that French effort gives him leading claims on AW debut. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won maiden/novice races at Ayr (6f, good to firm/good) last season on two of his first three starts; came up short in Group/sales races otherwise but reappears having been gelded and he could prove well suited by this first crack at 5f; interesting on handicap debut, especially if backed. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won by 2l on debut at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from heavy defeat in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) with easy all-the-way win in Ayr novice (6f, good) this month; back up in grade today and still has potential at this level; not discounted. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Well down the field after racing too freely in the Coventry four weeks ago but created good impression when clearcut C&D (good to firm) winner on debut in May and is of strong interest if judged on that performance. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won in good style on debut at Hamilton (5f, good) in May; 2l third of 23 behind Havana Hurricane in the Listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month, keeping on well, when away from the main action, and he's open to improvement now at 6f; likely player. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
9-1 for last month's debut in a six-runner maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) but he belied those odds to win by 2.5l; represents a powerful 2yo stable and the ceiling of his ability is yet to be identified; could go well. |

28th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

46,000euros foal, £46,000 yearling; fourth foal; Havana Grey half-brother to 6f 2yo winner Sweet Sonata (RPR 73); dam 1m AW winner (59) from talented family; one of two newcomers for trainer who is enjoying an excellent season with his 2yos; one to consider, and the betting could be informative. |
