18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
4-8 at Newbury but he was a below-form third in this race last year on heavy going (acts on soft); Sandown in April and Glorious Goodwood in August made it eight Group 3 wins now in total; held up as usual in Ireland last time but he did not get run of the race; the chance of heavy ground is far more of a concern but he has a leading form chance if the ground is okay. |

5th 1 (6) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
8yo finished second in this race two years ago and better form in recent years, now a winner of eight races at Group 3 level, including this term at Sandown (1m2f) and most recently last month's Glorious Goodwood Stakes, producing a tidy turn of foot in softish ground to win it for second consecutive year; sets a high standard. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second in Group 3 contest at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last time but this is a better race for the grade; inconsistent otherwise this term; returns to AW for first time since debut win. |
14/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Well below form on his sole run on softer than good; last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood; held up and never got into it in 16-runner Listed event at Royal Ascot next time; chance relies on that one Goodwood run. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Ran respectably in Group 3 events the last twice; creditable second in this race two years ago but faces a difficult task on ratings today and has never won above Listed level. |
25/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) this July before his respectable, front-running third of five in Group 3 at Goodwood two weeks ago; there's a stamina query (after two attempts at 1m6f in 2022) and he may well need to show his best form for nearly two years. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; has never raced on soft and not seen on good to soft since he was a bit below his best in this race in 2023; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another four weeks ago but he probably needs to return to 2023 form if he's to be competitive today. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Smart 3yo on the Flat; just 1-5 over hurdles, and his habit of racing far too freely remains a worry, but he wasn't beaten far in a valuable novices' handicap at Sandown (2m, good) last month and is in much calmer waters here. |
11/10 |

8th 13 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Showed smart Flat form as a 3yo; managed to win in December but has otherwise broadly been too free for his own good since switched to hurdles; ideally needs to settle better. |
33/1 |

4th 1 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
High-class Flat performer at his best who has taken well to hurdles, winning at Huntingdon in December before pulling too hard and disappointing on handicap debut back there two weeks later; key player with Alex Chadwick offsetting 3lb of his penalty now back in novice company. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent in the market for last year's Epsom Derby after winning the Sandown Classic Trial (1m2f, good to soft), but not seen again until Meydan in March this year; hasn't really threatened in four Group races since returning and ran particularly poorly at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is a drop in grade but he still has plenty to prove; entered in the Irish St Leger. |
5/2 |

5th 3 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made it four wins from first five starts when impressive in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft; won twice on soft as 2yo) last April; missed the rest of 2024 and has not sparked in the same way in his three outings this season, gelded before latest; mixed messages but returning to softer ground today could be a big plus point. |

3rd 1 (2) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Made it four wins from first five starts when impressive in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) last term; missed the rest of 2024 and wasn't at the top of his game on either run this spring; something to prove but gelded since last time which could help him tap back into his earlier promise; two wins on good ground, unraced on faster; interesting. |
