14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 0-10 since debut win but he is much less exposed on AW than on turf and ran well, behind a subsequent winner, in this sphere on penultimate start; one to consider. |
10/1 |

4th 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Still to add to his debut win but twice a runner-up in handicaps this summer, more recently at Lingfield (7f, AW) three weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower; dangerous if left alone up front. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried following his successful debut at Ayr (6f, good) in June last year and wasn't up to it; second of nine in a handicap at Chester (7.7f, good to soft) in June, but has enough to prove after a modest AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last year; standout effort this season when winning 7f Group 2 Minstrel Stakes there (good to firm) in July; might have been unsuited by heavy ground when behind Soul Love back at 6f last time; not ruled out entirely but he would need a personal best. |

3rd 1 (8) |
27th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes last year; took on the best of the 1m 3yo colts in two Guineas races and the St James's Palace before dropping back in trip to beat Big Gossey in the 7f Group 2 Minstrel Stakes here; failed to feature in a 7f York Group 1, and has to rebound from that; may retain the speed to win a race of this standard. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Last two efforts in fast-ground Group 1s at 1m don't reflect his true ability and on going slower than good he has form figures of 114 (all on very soft) in Group 1s at 7f and 1m, with the defeat highly respectable on this season's reappearance when close up behind last weekend's Jacques le Marois winner Rayif; one to be interested in with cheekpieces given a go. |
14/1 |
|
11th 11 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran creditably in the Poulains on seasonal debut when bidding for a French Group 1 hat-trick; dropped away to finish last of six, having been pestered for the lead, in the St James's Palace Stakes since; that latest effort doesn't reflect his ability but he's again the stable second string behind Gstaad and remains below the standard required to win this prize. |
40/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Stablemate of Gstaad; appears versatile as regards ground; tough colt who proved a useful maiden prior to ending last season with a hat-trick when upped to 7f/1m in major 2yo races, including two French Group 1s; creditable fourth when favourite for the Poulains at Longchamp on reappearance; has significant form, may rate higher still over this distance and looks set to have his own way up front (gained his wins making all); one of the main players. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Changed hands for £700,000 on Monday; won Group 2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, soft) last summer; wasn't disgraced when sixth of eight in the same grade there on reappearance, fading on first go at 1m (good ground); this return to 7f should help but others have stronger claims on form. |
33/1 |

11th 25 (22) |
27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Won a 6f maiden on debut here and was a close second to Lady Iman in a Group 3 next time; rebounded from a poor Ascot run to win a Chantilly Group 2 then was third in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes back here; shapes as if she can stay this trip and seems to be the yard's pick of five. |
11/2 |

5 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won in fine style over C&D in April on debut; excellent runner-up effort behind the smart Lady Iman at Naas in May; no show in the Albany Stakes; gave a reassuring display when staying on strongly to land a Group 2 event at Chantilly; runner-up failed to advance the form in the Richmond Stakes, third has won at Group 3 at Deauville. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Top-class 2yo won twice at Group 2 level plus the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes; took the 1,000 Guineas Trial over 7f here on reappearance before claiming that Classic at Newmarket; has been held in four Group 1s since, including twice by stablemate Precise, and needs to find a bit more to turn the tables; new rider today. |
8/1 |

3rd 9 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept busy in 2yo campaign, which featured wins in the Queen Mary at this meeting (5f, good to firm) and the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); posted second Group 1 win in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) then came second to Precise in the Irish version at the Curragh (1m, good), beaten about 2l; work to do to turn the tables on her stablemate but she maybe wasn't at her very best last time; the standout danger. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 12 (1) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Queen Mary winner; showed top-class form over 6f later in the season; had American Queen behind in fourth when winning the Cheveley Park; beating Magny Cours and Pivotal Attack readily over 7f on reappearance; travelled strongly and stayed on powerfully to win the 1,000 Guineas; had the advantage of race fitness over stablemate Precise who should get closer now. |
