16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Usually held up in rear; raced at 1m1f/1m2f for previous stable; record of 4-6 (over 6f/7f) last term for new yard featured wins in a major handicap at Newmarket and Group 2 at Newbury, both on good to firm ground; respectable fourth in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) on final start; shapes as if this new trip is worth exploring and may rate higher still. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
So nearly got up in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot in hat-trick bid and those progressive efforts over 6f were followed by his Bunbury Cup win at Newmarket over 7f, this time getting the better of a narrow verdict; those last two races were on good to firm; better still is needed from him but he looks sure to taste Group-race success at some point and it could be today. |

9st 8lb |
Has shown useful and progressive form over 6f this term for new stable, winning twice on the other Newmarket track then strong-finishing second (nearly got up) in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; due to go up 3lb in future; looks ready for this step back up in distance and commands respect. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |

2nd 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Can front-run; his form took off once the cheekpieces went on over 7f last season, including for wins on good to firm and on soft, the latter in a Listed race at this track; reached even greater heights with his Group 2 win at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days ago, challenging over 2f out to score at 25-1; there was an element of having the run of the race that day and he's now penalised, but the win was clearcut and he needs respect. |

9st 3lb |
3yo who was third in a Group 2 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August before bolting up in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); well worth a crack at a Group 1 judged on that latest performance but he needs to transfer his Doncaster improvement - and some more - back to better ground. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |

Record of 1-1 on AW compared to 0-7 on turf; however, he has two pieces of very useful form in this sphere, including third in the Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Group 2) last time; enters calculations, having shown there's possibly a race of this nature in him. |

9st 3lb |
Won 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) in July; ran just as well when a close fourth in the Sprint Cup at Haydock two weeks ago; was well drawn there, however, and her penalty could leave her vulnerable on a rare 5f run. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
5yo mare who made Group-race breakthrough when 33-1 for the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury in July, when she had nearly 2l to spare; unsuited by the return to 7f since and has been supplemented for this race at a cost of £20,000, but nevertheless looks opposable today. |
25/1 |

4th 7 (4) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Began the campaign with two heavy defeats but she was reinvigorated by cheekpieces at York last month and hit a major new high in them in a Group 3 at this track (6f) eight days later, winning at 33-1 by nearly 2l from King's Gamble; fine chance if that form is repeated but, although she ran three times over 7f in 2022, she's not crying out for a return to this trip on the recent evidence. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of 11 in this 12 months ago (soft); mixed form this season and she blew the start at Glorious Goodwood two runs ago, but she's caught the eye on occasions and was a Listed winner at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in May; capable of being in the mix. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dual Listed winner (7f/6f) who was a strong-finishing fourth behind two of these in 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) in July; blowing the start ruined her chance in 7f Goodwood Group 3 on latest outing; could still be capable of better but it is very much needed. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Two-time Listed winner (7f/6f) who returned to form with a staying-on fourth against males in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury 11 days ago (6f, good to firm; denied clear run); shaped that day as though the return to 7f would be a plus and she's one to consider. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Highly tried after trouncing Almeraq in a Yarmouth novice (6f, good to firm; receiving 7lb) last June, finishing second in the Jersey Stakes nine days later and not beaten far in the July Cup the following month; finished his 3yo campaign quietly but possible he'll kick on again this year. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Posted a personal best when a close seventh to No Half Measures in the July Cup at Newmarket, but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since (both at 7f); faces a stern assignment, even if returning to his peak, but at least this drop back to sprint distances looks a positive move. |

All turf starts on good to firm; took his first step backwards in the Hungerford Stakes over C&D most recently; ran well in the Jersey Stakes and July Cup, and holds a leading chance provided he rebounds. |

Three 7f Group 3 wins against her own sex, the latest on reappearance at Lingfield (good to firm) in May; 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot proved far too hot for her next time but she has a place chance in this line-up. |

9th 15 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

5-10 including three Group 3 wins, the latest on reappearance at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month when taking the Chartwell Fillies' Stakes for the second consecutive season; also highly effective at 6f; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's certainly needed today. |

Gelded before reappearing in May with a Listed win at Haydock (7f, good to firm); however, he needs a bigger performance to take this and three lesser runs have followed in Group races; the last two were in blinkers, which are now joined by a tongue-tie. |

0-4 over 1m+ last year; dropped in trip and made all in 7f Listed race at Haydock in May but didn't give his running in Group 3 over same C&D three weeks later; now runs in a sprint for the first time since his (winning) debut and also tackles the AW for the first time, so he has a bit to prove, although first-time blinkers could have a positive effect. |

0-8 since debut and, although he ran respectably when second in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September, he was only ninth in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp next time; again looks vulnerable. |

Yet to encounter slow ground; lightly raced; has largely progressive RPRs, including at Group level, but was disappointing in the Hungerford most recently; chance of a rebound partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Lightly raced 4yo who has usually shown improved form; ended last season with second in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and he returned from 351 days off with a slow-starting second to Rage Of Bamby in Group 3 here (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; going back up to 7f can help and he's firmly in the mix. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Impressive in the Group 3 Fred Darling over C&D (good) in April on reappearance; she's not seen her race out since in the 1,000 Guineas, Irish Guineas or Coronation Stakes, all admittedly top races over 1m but she tailed off in first-time cheekpieces in the last named, which prompts concern today even though she's back at 7f. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Impressive in the Fred Darling but her subsequent efforts, upped to 1m, in the 1,000 Guineas (comfortably held) and Irish equivalent (finished fourth) suggest she ideally needs a return to 7f; now goes in cheekpieces; not certain to get home. |

25th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Winner and Group-placed at two; belied her 33-1 odds with a clear-cut success in the 7f Fred Darling at Newbury on seasonal debut; fading when stumbling over a furlong down in the 1,000 Guineas; still has to prove she stays this far. |
