11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked fortunate to win at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July on debut; third of five in a novice on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in August but, having been gelded, failed to stay in a nursery at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; drop back in trip may help but others are more solid. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Both starts on good to firm; fortuitous winner at Sandown (7f; runner-up unlucky) but wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Newmarket (1m); gelded since; this Godolphin runner remains open to progress and must go on the shortlist. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
13-2 and the apparent stable second-string when winning on last month's debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm); the unlucky runner-up has since gone one better; now carries a penalty against some interesting opponents but this half-brother to a Group 3 winner could have lots more to offer. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come. |

1st 2 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied. |
14/1 |

9th 6 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only beat two rivals home in his three novice/maiden runs as a 2yo (all 1m); gelded since last seen; surprising if this stoutly-bred 3yo couldn't leave those efforts well behind now his stamina is being more fully tested. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to firm, as he showed again when he finished strongest to be pipped in 1m6f Group 2 at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (Point Of Law a close fourth, Galiyan sixth); that was the second race in succession in which he's been beaten a nose, and his sole win from eight races came at odds-on (from newcomer Point Of Law) in a novice, but his form is on an upward curve and he brings proven stamina; looks set for another big shout. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on good to firm; sole win from seven races came at odds-on in a Yarmouth novice in April from newcomer Point Of Law; useful form most starts and he lost out by just a nose in four-runner Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f; sole start in cheekpieces) last time, registering his highest rating; also likely to stay this trip but other candidates seem to bring more potential. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record is only 1-6 but he's consistent on bare figures and has two pieces of Group 3 form, last time fourth of five (not disgraced) in a Chester Vase won by the the colt who is now Derby favourite; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Sole 3yo in this field and is open to further improvement; ran well behind Bow Echo in one of his 2yo races; good third in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; Group 3) on reappearance; adds interest. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won on debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last August before Listed fourth at Haydock (1m, good), and he rallied for close third in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October when last seen; he's the only one of these who hasn't run this year and it's a tough assignment on his comeback, but his latest form reads well and he has potential at 1m2f. |
25/1 |
|
3 (7) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown fairly useful form in winning on the July course here and finishing fourth in Haydock Listed contest, both over 1m; however, needs improvement on bare ratings in this field. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
3yo who was placed in the spring in his first three handicaps (1m2f/1m, good) before beating his four rivals to win at Sandown (1m1f, good) last month; this is a tougher assignment but he travelled well last time and could have more to offer; possible contender. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden who has largely consistent form, latterly 332 since handicapping, latest effort behind Law Court at Sandown (1m); along with that rival, looks a solid contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 record includes three runs here but he's run well on all of those visits, including when third of six in a hot Class 4 on his April return; filled that position again at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good) 12 days ago and this free-going sort may benefit from today's drop back to 1m; player. |
