1st 3 (2) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Holds outstanding claims here despite having only a debut win to his name; form last season and this term ties in with several top-class Ballydoyle colts, including when fourth behind three of them in the Prix du Jockey-Club and when splitting Constitution River and Hawk Mountain in the Eclipse. |
2/7 |

2nd 4 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-6 since debut success doesn't tell the whole story as he's shown progressive form behind Ballydoyle colts, including the subsequent Derby winner, in last four appearances; did well to finish fourth in the French Derby (10.5f, good) most recently, having met traffic issues and come from a lot further back than the first three; provided the cards drop more kindly, has possibilities in this intriguing rematch with Constitution River and Hawk Mountain. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 (2) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Debut maiden winner; lost out by only a short head to Christmas Day in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes here in October on his fourth start; built on that when 2l second to Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud; does not need to improve much to win a Pattern race; solid chance here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Built upon previous promise to win a 14-runner handicap at Naas (6f, good) last month on his second start of the season (prominent throughout); this Irish raider is open to further improvement and entitled to respect. |

1st 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 9lb |
Beat the debuting Michael's Well in C&D maiden (yielding) in October and second over 5f on testing ground at Cork on return, having led both times. |

3rd 7 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up on debut last July and 5-5 since, posting Group 1 wins on his last two starts in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) and the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); he's never faced a rival as good as Ombudsman but was impressive when winning the Eclipse by 3l and has the potential to give the Godolphin horse a serious challenge. |
11/8 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Ballydoyle colt who went close in a strong maiden on debut and is 4-4 since, most recently beating stablemate Hawk Mountain by just under 1l in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f); impressive at Chester the time before and that Listed form has worked out well; top on the figures, still improving to boot and represents a trainer who has landed this prize nine times, including with 3yos (among them a French Derby winner) in four of the last five years; duly much respected. |
5/6 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 1 entry at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f; by Wootton Bassett out of unplaced sister to 1m4f/1m6f Group 1 winner Wonderful Tonight; short-headed at Newmarket before making all when odds-in in both a Galway maiden (7f, yielding) last July and five-runner Group 2 at the Curragh (7f, good) last August; both wins came with authority and the pedigree is encouraging for 1m2f; his enthusiasm for getting on with it last year raises more of a question but the 1m2f French Derby has been mentioned by his trainer as an objective. |

5th 10 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who has got better with each run this season and impressed in the Group 3 Meld at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) last month before finishing second in the Group 3 Gordon at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) under a 3lb penalty (same today); runner-up in a Group 2 on yielding to soft last September; this versatile sort could be in the mix back down in trip. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran in two Group 2s as 2yo and progressive at Listed/Group 3 levels this season, winning well at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) two weeks ago when he reverted to front-running; probably stayed 1m2f on penultimate start, without shouting that he's a 1m4f horse. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Smart Curragh form at two; beat top-class filly Kensington Lane on debut and then finished second in Group 2 races won by Constitution River and Hawk Mountain; 2026 form includes links to top-class performers Thesecretadversary and Causeway; a promoted second behind Isaac Newton in a 1m1f Listed event at Navan; reversed form with that rival on latest. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Made the frame in three races at this venue last season, all won by Ballydoyle-trained colts; most meaningful form when third of five in a 7f Group 2 won by Constitution River; odds-on for a comfortable maiden win at Gowran on reappearance; massive rise in class for his first attempt at this trip. |
33/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Ran to a very useful level in three starts last season on varying ground from 6f-7f; beaten 1l on debut behind New Zealand at the Curragh; improved to be beaten 5.5l into third in Group 2 by the smart Constitution River; similar level when second to Trojan Warrior dropped in trip 183 days ago, went with enthusiasm and traded short in-running; handles soft and should be tough to beat on return for yard in form. |
