24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Formerly trained by Richard Hannon but remained with same owner; produced his best performance in most recent domestic start, namely a narrow success in Group 3 at last year's Ebor festival at York (1m1f, good to firm); may have more to offer this term; respected. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who was a close Listed second on his reappearance (1m1f, good to soft) then wasn't beaten far in mid-division in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft); things haven't panned out ideally when third in 1m Listed/Group 3 races the last twice (including on good to firm) and this extra furlong could be in his favour; not ruled out. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Ran creditably, one place behind Persica, in Epsom Group 3 last time but is now worse off with that rival; has to overcome a 3lb penalty for narrow Listed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/firmer ground; rallied gamely for Listed honours at Goodwood (1m2f) most recently and, assuming another gritty display is on the way, should remain competitive; top on his peak figure, achieved when defying top weight in last year's Cambridgeshire (1m1f). |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Defied top weight in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) and holds a leading chance provided that smart handicap form is reproduced; hasn't transferred it back to Group level this term but he's respected on ratings and is a similar type to last year's winner of this race (for same connections). |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good second (off 20lb lower) in the Britannia at this meeting two years ago but he was progressive at the time, whereas his form has dipped in last two outings (normally a consistent sort, including at Group level); 2-2 at the Curragh compared to only 1-16 elsewhere; wears first-time headgear. |
50/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Form dipped last time when he raced too freely; otherwise a broadly consistent sort who may rebound, provided he settles better; has Group form and can't be dismissed from a ratings perspective but may be more interesting when back at the Curragh where he's 2-2 (only 1-15 elsewhere). |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a valuable Curragh handicap last May and impressed in a Listed win there (also 1m, good) the following month; again had Ryan Moore riding when he looked a shade unlucky in York Group 3 (1m1f, good to firm) in August; finished last year with good efforts in Group 2s at Leopardstown and Longchamp; back in that sort of form when close fifth in Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) 17 days ago and he's a likely player with Moore retaking the reins. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won a maiden and two handicaps from his five starts, the latest win at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f); good fourth of eight when upped to Group 3 at York (1m1f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; needs to maintain his progressive profile but that is possible. |
3/1 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has run four times, with his sole defeat coming at the hands of Wednesday's close Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; made it 2-2 in handicaps when winning in a big field at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago (1m1f, good; has also won on good to firm); today's company demands further and sizeable improvement but that can't be ruled out from this progressive 3yo. |
11/2 |

12 (13) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three runs have come on AW/good to firm; back to winning ways at Sandown (1m1f) in June on his first handicap start; did it in convincing fashion and this unexposed 3yo could take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin. |
66/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long. |
11/1 |

9th 4 (5) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
No wins since landing two of his first four starts having been highly tried in the meantime, but he has a consistent record in Group/Listed company shy of the top level (22363522); again ran well when chasing home the smart Damysus on his return in the Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; shortlisted with the run under his belt. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He's contested quality handicaps at Newbury and Ascot on his three starts this term, performing respectably and beaten around 4l each time; this 7yo probably needs something extra to snap a long losing run but he's edging down the weights and has run some big races here; worth a second look. |
10/1 |
|
10th 14 (30) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Very useful on his day and has plenty of Listed/Group form; however, needs to improve on his Newbury handicap efforts this season (beaten 4l both times) and remains badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell stretching back to 2023. |
20/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
7yo who's spent the vast majority of his career in Group or Listed races and this time last year he was fifth on this card in the Group 1 Lockinge; only his second handicap when, like so many others, he met traffic problems in the Spring Cup over C&D (28-1) four weeks ago; Rossa Ryan gets back on board and they are not totally dismissed. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Can front-run; had 1m wins at Newmarket and York last season, with two seconds at Ascot in between including the Royal Hunt Cup; makes plenty of appeal on that evidence but needs to bounce back from an underwhelming reappearance when second favourite at Newmarket two weeks ago. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Can front-run; 1m wins here last April and in 17-runner race at the York Ebor meeting in August, with his two seconds at Ascot in between including the Royal Hunt Cup; last two outings leave him with a bit to prove, as they were 1m1f, but it's not too hard to excuse them and he is a strong contender. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive in 1m handicaps, going close twice in a row at Ascot (including the Royal Hunt Cup) before winning the Clipper Handicap here (good to firm) on Thursday, doing it in good style having had to wait for a clear run; this would be a very quick turnaround but he has Group-race potential. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo from top yard; headstrong up front in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f) last June and also failed to settle when held up in York Group 3 (1m1f) last August on his only subsequent start; returns to 1m for reappearance but whether he's calmed down after being gelded may be the key. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two novice wins from his first three starts (1m, AW/good to firm), with a close Listed second at Newcastle (1m, AW) in between; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June when last seen and could do with settling better, but this unexposed 3yo retains potential for his top yard now back down in trip and in grade; possible player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Impressive win on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and beaten just a neck in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; stable has won the last two runnings; leading form claims even under penalty. |
