2nd 6 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last season concluded with a Listed win at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) and he's run some good races in defeat this year, the best of them at Chester (1m2f, good) in May when third in the Group 2 Huxley Stakes; returns from a break and he's a leading form contender. |

4th 3 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Very useful performer whose good-ground form includes a close second in this race last year and respectable sixth to stablemate Boiling Point at Goodwood latest start; has registered the majority of wins on softer, notably in Group 2 in 2024 and Listed grade in 2025 (both 1m); major player. |

6th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in 2024; creditable third, faring best of the runners who came off steady pace, in Group 2 at Chester (good) upped to 1m2f last time; unexposed at this distance and enters calculations despite carrying a 3lb penalty for Listed success (1m, soft) last autumn. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Regained the winning thread in Pontefract Listed event (1m, good) on his return to British soil in July and respectable 1l fourth to Jonquil in Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm; Ice Max 2l back in fifth) 13 days ago; should go well but Ice Max met trouble in running in West Sussex so he's no good thing to confirm that superiority over Karl Burke's charge. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Had thirditis this year until regaining the winning thread in Pontefract Listed event (1m, good) returned to British soil last time, taking record to 6-22; has several pieces of Group form, notably a success at Deauville last August; solid claims back up in class. |
4/1 |
|
4 (5) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has winning form in Britain, France and UAE; has a touch of thirditis this year but went close in Chantilly Group 3 over 1m most recently, running close to his best; again likely to be thereabouts. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Talented mare but she needs things to fall right, as evidenced by her last win coming in July 2024; after a solid start to this year's campaign she couldn't justify favouritism when third in Pontefract Listed event (1m, good; Crystal Flyer second) in July and made no impact in Ascot Group 3 18 days later; narrowly sets the standard, however, and she should be finishing off well in her bid to better last year's third place in this race. |
7/2 |

7th 1 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run up to 16; has run some fine races in that period but her hold-up style dictates that things need to drop right and she got going too late when third in 1m Pontefract Listed race 18 days ago; prior to that she finished around 2l behind the reopposing Kon Tiki when eighth of 15 to Blue Bolt in the Duke Of Cambridge over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm). |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
All starts on good/faster; won the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood last August and bagged 1m Listed win at Ascot this May; close third in hot 1m1f conditions race at Goodwood three weeks ago and could be involved. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Group 2 Celebration Mile here (good to firm) last August and bagged Listed win at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in May; below par in Group 1 and Group 2 races on last two runs and entitled to respect back down in grade. |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm) last August; mixed results in international races on next three starts but back on the domestic scene with a defeat of Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May; too keen and never involved back in Group 1 company at Newbury since, with reopposing pair More Thunder and Zeus Olympios comfortably ahead. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Never out of the first two in seven races and arrives here on a wave of improvement after going close in a Group 2 at Goodwood last month (1m, good to firm; won on soft and performed well on heavy); raised another level here but wouldn't be too dismissive should conditions take a turn for the worse. |
25/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Has built up a solid record (212211) over 7f and dead-heated in Group 3 contest against her own sex at Glorious Goodwood (good) most recently, adding to her Carlisle Listed win (soft); shapes as if she'll stay this new trip; improving filly who has clear possibilities. |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 (10) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Listed runner-up on reappearance at Epsom (7f, good to soft) in June then went one better in good style in Listed race at Carlisle (7f, soft; even-money favourite); this is a much tougher test of her credentials and she's unraced on good/faster, but she's unexposed and open to further progress. |
