26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All runs on soft or very soft; the two defeats were in France and on his only British run he beat none other than last week's Great Voltigeur winner Maltese Cross in a 1m maiden at Ascot; has to be of interest off this mark on handicap debut, though market support would be welcomed after so long out. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten 1l by a fellow British-trained newcomer (who was favourite) in a 7f conditions race on soft ground at Deauville three weeks ago; difficult to get a grip on that form but the RPR of 85 was smart. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
His only defeat this season came at the hands of Christmas Day when second, beaten two and three-quarter lengths, in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft); snatched the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp (1m4f, good to firm) from the fire after trouble in running five weeks ago; has 5lb penalty but every race has brought improvement. |

2nd 11 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Debut was on soft; all four of his races were tight finishes and he won the last three; pulled it out of the fire against useful rivals in a valuable novice event at Newbury (1m2f, good) and narrowly maintained an advantage over Bay Of Brilliance as the pair drew clear in a ding-dong battle for the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; his pedigree is all about 1m4f, including with his sire and dam's sire both Derby winners, and he also shapes as if every yard today will suit; needs to pull out more again but has to be in each-way calculations. |
9/1 |

1st 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Went close on debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and beat notable rivals in a Newmarket maiden (1m, good) later in September; favourite for a valuable novice event at Newbury (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and battled his way to another narrow win, in a blanket finish but there's a good chance he will come on from that run and be suited by this longer trip (very much supported by pedigree); firmly in the mix. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the last three of his five starts; this season they were 1m2f handicaps (good; unraced on firmer) at Sandown and Newbury, latterly in the London Gold Cup in which he travelled very strongly before squeezing through over 1f out and prevailing virtually on the nod against Sahara King, as the pair drew about 2l clear; these powerful owners have acquired both horses since; up 7lb but improving and capable of better. |
4/1 |

1st 9 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Plenty of ability all 2yo starts, on final occasion always front rank to win a maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft); dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and he duly improved at 1m2f when reappearing in a six-runner handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on; up 6lb but should have more improvement in him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Promising third last year on first two starts (1m, good/soft) then won Haydock maiden (1m, good to soft) in September; his dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and it seems likely that he'll improve for this step up in trip on handicap/seasonal debut; trainer won this in 2024. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Tongue tied first time and improved when comfortably off the mark in a novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) in May, leading over 2f out; handicap debut was a tough task at Royal Ascot (1m2f; 20-1) and he tailed off having led 7f; dropped 2lb and early days. |
14/1 |

15th 17 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Tongue tied first time and improved when off the mark in eight-runner novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leading over 2f out and comfortably seeing off Thursday's tailed-off King George V longshot Blue Hercules; more to offer, which is needed on this handicap debut; non-runner (very stiff task) in Friday's 1m4f Group 2 here. |

2nd 9 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Wide-margin maiden winner in October; proved a little underwhelming when third on his handicap debut/reappearance at Newmarket (again 1m2f; first-time cheekpieces) in May and disappointed over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster (again favourite) seven weeks ago; no headgear today, which may help, and maybe this trip will be his sweet spot but there are questions to answer. |

5th 1 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Marked improvement through three-race 2yo career over 1m/1m2f on soft/good; could hardly have scored more easily when 1-7 on final start in that campaign, which he did not live up to when 5-4 favourite with cheekpieces back over Newmarket's 1m2f (good to firm) in handicap on reappearance but his trainer has a major rethink with today's trip; can't be ruled out. |
2/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Marked improvement through three-race 2yo career, beating a fair maiden by 15l when he won a four-runner maiden at 1-7 over C&D (good) final start; that can't be the most solid form but he could hardly have done it more easily and is a Derby entry; fascinating handicap debutant in first-time headgear. |
