3rd 10 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very progressive and unbeaten (4-4) in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) where he won going away; finished third, tasting first defeat but not disgraced, at Sandown on reappearance; may resume improvement with that outing under his belt and show that he's still a likely candidate for high ranking in the miling division this term; big player. |

3rd 3 (1) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive in his first campaign last year and still unbeaten (4-4); won going away from Opera Ballo in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on final start; remains one to follow and has the makings of a Group 1 colt this term; commands respect. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Hammered in the betting on his first two starts and he followed a debut win at Kempton (7f, AW) in January with easy win in Thirsk novice (good to firm) over six months later; looked to have his work cut out in Haydock Group 3 (also 1m, good) but was once again very strong in the market and kept his unbeaten record with a convincing success (Prague and Snow Master behind) three weeks ago; still a touch raw that day and he's starting to look quite exciting. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner signed off last season with excellent placed efforts in a Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) and a Listed event at Craon (1m, very soft); not disgraced behind Docklands in Listed Doncaster Mile on seasonal return; sharper for that and this British raider is respected. |

3rd 2 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins from his first five starts before finishing second on final two runs last season at Haydock (1m Group 3, good) and Craon (1m Listed, very soft); he has something to find today but this lightly raced 4yo is open to further improvement this term and could give a good account. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Took his record to 3-5 when producing a smart handicap performance over 7f here four weeks ago; only sixth in a Chester Listed race prior to that but that probably shouldn't be taken to suggest he can't make an impact at a higher level; all turf starts on good. |

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. |
20/1 |

10th 1 (23) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Pretty consistent in Listed/Group races in 2025 without performing to his very best; losing sequence now stands at 18 and he reappears after seven months off in his first handicap since July 2022; cheekpieces left off and others preferred. |
25/1 |

9th 3 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Retains plenty of ability and finished nicely for respectable effort in 1m Group 3 at Haydock most recently; going back up in trip looks a positive but his long losing sequence remains a negative. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (15) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Good effort in the Britannia at Royal Ascot is flanked by two Ascot wins, latest in big field on King George day (1m, good) when taking form figures to 123131; progressive and very solid. |
11/2 |

1st 8 (17) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive 3yo who strolled home in a C&D handicap in May and performed even better when a close third in the Britannia here (again good to firm) the following month; that run more than justifies a further 5lb rise in the weights and he's a major player again on a course he clearly handles very well. |

9st 2lb |
Announced himself when winning Group 2 here (1m, soft) in September 2024 but 0-8 since and he's become a little tricky to place; had wind surgery in December, which might help, but he's at the bottom of the list on RPRs. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner (1m, soft) last autumn; has failed to repeat that form but none of his 2025 races (80-1 in the Champion Stakes 11 days ago) were on softer than good, so he could be of renewed interest. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Impressed when winning two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth (7f/1m) just over a year apart; too keen when sixth to Zeus Olympios in 1m Group races at Haydock (led) and Newmarket (held up) in the autumn; has switched from Tom Dascombe to Andrew Balding ahead of reappearance (same owners); also gelded which could help to settle him down; Double Rush's exploits this spring underline the yard's prowess with new recruits and this one has similar potential. |
3/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unbeaten in two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth just over a year apart, impressing with the way he drew clear late on over 1m in August; up in grade but went off too hard when fading to finish sixth behind Zeus Olympios in Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) three weeks ago; bundles to find but he's the type to run above himself on a track that might favour speed; hood added. |
20/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Unbeaten in two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth just over a year apart, impressing with the way he drew clear late on over 1m on return three weeks ago; definitely more to come but this requires a fairly big chunk of improvement; the ground is almost certain to be slower this time but the same connections' useful half-brother Auld Toon Loon is very much at home on good or softer. |

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. |

3rd 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |

Ended last season with a pair of 1m victories, the latest in a Nottingham Listed event (soft); not totally disgraced when fifth of eight in a Group 3 at Dusseldorf (1m, heavy) on last month's return, but that does indicate his limitations; races beyond an extended 1m for the first time; stable also runs Royal Rhyme. |

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 |

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. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |

8st 11lb |
Highly progressive filly who took her record to 3-4 when making all by 2l in C&D filllies' Listed race (good) four weeks ago; more on her plate against the boys but still dangerous if getting her own way in front. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |

Comfortably defied a penalty in C&D novice contest on reappearance and ran well upped to Listed grade at Sandown since, taking form figures to 113; this improving filly holds a Group 1 entry; likely player. |

3rd 6 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won last September on sole 2yo start (7f, AW) and made it 2-2 in Haydock novice (1m, good to firm) in May; today is a much tougher test of her credentials but she won in fine style last time and is a sister to a Listed winner; could go well for in-form yard. |
