11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
4-4 in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back to somewhere approaching that form when third to Notable Speech in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) and respectable fourth to Ten Bob Tony in the Queen Anne here (straight 1m, good to firm) since, keeping on again after getting outpaced; likely to go well but More Thunder was ahead of him on those last two starts. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
4-4 in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) where he won going away from Opera Ballo; unable to confirm placings with that opponent at Sandown on reappearance but wasn't disgraced and he subsequently ran better, behind Notable Speech and More Thunder, in the Lockinge at Newbury; may yet tap back into his tremendous earlier progress and prove that he can still become a top miler; remains of major interest. |

3rd 10 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

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. |

Reasonably consistent, including at Listed/Group level, until running poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; perhaps best watched as he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Successful at Haydock in sole handicap attempt then ran well behind a notable rival in Group 3 at same venue; no further progress in three runs since but he is proving reasonably consistent and returns to handicap level with Toby Moore taking off a useful 7lb; could go well. |
25/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

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. |

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. |

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. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
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. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |

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. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |

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 |

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. |
