22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced at York but he does go on any ground, and his career-best form came on soft when impressing in a 7f Group 2 at Doncaster last September; creditable effort conceding weight all round when runner-up to Paborus in a Group 3 over 6f (AW) on his return to Britain in June and it's best to put a line through his run behind Lake Forest at Glorious Goodwood (7f) as he raced far too freely off a slacking pace; with a truer gallop on the cards and no ground issues, he could be a lively one. |

6th 3 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Creditable second, conceding weight all round, in 6f AW Group 3 at Newcastle latest start; readily bagged Group 2 honours at Doncaster on last attempt over 7f on home soil and may be capable of further progress at this distance; one of the main contenders. |
5/1 |

1-1 on AW, namely a 7f novice a Kempton last March; recorded a big personal best when winning the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) and his two defeats since have been excusable; tough task trying to give weight away back sprinting after 133 days off. |

9st 4lb |
0-8 since debut and, although he ran respectably when second in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September, he was only ninth in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp next time; again looks vulnerable. |

2nd 3 (9) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to encounter slow ground; lightly raced; has largely progressive RPRs, including at Group level, but was disappointing in the Hungerford most recently; chance of a rebound partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has usually shown improved form; ended last season with second in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and he returned from 351 days off with a slow-starting second to Rage Of Bamby in Group 3 here (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; going back up to 7f can help and he's firmly in the mix. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Front-running Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since then and had experienced many reverses before being placed in two Irish 7f Group 3 races this term; made much of the running when second on soft ground here in June; similar scenario when third at the Curragh last month; likely to be in the mix. |

9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix. |

Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
12-time winner, including 2024 edition of this race; has a bit to prove after two down-the-field finishes but faced tough task in Group 1 July Cup here last time and he looked as good as ever when creditable third in Group 3 on Rowley Mile here (6f, good) in April; in the shake-up if back on song. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Multiple winner, most recently when sent over to Qatar in February, but his form has regressed since and this is a difficult task even if a revival materialises; gained his C&D wins at handicap/Listed level; yet to score above Group 3. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |

Suited by ground softer than good; made all in the 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but struggled in French Group 1 next time; best to assume he'll need the outing on return from 14-month absence, unless the market suggests otherwise. |

Ffos Las maiden winner (7.4f, soft) last August who twice made the frame at Group 3 level before excelling himself when second of seven in the Group 1 Kameko Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October; slightly disappointing when only third of seven in a Deauville Group 3 (7f, heavy) last month, but may have had an excuse and this looks a good opportunity. |

Group placed over 7f last June but not so good afterwards in 2025; sold out of Kevin Ryan's yard for 72,000gns and gelded since last run; wears first-time tongue-tie and blinkers; stiff task on stable/seasonal debut. |

Soft-ground Listed winner last autumn; best effort this term when second to Quinault in 7f Group 3 at York (good) in June; ran poorly with cheekpieces added (retained) in a Doncaster Group 2 last month but he's a major player if back to anywhere near his best. |

Prior to this year all his best form was at 7f on ground good or slower, and yet he popped up at 50-1 in a fast-ground Queen Anne and proved that was no flash in the pan with his close fourth to Bow Echo in the Sussex Stakes (again 1m on good to firm), in which he was nearest at the finish having been held up out the back; hard to knock. |

Came off the good pace set by Opera Ballo when 50-1 winner of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time, completing a quickfire June double that was initiated over 7f at Epsom; still unexposed as a miler and has frame possibilities provided the latest piece of form is backed up. |
14/1 |

1st 8 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Champion 2yo last season, having won the Middle Park and Dewhurst (both on soft ground), and he ran well in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; rather a disappointing favourite in the 6f Commonwealth Cup, then couldn't quite get the job done in the 7f Prix Jean Prat having held every chance; drops back from Group 1 level with leading claims on best form. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won two Group 1s at Newmarket last autumn (6f/7f, soft), namely the Middle Park and the Dewhurst; reappeared with excellent third in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good), where he was outstayed by the first two; unraced on fast ground; has the potential to be a top-class sprinter. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Good-ground wins on first two runs before close second in Group 2 Gimcrack (6f, good), then enjoyed stellar autumn here with Group 1 wins in the Middle Park (6f, soft) and Dewhurst (7f, soft), becoming Champion Two-Year-Old; had a racecourse gallop here last month; stayed on well in the Dewhurst which provides optimism he'll see out 1m; a tongue-tie goes on; could have a big say, even though William Buick rides stablemate Ruling Court. |

Not won since his Madrid Handicap success 18 months ago at Naas (7f, soft) but has run some fine races, most notably when second to Diego Velazquez on good at the Curragh last year and filled the same spot behind Big Gossey on soft in the Gladness in March; well below form last time on firm; highest-rated in the field but may need ground to soften up before he's at his best. |

Won his maiden over 6f here in 2024 (yielding to soft) and bagged the Madrid handicap at Naas last season (7f, soft to heavy); best run since was when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in this race last year (good to yielding); beaten 1.5l behind Big Gossey in a C&D Listed race on return (soft to heavy); not at his best at Leopardstown last time; appears to give his best on softer ground. |

Easy win at Lingfield (7f, good) on debut before pitched into Group 2 company for his second start; unsurprisingly came up short there but he was quickly back on track when defying a penalty at Southwell (7f) last October; bred to stay 1m and there should be more to come this year. |

Far too strong for his rivals when winning a 7f maiden at Lingfield (good ground) on his debut in August; tailed off at Doncaster three weeks ago but that was a Group 2 on soft ground; still has potential and he is back in calmer waters today. |

Wootton Bassett colt who made a promising start to his career with ready win at Lingfield (7f, good) six weeks ago; open to progress but that form gives him loads to find upped markedly in class. |
