17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort when third in the Group 1 City Of York Stakes (7f, good to soft) in August, but hammered by Almeraq at Haydock next time and still a bit below par when fourth at the Arc meeting (7f, good); each-way claims if he's on a going day but well held on both runs at Ascot and carries clear risks. |

8th 7 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
His career-best RPRs have coincided with his last two encounters with slow ground, specifically a dominant win in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) last September and a very creditable third in the Group 1 City Of York Stakes (7f, good to soft) last month; he travelled well in the lead at York and the return to 6f on slow ground could be right up his street. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
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. |

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. |
50/1 |

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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who plundered the Lockinge and Lennox in a golden spell in 2024; winless since but had been competitive in minor Group races for current stable this year until a lesser effort in the Joel at Newmarket last week. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but he's been winless since taking out a Goodwood Group 2 six weeks later; running creditably for his new yard since May, however, including when second of seven in Leopardstown Group 2 (1m, good) in this headgear combination a fortnight ago; place claims again. |

2nd 1 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but winless since later that year; however, has run plenty of fine races in defeat since joining this yard including twice at this track lately and once at the Curragh; can be keen so a hood is added to cheekpieces today; a bit to find. |

Suited by ground softer than good; has Listed form but he has been nowhere near best (over 6f) in a light 2026 campaign and is on a near two-year losing spell; steps back up in distance. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Ran poorly on his reappearance at Salisbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; best efforts give him a squeak and he is effective on AW but others appeal more for win purposes. |

23rd May 2026 Good 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 6 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
33/1 |
|
11th 11 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who defied top weight on his stable/AW debut at Newcastle (7f) in June; however, he was tailed off in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, good) last month and it's hard to be confident after that. |
50/1 |
|
10th 6 (2) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He was making his AW/stable debut when getting up late to defy top weight in a 7f handicap at Newcastle in June in first-time blinkers/tongue-tie (both retained); he's had another break since and is untested at 1m, but he shaped last time as though it would be worth a go; entitled to respect. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Good 7f performer for a long while; has shown career-best form in his 1m attempts this season, coming off a solid pace to register a 50-1 success in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (good to firm) then running creditably in the Sussex Stakes and Prix du Moulin; in the mix, especially if getting another well-run race. |

4th 9 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
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. |

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. |
6/4 |

3rd 8 (2) |
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. |

No success since landing last year's Madrid Handicap at Naas (7f, soft); started this season with a second placing behind Big Gossey on soft in the Gladness in March; in rear in 7f Group 2 won by Power Blue here in July; down in trip after a moderate 1m run at Killarney. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

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. |

Low-mileage 4yo who made a respectable start for his new stable when fourth of six at Sandown (7f, soft) three weeks ago, despite pulling hard; may build on that if settling better; raced on good or softer on turf so far. |

9st 3lb |
Two 7f wins from three starts last year, but he was only fifth of seven on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in July; been gelded and left James Tate for 12,000gns since; still early but he needs to find more back on turf for new yard. |

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. |
