16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Returns to the scene of his biggest performance but that 100-1 success in last year's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over C&D (good) still seems something of a fluke, having been seemingly helped by the draw; has failed to back up the form in races won by Opera Ballo and Notable Speech this season, beaten about 7l both times; dubious claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have the ideal set-up at Sandown (behind Zeus Olympios) on reappearance but still needs to prove the form of his 100-1 success in last year's Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II (1m, good) at Ascot, where he was possibly helped by the draw, can be backed up; may be flattered by his mark. |

4th 1 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who finished third in this race last year; returns to Sandown but may be flattered by his new rating, having been perhaps helped by the draw when registering a 100-1 success in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (good) on last appearance; needs to prove he can back up that form. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record. |
33/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful but is 0-12 since completing a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024, essentially proving quite difficult to place; hasn't strictly improved for a switch to hold-up tactics this term (seemingly being taught to settle better); unlikely to regain the winning thread on these terms. |
40/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed runner-up at Sandown (1m, soft) last September and third in the same grade at Haydock (7f, good) four weeks ago on reappearance; however, he was comfortably beaten in that latest start and is 0-11 since winning novice contests at Doncaster in spring 2024 on second and third starts; up against it. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Produced a very smart handicap performance at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, registering an RPR of 121 and taking record to 4-8; leading contender provided that form is backed up returned to Listed level. |

1st 3 (16) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has run respectably on soft; hooded on last two starts, with a back-to-form second of six when stepped up to 1m2f for C&D handicap (good) on 2026 reappearance; raised 5lb since and probably not straightforward but that was a promising effort here from out the back (ran on well with too much to do) and he has to be in serious calculations. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Made it three wins from his first four starts when scoring on handicap debut at Hamilton (8.3f, good) last July; his progress stalled in two Listed races subsequently but this lightly raced 4yo has been gelded since and the return to better ground could be a positive, along with the step up in trip; retains potential for a top trainer who won this in 2018 and 2019; respected. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Ran nine times for Ollie Sangster, winning twice as a 2yo; best run for that stable came at Saint-Cloud (1m, heavy) when second in Listed; career-best on debut for this stable when winning Group 3 at the Curragh in April, worth more than the 0.5l winning margin suggests; backed up that run in less testing conditions when beaten 3l into seventh in Group 2 18 days ago; big shout back on favoured ground; down in trip. |
4/1 |

7th 3 (12) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won twice for Ollie Sangster at two, including a 7f Listed race at Sandown; began and ended last season with good runs in defeat (in the Nell Gwyn and a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud); sprang a surprise when beating stablemate Princess Child in a C&D Group 3 event on Irish debut; further progress is feasible. |

1st 6 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Two-time winner for Ollie Sangster in Britain, including Listed Star Stakes at Sandown in July 2024; last seen 145 days ago finishing 2.5l second to Moon Cloud in Listed mile contest at Saint-Cloud; trainer does very well with recruits, particularly fillies; acts on soft; interesting contender. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |

Lightly raced; good fifth in the 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes prior to close third in Ascot Group 3 won by Cheshire Dancer; below par in final 3yo start but consistent otherwise and may rebound. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Debut win was on heavy; managed to hold her own in the 1,000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes (both on good to firm) before a front-running third in a Group 3 at Ascot in July (1m, good; beaten half a length); major player dropped into a Listed race and could well approve of getting back on slower ground. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Comfortably justified favouritism in novice event at Salisbury (7f, heavy) on only 2yo start; pitched into the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on reappearance and acquitted herself very well to be beaten only 2.5l into fifth; another good effort at Group 1 level when filling the same position in the Coronation Stakes over C&D (good to firm) last month; has the potential for even better after only three starts and major player with her sights lowered slightly. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Came up well short in Group 1/Listed events in the second half of 2025 but different story on Kempton AW reappearance, readily seeing off ten rivals in 1m Listed race; winner on good to soft; capable of making her presence felt, with further progress a distinct possibility after only six starts. |
9/2 |

1st 9 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a fillies' maiden on her reappearance last April (8.6f, Tapeta); better form when defying a penalty at Leicester one month later; came up well short in Group 1/Listed company in the second half of 2025; could resume her progress this year but she will find easier Listed races than this one. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Won novices at about 1m at Wolverhampton and Leicester (good to soft) before finishing well beaten when pitched into Group 1 level for the Prix Rothschild at Deauville (1m, good); it's unlike her trainer to go tilting at windmills so probably has a better chance than her inferior figures may imply. |
