9st 7lb |
Sea The Stars colt; sibling to 1m AW winners Antarah (2yo; RPR 93) and Alhattan (87); dam 9.4f (Listed)/1m2f scorer (100), out of 7f Group 3 winning half-sister to two Group 1 winners; interesting newcomer. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
It was a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) which saw his progress arrested as a 2yo; his improved form to win a six-runner handicap here (1m2f, AW) on reappearance came by a neck off a mark of just 80 and although the runner-up has won twice since, this race clearly demands big improvement. |

1st 2 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Improved with each of his first three runs as a 2yo, winning a 1m maiden at Brighton in October; faced a stiff task upped to Group 1 company in France 19 days later (1m2f, very soft) and came up well short; the fact he was even considered for that race suggests an opening mark of 80 should be within range. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (4) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Similar level of form in finishing fourth in both starts last month, taking a keen hold at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) on the second occasion and not seeing his race out as a result; dropping back to 1m looks a good move and high on the list. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) on last two starts as 2yo, in the latter making all and stretching 8l clear; needs a good deal better in this company but he's clearly promising. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Seemed to be tapped for toe in the latter stages over 7f on debut; suited by the step up in trip at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and the form of that success has been franked; respected under 7lb penalty. |

Heavy defeats at Kempton (1m, AW) and Goodwood (1m2f, soft; blinkered and made most) in September when trained by David Loughnane. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |

Suffered a heavy defeat (well behind A Taste Of Glory) on Kempton AW but shaped as if this combination of a longer trip and fitting of headgear may prove beneficial. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Third of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last October on second start and similar form when seventh of nine in another novice at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on reappearance five weeks ago; the latter display failed to live up to his market billing (9-2) but he's a strong candidate for improvement over this longer trip on handicap debut. |

7th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
125,000gns yearling by Camelot; beaten around 6l in his two runs in the autumn, most recently when third of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good) in October; doesn't set a high standard on that form but this step back up in trip looks a good move and he should have more to offer this season. |
15/2 |

3rd 3 (6) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
125,000gns yearling by Camelot; late foal; 18-1 for debut in 1m2f maiden here (soft) 18 days ago, failing to threaten seriously before fading into seventh of eight; should improve but needs to leave that run well behind. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All seven races on good or softer; 1m2f suited him well on final two runs as 2yo, culminating in a Nottingham handicap win; not discredited when up against it on his two starts this term and this is much more realistic, but he still needs better. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All six races on good or softer; 1m2f suited him well on final two runs as 2yo, culminating in a Nottingham handicap win; not discredited when out of his depth in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good) on reappearance but he needs to resume marked improvement from 2lb out of the handicap. |
25/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
All five races on good or slower; middling form on first three starts but was all the better for the step up to 1m2f on final two runs and his stamina was much in evidence when forging clear in a Nottingham handicap (good to soft), despite running green; needs to have come on a ton over the winter to play a part and the track and good to firm ground are other queries. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Only fourth of five at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) most recently but again ran well on the figures and is getting the hang of things; held by Study Of Words on Goodwood running, however. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Compromised by a very tardy start at Lingfield (1m, AW) where he ended up a modest fifth of seven, performing below market expectations; may show improvement with a cleaner break. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Marked improvement through three-race 2yo career, beating a fair maiden by 15l when he won a four-runner maiden at 1-7 over C&D (good) final start; that can't be the most solid form but he could hardly have done it more easily and is a Derby entry; fascinating handicap debutant in first-time headgear. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Frankel colt who seemed to need debut experience; fared much better with close second, in front of two subsequent scorers, at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) later in September; the form pick. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Trailed home last of five in Ascot maiden (1m, soft) but may improve with the experience under his belt; certainly the type to do better, being a Frankel colt who represents a powerful stable. |
