1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
7l Listed win over C&D (good to firm) last September; there are also plenty of lesser shows to be considered and, after he was not discredited in Qatar in February, he managed only fourth of six when favourite for Group 3 at Newbury 13 days ago; in the mix on peak efforts. |

Not discredited in Qatar in February on latest outing and in the mix judged on peak efforts, including a Newmarket Listed win (1m4f) last September; however, there are also plenty of lesser shows to be considered. |

Listed winner at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in November 2023 but didn't kick on from that in light campaign last year and soundly beaten at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April on his sole run this season; has to get back to his peak. |

2nd 5 (6) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Thrived in first half of last year and won the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last June; absent with injury subsequently but he'll be very tough to beat if returning close to his best. |

1st 7 (5) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Four wins in Bahrain from December to March (1m2f-1m4f, good/good to firm) and transferred that improvement back to Britain with a Listed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last month; this is a tougher test of his credentials but he could have more left in the tank, especially now back up to 1m4f. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-4 when winning a 1m4f handicap at Meydan in December; posted a good third in Group 3 there in January but last of six in Group 1 there (1m4f) in March; yard has an excellent record in this so he's a likely player after a break. |

3rd 4 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won easily on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 and again impressive when belatedly making it 2-2 in warm Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in December 2024; another absence subsequently and he's up in grade on his comeback, but this 4yo has bundles of potential for his powerful stable. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Had 1m4f wins last season in a Group 3 at Newbury (good to firm) in May and Group 2 in Italy (good; made all for career-best form) in October; tailed off in Hong Kong on final start but has a shout if back to his best. |

4th 1 (1) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in 2,000 Guineas here in 2022 prior to long absence; back to his best when winning the Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) in May; unraced since and carries a 5lb penalty today but he goes well fresh and could play another leading role. |
15/2 |

1st 4 (5) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Good fourth in 2,000 Guineas in 2022, then absent for nearly two years; close second in Listed contest at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last September and has run some respectable races in defeat since; it's possible he has some untapped potential at this trip but others have more substance to their claims. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Impressive in small-field handicap at Ascot (1m4f, good) in July; soundly beaten when fifth of six in Group 3 at Newbury (13.2f, good to firm) since but this lightly raced 3yo is not written off in view of the Ascot promise. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Co-favourite for the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) but came eighth, with Furthur 4l ahead in second; evens with these cheekpieces enlisted for a five-runner handicap back at Ascot (1m4f, good) three weeks ago and this time he lived up to market expectations, leading over 1f out to win by just over 5l despite racing a bit freely early on; that much improved form makes him look a strong contender for this 1m5f Group 3. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in a strong Chester Vase (1m4f) on reappearance; performed below market expectations in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f) since but again ran well on bare figures and although raised 5lb he dips into calmer waters in this handicap; raced only four times and still has potential; respected, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, before 12l tenth at Royal Ascot (1m4f; restless in the stalls) continued that trend; falling in the weights but needs a revival. |
40/1 |

10th 1 (11) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won 1m2f handicap at this meeting in 2023 and has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, but edged down the weights as a result and this drop back in trip can help. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Not in top form since returned to the Flat but solid hurdles record (1121322) suggests a resurgence is likely; ran creditably, albeit fortunate to finish second the way things panned out, in the Champion Hurdle when last seen in this sphere; has the best chance at the weights. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He was very smart on the Flat when in his prime but left Karl Burke under a cloud and has yet to get anything going for current yard, on the Flat and in two runs over hurdles; looks on a slippery slope. |
7/1 |

4th 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment. |
15/8 |
|
15th 1 (13) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this. |
