16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Hugely progressive and unbeaten in his four races, all over 1m on good/firmer; impressively bagged Classic honours at Newmarket in sole start this term, earning an RPR that makes him the joint-best 2,000 Guineas winner since Frankel; the next two home - Gstaad and Distant Storm - franked the form by filling the first two places in the Irish version; sets a tall standard, accordingly, and his trajectory brings the tantalising prospect of even bigger figures; massively exciting colt. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Son of 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder and from the family of Dubawi; three from three last term, all starts over 1m, driven out for 1l success in the Royal Lodge at Newmarket (good to firm; Group 2) the final time; that wasn't necessarily a star performance but he keeps getting the job done and commands major respect, being a progressive colt who has a perfect record and has had a "faultless spring" according to his trainer; furthermore, he's already proven over C&D. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Both runs over 1m on good ground; impressive when making light work of a subsequent winner at Newbury and was nicely on top at the finish when having to dig deeper to secure a Listed race at Haydock (runner-up well regarded in a top yard); reportedly thrilled his connections in a recent gallop. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Closely related to Derby/Irish Derby winner Lambourn; Galway maiden winner; graduated to Pattern company with two solid displays, third to the excellent Bow Echo in the Royal Lodge, in front of Benvenuto Cellini when second in the Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); tame effort when fourth behind Raaheeb on reappearance at Sandown; better when a front-running second in the Dante; dropped away tamely after making the running in the Derby; cheekpieces are left off now. |

12th 1 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Closely related to 2025 Derby winner Lambourn; carries his head high but ended last season with a close, battling second in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) and front-running second in the Dante at York (10.2f, good) last month was of a similar order, albeit no match for Item in the final 1f; a disappointing, sluggish display on reappearance was his only start with tongue tied; likely to stay 1m4f, with a possible place role but it's unlikely to be more unless the new cheekpieces have a major positive effect. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Closely related to 2025 Derby winner Lambourn; carries head high but progressed with every start last season and ended it with a close, battling second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); consequently 4-6 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but sluggish leaving the stalls and for most of the race before mustering something to finish fourth of seven; perhaps a first-time tongue-tie that day backfired, and he now goes without; the form pick if he bounces back. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
First four starts were on good to firm and he registered an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f) in May, helping to make the running and with 1m4f looking a strong option; managing just eighth of 14 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft; 28-1) 13 days ago was therefore disappointing, but the earlier impression cannot yet be discarded. |
10/1 |

8th 3 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Frankel colt bought for 1,100,000gns as a yearling; all four races on good to firm; Beverley and Goodwood novice wins last summer before the Group 2 Royal Lodge saw a comprehensive end to his unbeaten record; he returned to Newmarket, however, with an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race (1m2f) five weeks ago, helping to make the running; 1m4f beckons strongly after that and he's included in each-way calculations. |
16/1 |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won fast-ground novice races at Beverley (7.4f) and Goodwood (1m) last summer on his first two starts; he's better than he showed when 14l seventh of eight in the Group 2 Royal Lodge here in September (1m, good to firm; 16-1) and has Dante/Derby entries but others have more pressing claims. |

18th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 30y |
9st 5lb |
Wootton Bassett colt made fine impression in winning first two starts, notably Naas Listed (1m); bit underwhelming in Group company since however, losing second late on at Deauville and in Royal Lodge (Newmarket) never really landed a blow on faster ground when nearly 6l off winner; this looks weaker and return to easier ground will suit. |
9/4 |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Looked good on his debut and confirmed that promise with an easy win at Listed level (Naas; 1m, good); relinquished his unbeaten record when odds-on for a Group 3 at Deauville but the drop back to 7f probably didn't help, nor being isolated from the two who beat him; big colt who retains significant potential for 1m+. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

500,000gns yearling; third foal; Wootton Bassett half-brother to 7.5f 2yo winner Blindsided; dam Listed winner, out of half-sister to Group 1 winner Sendawar; made good impression when claimer-ridden on last month's debut to win Gowran maiden over 7f (soft), green but strong at the finish; should be more to come at 1m. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The Chesham winner (good to firm) who didn't look at home on the undulations of Goodwood when beaten for the first time in a strong edition of the Group 2 Vintage Stakes; got himself firmly back on track when perhaps unfortunate not to have won Sandown's Group 3 Solario Stakes having been bumped quite severely late on; leads the way on Topspeed/RPR figures and promises to be even better at 1m. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced colt whose winning form, including in the Chesham (7f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot, has substance; only seventh of ten when 5-1 in a Goodwood Group 2 since but may still do better. |
4/1 |
|
7 (10) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Recruited by these powerhouse owners after beating a bucketload of subsequent winners at Newbury (6f, good) and maintained his unbeaten record in the Chesham at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm), in which he dug deep late on after making most of the running; it didn't look the strongest renewal of that Listed race and the second has since been turned over at long odds-on; he still commands respect as a good looker with more to offer; two recent winners of this had won the Chesham. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Quite a progressive sort on AW and has gained both wins over 7f at Kempton, including in Class 4 handicap latest start; soundly beaten in both turf attempts, always behind in the 2,000 Guineas on second occasion; plenty to find and plenty to prove back in this sphere. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has been competitive or more when away from Group company and a strongly run race back at 7f should suit; others still appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned mainly on AW, most recently 5l fourth (ran well but never dangerous) to King's Trail at Kempton on seasonal debut; bottom of this pack on the figures and trailed home last in the Royal Lodge on sole turf attempt; this outsider has plenty to prove and plenty to find. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
A useful 7f/1m winner last season; made the early running in the Dewhurst, runner-up in a 1m Listed event at Meydan in February; beaten favourite in a four-runner contest at Goodwood on return to Britain; supporting role now. |
33/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A useful 7f/1m winner at 2yrs and he has acquitted himself well in Qatar and Meydan over the winter, runner-up in 1m Listed event in February; he holds solid form claims. |

7th 7 (1) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Form of debut success (on the July course here) has worked out nicely; far from disgraced with fourth-place finishes in the Solario at Sandown and Royal Lodge at Newmarket (1m) since; drop back to 7f may suit but he needs improvement to land this prize. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has failed to convince over 1m2f since returning to home soil; gelded prior to latest start; 1m winner during his campaign at Meydan and the return to this distance looks the angle with him. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Better in Meydan campaign in December-March, including a 1m win and he shaped as if he stayed 1m1f on final start there; needs to rebound from a poor show at Newmarket (1m2f) in April and he was gelded the next day. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Fair form on varied turf as 2yo; rather better in his seven-race campaign at Meydan in December-March, including a 1m win and he shaped as if he stayed 1m1f on latest start; needs to find extra but, unlike most of these, there are no doubts over his fitness. |
