3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Proved a useful 2yo, winning AW Group 3 then running well in the Middle Park, but has generally found life harder this term and finished down the field in a 7f handicap at Newmarket last Saturday; opposed. |

9th 2 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
2yo Group 3 winner whose 3yo form has been mixed but he was a close Listed fourth at Chester (7f, good) in July and suffered a torrid passage when down the field in a handicap there (7.5f, good to soft) latest; not ruled out. |

9st 9lb |
Landed a Group 3 at Kempton last September as a juvenile before finishing fourth in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket, both over 6f; highly tried without success this term and although his yard is going great guns, his mark looks high at present. |

27th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
C&D maiden winner on debut; smart form when second in last year's Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; nothing comparable this year; some encouragement can be taken from his staying-on effort when seventh of 18 in the Group 1 Flying Five here a fortnight ago. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Seems best on good ground or firmer and had his conditions when a fine fourth in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket and when beating Prince Of India and seven others in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes at Newbury; presumably failed to handle much softer going when well beaten by Almeraq at Haydock six weeks ago; commands respect if the rain stays away. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Fine fourth against older horses in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) and won the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, which was a third Group-race win; 3yos have enjoyed plenty of success in this race and this progressive colt could be in the mix provided he handles conditions (unraced on ground slower than good). |
13/2 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced only at sprint distances; ran well in the face of a stiff task when fourth of 11 in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 28-1) last month; that makes him one of the leading contenders on form but he does need to prove his stamina for today's longer trip. |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 205y |
9st 6lb |
Has run nine times, including in five stakes races; contested the Middle Park as the stable outsider two weeks ago; could be competitive now, given his depth of experience and the drop in class. |
6/1 |
|
3 (9) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
One of three Ballydoyle runners; produced peak effort in Listed grade; bottom of this pack on the figures and record of just 1-8 reflects that he's an exposed sort now. |
66/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Naas maiden winner who hit the crossbar in a Listed race at Tipperary in July and bounced back from a lesser run in a Group 3 when a close fourth at Navan 13 days ago; return to 5f is no issue and ought to go well. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Windsor Castle over C&D at last year's Royal meeting; there have been flickers of promise but essentially it has been a disappointing campaign in 2026; headgear experiment now aborted; down in the weights but others look safer. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Smart 2yo, including a Royal Ascot win (5f, good to firm); 0-5 this year but he has run some solid races, including here; gelded prior to a poor run in the Shergar Cup here four weeks ago (finished lame); tongue tied/blinkered for the first time (has run well in cheekpieces). |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 6f novice races last season (good to firm/good) and added 7f Listed honours on the AW in February, after which he was gelded; never really sighted when behind some of these on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f; 18-1) but that was after nearly three months away; entitled to run better this afternoon but others are probably on kinder marks. |
66/1 |

12th 2 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Absent and gelded since bagging Listed honours at Lingfield in February when upped to 7f and making AW debut; needs to prove he can transfer that improved form to handicap level and back to turf; otherwise unexposed over this distance and hard to dismiss. |
16/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Two 6f wins at Windsor last summer before finishing seventh in the Group 1 Middle Park; unplaced but ran creditably in three sprint runs in Dubai this year; steps up to 7f with each-way claims. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Wootton Bassett colt is taking his racing well, taking his form to a new level when second in Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster last month; 15 days later not quite as effective but solid run all the same upped to 6f when 3.5l fifth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; major player providing he handles the surface. |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Belied 40-1 odds with strong-finishing second in Curragh Group 3 (6f, good to yielding) where he was the sole newcomer in the field; inexperience costly when in rear in the Middle Park; slowly away when respectable fifth in Leopardstown Group 3 on return 12 days ago; bred to get the mile and could be a class apart. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All three of his wins came as 2yo, the most recent in the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September, but he ran his best this year when fourth of eight in first-time cheekpieces in Group 2 at Doncaster (7f, good) last time; won't be troubled by this drop back in trip and he's a leading contender on his AW debut. |
7/4 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced over only shorter trips but a couple of efforts in his below-par 2026 campaign suggest this step up to 7f, combined with first-time headgear, may prompt a resurgence; proved a progressive juvenile last term, signing off with Middle Park win. |
14/1 |
|
22th 15 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off. |
