9st 3lb |
Beat a couple of today's rivals in the Group 3 Acomb at York (7f, good to firm; followed up debut win) but isn't guaranteed to confirm the placings, having failed to back up the form when favourite in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster where he was two places behind Oxagon. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Both runs over 7f on good to firm; looked very nice when overcoming signs of inexperience at Newbury and confirmed that promise in winning the Group 3 Acomb at York, a race that the yard's future 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean also won en route to taking this and the Dewhurst; likeably straightforward and it was never in much doubt last time after he raced close to the pace throughout; hard to knock. |

80,000euros breeze-up 2yo in May (private sale); 9-1 from 11-1 for 11-runner novice at Newbury (7f, good to firm) nearly five weeks ago and always prominent, firmly in charge through the final 1f despite looking green; has Group 2 and Group 1 entry; others bring stronger form but that was a promising start. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Rock-solid performer whose success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas is flanked by good efforts behind Bow Echo at Newmarket (beaten almost 3l, pair well clear) and Royal Ascot (nearly collared him); admittedly the bare result last time may not be fully reliable, given the way the race panned out and the stiff 1m; however, this smart colt is certainly reliable, having never finished out of the first two, and is again an important player in another rematch with his nemesis. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very solid performer who continues to improve steadily and has never finished out of the first two; readily landed the Coventry at this meeting 12 months ago and has performed well at Group/Grade 1 level since, most recently registering a 3l success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, taking record over 1m to 2-3; clear best of the remainder behind Bow Echo at Newmarket earlier in May and should give the rematch his best shot. |

Beat stablemate True Love on debut before landing the Coventry Stakes; second in three consecutive Group 1 races, including the National Stakes and the Dewhurst; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has evidently trained on and can go one better than in the 2,000 Guineas by upholding form with Distant Storm. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
E1,900,000 breeze-up purchase last spring; very smart juvenile form, aside from when pulling too hard in the Acomb; impressed in winning a 1m Group 3 event at Newmarket in September before a fine third placing (1 1/2l behind Gstaad) in the Dewhurst; now has an 8l deficit to overturn in another clash with Gstaad following his distant 2,000 Guineas third; first-time cheekpieces. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Aptly bred, being by Night Of Thunder and out of a mare by another 2,000 Guineas winner, namely George Washington; 1,900,000euros breeze-up purchase last spring and duly made a big splash in his 2yo races, aside from when pulling too hard in the Acomb; showed smart from at Newmarket (7f, good/good to firm) in the autumn, impressing in the Tattersalls Stakes (Group 3) then running well (one place behind Gstaad) in the Dewhurst; yard has landed this prize three times in the last four years; big player. |

1,900,000euros breeze-up purchase; pulled too hard in the Acomb but that defeat is flanked by Newmarket wins; debut form has worked out well and he was impressive in the Goup 3 Tattersalls Stakes over C&D (good) last time having settled better than at York; looks a Group 1 performer in the making and commands respect. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Gamely won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and National Stakes at the Curragh (beat Gstaad) during his productive 2yo campaign; missed the 2,000 Guineas due to a setback but has shown he retains plenty of ability with fifth-place finishes in two Group 1 races this summer, the Sussex Stakes over C&D on first occasion (sole 1m attempt); highly respected back down in class. |
2/1 |
|
5th 14 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
One of the best 2yos around last season, with his head defeat of Gstaad in the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh (7f, yielding; unraced on softer) his most striking piece of form; a setback ruled out him out of the 2,000 Guineas after shaping encouragingly in a trial, and he got messed about at a crucial stage when fifth in the Sussex (one place behind Ten Bob Tony); this shorter trip might be a better fit for him and, as he still retains some upside, he looks a key player. |
11/2 |

5th 12 (11) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Game colt whose record of 4-5 as a 2yo featured wins in the Vintage Stakes at this meeting and National Stakes at the Curragh; latter is one of two pieces of form that tie him in with Gstaad; respectable second in the Greenham at Newbury (kept to 7f) on reappearance but missed the 2,000 Guineas due to a setback; ready for a crack at 1m and, having raced only once this season, there's still some unfinished business about him; adds interest. |

9st 10lb |
Won the Group 3 Craven on the Rowley Mile here in April (1m, good) in first-time cheekpieces; soundly beaten in Group 1s on next two starts and same outcome in Group 3 Hampton Court at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); blinkers replace the cheekpieces and the drop back in trip could help; in with a chance on his best form, even under a 5lb penalty, but has to get back on track. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Group 3 Craven at Newmarket (1m, good) in April in first-time cheekpieces (retained) then kept on for respectable sixth in the 2,000 Guineas there (1m, good to firm); faded when 12th of 16 in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) but this trip may well be within range if he settles better; not ruled out back down in grade under 4lb penalty. |
7/1 |

6th 11 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very useful colt but possibly needs to dominate, having gained both wins from the front, latest when taking well to first-time cheekpieces and comfortably beating Avicenna by 2l in the Craven Stakes over C&D (good; Group 3) on seasonal debut; by no means certain to have his own way in this bigger field and he's held by a couple of today's opponents on Dewhurst running; otherwise may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

Won Leicester novice event by 5l on debut and landed a valuable sales event over an extended 6f at this venue last September; finished 4l behind runner-up Gstaad when a 50-1 shot in the Dewhurst; reversed the form of that race with fourth-placed Zavateri when landing the Greenham at Newbury (7f, good) on reappearance; missed the 2,000 Guineas. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Comfortably justified favouritism in Curragh sales race (6.3f, yielding) to follow up his debut win; rank outsider in the Dewhurst (7f, good to firm) but ran well on bare figures to finish sixth of nine, just under 2l behind Zavateri; difficult to rule out further improvement this year. |

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. |

9st 2lb |
0-5 since winning on debut at Leopardstown (7f, good) last May and he could do with settling better, while Ryan Moore rides stablemate Endorsement; however, he's run some big races in defeat and could build on April's reappearance fourth in the Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding; Endorsement second); might have a part to play. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

Split the ill-fated Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York; then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; repeated a hard-pulling tendency in the Dewhurst; needs to settle better to do full justice to his ability; hooded now for seasonal debut. |

8th 5 (4) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Ties in with several of today's rivals on his consistent Group form since debut win; split Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York on penultimate start, then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; took a good hold both times, so there's potential for an even bigger effort if he settles better. |

Presents a dilemma as he looked a plausible Dewhurst prospect with his Group 2 Superlative win on the July course here (beat Italy) but subsequently flopped badly, finishing last of six, in the Group 1 National Stakes; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Dubawi colt, grandson of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Gossamer; landed odds on debut in Sandown maiden over this trip in June and followed up in Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket, avoiding interference on near side then hanging left once hitting the front (beating Italy 1.25l); still a work in progress with likely more to offer and following the same path as yard's 2021 winner Native Trail. |
100/30 |
|
5 (2) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dubawi colt who justified favouritism, with something to spare, in Sandown maiden (7f, good) that his stable won in 2021 with Native Trail who followed up in this contest; open to any amount of progress. |
