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. |

9st 2lb |
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. |
4/9 |

2nd 6 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Proved rock-solid as a 2yo, readily winning the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f) then posting form figures of 2221 at Group/Grade 1 level, including in the Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f) when doing well considering he was free to post and in the race; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm; won with something to spare); supplemented (effectively re-added) into this at a cost of £30,000 having been removed in late March due to a clerical error; leading contender in his bid to end a 2,000 Guineas drought for Aidan O'Brien, who has landed this Classic a record ten times but not since 2019. |

2nd 4 (6) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who landed the Coventry at Royal Ascot in great style; hasn't quite been able to justify favouritism in the Prix Morny or National Stakes but those good efforts confirm that there's likely a Group 1 prize in him; lost out only narrowly in good tussle with Zavateri in latter at the Curragh (upped to 7f, yielding) latest; major contender. |

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. |

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

Cracking purchase at 35,000gns as a yearling, and developed into a smart colt during a 2025 season that featured wins in three major 2yo races, notably the National Stakes at the Curragh (7f, yielding) where his gameness was confirmed; handled the July course at Newmarket in the summer but proved all at sea on the Rowley Mile in the Dewhurst, losing his unbeaten record (still ran respectably in fourth place); he's the pick on form and launches 3yo campaign in a race that his trainer's father Fulke won twice. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Star performer for Eve Johnson Houghton this term and his unbeaten record features wins in the July Stakes, Vintage Stakes and Group 1 National Stakes; prevailed narrowly from Gstaad at the Curragh (7f, yielding) most recently, displaying the same battling attribute that served him well at Glorious Goodwood; progressive, very game and top on ratings. |

Without Parole colt cost 35,000gns as a yearling and proving a shrewd buy, unbeaten in three starts; Salisbury novice, held off Coventry second Do Or Do Not in Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket, and extended margin over same rival when lasting out 7f trip in Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood, rallying gamely (Dorset a below-par fifth); likely slower ground and stiffer track will place more of an emphasis on stamina but has the right attitude. |

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. |

1st 6 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unsuited by heavy ground in the Futurity on final 2yo start; steadily progressive otherwise, and ran well in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and Dewhurst at Newmarket; however, chance of opening his Group account largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
10/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Easy win at Sandown (7f, good) in July on second start then 1l second in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes here (7f, good), behind subsequent Group 1 winner Puerto Rico; may be capable of better than he showed when fifth in the Group 1 Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and there's every chance 1m will suit, but there's a suspicion others in this line-up have greater scope for improvement; unraced on slow ground. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Wootton Bassett colt won on debut in Leopardstown maiden over this trip and creditable second on both starts since, beaten 1.25l by Saba Desert in Group 2 Superlative Stakes (Newmarket) and clear of remainder when 1.5l off Gewan in Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York, quite keen under restraint; easier ground here and has to improve to play a major role. |

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. |

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 |

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. |
