3rd 1 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Made it 6-7 on AW (including a victory on Tapeta) when winning the Group 3 Winter Derby at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; not at her best in Group 2 at Chester since but that was a hotter race than this and she can give a good account back in a Group 3 and back on the AW; 3lb penalty. |

8th 8 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Smart on the AW (1111121), her latest success coming in the Group 3 Winter Derby at Lingfield (1m2f) in February; her winning racecourse debut came on turf (7f, soft), but this looks a tough task on her return to grass. |

1st 5 (5) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Tasted defeat on AW for the first time when second of ten, beaten a head, in a good fillies' handicap over C&D five weeks ago; beaten by a good filly, rather than the trip, on that occasion and she is still improving; shouldn't be underestimated. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has taken his form to a new level, notably with a 1m Listed success, since switched to artificial surfaces; ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on finals day at Newcastle most recently; the query is whether his very useful AW form can be transferred back to turf. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has improved for gelding/wind operations, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton and a 1m Listed event at Southwell this winter; narrowly denied in the Winter Derby six weeks ago (not a vintage renewal); the demands of this race should be more suitable and he still has Pattern-race aspirations; he'll need to be a Group horse to give the weight away all round but he is an each-way contender at the very least; cheekpieces now added. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
1m4f AW Listed winner for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW last winter but reverted to lesser efforts on his four outings this spring. |
66/1 |

7th 3 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
1m4f AW Listed winner (also acts on good to soft and softer) for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW this winter but he's been below par on his last three starts; soft ground would enhance his cause but others are more solid. |
33/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Ran creditably, one place behind Persica, in Epsom Group 3 last time but is now worse off with that rival; has to overcome a 3lb penalty for narrow Listed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/firmer ground; rallied gamely for Listed honours at Goodwood (1m2f) most recently and, assuming another gritty display is on the way, should remain competitive; top on his peak figure, achieved when defying top weight in last year's Cambridgeshire (1m1f). |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Defied top weight in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) and holds a leading chance provided that smart handicap form is reproduced; hasn't transferred it back to Group level this term but he's respected on ratings and is a similar type to last year's winner of this race (for same connections). |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of 1m2f wins on AW, the latest a Listed race where he enjoyed the run of things but showed a fine attitude to repel a solid yardstick; unlikely to enjoy such a soft time through the early part of this race but he is an improving 4yo and Ryan Moore is booked. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 (11) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Second of four in 1m2f course Listed race (good) in May; below that level with cheekpieces added at Sandown (Listed) and Glorious Goodwood (handicap) during the summer but still lightly raced and it'll be interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are on this first outing for three months (gelded). |
