10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form over 1m2f at the other Newmarket track on his first two starts this season, winning a handicap (on good) and third of five in a Listed race (good to firm); the Derby Italiano on heavy ground last time did not work out but he returns to a handicap on what looks a pretty good mark. |

3rd 2 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle colt who got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) on his stable debut in a Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in December and followed up over this C&D (good) 16 days ago on his first handicap start; could continue to progress but does need another step forward today. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Some improvement in maidens in the mud for Aidan O'Brien in the autumn; 30,000gns purchase and first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) when getting off the mark at first time of asking for new yard in seven-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, making all; needs a chunk of improvement on this handicap debut but the trip should not be a problem. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Inclined to pull hard and cracked late on over 1m4f at Royal Ascot, having bumped into a few progressive winners previously; sets the standard back into maiden company but can hang right and has had eight cracks at it now. |
9/4 |

7th 14 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Maiden after seven races, runner-up in all four since joining George Boughey; three of those were handicaps (8.6f/1m2f) so he should be far more exposed than most of today's rivals, but he has been improving (wore cheekpieces last time) and 1m4f now looks worth a go. |
20/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Now 0-6 but he's posted progressive RPRs when runner-up on all three starts since joining George Boughey; the form of his latest 1m2f Newmarket second has been boosted by subsequent wins for the third and fourth (the winner also a creditable third in a Listed race); if he can pull out only a little more for the addition of cheekpieces he could take a bit of stopping. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fifth attempt when short-head winner at 8-13 in a maiden at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in early May; may well stay and had pretty useful form twice before that latest start but nothing to suggest a prominent finish in this company; his owners (who also run Magnetude) had a big-priced outsider in the last two runnings of this race and they finished seventh and sixth. |
66/1 |

1st 3 (8) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
The most exposed runner in the line-up, having run four times, but ran game race from the front when close third in Class 3 Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) on last month's seasonal debut, and sets a useful standard back in a maiden; moves up in trip; headgear removed. |

3rd 7 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Showed ability on good ground at Newmarket (1m) and Goodwood (1m1f) before his neck second of ten in a novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW; made most) in November; will stay 1m2f+; cheekpieces go on and he has what looks a competitive mark for handicap/seasonal debut. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Improved form in 1m2f handicaps at the other Newmarket course on his first two starts this term, bossing a five-runner race (good to firm) impressively on second occasion; doing the same off this 8lb higher mark in 16-runner race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; 12-1) wasn't possible but he led entering straight until over 1f out and wasn't at all discredited in seventh (Princling fifth); could get run of the race this time and is one to consider. |
7/1 |

7th 3 (16) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Mixed bag as 2yo but improved form in two 1m2f Newmarket handicaps this term; had it all his own way up front in five-runner race last time (good to firm) but stretched clear impressively from over 1f out; 8lb higher in a much more competitive affair today, but runner-up Sahara King went close in the always-strong London Gold Cup next time; considered. |

1st 3 (3) |

9st 6lb |
Pretty useful in two of his five efforts as 2yo; second favourite for handicap/seasonal debut over C&D (good) 18 days ago but weakened in the final 1f into fourth of eight; that was creditable but he needs to build on it. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointed as favourite in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket last month but his earlier Doncaster win (1m2f, good to soft) was encouraging; promise on AW in February; should stay 1m4f and he is not fully exposed just yet; Karl Burke is also responsible for Galilean Quality. |

Markedly better this season when second at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and winning from the front in a maiden at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); has a competitive mark for this handicap debut and he'll be staying on. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

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. |

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. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

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. |

9st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November but recent third of five here (11.4f, good to firm) was perfectly respectable and he may benefit from this drop back in trip. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m1f, AW) last November but has had a very mixed record at this level since, albeit this lesser test than at Newbury recently should be in his favour as he is down in grade and back on his winning mark. |
13/2 |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last November; flopped on his first two runs this year but back on song with 5l third of 11 at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when shaping as though this step up in trip could be a good move; respected. |

Substantial improvement to win novice at Nottingham in October, followed by creditable sixth of seven in French Listed race (both 1m on heavy); however, eased right down from 4f out on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good; 22-1) three weeks ago, after which it's hard to approach him with confidence. |

Three months off before showing substantial improvement to win 12-runner novice at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in October; creditable sixth of seven in French Listed race on final outing; better is needed on this handicap/seasonal debut but it looks like he'll surely stay. |
