5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
An improver this season, with his only blip coming on heavy ground in the Italian Derby; got messed about when fourth of six in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in July and resumed his progress when readily coming clear in Shergar Cup event over C&D four weeks ago; 7lb higher mark to contend with but he looked worth it last time; considered. |

An improver this season, with his only blip coming on heavy ground in the Italian Derby; got messed about when fourth of the six runners in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket a month ago (good to firm); not yet exposed and Ryan Moore rides. |

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. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had plenty of chances now (0-10) but he hasn't always enjoyed the best of luck in showing useful form, as was again the case when third in a competitive 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (first-time blinkers); he's the standout danger to the regally-bred newcomer Partying. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1m4f didn't help when creditable seventh at Royal Ascot; runner-up in all his other five races this season, which could be construed as hard luck but blinkers now replace the recent cheekpieces after his defeat in a Yarmouth maiden last time; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
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. |

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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 3yo who won a Doncaster maiden (1m2f, good to soft) in March but he's been well held in handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) since; mark is sliding but he needs to raise his game back on turf. |

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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

7th 3 (6) |
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. |

6th 3 (3) |
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. |

Exposed but consistent and dug deep to prevail in a close finish over 1m2f here a month ago (they went steady); every chance off 2lb higher; third over this trip the time before. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
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. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |

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. |
