23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
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. |

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. |

A useful 7f/1m winner last season; made the early running in the Dewhurst, runner-up in a 1m Listed event at Meydan in February; beaten favourite in a four-runner contest at Goodwood on return to Britain; supporting role now. |

A useful 7f/1m winner at 2yrs and he has acquitted himself well in Qatar and Meydan over the winter, runner-up in 1m Listed event in February; he holds solid form claims. |

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. |

Productive juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win here from True Love in the 6f Phoenix Stakes (good); respectable second to Thesecretadversary (received 3lb), in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance; by no means a bad effort in the 2,000 Guineas on his first attempt at this trip, but probably more of a sprinting type. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win at the Curragh (good); held by Gstaad on Coventry running; respectable second to Thesecretadversary, who received 3lb, in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance but doesn't give the strong impression he'll benefit from going up further in trip; indeed, he seems more of a 6f Commonwealth Cup type. |

Won the first juvenile race of 2025; then third in a 5f Listed race; second to Albert Einstein in the 6f Marble Hill; fifth of 20 in the Coventry; well held in third behind True Love in the Railway Stakes; reversed form with the filly (finished slightly lame) to win the Phoenix Stakes under a positive ride; pedigree suggests he can stay 7f, ground should not be a problem. |

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. |

Chesham Stakes runner-up and Listed winner at Tipperary before a respectable effort in a 1m Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start; won going away from Power Blue (gave 3lb) in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; pulled very hard in the 2,000 Guineas; fifth was a decent outcome in the circumstances; can make his presence felt if settling better. |

Irish colt who has built up a solid record that includes a good effort in Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start (sole 1m attempt); won going away from Power Blue, who conceded 3lb, in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; could go well but several others bring stronger claims in terms of class and/or potential. |

Maiden winner over 7f at Gowran last September and a creditable sixth of 30 in the Goffs Million; had no luck in running in the Tetrarch Stakes over C&D earlier in the month; 97-rated colt faces an unenviable task; tongue-tie fitted. |

Denied a clear run before keeping for third on debut over 7f at the Curragh in August; despite still looking raw, confirmed that positive impression when scoring over the same trip at Gowran ten days later (good-to-yielding); emerged with credit when sixth in the 30-runner Goffs Million on soft at the Curragh; 15lb below Hardy Warrior on official figures. |

Made the frame in three races at this venue last season, all won by Ballydoyle-trained colts; most meaningful form when third of five in a 7f Group 2 won by Constitution River; odds-on for a comfortable maiden win at Gowran on reappearance; massive rise in class for his first attempt at this trip. |

Ran to a very useful level in three starts last season on varying ground from 6f-7f; beaten 1l on debut behind New Zealand at the Curragh; improved to be beaten 5.5l into third in Group 2 by the smart Constitution River; similar level when second to Trojan Warrior dropped in trip 183 days ago, went with enthusiasm and traded short in-running; handles soft and should be tough to beat on return for yard in form. |
