22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Prior to this year all his best form was at 7f on ground good or slower, and yet he popped up at 50-1 in a fast-ground Queen Anne and proved that was no flash in the pan with his close fourth to Bow Echo in the Sussex Stakes (again 1m on good to firm), in which he was nearest at the finish having been held up out the back; hard to knock. |

4th 7 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Came off the good pace set by Opera Ballo when 50-1 winner of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time, completing a quickfire June double that was initiated over 7f at Epsom; still unexposed as a miler and has frame possibilities provided the latest piece of form is backed up. |

1st 8 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Ran as well as he's ever done when second in this race 12 months ago, and he was a creditable third in Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this year when going close in Group 3 at Epsom on penultimate start; record at Goodwood features two wins at this meeting, including in this race 12 months ago, and a good second to Qirat on worse terms in a handicap; shortlist material back here. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Still useful but has failed to back up the form of his Irish Group 2 success two years ago and finished behind some of today's rivals in last three outings; losing sequence looks set to be extended. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Group 2 in Ireland in July 2024; not added to that success since but he has run well in two of his three starts this time round, latterly finishing third of eight in a Group 3 at Epsom (7f, good to soft); drops in trip for his AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 2 winner at the Curragh (7f, good) in July 2024 and runner-up in two 7f Group races last autumn (very soft/good); not at his best on his two runs this season but each-way claims if back on song today. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Has made the frame several times at Group level since a C&D Listed win 15 months ago; not a betting proposition on account of his 1-17 record in stakes races. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
7f wins include the Group 1 City Of York Stakes last summer; not quite at his best this year, although a sixth in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood last month (80-1) was no disgrace; back down in grade and returns to his optimum distance so should be thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent with second-place finish behind Qirat over 7f at York last time, the C&D of his Group 1 success last August; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in trip/class and possibly isn't crying out for this return to 1m, despite being a distance winner. |
50/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Smart performer; completed a notable hat-trick (on good to firm ground) last summer, culminating in Group 1 honours over C&D; avoids a penalty for that success and holds a leading chance assuming he's back in similar form; best to forgive Epsom Group 3 effort last time (unsuited by the way the race unfolded). |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French performer won three Group 3s for Andre Fabre, all over 1m on rain-softened ground; not disgraced on debut for this stable on debut at Leopardstown (1m, good) but disappointed dropped back to 7f in Epsom Group 3 latest on good to soft ground; obvious chance on ratings here and preferred by McMonagle, but would surely prefer softer ground. |
6/4 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who won three Group 3s in France for Andre Fabre (1m, testing ground) and was a very close fourth in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) last September; below-par fourth on stable debut at Leopardstown (1m, good; Listed) four weeks ago but may have needed the run; of interest if rediscovering his best French form. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record. |
33/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful but is 0-12 since completing a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024, essentially proving quite difficult to place; hasn't strictly improved for a switch to hold-up tactics this term (seemingly being taught to settle better); unlikely to regain the winning thread on these terms. |
40/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed runner-up at Sandown (1m, soft) last September and third in the same grade at Haydock (7f, good) four weeks ago on reappearance; however, he was comfortably beaten in that latest start and is 0-11 since winning novice contests at Doncaster in spring 2024 on second and third starts; up against it. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent but he is a smart performer, as when beating his 21 rivals at Doncaster last November (6f, heavy); raced exclusively at 7f since, with mixed results, but this mark isn't beyond him and a big run could be on the cards back down in distance. |
50/1 |
|
15th 1 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Below his best on his last two runs, most recently over C&D at the Royal meeting; has some good C&D form, however, such as when fourth in both this race last year and the Victoria Cup in May; not ruled out each-way. |
50/1 |
|
23th 5 (22) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Failed to beat a rival in Group race last time; seemed to run well in the Victoria Cup over C&D in his most recent handicap attempt but was always favourably positioned the way the race went and needs to prove he can back up the form; still on career-high mark. |
