14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Closely related to 2025 Derby winner Lambourn; carries head high but progressed with every start last season and ended it with a close, battling second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); consequently 4-6 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but sluggish leaving the stalls and for most of the race before mustering something to finish fourth of seven; perhaps a first-time tongue-tie that day backfired, and he now goes without; the form pick if he bounces back. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Closely related to last year's Derby winner Lambourn and has his own Epsom aspirations, having ended a progressive 2yo campaign with close second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); now goes in tongue-tie; the pick on the figures and may well rate higher still. |

Beaten just over 5l in both 2yo starts, placed at Kempton (1m, AW) latest; seemingly thought capable of much better, being entered in the Dante and the Derby; could go well. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won fast-ground novice races at Beverley (7.4f) and Goodwood (1m) last summer on his first two starts; he's better than he showed when 14l seventh of eight in the Group 2 Royal Lodge here in September (1m, good to firm; 16-1) and has Dante/Derby entries but others have more pressing claims. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
1,100,000gns Frankel colt; has been more workmanlike than flashy in winning his novices at Beverley and Goodwood (1m; both on good to firm) but there's no knocking an unbeaten start and he might be the type who only does enough in his races (reportedly a lazy worker at home); has to improve at this level but that's very feasible. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
It was a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) which saw his progress arrested as a 2yo; his improved form to win a six-runner handicap here (1m2f, AW) on reappearance came by a neck off a mark of just 80 and although the runner-up has won twice since, this race clearly demands big improvement. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Improved with each of his first three runs as a 2yo, winning a 1m maiden at Brighton in October; faced a stiff task upped to Group 1 company in France 19 days later (1m2f, very soft) and came up well short; the fact he was even considered for that race suggests an opening mark of 80 should be within range. |

Winning siblings include Claymore, a Group 3 winner at 1m2f for this yard; third to Maltese Cross in a 1m Newmarket maiden on sole 2yo start; evens when making all in a Kempton novice (1m, AW) on return and his rallying third of six in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good) suggested that this longer trip would suit; some others have better form but he can improve. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 1 |

Winning siblings include Claymore, a Group 3 winner at 1m2f for this yard; lots to like about his persevering third of seven in a good 1m Newmarket maiden (22-1; ridden by 7lb claimer) on debut but he didn't need any more than that form when making all on Kempton AW (1m) this month; Derby entry who should make a better 3yo but how much better will be clearer after today. |

Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) on last two starts as 2yo, in the latter making all and stretching 8l clear; needs a good deal better in this company but he's clearly promising. |

Seemed to be tapped for toe in the latter stages over 7f on debut; suited by the step up in trip at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and the form of that success has been franked; respected under 7lb penalty. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in a maiden last July and most impressive in four-runner Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) in September; made favourite for the Derby on the back of that, and still has that position despite his third of five behind two stablemates when warm favourite for Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m) in October, which was on heavy ground; sister Giselle won last year's Lingfield Oaks Trial (Oaks fifth); their trainer is the first one to turn to for winners of these Chester Derby and Oaks trials; hard to beat. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Made all in a maiden at Killarney (1m, yielding to soft) in July on his second run and easily followed up under Christophe Soumillon in the four-runner Group 2 Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) last month; favourite for the Derby on the back of that and, while he's been weak in the ante-post betting for this race, he certainly has star potential. |

9st 2lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden on third 2yo start and led on the post in Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding) in October; 11-1 with three of his stablemates among those at shorter odds when he reappeared in nine-runner Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) last month but it was him who asserted in the final 1f to win by half a length; will stay further but looks firmly in the mix. |

Short head winner from A Boy Named Susie in the Eyrefield Stakes over 1m1f here last October; extra furlong should suit but would probably need more than a 2lb concession to account for Pierre Bonnard. |

Well on top last September in a maiden at Kempton (7f, AW) and four-runner novice at Bath (1m, good to firm); non-runner in Group 1 Futurity in October due to heavy going; this Frankel colt has a lot to find on ratings but he's a fascinating prospect who looks sure to be suited by 1m2f+. |

Promising Navan debut when strong-finishing 1/2l second over 1m, despite rider losing an iron close home; impressed in beating two stablemates in testing conditions in a 1m Curragh maiden at the beginning of November; got outpaced in the Ballysax on reappearance, kept on late in fifth, around 3l behind Endorsement. |

Went close on debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and beat notable rivals in a Newmarket maiden (1m, good) later in September; favourite for a valuable novice event at Newbury (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and battled his way to another narrow win, in a blanket finish but there's a good chance he will come on from that run and be suited by this longer trip (very much supported by pedigree); firmly in the mix. |

Dante and Derby entry; went close on debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and one better in a Newmarket maiden (1m, good) later in September; battled back admirably in the latter, which is strong form; looks a good prospect for 1m2f and probably even more so for 1m4f. |
