16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has rather compromised his chance by taking a good hold in 7f events this term, latest at Newbury (Group 3) when still running creditably in a hood that is now removed; skipped the Guineas option and heads down the Commonwealth Cup route instead; 2-2 previously, both wins over 6f in May 2025, including Curragh Group 3; retains potential. |

3rd 1 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Rare runner in the Greenham for his powerful connections, who are still working out whether the highly regarded colt is a Guineas prospect or needs a return to 6f over which he was 2-2 as a 2yo (both on good ground); only sixth when favourite for Curragh Listed race (7f, soft to heavy; took a good hold) on return from ten-month absence but retains potential and could well take a big step forward, as well as settle better, in first-time hood with the outing under his belt; adds great interest to this field. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Best 2yo form when dropped to 5f on final two starts, signing off with a close third of 12 in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (firm); he needed to progress as 3yo to have a chance today but that hasn't happened, so the first-time visor has a big job to do. |

3rd 1 (2) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won Yarmouth nursery (6f, soft) in September but better form when third in Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (good) and Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (again 5f, firm) the following month; looked to have trained on when beaten around 2l in all-aged Group 3 at Newmarket four weeks ago; holds Group 1 entries over 5f and 6f at Royal Ascot and now drops back into his own age group; sets the standard. |

9st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in Group 1 company as a juvenile, including in the Middle Park at Newmarket with Coppull narrowly behind in third; however, he made an underwhelming start to his 3yo career when only sixth to Coppull (Division third) in 6f Ascot Group 3 on reappearance 22 days ago; possible he simply needed the run but arrives with a point to prove. |

6th 3 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won a 6f maiden at the Curragh on debut before a string of good efforts in defeat in good races, notably second-place finishes in the Middle Park (0.75l behind Wise Approach and 5lb better off) and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; should be in the shake-up. |

Beaten on debut at Cork before going the rest of the season unbeaten; landed a Navan maiden (6f, soft), a four-runner conditions event here (5f, good) and ultimately the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); workmanlike when justifying short odds at Navan on seasonal return (6f, good to yielding) and there is likely improvement to come; holds Group 1 entries for Ascot. |

Brother to Bluebeard (Prix Morny and Middle Park); only fourth of seven when 4-6 for his Curragh debut (5f, good) last April; made handsome amends with wins in a C&D maiden (soft), a four-runner Naas conditions event (5f good) and the Norfolk Stakes, at the main expense of Middle Park winner Wise Approach; top-class sprinting prospect, reportedly in good shape. |

Third in the Coventry Stakes over C&D before winning the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); rounded off his juvenile campaign with a close third in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes (6f, good to firm), finishing on the heels of the reopposing Wise Approach and Brussels; stable won this race with Jasour, also a Group 2 winner as a 2yo, in 2024; one to take seriously. |

Raced at 6f; won three times last year, notably a York Listed race (good; also won on good to soft); improved again when coming with a strong late run (started slowly) for 0.5l third to Coppull in Ascot Group 3 (good to firm) on reappearance three weeks ago; probably capable of better again. |

Windsor Castle winner who has proved a solid operator and ran creditably in the Flying Childers (5f, good; Group 2) at Doncaster most recently, taking record to 121234; very likely to give his running but has seemingly reached his ceiling (form has levelled off). |

Cost 820,000euros at the breeze-ups in May and was sent off favourite when winning a valuable newcomers' sales race at Deauville (7f, soft) last month; the runner-up has since won a maiden at Ascot; trainer believes there will be improvement to come and he could have a part to play. |

Raced at 6f; smart 2yo, notably second in the Gimcrack at York; below par tackling going softer than good for the first when sixth in the Mill Reef at Newbury on final start, which is a bit of a concern should the ground here remain on the soft side; on a positive note, his yard has won this twice since 2019, including with Inisherin in these silks two years ago. |

Likeable front-runner who made up into a useful juvenile, winning Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot and signing off with a good fifth in Newmarket's Cheveley Park Stakes; shaped encouragingly when fifth of 12 in Nell Gwyn Stakes back at Newmarket (7f) on her recent return, leading long way; this drop back to 6f promises to suit, so she's a big player. |

Ran well in Listed/Group 3 company last summer following her maiden win at Hamilton and her two lesser efforts at the end of the campaign can both be excused; this free-going filly shouldn't mind the return to sprinting but she will need to raise her game a notch. |
