20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the last three of his five starts; this season they were 1m2f handicaps (good; unraced on firmer) at Sandown and Newbury, latterly in the London Gold Cup in which he travelled very strongly before squeezing through over 1f out and prevailing virtually on the nod against Sahara King, as the pair drew about 2l clear; these powerful owners have acquired both horses since; up 7lb but improving and capable of better. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Plenty of ability all 2yo starts, on final occasion always front rank to win a maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft); dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and he duly improved at 1m2f when reappearing in a six-runner handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on; up 6lb but should have more improvement in him. |

Promising third last year on first two starts (1m, good/soft) then won Haydock maiden (1m, good to soft) in September; his dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and it seems likely that he'll improve for this step up in trip on handicap/seasonal debut; trainer won this in 2024. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; never dangerous in 1m2f Group 3 this May but useful form when second in small-field events over 1m2f/1m4f on starts either side (last time 7l behind Thursday's Listed second Endorsement); lightly raced but needs to show something new for a prominent finish on this handicap debut. |

Made a winning debut in a 7f maiden at the Curragh last June; no match for Godolphin's Maho Bay in a novice event at Newmarket in April (winner a beaten favourite in the Lingfield Derby Trial on next start); looked in need of further when failing to make an impact in the 1m2f Gallinule Stakes won by stablemate Causeway. |

11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; pitched into Group 2 and Group 3 events for minor roles on the last two of his three outings as 2yo; it wasn't until second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon) and he had to knuckle down seriously, but that even-money success from a stablemate (who was 13th in Thursday's King George V) brings improved form into this much harder task for handicap debut. |

1st 6 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 95y |
9st 5lb |
Colt by American Pharoah holds an Irish Derby entry and was highly tried on final two juvenile starts; 40-1 when third of four to current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini in 1m Group 2 at Leopardstown (second and fourth currently rated 107); 20s when beaten 5l in Group 3 at same venue; ran nowhere near opening mark of 101 when third in Cork maiden on return; better for the run and, possibly, this longer trip. |

Second runner for yard; promise when fourth on debut at the Curragh; not disgraced in 1m Leopardstown Group 2 on second start; ran to similar level when beaten 6l behind smart Ballydoyle colt in 1m1f Leopardstown Group 3; fair chance with sights lowered on return; holds Irish Derby entry. |

8st 11lb |
Reappeared at 1-4 with a ready novice win; 2-1 favourite when good fourth of 14 for the rearranged Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m on good to firm) three weeks ago on handicap debut, making inroads too late but that experience of a hot handicap at right-handed track could stand him in good stead and, in accordance with the dam's side, 1m2f now looks well worth exploring. |

Runner-up last October on both 2yo starts (7f, AW/good), on the second occasion in a novice at Newmarket that has worked out very well; reappeared with a ready win at 1-4 in Wetherby novice (1m, good to firm) and there's every chance that this unexposed colt will be better than today's opening mark. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket; short of room at a crucial stage in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; 16-1) and basically given an easy time from over 1f out, so he's a good deal better than last of ten in that hot contest suggests; however, after 11 races, he is more exposed than most of today's rivals. |
33/1 |

10th 1 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Basically progressive as 2yo, ending with best form over 1m2f/1m1f, and he reappeared with a creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket one month ago; after ten races, though, he may well be more exposed than a lot of today's rivals. |

Mixed bag as 2yo but improved form in two 1m2f Newmarket handicaps this term; had it all his own way up front in five-runner race last time (good to firm) but stretched clear impressively from over 1f out; 8lb higher in a much more competitive affair today, but runner-up Sahara King went close in the always-strong London Gold Cup next time; considered. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Pretty useful in two of his five efforts as 2yo; second favourite for handicap/seasonal debut over C&D (good) 18 days ago but weakened in the final 1f into fourth of eight; that was creditable but he needs to build on it. |

Close second in a Goodwood maiden (7f, good to soft) and dominant novice win at Salisbury (1m, heavy) were easily best of his five efforts as 2yo; two of the others were in France; needs to resume progress but will stay 1m2f and is one to consider. |

Stays 1m2f and acts on good to firm; put firmly in his place when 20-1 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown on reappearance but made late headway into fourth of ten off this mark to Lost Boys in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on handicap debut, despite racing freely in rear early on; could have more to give and a stronger pace today may suit. |

Yarmouth maiden winner who was fourth in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on his third 2yo start; put firmly in his place in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance but was 20-1 that day, may have needed the run and could be of more interest on this handicap debut. |

His win was in a 7f novice at Doncaster (good) last July; subsequent efforts include minor honours in a Listed race and two Italian Group 3s, latterly emerging in third of 14 with first-time cheekpieces in their version of the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); that does not make him well handicapped today but his sire gives plenty of hope for 1m2f. |

Created a positive impression when winning a 7f novice at Doncaster on his second 2yo run; better form when a close fourth in Listed company at the St Leger meeting and ended that campaign with a close third in an Italian Group 3; stepping up to 1m should suit; more to come. |

Last of nine on handicap debut (1m, AW) in April but won her other four starts this season; they were 1m2f handicaps at Newmarket, Chester (good) and Epsom (soft) on last three occasions and she's seen those races out strongly; raised another 10lb since that attritional contest two weeks ago, and she's never raced on firmer than good, but it's hard to knock one who's been finding such improvement. |

Second on good to soft on her only 2yo start; last of nine on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April but won her other three starts this season, in 1m2f handicaps at Newmarket and Chester on last two occasions; 6lb rise is a sterner reaction since latest start but she's seen those last two races out strongly and could have more to give; major player. |

AW novice winner who was third in 1m2f Listed race at Epsom and 11.6f Derby Trial at Lingfield (good to firm); same fate as many when tailed off in the Derby (1m4f, soft; 66-1) two weeks ago; improvement is also needed if he's to make a splash on this handicap debut, but return to 1m2f can help. |

Won from the front in two Kempton novices (1m, AW) as 2yo; beat just one rival in the course of three starts since, still showing useful form on reappearance (last of four in a 1m conditions stakes) but eased right down once pursuit was in vain at Epsom (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago on handicap debut; plenty to prove but at least stamina in the family suggests he should stay. |

Reserve; won this spring in his first four handicaps and beaten a head at Carlisle on latest; makes a big step up in class but his stable has continued in great form and, although he's unraced beyond 1m and the third of those wins was over 7f, there's enough in his family to give hope for 1m2f. |
